It takes a Herculean belief in the ghost of Rondell White to think the Twins offense will be anything but ass - and I'm the biggest believer in Mauer and Morneau you'll ever meet.

True that. Even last year the pale hose and twinkies had many 3-2 or 2-1 battles. I forget that they have seemed to tap most of their young hitting talent from the well already and can't replace the people they used to be able to on a yearly basis.

Yeah - I'm not too confident in the White Sox offense either, but barring major steps from Kubel and Morneau (and Kubel prob won't even get playing time, b/c the Twins are retarded) they've really only stepped forward at 2B. Granted, replacement level is a step up at SS and 2B, but still - not confidence-inspiring.

Tavarez is a punk. Surprise surprise. Boston picked up another classless punk to their team

Yeah that open handed slap was pretty sweet. Maybe they picked him up solely for that reason in case there is ever a brawl with the yankees this season. Him and A-Rod would have a good match but I still think a-rod would win it if he could throw the slap like he did in the 04 playoffs trying to knock the ball out of the 1st basemans glove.

It was actually out of Arroyo's glove.

Dude, they have Bartolo Colon. Wasn't he the best pitcher in the AL last year?

Oh wait, he wasn't. More proof that 90% of the baseball writers have no idea what they're talking about.

Also, anyone catch PTI last night, when Michael Wilbon advocated vigilante justice to get back at Tavarez? It was absolutely hilarious, he was getting all pumped up about it.

Go Dodgers!!!!!!!!!

That is all.

Yeah, like Lackey (for instance) is going to put up those kind of numbers again this year. Maybe what they are trying to get at is that they have Esteban Yan back again and that alone can hold off the A's.

boston.com has it frame by frame right now. Still nowhere near as awesome as Tek shoving is glove in A-Rod's face.
