A.L. Central Smack Talk 2014

Verlander would win 45 of his 46 starts.

All because he has more heart

I for one, wanted Aoki's head in August, will say he pulled it out in sept....and really Moose raised his average almost 40 points...of course while Sal and Butler dropped but Aoki was definitely worth Wil Smith.

Congrats to the AL Central champ Tigers for now. I am hoping to revise that by late October... hoping anyway.

Its Baltimore. I highly doubt they will go JV. I think it will be Scherzer on Thursday then probably JV just so Price rests a little more. Then again Friday is 4 days rest so.

Yeah, my hunch is the same. Scherzer for sure Thursday, and JV on Friday -- mostly because JV will have had a ton of rest and Price threw 112 pitches yesterday. But my preference would be Price on Friday and JV pitching Game 3 at home.

Definitely rooting for KC to take both the WC play-in, then knock off the Angels. Of course, the Tigers to take care of Baltimore, setting up a KC-DET ALCS.

GARDY IS GONE!

GARDY IS GONE!

Happy folk in Twin Cities and San Antonio of course.

 

[broncosmitty]

Guess he should have got more out of Nolasco, May, Millone, Duensing and Gibson?

 

[Nosferatu]

Happy doesn't even begin to describe it! He should have been fired years ago! Let's hope Terry is able to find someone who knows what he's doing to replace him...

It's not just about this year...

That would be nice.

But it's always to nice to see the As coming up on the playoff schedule. Hopefully KC can take advantage of them this year instead of us.

Should be a rowdy Kaufman crowd tommorrow.

lol exactly.

Rick is gone next.

He shoulda went first, from my angle.

Lots and lots of young positional talent up there. But you can't assemble a pitching staff like that and expect better results.

Who's the leading candidate? Or the candidate you want to take over?

 

[Nosferatu]

I could see them asking Molitor

Congrats to the World Series champ Tigers for now. I am hoping to revise that by late October... hoping anyway.

I can only hope that is the revised version.

I think the reason Ron went first is because it's mostly his staff. His firing basically means the rest will go...except Molitor I'd believe.

Haven't heard anything about candidates yet but I would definitely be ok with seeing what Paul Molitor has got as a manager.

Otherwise I say a Hispanic manager could be good(idk if that means you Ozzie) because most of our top talent(Berrios, Santana, Vargas, Arcia etc..) all speak Spanish and Vargas is the only one I've seen that can even assemble an English sentence.

Marny Gellner(Twins side line reporter) thought it was a brilliant idea to interview Danny Santana without a translator last week following our last home win.....MOST. AWKWARD. THING. EVER.

Twins pitcher Ricky Nolasco tweets he would rather be with Dodgers | HardballTalk

I'm sure Twins fans feel the same way.

GARDY IS GONE!

I always thought Gardenhire was a good manager. The downfall of the Twins was the huge contract they gave to Mauer and, at the time, Morneau. It is unfortunate that a team, like the Twins, who were so dominate in the AL Central for the better part of a decade -- Have had such struggles recently.

Gardenhire takes the fall, but he hasn't had much to play with in a while. Hope Minnesota finds a good manager. They have some nice young pieces waiting in the wings.

No it was all gardy and rick Anderson. You don't watch the team every single game and know how badly he mismanages. Throws guys under the bus, favors utility crap like himself. It's why every player has success away from here. Span wasted no time saying that while celebrating with the Nats.

I'm sick of the contract thing. We could go out and sign Scherzer and shields right now. Mauers contract means nothing even piece of shit nolascos 49 mil is fine. Our team salary is in the 70 mils we have owners who can afford a salary solidly over 100.

Mauers contract lol. It sucks, but it isn't holding us back.
