QUOTE(That funky motion @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 09:36 PM) This is a good role for Cotts! cotts then riske, and then a real pitcher if needed

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 09:34 PM) Wow, what a job by Redman. he really didn't allow a hard hit all night, just 5 singles. now he can stink it up sunday.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 09:28 PM) What's the chances? actually, redman looking really good tonight, 1 down

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 29, 2006 -> 09:07 PM) Dom't like the mood of this game, at all. i'd feel a lot better if i wasn't sure freddy would be back out to start the 7th

seriously, does freddy's performance really surprise anywone anymore. 5 runs 6 innings, thats about norm.

i'm going to take under also, and i'm cool with that. when he is not swinging for the fences he is actually a pretty decent hitter. he will get his share of homers naturally.

QUOTE(KFran @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 01:49 PM) Punto worked with Harmon before the season. This is the PUNTO that will be here, he is on earth! Tyner continues to amaze me, and he has got a heck of an arm. Just ask your guy sliding into home as he is being tagged! We like it when the media doesn't give us credit. When every one is against us, we do well! Go TWINS! Tyner may suck but he threw out one of YOUR boys sliding into home. How do you like them apples? People say stuff like that when they are worried. Are you worried? ok, i understand punto is hitting over .300, but i've seen him boot a number of routine plays in the last month or so and his career numbers leave no reason to think he'll be able to sustain this. also i don't see how working with kilebrew has anything to do with it. harmon was a high ob, low average power hitter, punto is the opposite. yes tyner did throw a runner out at the plate, you can thank joey cora for that. there is a reason he is their sixth outfielder. stewart is out, ford is there, and kubel would probably be in left if his knees didn't hurt. tyner will soon remember that. punto and tyner will not have this kind of season next year, and if the twins are hoping they do, i feel much better about our chances next year.

to be perfectly honest, and i'm not talking to anyone here specifically, but if you are only a sox fan cause they won the series, and are just going to bail if they don't win again this year... i didn't want you here anyway.

if they are going to do it, then do it now, don't screw around any longer. he would probably only get 5 or 6 starts (without doing the math) and i don't know how long they would want him to go in the first couple. it seems a little late to shake things up like that. it's something they probably should have done earlier. i can understand sticking with all the starters except freddy. i don't know if there was any reason to think he would magically find 4-6 mph on his fastball or learn to throw left handed if was just going to throw junk up there.

well at least McCarthy pitched well.

where has that been all year scottie

please, base hits here.

*sigh* too bad he can't make the routine ones

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:34 PM) Actually if you have read my posts for long enough I am the king of pull jinxes like that. i try to ignore most posts.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:30 PM) Wow. Very rarely does a guy hit a fair HR after a foul one, unless of course you are Torii Hunter... hehehehehe how much do you love being wrong

QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:27 PM) Twins fans throw the ball back too? yes, it is so stupid

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:23 PM) What are the chances Pods takes strike 3? i don't think the answer is remote

hmm, look, brian can catch the ball!

QUOTE(fullcollapse @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:08 PM) is it just me, or is aj a much better hitter with 2 strikes must be me

is it just me, or is aj a much better hitter with 2 strikes

cmon aj lets do it

QUOTE(My Dixie Normus @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 09:01 PM) Can a batter change sides in the middle of an AB? Is it only when a picher change is made? i believe a batter can change at any time

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 08:56 PM) I can't be the only one that feels like we're just being teased right here... am I? no, as optimistic as i try to stay, the gidp is in the back of my mind

how many times has uribe walked on 4 pitches?

QUOTE(stretchstretch @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 07:20 PM) Everyone knows about Mauer and Morneau, but Bartlett hitting 351 and Tyner 317, add Punto's 314 and that's five?? There's almost no sports media coverage of this lineup, just wondering why with these stats, seeing that we have only 2 regulars over 300 (AJ and Crede just under) and the sports media drools over our offense because they are punto, bartlett and tyner, and they play in minnesota. you never hear about cuddyer either, even though he is putting together a pretty good year. unless you are dominant like morneau, mauer, santana, or liriano you just don't get coverage. and joe nathan still doesn't get the credit he deserves. he is one of the best closers in the game, up there with rivera. also, jd is hitting 321, konerko 310, and thome is at 294 if you are going to count crede's 295
