catchers running for doubles make me laugh

I can hear in my head “chug, chug, chug” like a slow freight train. :D

All we needed to break this tie was Ian’s due-diligence in starting another overflow thread. Who knew it was that simple?

Granderson is FILTHY. Just look at that uniform.

Mauer, Morneau and Cuddyer

Well, if it is going to be a blown lead next inning, it should happen very quickly!

Not with this front office and manager: he meets all the requirements of (1) being able to walk, (2) having two arms and (3) throwing above 97.

I'm ashamed of myself for thinking this

but I swear to God he deliberately pitches poorly to get himself into the position to get the win

well, it is a contract year

funny how Rodney seems to concentrate so much more

If the situation is much more difficult for him to get a save in.

I would NEVER. If he was still great the Red Sox would keep him

they must be

He’s a great guy, but not such a great pitcher anymore. It’s sad.

I think it’s worth a flier. He’s going to come infinitely cheaper than Dontrelle Willis, Nate Robertson and Jeremy Bonderman. If he’s willing to give it a go out of the pen in Toledo for a couple of weeks, for the minimum, what’s the harm?

by Mike Rogers on Aug 9, 2009 4:22 PM EDT up reply actions  

ian just texted

“are they still winning?”

by allikazoo on Aug 9, 2009 4:18 PM EDT reply actions  

HAHAHAHAHA!

Tell him Rodney gave up 3 in the 9th.

by NCDee on Aug 9, 2009 4:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

and he walked in two runs with the bases loaded

yup

When would such an opportunity come along again?

Such opportunities should never be squandered. :)

I stayed away until it was over...

I am Soooo happy we won and no longer disgusted.

Twins are leaving town. YAY

I don't care

I’m going to celebrate with ice cream! I care not for post-game blatherings when chocolate awaits.

Is this the first time we've been 8 games over .500?

Seems ot me I remember us sticking on 7 for the most part.
