Game 112 Open Thread- Twins (57-55) at Royals (49-62): Yangtze River Dolphin Memorial Edition

http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20070808/sc_livescience/dolphinspeciesgoesextinctduetohumans

They're all swimming with Anna Nicole and Barbaro and Gerald Ford in the polluted rivers of heaven now.

Both were power hitters who struck out a lot and that were essentially given up by two or more teams.  Not saying Wily's going to have the same sort of turnaround as Carlos, but it seems like the Royals can't really afford to turn their nose up at potential sluggers, considering the rather sorry state of our offense.

hopefully the good odie shows up tonight. it sure would be sweet to beat johan santana with odalis freakin perez.

hopefully we can score off of johan...

why cant we see if gator can hit lefties, instead of just assuming he cant.

WHY!?!?!?

i'm going to list the names of starters i believe odie to be superior to.

Mac Suzuki
Blake Stein
Chad Durbin
Jay Witasick
Brian Meadows
Dan Reichert
Kris Wilson
Chris George
Miguel Asencio
Darrell May
Shawn Sedlacek
Runelvys Hernandez
Kyle Snyder
Paul Abbott
Brian Anderson
Jeremy Affeldt
Mike Wood
Denny Bautista
Dennys Reyes
Eduardo Villacis
Jimmy Serrano
D.J. Carrasco
J.P. Howell
Ryan Jensen
Mark Redman
Scott Elarton
Bobby Keppel
Joe Mays
Adam Bernero
Seth Etherton
Jorge De La Rosa (So far)
Zack Greinke (So far - as a starter)
Jimmy Gobble (So far - as a starter)

i wonder who will sign him this offseason. i can almost gurantee someone will sign him to be a #5 starter, likely a NL team.

please tell me that when jdlr comes back, that odie will be bounced instead of a young pitcher like davies.

odalis. perez. sucks.

that being said, odie is getting shelled

im glad football season is starting. we wont be too hot this year, but i am imagining an 8-8 record and i will take that developing brodie and bowe and the like.

Aren't there some good Perezes we could have? Our last two, Neifi and Odalis, have been killers. Neifi is a featherweight hophead and Odie is a punch-drunk , out of shape heavyweight. Surely there are better Perezes out there.

he's goooooood

santana isn't much tonight

our system has no pitchers, picked by allard, that can start in the majors (that includes our current 40-man roster).

our system has no hitters, picked by allard, that can hit for power, period.  

all of this during the steroid era mind you.

it is actually an amazing feat.  its like missing every single question on the SATs and misspelling your name, even though you have a cheat sheet and the Who Wants to be a Millionaire Phone-a-Friend option.

At any rate, she likes dolphins, and I took her to SeaWorld this year, and she got to do the hour long get-in-the-water with the dolphin experience. She always loved animals. Now she has found her lifes mission.

The point of this, unfortunately, is that I must now miss most of the game while I make my daughter feel better about global warming and animal habitat infringement caused by humans.
And I just got off work.

i hate odalis perez.

i'm getting that feeling tonight.

i think they'd rather go into the clubhouse and play with dolls tonight.

games like this make me sick.  dick howser is spinning in his grave right now.

Sorry, completely off topic.
