Still Waiting

You may have heard that the Reds finally traded Joe Randa this weekend.
To the Padres.
For next to nothing.
So while the Twins lost three of five to Detroit, they did nothing to help their still feeble offense.
Meanwhile, Kyle Lohse stunk in Sunday's start, a day after Scott Baker (pictured) looked terrific in his second M.L. start. Baker also looked great in his first big league start, losing 2-1.
It couldn't be more apparent that Lohse or Mays (preferrably Lohse) are expendable. Baker is ready.
The Strib appears to be predicting a Lohse and or Romero for Bill Mueller and Kevin Millar deal with Boston.
Wowee, hooray, hooray.
It's gonna take more than that.
I still say the best, and at this point damn near the only option, is Mike Sweeney.
If they could get Alfonso Soriano, great. I don't see that happening.
*Big day for Morneau on Saturday. Is he coming around, or was it a fluke?
*Man, is Lew Ford bad right now.
*The Shannon Stewart in the 3-hole experiment is over. It was a good idea on Gardy's part, but no one else is capable of leading off, and Stewart didn't do much batting 3rd.
*The clock is ticking on Bret Boone. Hurry up and figure it out Booney. Right now you're doing no better (and possibly worse) than Luis Rivas.
