Well, I've got not terrible news for you.  We haven't lost yet!

that was the worse a.b. ive ever seen Polanco have, 

Nice while it lasted until our stink can't help but show through 

what's that smell?

Who is in charge of the waiver claims on this team? Have they struck gold since Wisler last year? Burrows looks like another they should have let the waiving team stash in the minors.

final: 15-6

I think you're going to be a bit light on the Tigers score.

If they can’t find someone to take Happ for anything in the world by Fridays deadline he has to be DFA’d right? Season is over, he’s been awful. There’s literally no reason to keep him on the team other than potentially find some hidden trade value. He’s shown there’s none. There is no way he makes another start right?

Yeah, you have to DFA him - and I don't think anyone is going to trade a bag of balls for Happ. Just DFA the guy out of respect for his career, maybe a team will take a flier on him and he can ride off into the sunset. Shoemaker hasn't found a job yet, though, which makes me doubtful Happ will either.

Our two big SP acquisitions - both DFA'ed by August and left to burn on a heap of broken promises and shattered dreams. And somehow, our bullpen is a bigger disappointment.

What a train wreck.

i say just put happ in a boat in a lake and push him out.

Unfortunately this one I prepared prematurely last night died in vain. I should learn.

 

I got home around 9:30 last night, debated about listening to the game, checked the score, where I believe they had a 5 to 1 lead in the top of the 9th, so I decided just to watch the Olympics - that chicken dinner was being prepared across Twins Territory.  What were the chanced that the bullpen would blow a lead at that point?

Kepler gets an Atta Boy!

Twins’ pitching is terrible.  
 

i will not renew MLB.tv next year!   Not fun to watch Twins!

Shoemaker led the league in ERA at the time of DFA and Happ leads it now. And by leading I mean the wrong way haha

Rooker also gets an Atta Boy!

Did Latroy just blame the pitching and length of this game on the ump? Sick of hearing his commentary at games.

Sano also gets an Atta Boy!

Ball seems to be jumping a tad today.

Astudillo gets a high five.

 

This bit seems to be working.  

Jeffers gets an Atta Boy!

Leaving Happ and Burows in too long is coming back to haunt Baldelli, they could be winning this game....

What is happening?!? 4HRs in an inning? We were down 10-0!!

Should have let Simmons hit. Another out and there would have been a chance that Kepler, Sano, Jeffers and Rooker all passed him in the batting average category today.

OK, let's go for the 2 point conversion and the lead

This game is absurd.

Does Rocco learn from past mistakes?  PH for Simmons, so who plays SS?  

I'm bringing Gordon in at SS and putting Cave in CF.

I wonder .... When's the last time a team hit six home runs, gave up zero home runs and lost?

Normally, I approve of trying to steal there.  But with the pitching in this game being what it is, I'd be inclined to let Kepler hit there.

That was fun while it lasted, given how the Twins are allergic to the ninth inning.

I remember someone ripping Sano for only hitting HRs in games that don't matter.......
