Saw this out on the Lone Star Ball/SB Nation article. Thought I would copy it since you all were mentioning him the other day.

every time I see this it pisses me off
you’re not entitled to 100% positive comments when your ERA is 5 plus in AAA.

Fartolo Colon was added to NL all star roster. Jeez how old is that guy? I remember getting so mad when he would shut the Rangers down while playing for the A's at 40.

Are we are MLB Net tonight? Just wondering since we're not starting until 8 P.

FSSW 8:05 and don't know why

Not positive but I think it has to do with not conflicting with the game of the day.

This makes sense....thanks.

I forgot we had Kyle Lohse. Probably should have had him here sooner.

"I'm hopeful that Kyle Lohse can provide a "professional start," to borrow Jeff Banister's pointed phrase. Certainly, Lohse has the proper temperament and will throw plenty of strikes. He could give Texas six solid innings. That said, I'm not banking on it. Lohse's sinking fastball didn't have that much sink when I last saw him, and its 87-90 MPH velocity leaves no room for error in command. He's averaged a home run per 30.5 batters, well above average even in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League." - Scott Lucas

It helps that Lohse is facing the Twins and not the Red Sox / Astros/ Blue Jays. I didn't even care that the Astros won last night. I was just glad to see this team win. These guys are limping to the break. I'm just crossing my fingers that they don't lose anymore ground.

I am hoping we can still say that after tonight. But we had to try something different.

Now that is the right way to look at it.

Exactly......we know what we had in Martinez/Gonzalez so it's time to see what else is in the cupboard IMO; yours too apparently. ha ha

 

[Nightcrawler]

I'm no expert on Lohse, but I think he throws a lot of strikes. Walks shouldn't be a problem tonight, but home runs is another story.

I hope, Mitch and Prince both in the line up, brings delight and not disaster. Whoa unto me. haha

Wow.....such optimism. ha ha

 

[Bmurph]

I hope Im dead wrong about Lohse, or maybe since its the Twins he might have minimal success, but I don't think he's long for the big leagues anymore

Not really, he's been pretty bad even in AAA

Can't be worse than Lu jax or chi chi. I think he will at least eat innings and not tax the bullpen.

 

[Nightcrawler]

A's do Rangers a big favor by beating the Astros 3-2. If Lohse shits the bed and we get rocked it doesn't matter too much. Won't hurt us.
