I just posted it in the "Liriano" thread.

Yes, I'm happy and Contreras belongs there as well!!

Francisco Liriano is going to the All-Star Game after all.

The Twins' rookie left-hander, who was beat out by White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski for the final AL All-Star spot in Internet voting Thursday, got the nod to replace Chicago right-hander Jose Contreras on Monday.

Contreras pitched against the Red Sox on Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and striking out six in six innings of the White Sox's 6-5, 19-inning win. On the season, the right-hander is 9-0 with a 3.38 ERA.

In 22 games this season, Liriano is 10-1 with 102 strikeouts and leads the majors with a 1.83 ERA.

dont get me wrong. i love the rookie. but he is a rookie. lets not get carried away with calling him the best pitcher in mlb. he is right now, but he isnt going to go 20-2 with a sub 2 era every year. he'll slow down a little bit when people start seeing him 2nd and 3rd times. but he is fun to watch and should be in the all-star game.

Why can't a bunch of fans get excited about a guy with such great potential? I mean, look at how the Cubs' Wood and Prior have come off over the years....they are still raking in the big bucks so they must not have gone thru any of that "2nd or 3rd time through" stuff yet.

As much as I like Santana... Roy Halladay is the best pitcher in the game. Liriano as nasty as he is has a ways to go be called the best pitcher in mlb. At the end of this season hopefully we can say he is the best in mlb grin.gif

I remember playing fantasy baseball when halladay was a rookie and on my team... we were at a bar watching him pitch and he gave up 11 earned runs and everybody was laughing at me!! I will never forget it! I was touting him like the next big deal and he gets killed!! Now he's the shizzie!

I wish he wouldn't have made the team. he flys in from central america on a days notice, does not pitch, flys back to minnesota to start the next game. I think all that traveling was a factor in his less than good performance last night. its probally why ozzie called him in, to mess up the twins pitching.

Yeah he probably got all messed up with all the travel. sooner or later that dump will take its toll on the body. Still the best young pitcher going in either league!

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
