QUOTE (DBAHO @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 02:33 PM) Jose would have given up 8ER by now. KW needs to go after good young pitching come the off-season. Dont you be dissing the ageless wonder, Contreras would be throwing a perfect game right now ;p. We definitely need atleast 1 pitcher from outside the organization brought in next season.

Im sorry but if Vazquez is on this team next season Im not watching the games he starts. He frustrates the hell out of me and I cant stand him anymore, I dont care what he does in the future I never want to see him pitching again.

Good old Vazquez never lets you down. God I hate him.

I hate domes, hopefully the Rays get that new ballpark we have been hearing about.

after he swung at strike 2 I thought Wise had no chance but wow, I love WISE!!

We can only hope that this is Wise last game starting, he isnt a good defender I dont care if he is fast. If Ozzie wants to go that way Id prefer Jerry Owens who has real speed or even Brian Anderson because he can cover so much ground. KW is going to have to cut Wise to keep Ozzie from using him.

Yeah this is the one game the whole series I dont like our chances of winning. That being said hopefully Javy can keep us in the game so we have a chance to steal it.

just minimize the damage.

Javy going to need a big game with the way our offense looks so far, hopefully 2nd time through the lineup we dont look as pathetic.

did our offense not take the trip down?

Hopefully our pitchers can overpower this lackluster Tampa offense all series long. Now lets score some runs!

Obviously Cabrera knows this is a contract season for him and probably his last chance to cash in, but he is definitely a team player. He is seemingly more pumped than anyone when we hit big HR's and I think besides Ozzie he has fit in really well with the rest of the team. Not 2 mention when most of the team struggled late in the season he seemingly picked up his game offensively.

If Beckett is healthy I dont think we matchup well vs RedSox at all, we cant hit him or Dice K. Not 2 mention its not like Lester is a push over. Although, as long as we are alive to play in the ALCS im happy... whether it be redsox or angels.

There are 2 pitchers Id like to keep in eye on in AA in Harrel and Cassel. Anyways, AA is going to recieve a lot of talent next year with the core of our high A prospects coming up and possibly Danks/Beckham at some point.

I do think we matchup favorably vs the Rays. They have a poor offenses and all their starters are very beatable. Hell, while overall they have a solid bullpen nobody is what I'd call unhittable. Even their home park plays favorable to us, its more of a homer dome than the Twins park is. For some reason I have a feeling that Javy will have a pretty good game on Thursday, I cant say for sure how well our offense does though.

I was truly losing faith in this team, I still think this has been the most frustrating playoff team I have ever watched or will watch for atleast a long time.

Someone close to Al really needs to let him know how far he has fallen. The guy is clueless, he shouldnt be an owner anymore.

Yeah we should be fine, It's Vazquez, Buehrle, Floyd, Danks, Buehrle. If we get to the ALCS we can maybe push Vazquez to the back.

Whats the deal with Quentin?

Why make that kind of swing on the first pitch, AJ has tested my patience this season.... especially this last month.

Ive had about enough of Wise, I want Swisher back.

Great way to start off the game, lucky break for a double play and than strikeout Mauer. Now lets score 10 runs the first inning.

Longoria is ROY but I definitely love Alexi. The only 2 guys who have been consistent most of the season were him and CQ. Consistently good anyways......

I think we will see the same lineup that was out there tonight. I really hope we pound the hell out of blackburn, this is a game we should win.

I really am going to miss DJ, I hope he comes back when Hawk retires.
