Maybe offer Molitor for $2.99 with a $500,000 rebate?

This was a winnable game, though. I can't see Kelly putting in a player that's almost guaranteed to lose a game.

At least Magill had confidence to lose. Belisle, not sure he ever had any.

Honestly, I didn't mind Rodney. With Rodney, there's a chance. But Belisle against the Sox? No.

Oh, saw that one coming. Truly.

Managers supposedly don't have that much influence on a game, but, putting in Belisle in that situation? Really?

I had to hit the head, walked back out, saw who was on the mound and watched a ball sail into the seats. What was Molitor thinking?

Dick is right when he mentioned these have been two very entertaining games.

Ball was hit on a line. I'm not sure Buxton could have got to that.

Great play by Rosario. That man is a baseball player through and through.

Boo!

And now we get the "FRE Experience!"

Buckle up folks!

6 innings by Lynn, two runs for the Sox? I'd have taken that in a heartbeat. Bullpen's got this, right?

Pitcher didn't break for first, which I think caused 1st base to have a brain flatulence.

And he's been doing better behind the plate lately. Ah well, as long as he bring the lumber, all will be forgiven.

Yep, the runner at second, Lynn on the mound, I just knew Lynn was going to get the job done. .............and I have a special on used bridges, too.

I wonder if the FO did a little reverse ninja psychology on the team? Last year, they traded away a guy, pitcher, and the team seemed to get a little PO'd and took off. Maybe that's the FO's super double secret probationary plan?

Crud, just noticed I was still logged in to my computer at work. *click* It's now officially the weekend.

Initially, I really carped about Mr. Smalley, but, I admit, the man has grown on me. I like Torrii simply because he's such a free spirit but, only in small doses.

Sorry to see Escobar go. Astudillo brought up to replace him? Good luck to Mr. Escobar and may he be playing for the D Backs when they meet the Twins in the Series.

Just listened to the Gibson interview and it was rather humorous, Gibson says he asked Molitor for one base runner and he'd go out again. What a crazy game.

I think the only reason Gibson is traded, short of a AJ Pierzynksi type of haul, is the FO doesn't believe the Twins will compete next year.

Yeah, me too. This is the guy that absolutely shut down the Yankees in Yankee stadium earlier this year too.

Ah to be young again....
