Twins @ Mariners

Ace vs Ace game 1...Santana's gonna be tough to beat, but at the rate the Yankees' are goning and with the Angels' getting a day off, this series is important to win, hopefully sweep. Stay on pace with NY and creep closer with LA.

You know, it hasn't been many games since he's taken over, but I really dont like the idea of Mac as our manager. I mean, he makes A LOT of horrible decisions, but he's bailed out by the very good team he manages.

I mean, not bunting Bloomquist was moronic (Even though it worked out) and then why the hell do you bring in Parrish when you have Green and Sher up in the pen? Its stupid! Its the first game of the series and only a 2-run lead against one of the best pitchers in the game, you cant f around.

We're still winning, but the Twins have a chance to tie. I dont know, I just think we need to explore new opportunities in the offseason when it comes to managers.

OMG JONES YOU IDIOT!! :banghead:

Whatever, I dont even care about that play. I still blame our moronic manager from bringing in Parrish to begin the inning. Green wouldnt even have let the Twins get on base.

Redemption for Sexson off a tough reliever! Hell yeah!

Sexson is tearing the cover off of the ball right now! YA BABY! :bowdown:

Richie's finding his way back to the tune of 3 RBI's and a walkoff long ball.

power hitters unite!!!

a tough win, but a win afterall. this next 2 games look easier, but with the mariners you can expect anything.

Don't worry, Ramirez will conserve the win at home today! Stupid Yankees' streak...

I've decided that I am not going to watch any more Mariners games this season in which Horacio Ramirez is starting. Its just too painful and I end up very upset.

Atleast the Yankees lost.

Stupid Ramirez...if we lose this, I'll lose all faith that I still had in him..Let's pray the M's put up some more runs...

So did the Angels...would've been a great game to win..

I lost faith in Ramirez a long time ago. Its unfortunate that our front office doesn't feel the same way.

Our first 4 starters are pretty damn solid, but holy hell. Although, honestly, it wouldn't have mattered on this night. Garza is a beast.

Yeah, you'd think that would be the tipping point for Ramirez. He used to be able to suck on the road and win at home, but now he's garbage wherever he pitches. Cut your losses and stow him in the bullpen.

OMG, H got creamed! his last hopes were to keep his winning streak at home, now? :nonono:

today's prediction: coin toss...

Tacoma's bullpen, that is.

Fine by me. But sadly, he still might be an upgrade over Parrish.

Ex-hippie · Post #19 » by **Ex-hippie** » Thu Aug 16, 2007 5:29 pm

Can someone explain to me why they even acquired Parrish, or why we need to compare Parrish and Ramirez? In the bullpen, they've got Sherrill, who's excellent; O'Flaherty, who is proving he belongs; and Rowland-Smith, who has been pretty impressive and looks like he belongs as well. Down on the farm, Cesar Jimenez is healthy and, if worst comes to worst, there's Jake Woods. Robert Rorbaugh is also pitching well at Tacoma. I guess I'm losing track of the roster here.

I've never seen the logic of using a roster spot on a LOOGY (Lefty One-Out GuY).

If we'd won the last 2 games, which we should've, we'd be within 1 game of the Angels, and 2 ahead of the Yankees..hate to say it but they can both pull away today...
