Also, Smith was talking about Mulvey's "role" being as a "long reliever" ... do we really need three of those? I mean, isn't that basically an admission that the rotation is unbelievably bad and ALSO completely punting on the bullpen?

12 pitchers is too many already, but there's no number of pitchers which makes 3 long relievers acceptable.

I'm aware that Morales was sent down, that is why Redmond needs to go on the DL. Not pull the crap where he is banged up, but not enough to go on the DL.

How bad will Smith look if Mulvey blows? That means three of the four players from the Santana trade are fringe major leaguers at best. Not good, Billy.

I hear you about Morales, but that’s not possible anyway now. The Twins sent Morales down again yesterday and called up the great Kevin Mulvey to provide another bullpen arm. Yet again, the Twins pass over Slama and Delaney, and also send their second best catcher down for the fifteenth time this season. Unbelievable.

Rosenthal used to be good. I think he jumped the shark not when he railed on some random blogger for speculating about a player, but when THE VERY NEXT THING HE DID was speculate about Halladay, finishing his first report with "when this kind of talk starts, it doesn't stop until he's traded." It must be easy to break news when you fucking create it yourself, eh Rosenthal? I hope Halladay isn't traded, just to stick it to that arrogant fuckface. Yeah, I went there.

Oh, and I really, really hate Jeannie Zelasko. The Saturday afternoon pregame show should be something worth watching (since they refused to actually show a baseball game). But Zelasko ruins it with her domineering nostrils and bug-eyes and shrill voice and complete lack of knowledge or talent.

He is pretty bad. Foxsports doesn't have too many good employees. Lets run down the list, shall we?

Joe Buck, Tim McCarver, Jayson Whitlock, Ken Rosenthal (who is normally good, but his anti-blogger rant was really out of line), Chris Rose (formerly of best damn sports show, which has been cancelled, best damn indeed), Jeannie Zelasko, Eric Karros, they employ Eric Byrnes when he isn't playing poorly for his massive paycheck. That is an impressively bad group.

My unequivocal favorite part of the All Star game this year was Tim McCarver complaining that it wasn't long enough. Are you kidding me? That's exactly how long a baseball game is SUPPOSED to be. What a worthless excuse for a commentator. "You know what would make this game better? More commercials and downtime. You guys like boring, right?"

Also, go American League.
