[MOPAR FANATIC]

  well the minnesota twins got bad news today,our top closing pitcher may be out for the year if he ends up needing tommy john surgery for his elbow.thats all the twins needed this season.may put them down a notch now for the division title again this year.

...Then there is always Brett Favre that doesn't know what he will do with his life.   

Sorry about your closer, but I'm probably the only Pirates fan left. They don't need a closer since they never have the lead.

Oh no your not, I've been a Buco fan even before I claimed the Steelers back in 1969-1970 season    My oldest son who lives up near Toledo travels to Columbus each weekend to play in an inner city league, why? Because he plays on the Pirates team of course. For a few years he and a buddy of his traveled and stayed on an old school bus they bought and fixed up and it was painted with Pirate logos and colors. I remeber distinctly driving over to Pittsburg to watch the Pirates play at least once a month. Can you beleive field box seats for $5.00 a piece,..............now that goes back a few years.  But they sure have sucked the last few (many  ) years, seems like no money, they "sell" their good players.

go vikings

p/s how did we get off track about the mn twins? 

[ksierens]

Well I feel bad for him, but I won't miss seeing him huffing and puffing and motor-boating his lips on the mound against us.

[MOPAR FANATIC]

know what you mean kurt.he's 30-for-30 against the tigers in save opportunities.career era of 0.85 against the royals.leads all closers with 246 saves since 2004.man it's going to hurt us this year if he is done for the season. 

[JimSC]

I'm hoping Rauch will step it up, or maybe even Neshek if he's recovered 98-100%. Pat will be nice to have back.

[MOPAR FANATIC]

Hate to lose him for the season,these are the possible
replacements for him if the twins choose to look other than their bullpen.

kerry wood,indians

jason frasor,blue jays

braden looper,free agent

brad ziegler,athletics
