Well, playing .500 ball on the road is the big question. They're a pretty different team away from home, but they've been more or less taking care of business lately.

GODDAMMIT, BOOF!

We managed to foist Ponson on the Yankees. Think they'd be interested in Bonser? Jesus. He may as well have thrown that underhanded.

And Chris, don't even get me started on the Orioles. They've quit. I just hope they bend over and present from the rear for the Twins like they have for everyone else the past 2 weeks.

Shouldn't this be in the anal porn thread?

The Twins are going to need fat guys like Bonser, as well as Canadians and Minnesota natives when they move into their outdoor stadium in 2 years and have to play in the chilly spring/autumn nights.

I wasn't trying to say that it's not a shared phenomenon. Wrigley's 90 years old and the Cell was a disaster of a new construction, but it's ridiculous to spend oodles of caboodles on a new park and not spend the extra 1/20 to put up a retractable roof.

Are you really registering surprise? Rich Harden is a chandelier. Compared to him, Ben Sheets is the Great Pyramid.

It sounds like Zambrano has the same "dead arm" symptoms that affected him when he was e-mailing his brother for four hours a day a few years ago.

"E-mailing his brother for four hours a day" is a great euphemism for maturbation.

For Their Pleasure

Harden and Zambrano are both hurt? Really evasive comments by Sweet Lou after the game last night. Typical Cubs "guys are actually hurt" disinfo answers. Harden's status went from "We're just resting him because he gets hurt a lot and we want to avoid it" to "if he could pitch, we would have left him in the roatation" in 24 hours...Fuck. Hoping the Z thing is just some stupid Z thing...Fuck.

Not even remotely, but thanks for the Reubenesque response.

Oh, yuck, September. My most hated of all embers.
