At the time, I was really surprised we got Millone for Sam Fuld.  I thought Ryan had really fleeced Beane.  Now...not so much.  I don't want Fuld back, but maybe releasing him would have been a better idea.

What a great concept tho... How bout some:

 

Gilbert O' Sullivan -- "Milone Again... Tragedy"

I think the Twins are miracle workers when it comes to bullpen pitchers and 4th OFers, but when it comes to AAAA starters, they just suck.

 

That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but face it, we have 3 of the worst starting pitchers in baseball right now. Nolasco has been awful, Milone needs an actual pitching staff instead of whatever Rick Anderson tells him to do, and May has been bad. May will get better over time, but these other two... heck, I'd give Milone a shot in training camp but there's no way Alex Meyer should be blocked by him.

 

Vance Worley, Liam Hendriks, or even Scott Diamond would be better options than Tommy Milone. But y'know, with this pitching staff, it wouldn't matter. They'd all be bad.

 

 

Ahem! Sorry for getting carried away. I've had it with this pitching staff. I'll let TR judge them this offseason and see if Rick Anderson will stay another season.

I assume you mean the coaching staff rather than the pitching staff?  I'm tired of the pitching staff (starters, anyway) AND the coaching staff.

 

Hey look!  Swarzak got rocked!  Too bad there's no one left in the pen,

 

Well, Dick, there seem to be about 15 pitchers sitting out there...

Thorogood -- "I drink Milone... Yeah Eah... Cuz he's on the mound".

"Pitcher, behave"
That's what they say when I’m working

"And watch how you play"
They don't understand ... And so they’re

running just as fast as they can
Holding on to one another's hand ..."

I wonder if Milone is gonna demand a trade when he starts in Rochester next year?

I wonder what he's gonna say when the Twins say "OK.  You've been traded to Toledo."

I get no kick from Milone.

Mere breaking ball doesn't thrill me at all.

So tell me why should it be true,

That I got an out, out of you.

Tiffany? Dude... You gotta go with Tommy James.

 

Regardless... "I think its Milone Now" is stuck in my head

You have to understand that I had to use Tiffany's version to give it the raw pathetic feeling to make the post work to it's utmost ability.

 

Sorry Tommy James.

Godsmack -- "I... Can't stand Milone... Inside I... Can't stand Milone".

since the twins arrived in 1961----

there have been 4 players who have hit 50 home runs or more against them

jim thome, reggie jackson, frankthomas, paul konerko

 

trivia question:

which one did not play for the white sox?

 

(babe ruth is not an acceptable answer)

Well...then ok... Tiffany it is!!!

Hang Down your head, Tom Millone - y.

Hang down your head and cry.

Ron "Pig Pen" McKernan?

I wonder what he's gonna say when the Twins say "OK.  You've been traded to Toledo."

Hmmmm... he'd probably be in a better situation there, though.

Ode to Tommy Millone

(chorus):

I use the bullpen to play,

Just like yesterday,

Then I get on my knees and pray,

We won't get fooled again.

I have a trivia question: In 1961, how many games did National league teams play?

Ron "Pig Pen" McKernan?

smokestack lightning

I have a trivia question: In 1961, how many games did National league teams play?

too many....

Live -- "My Milone... Is through... My Milone... Who knew... My Milone... Is Through"... Yet I fear it's not the end of this".

Well...then ok... Tiffany it is!!!

I could have disrespected Mr. James again and used Billy Idol's version of "Milone Milone", but I chose against it. Disrespect x 2 is a Karmic nightmare waiting to happen.

"See me, pitch me, touch me, crush me-ee-ee-ee-ee"

too many....

It was the last year they played 154, but it was the first year the American League played 162.

So it only took the Senior Circuit one year to catch up to the Junior Circuit (?) on that one, but the DH has been in effect for 42 years and they still haven't come around.

Yesterday, baseball was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh, I believe in yesterday

 

Why control had to go I don't know it wouldn't say

Zuke called for something wrong, now I long for yesterday

"See me, pitch me, touch me, crush me-ee-ee-ee-ee"

 

Who sings that?

 

"Sure throws a mean curve ball..." Comes to mind for some reason.

Well dick we are into the 5th with a tie score, what do you think?

 

Well Bert, I am not sure! We never been this close in the 5th before??

 

Well dick this reminds me of a couple of [insert certain religious group here] who were invited into a home that they had called on. When asked by the homeowner what they wanted to talk about, they looked at each other, shrugged and one said " we don't know, we never got this far before"!

 

Well Bert what did you think of the job tommy milone did tonight?

I've seen too many guys fail, when their track record says they should be better. Some have performed much better once they left Minnesota. The Twins haven't had ma big arms, but guys like Milone, Worley, and Nolasco have had success and then come to Minnesota and can't put together two good outings.

i have the perfect solution for the dh rule

but no one seems to appreciate it

One more:

 

My Milone has a first name, it's P-O-O-P-Y.

My Milone has a second name, it's D-E-L-U-X-E.

I love to eat it every day, and if you ask me why I'll say

'Cause Poopy Deluxe has a way with M-I-L-O-N-E!

 

Tommy James better of not wrote this jingle.

Who sings that.

 

 

fixed

LOL...
