Coffey is pitching much better now that he is back in the set up role. Can't quite figure out what he is doing in this particular game. Jerry apparently thinks the game is in reach. He has more confidence in the offense than I do right now. Hope he is right.

We must rally in the last 2 innings here. It is imperitive that they do so.
I would take Ortiz on a team any day (especially if he could field). The guy's attitude alone is a glue which holds that Sox team together quite nicely.
Liner to Royce. Three out.

boy do the twins feel like retards for letting ortiz go
I think MLB does it now, btu I don't think they have the gonads to crack down on the incompetence so pervasive throughout ML umps. It's not that hard to call balls and strikes. With the nature of umpiring, I think it's one of the few professions where a high turnover rate is a good thing. I think it would be good to see the bottom 10% let go every year.

If the "trade"'s done nothing else, it's helped me more greatly appreciate the bullpen that was here before: Weathers, Coffey, Mercker.

Why is Clayton hitting?

IIRC, before the Twins let him go, they tried to screw with his swing, plate discipline and just about his entire approach at the plate.
When Ortiz responded poorly to all that nonsense, they cut him loose.

Living here in Minnesota, I've met several Twins fans and the concensus is that Terry Ryan tried to turn him into a smallball player and when it didn't take he gave up on him (I've seriously heard that from multiple people). I'm not sure how true it is, but one guy even said that Ryan has since admitted it. But you're right, it's not something they don't think about. Ortiz in that lineup and they're a different team.

clayton yard wow
Who was that who was batting for Clayton? Because I am pretty sure Royce could not have done that:
He was too young. I think Wayne was trying to open up a roster spot to bring Hrbek back.
Um....Royce will be getting PED tested tonight. First HR since June 2005.
Clayton's going deep.
Ok..maybe not
