In praise of a good bullpen appearance

Bobby Keppel threw this tonight against KC. Well done, sir. You will have nights where you get written about otherwise on this blog, no worries as you are human. Keep it up. If you can be the bridge to Joey NayNay, you will get paid.

I didn't get a chance to watch the 6/27 game, but those numbers looked OK, too.

Mama Mia!

Last night, the Dodgers beat up the White Sox. This is good news even to Twins fans, so how does the big Piasano celebrate? With world famous Farmer John Dodger Dogs!

One step forward...

They fired Crain because he couldn't get hitters out anymore.

GOOD MOVE

Today, in the 7th inning, nursing a one run lead, they turned to Sean Henn.

BAD MOVE

One step forward, one back. The failing goes on, almost unimpeded.

Rhymes with "Messy Drain is Barbage"

So long, Jesse. I hope you go to the minor leagues and never throw another pitch for the Minnesota Twins professional team ever again.

Messy Crain

Hey Jesse! Hey, alright! Way to be, Jesse!

When you are inserted in the 9th inning of a tie game, at least try to get two outs before you load up the bases and give up the walk off hit.

JESSE CRAIN SUCKS

MILTON BRADLEY

CROSS POSTED ON TWO BLOGS BECAUSE MILTON BRADLEY IS SUCH A FAILURE.

John Gordon and Dan Gladden simply don't know what to say. Milton Bradley has confused everyone with his life-failing.

EDIT:

FUBB

Sean Henn is inserted into the game in the 9th inning.

He throws the ball with his left hand. Jason Giambi hits with his left hand. Henn's job is simple... get Giambi out.

So what does he do?

FOUR
PITCH
WALK.

And then he's relieved by Matt Guerrier. You can pretty much guess the rest.

How's that, Benny?

A brief recap of boys the Twins have drafted thus far:

Kyle Gibson, RHP, Univ. of Missouri
Matt Bashore, LHP, Indiana

Ok, those are two average names. Then:

Billy Bullock, RHP, Florida
Benjamin Tootle, RHP, Jacksonville State

ROOTIN TOOTIN HOWDY HO, BOYS!!!!!!!!!!

Mike

Michael Cuddyer is... well he's really just sucking ass right now.

I wish there was a better way to say that. But he faced off against Craig Breslow tonight and hit into a double play to end the 8th.

Craig Breslow is a guy who was RELEASED BY THE MINNESOTA TWINS.

When the Minnesota Twins release a reliever, they are sending a message. That message is "Hey Craig. You must be the worst reliever in the entire universe. Because the 3rd worst reliever in the entire universe is Jesse Crain. And the second worst reliever in the entire universe is Matt Guerrier. And we're sticking with them. So, as such, you must simply be the worst piece of garbage ever. Ever."

And that's the guy who gets Cuddy to bounce into the DP. Greeeeeeeeeeeeat.

I think we give this one a FUBB, because the loss goes to Ayala. And that "loss" going to Ayala doesn't just mean this game. It means in his life.

FUBB

I'd like to thank Mr. Sean Henn, he of the "couldn't quite hack it out of the New York Yankee bullpen, which means he couldn't hack it bagging groceries at Red Owl" ilk, for giving up the game winning hit to Ken Griffey Jr. tonight. Because Ken Griffey Jr. is hitting .221 this season, and stopped being a power threat in 2001.

Old Grey Beard

Ken Griffey hit for Franklin Gutierrez.

Griffey fouled out to catcher.
