Twins lose, and have to face Lee/Wilson to finish off series.

Peavy jerseys, even though you see just as many Pods jerseys at the park still as anyone else.

Way to go Alexei!

Frank Thomas told Hawk it wasn't his favorite new catchphrase. If Yaz and Catfish agree with Hawk, then we are really screwed.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 03:12 AM) So just wondering....since most seem to speak in absolutes around here (as long as its negative of course), what happens when Alexei gets the bunt down and then Teahen hits a double? Or does that only work the other way around where anytime a sac bunt is called the hitter would 100% have gotten a base hit? You're right, you and greg and others NEVER speak in absolutes. Bunting with a runner on first, no outs just is not working at all. I cannot believe there is anyone still trying to argue otherwise.

BECKHAM!!!!! Holy cow

Damn, Beckham with a great swing/approach on the first pitch.

Rangers lead

Very nice Teahen!!

Well, basically gave away that out by putting him in a hole.

Ozzieball rules!

Wow, we'll take it! That's all for Gavin, he really battled.

Rangers/Twins tied after top of 7th!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 02:57 AM) w/thor down, he's probably waiting as long as possible. s***, i bet he doesn't even have anyone up. After yesterday's off day, no more excuses about not using the bullpen. You can only blame Joe West for so much.

Time to get Gavin out of the game!! This should be Sale here.

2 runs in 6 innings, with the runs coming due to cheap hits, against a pitcher with nothing. At least maybe we can win on a walk-off for a nice change of pace.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 02:49 AM) Hmmm...looks like we're going to have to either win this game or really hope promoting the Yankees and Manny Ramirez can draw the crowds and not our being 5.5-6.5 GB in the standings. There will be good crowds for the Yanks/Red Sox series.

I'm looking forward to the next time Rios gets on top of a high fastball. You have to wonder just how bad his wrist injury is.

Ron Washington must be on drugs, as he's leaving Colby Lewis out on the mound to die.

Twins tied it, and look to take the lead. Casilla seems to get so many big hits for that team.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 01:41 AM) At buckweaver earlier when he said he doesn't Manny for the roids...I'm pretty sure docsox has said that there were 2 roiders on the 05 team, but he won't say them or we'll be in sports illustrated. Also, the Manny mania would pay for his salary and then some from the tickets, jersey sales, etc. I still see some Griffey shirts being bought. Hard to compare how the Manny-mania would be, as the Griffey playing time came when fans still cared cause we were in the heart of the pennant race. I believe we need to be no worse than 4 games out when we acquire Manny for it to have any substantial impact on our attendance.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 01:41 AM) What did Omar do? Just missed one....1/30 of an inch away from a bomb

This team comes up with new ways to lose now. Beckham, for his quality baseball instincts, makes way too many outs on the bases.

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 01:39 AM) Wow god does hate us. How many times are we going to see that this season. Hard to complain about line drive outs after we have 4 or 5 cheap hits tonight. Wow Beckham, wow!

Will we ever get a hit with RISP again?
