QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 02:57 AM) Nice job Paulie. He was way too busy trying to hit the ball the opposite way there. Wasn't taking his usual good swings on the inside fastball.

Damn...of course. Konerko continues to just kill us in these games at Minnesota.

Oh boy, they have Konerko set up for the offspeed pitch.

LOOK FOR THE FASTBALL KONERKO!

How the hell did Hudson catch that?

JUAN!

If they try to turn two here, Gordon might knock someone into LF.

Dang, that 0-1 was in Beckham's wheelhouse.

ALEXEI! Go f*** yourself Delmon

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 02:42 AM) I think that pitch to Hardy from Santos was intentional. You're right, in a one run game with season on the line, you're throwing at someone with a runner on 3rd base.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 02:40 AM) Except it wasn't. You don't know that, just like those thinking it was a a good trade for the Sox don't know that. My main belief is they can probably put up similar numbers next season, and we need that 8 million dollars to upgrade other spots.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 02:40 AM) What the hell is that!??!? He didn't even try to touch home plate!! How is he not ejected???? If we don't throw at him sometime this series, then Ozzie is a bigger coward than we think.

Oh Delmon, you f***ing piece of s***.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 03:32 AM) No matter what happens in the next few days, the Sox gave me a better season than I thought wed get. Yes and no...there were definitely some great memories from the incredible run. However, there's been enough bad happen that people need to be held accountable. We're not exactly a team built for the next few seasons with the likely departure of Danks, Konerko being 50/50, Peavy's difficult rehab, and a bullpen with only 2 guys you can project (Santos/Thornton)

And for those that think the season is over and want to see the Sox building for next season...Daniel Hudson has 8 strike outs thru 3 innings. At least my son was born healthy, or else I would say the last month has really sucked!!

I'm STUNNED that a Twins pitcher threw a 3-2 offspeed pitch. They've been consistently doing that for a decade, and our hitters have not realized that. We're going down without a fight now.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 03:21 AM) For a #3 hitter in the AL he's been pretty mediocre since about mid July, For as good as he was the first 3 months or so, he's been that bad since. Hard hit balls are very uncommon for him now after hitting rockets all over the park to start the season.

Ugh, the Hudson trade makes me sick. 6 strike outs in 2.1 innings already tonight. Jackson's been stellar, but I'm still not convinced he's a big upgrade with regards to next year's rotation.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 03:15 AM) or maybe an infield pop up? One of the longest balls he's hit in a few weeks.

Mark Kotsay should never be allowed to face a LHP. Too bad he was given a chance in one of the biggest ABs of the season. Gardenhire OWNED Ozzie in that inning...nothing new

With Kotsay being in the DH position, it really makes no f***ing sense for him to bat with the bases loaded before. Even if you use Jones there, you still have Teahen to face the mostly righty Twins bullpen. I can't wait to see Kotsay getting ABs over Logan Morrison for the Marlins in 2 seasons.

f***, Sox should be up 2-3 runs right now. Just another typical suckfest at Minnesota.

Jeez, our 8-9 in the lineup couldn't suck worse tonight.

AJP doing a better job of getting the bat head out in front tonight. Alexei with just a pathetic night at the plate, as he showed no effort to get the runner over.

QUOTE (La Marr Hoyt HOF @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 02:52 AM) Completely agree ... it's jaw-dropping Honestly, it doesn't matter if Kotsay was 10-10 with 10 home runs in the game coming into that AB. He literally is worthless vs LHP this season.
