I saw nothing positive in that tub of goo that pitched last night. I have a feeling roster moves will be sooner than later.

Bret that's a good one. I won't say I told you so Twins fans but if Dave Duncan can't fix him you can forget about it.

[jigging-matt]

Not That I'm a Ponson Fan, but give him a couple of chances to prove his worth, or not. Same with Ortiz, his one good start is great but lets follow that with a few more before we decide that he was worth the signing. Its still early, after a couple more starts we will have a better understanding of the pitching staff that we have.

[bassNspear]

I agree with you. It will take a few to prove that they are going to be what we expect of them. I was ust happy that they got started on the right foot.

[schweady]

Not so much 'Boof!,' more like 'Oof!'...

Lots of times against the $kankie$, it looks like men vs boys. These last couple have looked like men vs girlie boys.

Here's hoping we can win one of the 7 we have this year against them: We've got tickets for the July 5th affair in NY, and would be a little more fun if we're not walking into that one 0-6 in the series.

[LOTWSvirgin]

I doubt we will 0 and 6 but they are not playing great but they are still a good team the yankees are hitting the ball great if they keep it up the will be unstoppable but we all now how long that may last A-rod is hitting that ball like it were slow pitch 6 homers in seven games that is hard to compete against

[Cyberfish]

I just got home from the game... it is gonna be a long season! At least I didnt come out to 8 inches of snow!

[harvey lee]

Sad to say but the Twins only have one starting pitcher worth a hoot.

[LOTWSvirgin]

hhhmmmmmmmm yep

Yanks are hitting about .400 I think. They are going to win a lot of games this year, despite their pitching injuries. Bottom half of the Twins line-up better get going real soon. Way too many guys hitting sub .200 right now. That don't get it done when we have mediocre starting pitchers.

[kaz2611]

they stunk the place up last year the first month of the season then they got rolling and became central division champs. I wouldnt give up on the starters yet yankees lineup is solid id be more concerned about the twins lack of batting and or patience at the plate.

[bucketmouth64]

Still early in the season. I think one of the pitchers sent to AAA will be called up in 2 months if not sooner. I think Gardy and Ryan will give the veterans the benefit of the doubt and give them a few starts and see what happens. Lots of fundamental mistakes happening by position players. Bartlett has too many errors, and it seems like Cuddy is always close to making some baserunning blunder. Our bats are off to a slow start. Yankees made us look like a their college team byatch. I think Yanks will sweep us this time around.

[IFallsRon]

Yuck. The Twins have turned into Cleveland.

[Jarrod32]

You guys need to be careful...you're going to pull a hamstring jumping on and off the bandwagon here.

Two bad games, and the roof is caving in? This is the team that swept their opening series, with three strong pitching performances. They split two games on the road in Chicago - and had two more strong starting pitching performances.

Now they have two bad starts...against a very, very good hitting team...and you can practically sense everyone thinking that the season is on the verge of collapse.

Ponson had a bad start. Bonser has had one decent and one bad start (and inconsistency, by the way, is what you tend to get from young starting pitchers). Everyone else has had one good start, and in Santana's case, two good starts.

Let's see where the Twins are at on Sunday night, after the four-game series against Tampa Bay.

After those two games against the Yanks I can only think of my cousin Eddie, the one from Vegas Vacation...Come on Geno, you know what his quote is going to be....

"I ain't seen a beatin like that since they put a banana down my shorts and turned a monkey loose"!

[bassNspear]

Guys, Its the Yankees, THey should be this good. Look at the cap situation. They are suppose to be the best team in the league. You have to understand that.

Twins are going to be ok. I feel they are going to be in the top 2 for the central.

I dont care who you are, thats funny right there.

[bassNspear]

ok larry

[Bobby Bass]

Long season... can't win them all..No excuses, looking bad against the Yanks. By September who will remember.. Everyone wins 50 and everyone losses 50 it is the other games that matter

[Muskycrazy]

I didn't see Boof pitch last night but did get to see Sid the other night . Couldn't help but thinking that a lot of his pitches were pretty good and if he could settle in and relax he might be OK . He didn't that night but I think with a few more starts and some dag nubit run support he could win a few . Santana doesn't usually get to mid season form until well .... midseason - so lets settle down a game a game or ten , lets these guys get some time in and hope it comes together . It will .

[jigging-matt]

I realize it is still early but Ortiz is starting to convince me that he might be a worthy starter.

[Jarrod32]

Nice game by Ortiz tonight. He can be at least a good innings-eater in the middle of the rotation. Let's see how Silva does tomorrow...he has a chance to be the same...an effective innings eater in the middle of the order.

[bassNspear]

NOW THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT.

He pitched awesome. It was nice to see that the team picked him up at the end of the game, with hitting the ball around the park.

Awesome game.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Philth,

Got to agree with you, that there is funny and I don't care who you are, Lord forgive me...........

Interesting side note, I was talking to one of my clients today up in Spooner, Wisconsin and he started talking about being in Vegas watching his son in law perform, I asked him who it was as I frequent Sin City quite a bit myself and he told me that it was the one and only LARRY THE CABLE GUY! He said that he is really a good guy and he is the same as he appears on his show, a fun loving good ole boy. Small world (though I wouldn't want to paint it)

Nice job by Ortiz last night guys and it was great seeing Farnsworth get lit up. Enjoyed flipping back and forth between that game and the Dice K Red Sox game. That Felix Hernandez that pitches for Seattle is flat out filthy, one hit allowed. My cards are coming off a nice 5-1 road trip but in cardinal nation were all hoping that Carpenter get's well quick, been very impressed with the starters picking up the slack. Izzy is back on track and the bull pen is strenghtening but we need Carp. Pujols has been hitting like dump and Kennedy hasn't found his stroke yet either, even Rolen being out the last couple of starts they still seem to get-r-done. Big series against the Brew Crew starting tomorrow hopefully Reyes will stop dancing around the strikezone and start going after hitters like he did in the world series against Detroit.

[IFallsRon]

I think that the Twins will show more success when they can get into the other team's bullpen.
