They might be able to beat Minnesota the Twins are the worst offense in MLB.
What a sucky series
Every team from here on out should throw a lefty our way if they were smart. Even if they need to call a guy up from low A or sign him off the street. Seriously bad.
I’d complain about the 20 LOB except KC left on 18 themselves.
argh. we better snap out of this funk soon.
We may have no choice but to call up LaPorta with Hafner on the DL now. We need some offense. That said Im actually more concerned with our pitching. Ubaldo and Masterson have struggled, Gomez is coming back down to earth, Lowe has been great but he is overachieving. Tomlin is who he is, and has trouble staying healthy. The rotation is looking very shaky right now.
“We may have no choice but to call up LaPorta…..We need some offense.”
even Matt’s mom read that 5 times to make sure it’s what you meant 🙂
Haha, I posted that comment before reading that LaPorta has been struggling lately after a hot start. Ugh, I guess we’re left to hope that Johnny Damon turns it around (pauses for laughter) ….
I hate to say it, but Willingham would look good in left field right about now. Or Cody Ross for that matter.
