Very nice Beckham!! Great to get a run back.

Awful, awful AB by Castro. Please end the personal catcher BS Ozzie! Our offense isn't good enough to put us at a disadvantage.

Looks like Alexei knew what he was doing! Time to get some runs off of this bum.

Twins have hit so many balls hard this series. Young/Mauer/Hardy seem to hit rockets every AB.

Badger, it seems we scout the Twins worse than anyone, and they scout us better than anyone.

Garcia leaving a ton of breaking balls up in the zone. Delmon still kicks Garcia's ass after the HBP in his first AB.

ASB wasn't too kind to our offensive rhythm, it seems.

Nicely done by Garcia.

That's just nasty by Mauer.

J4L, I'm still not sold Rios is 100% healthy. He got all of those days off prior to the ASB (for reasons that were never explained)

Well, Stone jinxed the hell out of Rios in that AB. Rios needs a break, as he doesn't look very good at the plate. He's slow to turn on fastballs on the inner half.

Great bunt by Omar there!

You think the Cardinals are happy to win the first 3 games of their series? Check out their lineup today! The NL is so pathetic.

Wait, Werth wouldn't be an offensive upgrade from Jones and Kotsay? Why is it that the trade deadline always brings the most unrealistic views of Sox players?

Werth is going to get a huge contract this offseason. No thanks!

I'm sure you'd come up with a great nickname for him.

How did Jhonny hit a 3 run inside-the-park homer?

Really could do without the Castro personal catcher nonsense, as AJP is 12-29 in his career against Blackburn. With Castro being so good traditionally against LHP, it really diminishes his value.

Tigers lose both!

Anyone else following the Pirates inability to hit a home run with men on base? Longest streak in 25 years I believe, as it's something like 1,300 ABs without one.

Greg and Balta, I third the notion that the cut PK after the season line was silly.

chw, that wrist was clearly bothering him. Probably will for another 3 days or so.

Indians need to win one for Lou Brown!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 02:08 AM) He had to know they weren't going to give him good pitches to hit right off the bat, he needed to be more patient than that. 2 of those were terrible pitches. The hitters just were not focused tonight. At least we get to see Therapist tomorrow.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 01:06 AM) Post of the decade. Yep, how dare we be upset that someone struck out on 3 pitches, and in horrible fashion, with a man on 3rd and one out!!
