I did a little research and found that it was directed at none other than Evan Grant...
They had a bit of a twitter tiff that night.

Newburg loses my interest sometimes...check that, a lot of times. I can't read him anymore. What did he say?
Playoff rotation?
CJ
Ogando
Harrison
Colby
Or is Harrison and Colby switched?

Well even though CJ had been bad lately I think we still would have to keep him at number one, I guess. Harrison has been solid and I think I would keep him right there. I think that looks good. If CJ doesnt start picking it up he might move down.

Actually I forgot CJs last start was really good. But before that he was shaky for awhile.

Yeah, he'd had 3 consecutive sub-par starts...did the same thing last year before solidifying the #2 spot down the stretch. I expect the same in the next 6 weeks. I agree with keeping CJ #1 even if he doesn't have the best stats. All three of those guys are dominating when they're on. CJ thrives in that #1 role. He loves the challenge and I love guys that live for those moments. He outdueled Weaver in Anaheim a few weeks ago in a loss...that's the AL Cy Young winner right there and he outdueled him for 9 innings. That's the best stuff he's had all year and if Endy knew how to catch he wouldn't have gotten the loss.

Yea I think when it is all said and done I would feel comfortable with him leading it off in the playoffs. I'd like to see some more consistency from the Cobra too as we finish off the year.

We need to get there before we start talking about playoff rotations.

I am excited about this AL West race. It seems like last year I lost interest in the regular season with about 3 weeks left until the playoffs. They had it pretty much wrapped up so I think football took over until the playoffs. It looks like this year I won't have that problem. Sports will be extra great in September.

I'm 2-0 now. Good game last night. Got the same great seats I 'stumbled' into back in April.

2.5 behind the Yanks and 2 behind the Sox. Best record in the AL and HFA are in reach.

At this point we are guaranteed HFA in the first round. It would be nice to stretch it to the ALCS.

A 7 game lead is real nice. Good to see Kinsler being somewhat productive at the plate when we need someone to step up. We still have 7 games with the Angels, and 7 with the Red Sox, so we're not guaranteed anything yet. I think if we can at least go 7-7 in those 14 games and play better than .500 ball in the rest, we'll be alright.
