OK. If you gotta send Gomez down for taking embarrassing at bats, you better find room for some company: 6 or 7 of them after tonight.

I sure hope I ain’t gonna hear a bunch of crap from Gardenhire about what a brilliant pitcher Gaudin is.

he has one of the best arms out there

To play Devil’s Advocate: Gomez’s arm is currently like a bazooka without a crosshair. A LOT of bang, but absolutely no means of ensuring it gets where you’re pointing.

Whoops, jimmy bee. I bet you meant to post that as Ric Flair.

jp, i agree with you, this has been a radical shift of philosophy and i really enjoy it. for so long we protected every single one of our pitchers, and did a poor job of drafting high impact bats. think of who we could’ve gotten at the trade deadline if we would’ve dealt a garza-type to a team looking to offload. i know we went after blalock and soriano…with the bill smith mentality, we might’ve snagged a guy like that. paying him, now that’s a totally different issue. vavra does need to perform though, no question about that…

Gardy wants to get Span into a game. Monroe has to play tonight after his
3-4 and Oakland has a lefty going tomorrow. I see Monroe D-H’ing tonight and Thursday and Span in CF tonight and leading off to give Gomez a night off to clear his head.

Rainville,(L, 1-2) 3.2 13 10 10 0 1 2

Jay Rainville’s pitching line last night at New Britain.

What manager leaves a 22-yr-old kid in the game to take a beating like that?
Was Rainville trying to date his daughter?
