Brunansky: Joe, I'd like to work on some things with your swing. Mauer: Tom, how many batting titles do you have? Brunansky: Um, none but.... [Mauer walks away]

His line drive percentage is consistent with his BA, so I don't think bad luck as anything to do with it.

Finally, an unflattering photo of Brian Dozier. Pretty boy, my ass.

I don't know whether to consider this sarcastic or not. Since when does a player have to be in AAA to get called up?

I agree with this, and I think the same can be said about Santana. Let's get rid of both of them and get Polanco in there.

Here's the lineup I'd like to see, predicated on a Vargas callup: 1 Dozier 2B 2 Rosario LF 3 Hunter RF 4 Plouffe 3B 5 Mauer 1B 6 Vargas DH 7 Hicks CF 8 Suzuki C 9 Escobar SS Send Santana down, recall Vargas. I realistically can't see them moving Mauer much farther down than 5th, or else I'd swap him with Vargas in the lineup.

I think the bottom line is that they won't make any wholesale moves if they keep winning. I think they're afraid to upset the apple cart.

I really like Jerry Remy. Very impartial and gives the other team props. Kinda the anti-Hawk. Oh, and in my opinion (ahem, not FACT), the ball hits higher than the numbers. Probably at least 12 feet up. If Hicks can jump 12 feet, he's Superman.

Meh, these aged Yankees don't frighten me in the least. Old history.

I'm losing patience with Danny Santana.

I would think Chih-Wei Hu and Stephen Gonsalves would have something to say about the top three starting prospects thing.

Ahhhh, that explains that inside the parker....

Tigers baserunning - no es bueno

One sure thing he will lead the league in: (4-3)

**** me.

So nice to see Joe in mid-season form.

Let's not forget Rosario's hard smash single off of lefty McFarland. That sounded loud.

Unfortunately.....agree.

I thought maybe he had a special one-time exemption

The Twins are the ubergodliest 90-loss team evah!

Can Miggy hit a 5-run HR?

Danny's a megagod

Danny's a god

Tonkin would make too much sense, wouldn't it?

nah, I'd pinch hit Hermann <Gardy likes this>
