Although Ayala wasn't doing the job, one wonders whether Keppel is the answer, or part of it, for the Twins. Let's hope that he can get outs. Based on his statistics, it doesn't look as if he's going to get the big strikeout or keep people off base. He's also a pitcher who other teams have looked over and let go. In other posts, people have said that the Twins knew about their bullpen weakness and should have seriously addressed the problem in the off-season. The bullpen so far has cost the Twins too many ballgames.

Let's hope that the Twins can kick things off with a victory in Milwaukee.

Ayala is a sinkerball pitcher and they need lots of work to be successful. Twins were patient, but you can only do that so long.

Just goes to show you that you get what you pay for. If they would have actually got a proven relief pitcher ot two we may have another few wins, or even more.

How can you tell its summer? Because our Twins are dumping all the bargain basement, defective, damaged, factory outlet clunkers they picked up during the off-season and touted as designer brand winners in their press releases and ticket selling campaigns.

Get this, I heard that 3 weeks ago Ayala went into Gardy's office and said if he wasnt the 8th inning set up man that he wanted to be traded. First off youve come into the game 3 times in the 7th with a lead and gave it away so how can we trust you could keep one in the 8th Ayala? This goes to show you that this man is only in it for the money, he could care less how well his team plays as long as hes getting paid. What a joke!

Daily Horoscope for January 5

Scorpio

Let the past stay in the past for now. Even though you may have fond memories of intense experiences, the Virgo Moon sees to it that you have virtually no desire to go there again just yet. This is your opportunity to show others what you can do in a more civilised environment. Don't try to shout down someone who is rude enough to interrupt. As unlikely as it may seem, the softest voice has the biggest chance of being heard today.
