Juan Morillo

Ok, this had to get its own post.

Now, the simple fact is that you could pull ANY Twins reliever out and show their stats and it would look like a baby without a diaper, but this one stands above the rest. And that's really saying something, because guys like Jesse Crain don't know how to wipe properly, let alone throw strikes.

In today's baseball game against the Red Sox:

Juan Morillo entered the game in the 7th inning. He threw 17 pitches.

SOMEHOW, HE WALKED THREE BATTERS AND GAVE UP A HIT.

He was pulled with the bases sauced. That means he got zero outs.

Every one of his runners scored. 4 Earned Runs.

17 pitches, 4 earned runs. No outs. You know what that means? Potsy does. It means an ERA of "infinity". It means that if you aggregate out his numbers, and he were to pitch a full nine innings, he would give up runs.



That is all.

A quick look at that Dallas Mavericks coaching staff

Wow. It reads like a list of strike out NBA coaches:

Rick Carlisle - Not bad, I guess, but he's been fired twice by winning teams, so something ain't right.

Terry Stotts - The man coached both Atlanta AND Milwaukee. Hey who's used to losing?

Dwane Casey - No words needed. He likes failure as much as most people like breathing.
