Hey. We’re only one grand slam and another home run away from winning this.
Did we give up when the German bombed Pearl Harbor???
Actually, I meant we are only 5 home runs away from winning it. Because, you know, as soon as we get a couple of men on base and RISP, Danny Boy yells at the next batter to go out there and kill that rally.

If only Dan Wilson had put Buddy Kennedy in the lineup to compete with Ben Williamson, I know we woulda won.

I'm gonna get caught red-handed stealin' game threads one of these days and be zip-tied.
That may be more exciting than watching white bread (the M's) grow mold.
Rocky Colavito is a Hall of Famer in my book!

How is it that Rucker is able to pitch every day but the good relief pitchers rarely appear in consecutive games?

One run against pitching that isn't good enough to hold anyone to one run.

You can't even give the opposing pitchers credit because we're not hitting against ANYBODY.

Let's face it, Dan Wilson has lost this team. They're not even trying out there and have mailed in the season.

It’s blatantly obvious. And the front office will do nothing.

Dan's playing the guys Jerry gave him exactly as Jerry designed it.

How much of the blame do you guys put at Wilson's feet?

Hopefully ownership can realize these rosters are a Dipoto/Hollander problem because it won't matter what yes man Dipoto throws out there when they're still supposed to pinch hit Garver for Raley in the sixth.

This is on Dipoto. Nothing is done at any level without his permission. Hollander is a puppet. Dipoto makes all calls including on what Dan does.

So they removed the "platoon" tag from Canzone? I'm not following the lineups that closely these days. I didn't see it mentioned here but i thought i read theyve decided to quit platooning him. Dtrain gets his wish! :D

Of course they do it 3 months to late as per usual. Never even needed to flush $6M on Refsnyder..
