So I'm sitting around today, pissed off at Mike Lamb.
It got me to think the Twins are hexed at third base.
Sure, there was Gary Gaetti, but this is 2008, that was 1987.
Last fall, the Twins tried to tell us that Tony Batista can hit bombs. Not only did Batista not hit bombs, but he also sported a fruity twisted-trunk batting stance. Low batting average. Low cool points.
So then the Twins said at least our third baseman can play defense, here's Nick Punto. Six hundred head first slides into first base and the Twins made another change at third base.
Enter Mike Lamb. "Proven hitter. Just hasn't gotten a chance." No, Lamb sucks too and now we have another third baseman with a gay stance.
Think of the shitty third baseman we've put up with. Punto, Batista, Lamb, Denny Hocking, Terry Tiffee, Mike Pagliarulo, Ron "Coom Dog" Coomer, Dave Hollins, Scott Leius. Oh, and don't forget the Twins drafted Matt Moses as the next great Twins third baseman but when he couldn't fill his spikes in AAA Rochester he was sent down to AA New Britian.
Today against the lowly Natty Lights, the always-feared Matt Macri is starting at third base.
Do we really have to long for the days of Corey Koskie? Shit.
