QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 03:08 AM) big inning for Floyd here Floyd's throwing batting practice right now. Twins are hitting a lot of balls hard as Floyd continues to miss the spot with his fastball.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 03:06 AM) Who would you rather see in a White Sox uniform right now... Albert or Mauer? Neither, both guys only play one position, which means they bring no versatility to the Sox. I'd rather have Felipe Lopez, who can play a few infield positions.

One of the most common themes of Sox failures at Minnesota over the last 10 years or so is that even if a Twins starting pitcher struggles, the Twins long reliever always comes in and shuts the door on the Sox while the Twins get chance after chance to get back into the game.

Jeez Andruw, get the piano off your back.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 02:56 AM) That was Mauer's first damn shot in Target Field too. Gavin's looked awful in these last two games vs the Twins. His fastball seems down a good 2-3 mph.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 02:55 AM) i hate that guy Just walk him every time...hitting almost .700 against RHP now over last 16 games

Gosh, he's amazing. Hate seeing a first pitch fastball to him though in a situation where he's swinging for the fences.

On a hit-and-run, you don't run until pitch it thrown. Also, you don't do a hit-and-run with 2 strikes.

Nice play Gordon!

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 02:48 AM) why was AJ stealing? 2 outs and 2 strikes is almost a guaranteed steal attempt under Ozzie.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 02:47 AM) Glad the run scored but why did AJ swing at that? I'm calling for another Andruw bomb right here. He saw like 6 straight fastballs. Just be thankful he made any contact at all on that slider. And yay, OZZIEBALL!

Carlos might be the worst slider to ever live. It was productive, yet very scary.

Yes, good running by Rios!!

Quentin on the road vs LHP = fail

Rios with some sensational swings this game!! Hope he didn't twist his ankle too much.

Wow, Valencia missed that pitch by a foot

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 02:26 AM) Shut up Stone it was a strike. Your what hurts?

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 01:22 AM) Any early predictions on the insane circus ending in store for us Sox fans...? I'm gonna go with a blown call going the Twinkie way. I'm thinking a fluke play like an interference call costing the Sox a big run, or an easy DP throw being butchered Lillibridge style to give the Twins the lead.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 02:15 AM) Those two hits looked getable for Paulie If PK leaves, I truly think we'll be shocked when we realize how little range he has at 1b, as well as the fact that nearly every 1B is good at picking the ball at first.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 01:08 AM) AJP is flirting with worthlessness at the plate this year. No doubt in my mind we'd be a better team if Castro got to play every game against LHP. Also, no reason for Floyd to even pitch to Mauer. He's hitting over .650 vs RHP starters since ASB.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 11:44 PM) What he say? From Cowley twitter "Oz to Sox fans crying about Thome: "Don't like it that Thome isn't here? Good, don't watch the f------ White Sox."

I assume no one is watching tonight based on what Ozzie said today?

Another pathetic response by Ozzie with regards to Thome: http://twitter.com/cst_sox

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 10:49 PM) I like to lay down in my bed with the lights out stroking my stuff to Hawk's voice saying "Don't stop now, boys!" that's only after looking at your stuff and telling it to "stretch"

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 10:11 PM) Actually, a decent way to use him could have been having him facing any RHP that the Twins brought in from their bullpen...if Jones had come in to face the LHP in the 5th. Please don't go there. No smart manager would make a move in the 5th inning to try and help his team. The only strategy that can be used in the first 6-7 innings is small ball.
