I wonder what the over/under is in September when we can start looking up at the White Sox?

 

I'm guessing....  the 21st.

We can start a pool- everybody put in a can of Hamm's, and the winner gets it all!
 
Ooooo, might be warm by then, but, oh, well...

Well, it's nice to get a chance to look at all these kids.  Wait, never mind.

 

Agreed about Kepler.  There are a lot of weak batting averages on this team, but who would have predicted Adrianza would have 20 points on Kepler?

 

I count 4 guys in the starting lineup that I look forward to seeing next year.  Unfortunately I think there are a lot more that I should plan on seeing.

The race to #7 worst is very do-able. Only 4.5 "behind" the Reds.

 

They could get the #5 pick if the White Sox and Tigers somehow get hot or suck less than the Twins. The Twins are currently 7.5 "behind" both teams.

I think the Twins will inexplicably win this game. 

 

At this point, unless the opponent is the O's, the Jays, or a non-Cleveland AL Central team, any win by this Twins team is inexplicable.

This time of year is rough when you are out of it. I always want the team to win but there is little hope - then you feel guilty hoping they lose except for the fact that most of the guys in this lineup won’t be starting on the team next year. So then maybe it’s ok to lose. We have Polanco, Kepler and Garver sharing the catcher position with Castro.

Golly- I had to glance at the 40-man to see if there isn't someone, anyone, that could have been called up instead of Mr. Field.

 

Literally, no one.  But- heck, we couldn't call up Vargas for a farewell tour, and he could DH while Robbie hacks around in the pasture til Eddie R comes back? Or does MoY need to have at least one BWilson automatic out in the lineup?

 

Well, there is One guy, but......
