I'm sure the Star Tribune is countering with how can you lose to a team that starts three guys batting under .210, making $10 million per?
Harrelson was warming up the baseball karma gods by saying how good Minnesota is and that Ozzie never overlooks them.

And, he hit another one the opposite way yesterday. Sure, it was against KC. But, still. And Paulie also contributed nicely with the walkoff HR two nights ago. So...there. Besides, it is all about timeliness...and well, the ChiSox may not have nice numbers but they are timely when it is needed.

The Twins are all about timeliness. They've got terrible numbers but they lead the AL in AVG w/RISP.

sometimes. 
And as for your Twips, they're timely alright. Timely enough for the ChiSox to bury them deep under in the Central like what was done to the Indians recently.

Yup...Buerhle is what now, 21-11 all-time versus the Twips? 
Thank-you Minny for getting Mark his 3rd win of the season and lowering his ERA to 4.80.

@ Twips getting 
by the ChiSox again today...I think Chicago is on a tear since Ozzie's last rant...? He may be
to everyone else but there is a genius behind that motormouth of his.

We would've had Friday's too since Olsen pitched a gem but the bullpen has been off this month. Hopefully we win the series tonight.

The quote from Mike Imrem...
Ozzie Guillen's management style is sure to spread.
Like, maybe to George Bush:
"I'm sick and tired of these gas prices, and if Congress doesn't do something by Tuesday I'm going down to the corner station and rip the '4' off $4.29 myself."
If Guillen were Bush, by midweek we'd be paying less for gas than the Saudis.
Then maybe to Sam Zell:
"The state better buy Wrigley Field in 48 hours because if it doesn't I'm going to Springfield on Tuesday and turn Blago's rear end into an ATM."
If Guillen were Zell, taxpayers would be paying for Wrigley renovations by next winter.
Finally maybe to Tom Skilling:
"I'm giving Jerry Taft until Tuesday to cancel that tornado or I'll go out there myself and blow it back to Oklahoma."

He did something like that when he was with the Reds.
Got real hot for a few games and showed some potential, then we dumped him. Good logic guys
