The Twins line-up
God, it’s just bad.
Lugo with a RBI so far. Baseball is weird…

It was a groundout RBI though.
Had anyone been on 1B, it would’ve been a DP. Or at least that’s my analysis of the Gamecast.
Manny ain't the only bad man.

Yeah
But when there are 2 men at scoring position, and nobody at first, I expect my Lugo to strikeout. :)

Lugo's rbi was his TYPICAL ground ball
which would be an easy out and maybe a dp if someone was on first! He just got situationally lucky. He does not belong on this team!

Can you believe Lugo just made *another* error?
Yes, actually.

trade for Eric Gagne
he can’t be any worse as a shortstop than Lugo.

You’re right. And that’s kind of sad. Lugo can’t hit for shit, and he is a crappy infielder. What the hell is he doing on the line-up?

I just can't think of any team in the NL that are this desperate for a SS
I guess that to trade Lugo, we’d have to put other players in the deal.

Who's starting at 2B for them?
I just can’t remember now. Can Lugo play 2B? But if they are stupid enough to want Tavarez, maybe they’d send Tulo for us. :)

LUGO DOES NOT BELONG ON THIS TEAM!
He is such a glaring weak link that the entire championship plan in place for the Sox may well be jeopardized by this one poor player out of his league on this team!

Aren't you glad...
...you don’t cheer for the Mariners?
SEATTLE (AP)—Seattle slugger Richie Sexson was suspended for six games and fined Friday by Major League Baseball after charging the mound and throwing his helmet at a Texas pitcher [Kason “I was once traded for Gagne” Gabbard] the previous night.
I don’t see what the big deal is. It’s not like Sexson has hit anything recently.

How is the Twins bullpen as of today?
Because Boof has already threw over 90 pitches (more than Lester!).

If you listen carefully...
you can hear the ghost of Bob Stanley

No it definitely should have been Paps
Oki had already pitched 2 innings for one thing. More importantly though, Paps is the closer and he gets the majority of saves. I don’t know what’s going on with him but he didn’t look as fired up as he usually does.
