    That's why it is called buying and not stealing. You buy to push your team over the top. That's when you do it.

    Wait for it? I hate that phrase.

    Next up is the west coast and a week of sleep deprivation.

    This hits the nail on the head with regard to the pitching need. If we don't need pitching, we should make a move for a big bat. When you have a team that can make a run at the championship, IMO you load for bear and go for it. We haven't been to the playoffs in 3 seasons. You don't have this kind of team every year. When you have a team like this, you need to reinforce it to give it the best shot at winning. If we don't add, our competitors will add to their teams. When you have a team like this, that is when you buy at the trading deadline.

    Even if it gives the team what it needs to make a run at a Championship?
  6. a700hitter
    And he does!!

    Ortiz needs to make this game Bailey-proof

    Webster did his job today. He still gives up way too many walks. 4 walks in 6 innings is living dangerously. He kept us in the game and bent but didn't break today, but he's not going to knock anyone out of the rotation yet.

    Iggy has proved himself to be a dangerous bunter.

    With the middle of the order up, I'd rather run with 2 outs to put him in scoring position with a single. Pedroia and Ells probably have green lights anyway, and Farrell didn't send him and Butterball didn't wave him over, so no, I don't have a big problem with that play. I was just noting that it was another guy thrown out on the bases and a lost run. Base running has not been a bright spot for this team.

    Another guy thrown out on the bases costs us a run and maybe more.

    Yanks are beating the Twinkies this afternoon as usual 5-0 in the third inning
  13. a700hitter
    A Pyrrhic victory or just splitting hairs?
  14. a700hitter
    He's seizing his opportunity and trying to make it hard for the Sox to call up Middlebrooks.
  15. a700hitter
    And Gardy won nothing with those guys either.
  16. a700hitter
    The numbers are overwhelmingly bad. Many many of those games were lost in the late innings when Gardenhire decided time and again to over-manage games. Small market or not. The Twins have seen their share of World Championships, and Gardy has had talented competitive teams throughout his tenure, but he's won only one post season series in 11 years and lost 7 series. In the 7 series that the Twins have lost under his leadership, they have won a total of 3 games. That's horrible. He had a nice long tenure and plenty of chances. It's time for the Twins organization to give someone else a chance.
  17. a700hitter
    He's on pace for his lowest HR total (17) since 2007 when he played only 75 games. I have to think that this will turn around.
  18. a700hitter
    Nice start to the game. The kid has a couple of runs to work with. He needs to show that he can get through an order 3 times.
  19. a700hitter
    His record against the Yankees is a disgrace, especially since he has had competitive teams throughout the period that play consistently above .500.
  20. a700hitter
    I could understand that.
  21. a700hitter
    It is reminiscent of the mysterious broken back from a couple of seasons ago. It always concerned me that they never identified the cause of that injury.
  22. a700hitter
    Some advice is in order. Increase the girlfriends and cut back on the cigs. The girls will make you go crazy, but you'll be healthier and have the stamina to run away.
  23. a700hitter
    When a great professional like Omar Vizquel questions what the hell is going on with the running game, you no something is rotten. I watched a lot of Blue Jays games over the last couple of seasons, and as bad as our base running has been, it has not been close to stupidity that had gone on in Toronto in 2011 and 2012.

    When I was pitching softball, there were a couple of seasons where I had neck problems. I'd get a stiff neck and couldn't turn my head. A few times I got the area massaged before the game so I could play. Each time it would last a couple of days and go away. I am not equating anything here to Buchholz. It just seems that some anti inflammatory meds and a massage would have taken care of a stiff neck with a whole medical team and training staff at their disposal. I fear that there is something more going on-- hence the need for the MRI.

    He'll get the job next year in CF and he'll get to sink or swim. If we have a chance to make a deep run this year, I'd like to get a proven MLB stick that maybe can play LF next season too.
