Where Did I Leave That Fork?

Ah, yes, now I remember...I left that fork in the Minnesota Twins since I have officially declared them done. After inexcusably being swept by the division leading Tigers last week they are currently wrapping up a dismal 4 game stretch against the Angels and Blue Jays in which they have been outscored 33-7. I say currently because the hitting impaired bums are being hammered by the Jays 13-1 as I type this.

While their pathetic season can be blamed primarily on their lack of pop at the plate, I chose to aim a little bit of my ire at their completely inadequate pitching staff. To illustrate, here is Juan Rincon's line from today's game:

Innings Pitched: 0.0
Number of Pitches: 14
Hits: 3
Runs: 4
Earned Runs: 4
Walks: 1
Strikeouts: 0

And that's a fairly good outing from Juan since he's been off the juice. Regardless, I vow right now to never attend another game as long as Juan Rincon is wearing a Twins uniform. Unless it's dollar hot dog day, of course.

Thinking about it, however, that doesn't seem like a harsh enough penalty for this team being the suckiest bunch of sucks that ever sucked. Maybe what these guys deserve is a Major League style downgrade to their locker room facilities and equipment. Hmmm...I wonder if I know anyone who has the ability to make that happen?

The Elder Jabs His Fork In: Maybe it's the uniforms. Can you get them cotton? They're cooler, they're more comfortable...they're happier - they're gonna play better.

I missed the game last night, but tuned in to the post-game to catch Ron "Homer" Coomer talking about how Baker had just pitched a good game, but made a couple of mistakes by leaving the ball up. Not knowing the score, I wasn't sure if that meant the Twins had won or maybe lost a close one.

Then they flashed the final. Jays 7 Twins 0. Baker gave up four runs in seven innings. While that wasn't a terrible performance, it doesn't exactly fit my definition of pitching a "good game" especially when your team just got their clock cleaned.

Why must these announcers insist on treating us like children?
