8/24/05: Mighty Whities/Twins

[Timberwolf]

Twins will try to go take the series this evening as they play a three-game series against the White Sox. I am sure this evening's game will be a good one, but it would be hard-pressed to match last night's beautiful ballgame. That was some game. I thought about that game last night and all day at work. That was just awesome and even great with the good guys winning.

Joe Mays will be on the hill tonight. This is a big game for him. If he stinks tonight, he better be out of the rotation. He needs to do well. With Scott Baker or maybe Francisco Liriano ready, it's time Joe steps up or get out of the way.

My friend, Mark Buherle is on the hill. He does not scare me. Twins have found ways to beat him lately.

If the Twins lose this game, it will be because of Joe Mays

BTW, I got the Sox telecast. Poor me. Will Hawk Harrelson please get a new shirt? That shirt he wore has been going on for four days. Geez.

I plan on harassing Hawk about my favorite columnist, Jay Mariotti tonight. Let's see if he has the guts to answer my email. Mariotii ripped the White Sox again in the Sun-Times today and I let Hawk know about it too.

I showed Hawk this article by Mariotti today.

What is Hawk waiting for? I like to see him read my email on Jay Mariotti.

There will be no harassing in the Twins forum of any other person....

Joe Mays fugging blows.

This guy sucks.

How the **** he has a job in this rotation is beyond me? It's time for him to go away. I want him gone now. Why are the Twins having a hard time understanding this guy sucks? Why can't they call up Baker? What are they waiting for? I hope the organization wakes up and smell the coffee. They have to realize that this guy is awful. He has zero value. Why is he in the rotation?

Knowing the Twins, he will be back next year.

Thank God he is gone, but knowing the Twins, he will be in the rotation for the rest of the season and next year.

Could you imagine if there were no defensive highlights by the Twins? This could have been a 12-0 laugher. It still may be.

How much more can the Twins and their fans take from Joe Mays? How? I am so tired of this guy. He has stunk this entire second half of the season and quite frankly, he is even worse than Kyle Lohse. Tonight was simply pathetic. He stunk from the get-go. Yeah he had three good innings after a lousy first, but then the roof caved in the fifth and that was it for him. Fans at the game let him know about it by booing him after Joe was taken out of the game. When Minnesota sports fans boo, you are in big trouble. It was painfully clear how the fans feel about Joe.

Twins gotta do something. This is getting ridiculous. I keep saying that it's time to relegate Joe to the bullpen. What part of that do the Twins not understand? Scott Baker is wasting his talent in the minors while Joe steals money and makes a complete fool out of himself every start. When is enough is enough? I can't take it anymore. Joe should have been in the pen long, long time ago. Terry Ryan and Ron Gardenhire are not stupid people. This has to be a situation where the organization does not want to play Scott Baker any service time. If that's really the case, then shame on the organization. This shows you that the team is not that serious about winning. So what if they have to pay Scott Baker for his service this year. It's a lot better than seeing Joe steal money out there. The fact that I knew tonight would be a loss because of Joe just shows you how much faith I lost in this guy altogether. I have given up on him and the fans have spoken through their vocal chords tonight at the game. It's time to show the fans that they are serious about winning by forcing Mays to be in the pen and let Baker get an opportunity to step up now. Mays's opportunity is up. So what if Baker stinks. I rather see Baker struggle than watch Mays blow up again.

Thank God the defense made some plays or else it would be a 17-0 laughter by the White Sox. The catch of the night was Brent Abernathy, who was playing at left field.

I had a feeling this was going to be a loss with Joe out there. Big game tommorow. Twins need to take the series IMO.
