Barry's GIANT CRANIUM!!

Drew is not Ortiz. Perhaps this is why Manny is struggling?

you know that this run will score because lugo can't handle a ball hit right at him, right?

Manny for Nomar?

He has to be hobbling. Why else would they continue to DH him instead of moving him to left and playing Casey at DH? I wish they'd stick him on the DL if he really is that banged up. He's not helping one bit.

I'm getting annoyed with Don and Jerry's talk about how awesome the Twins are.

Really all the media talk about Papi getting his hits because of Manny seems rather overstated at this point.

3/3 on the last home stand
1/3 in Houston
0/3 in Tampa
2/2 in NY
1/? against the Twins....

This team needs to win some fucking games

What's your other 2% think?

I'm 94% sure that Lowell is going nowhere. Maybe even 95%.

Game over.

Holy futility, Batman.

Fucking christ sex!

BASTARDS!

Tek/Lugo/Coco would not have done that

I asked you b/c the thought occurred to me after Manny's non at-bat the last game in the Toilet. Which, of course, occurred on the heels of his dust-up with the sixty-four yr old.

Though an incredible long shot, I'd never say never precisely b/c of that Nomar move.

we do nothing, keep all prospects and punt this year, ie not getting fuentes and marte, ect/

i was thinking the same thing. remy, you do realize the twins are NOT THAT GOOD, right?

What GM not named Omar Minaya would trade for Manny right now?

Looks like we're in the midst of one of those two-month .500-ball stretches. It is not fun.

Colletti.

how about Omar Minaya?

Quick before Minaya's fired

Brian Sabean?
He's collecting corpses over there.

Heche from The Sopranos?

But with Church and Alou having lost seasons, and so much pitching headed to the NL Central, that might be all the GMs you need.

Sad to say it doesn't even look like they are playing .500

This is becoming a clusterf*ck. The Twins don't have to do much more to put this game out of reach, and I can't stand saying that.

I think Theo stands pat. Lets Manny walk next year but this and hopes they rally after Ortiz comes back this year.

What's the move to make before the deadline? Bullpen or offense?

Not gonna happen, not never. We're more likely to sign Bonds and give him his own recliner and a personal massage therapist right in the dugout before we trade Manny.

Ellsbury's not on that list because every one of his grounders is hit right at the second baseman.

It will be great to get Papi back but remember he has not exactly been lighting the world on fire this year.

ARGH!! Last years analysis!

what? what did i do?

I agree. And any move they make this season will be a minor one.

Wait...what?!

Wait until Lowell and Youks go into their 2nd half slides....

I said Manny or Lowell thinking about the Dodgers, they get either one and they run away with the division, they have always been one hitter away... I can't believe they didn't take Manny off waivers. Plus they refuse to play Andy LaRoche and I want him. How he is riding the pine so DeWitt can play is the stupidest fucking decision in MLB right now.

Pretty sure last year was his best season ever.

FOX has The Moment of Truth on right now and I am seriously considering watching it. Can it really be worse than this?

Oh look some dumb slut in a tiara in the stands

Theo's trading Lowell for LaRoche why? This is a "go for it" year.

While I agree it's a bad decision, I suspect there are many candidates for that honor...

You could be a contestant.

the lead felt insurmountable at 3-1, now it is time to go watch THE Rays-Yanks and root for injuries

just kidding, I'll still watch this game

Blackburn might go the Complete Game with less than 90 pitches.

The question may be: Which team would Manny approve a trade to?

why would you exchange one form of torture for another?

Was it Mystic Merlin who was arguing that this wasn't an old team?

my bad, flipping between Rays and this game.
