July 4, 201214 yr The White Sox are beating the stew out of the Rangers tonight -- 16-0 in the 7th. Oswalt pitched worse than Blackburn tonight.
July 4, 201214 yr Takes a lot to raise your over-7 ERA to now over-8 There is no reason. NONE. To leave this guy on the team. He provides no help. At all.
July 4, 201214 yr These starters are killing the bullpen. The effectiveness of any of these guys later in the year, AND next year from over-use in 2012, will be in question.
July 4, 201214 yr There is no reason. NONE. To leave this guy on the team. He provides no help. At all.Agreed he's pretty much useless right now, but who do we have to replace him? Do we leave Duensing in the rotation permanently? The only reason he's still pitching now is that there aren't many alternatives.
July 4, 201214 yr At least Blackie got his ERA back over 8.Oswalt's ERA is now 7.79. Maybe the Rangers would take Blackburn for Oswalt?
July 4, 201214 yr Author Oswalt's ERA is now 7.79. Maybe the Rangers would take Blackburn for Oswalt?Hah, why not?
July 4, 201214 yr So Bert Blyleven is not doing the telecasts for the next couple of weeks. They say it is because of duties connected with the hall of fame induction this year. I have another theory. Perhaps the Twins have talked him out of retirement and he's getting ready to join the rotation.

I would not mind seeing Butera get a start if the other option that day is Blackburn.
July 4, 201214 yr I give Gray a lot of credit for two quality innings. Now the Twins need to load the bases for Plouffe.
July 4, 201214 yr Now the Twins need to load the bases for Plouffe.OK, the first part of my fantasy has come true. Now it's up to the Babe to hit one out.
July 4, 201214 yr OK, the first part of my fantasy has come true. Now it's up to the Babe to hit one out.He can't. Willingham has to hit one first, then it's Plouffe's turn again.
July 4, 201214 yr Plouffe knows hes allowed to hit with guys on base, right?He did earlier in the game, but I think they talked to him in the dugout about it afterward.
July 4, 201214 yr Yes, the throw sucked. Can't anticipate a bad throw...how did mauer NOT score from 2B on a double??? did he have to hold?? I'm folowing on Gameday.
July 4, 201214 yr Twins Baseball™!I know the offense has'nt been the problem for the most part but they they leave a ton of men on base.
July 4, 201214 yr Can't anticipate a bad throw...how did mauer NOT score from 2B on a double??? did he have to hold?? I'm folowing on Gameday.It looked like the fielder had a chance to catch it, so he had to hover near second until it dropped.
July 4, 201214 yr Can't anticipate a bad throw...how did mauer NOT score from 2B on a double??? did he have to hold?? I'm folowing on Gameday.I was a ball that the outfielder should have caught -- it bounced off his glove -- so Mauer had to wait.
July 4, 201214 yr Spectacular catch and throw by Plouffe!!! Double play ends the inning.Do you know who statfreak is?
