Why do I get the feeling that these AL teams are going to make us look like a AAA team?

[Fella]

I expect more of the same, good pitching and terrible hitting

[rok]

So Miles sucks at the plate and on the field too. Worthless.

[jeffy]

Yes, that should've been a no doubt DP.

[rok]

Fuk is looking more and more like his 2008 2nd half self again lately. Am I the only one who's worried?

[Fella]

Yeah he has been awful of late. He was hitting too well and decided to join the shit parade I guess.

[Fella]

That was a great inning.

[jeffy]

Slowey's a damn fine pitcher. He's on my fantasy team and he's been kicking a decent amount of ass this year.

But, yes, I'm worried about Fuk. And when it's a question of either Fuk or Bradley hitting 3rd, that's not a good sign for the team in general.

[Fella]

95 hits, including 12 HRs this year in 72 innings against Slowey coming in. Sounds like he has been getting knocked around all year. He keeps his numbers solid because he literally never walks anyone though.

A couple concerns:

Theriot is striking out like a beast lately.
It sounds like there are almost as many Twins fans as Cubs fans at the game.

[Fella]

Well that's probably the game.

Yeah there are a lot of Twins fans, doesn't look like near as many as Cubs, but there are a lot.

.... and Mauer is ridiculous.

There's a huge number of Minnesota transplants in the area, so it doesn't surprise me.

[Fella]

Wells has thrown a shitload of pitches already.

I'm glad I'm not home to watch this nonsense. I may have to stay away from the TV all weekend.
