LOL at Hawk saying Beckham is good at pop ups.

I really wish the Sox had more power in their lineup. The 6-7-8-9-1-2 in the order is just not a big enough long ball threat.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 01:49 AM) what's his deal? seems like he's been getting thrown out a lot lately. Lost a step, if not more. He would have been out by 5 feet the first time if the throw was good.

2nd time Pierre should have been caught stealing tonight. He had a good jump, a great pitch to run on, and was still out.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 12:48 AM) Pierre needs to be on 2nd. Problem is I really don't want to see Omar leading off the 9th.

I wish Viciedo got to bat here and go for the homer.

Nice job by Beckham of getting the hands in. Might as well try a hit-and-run here.

Holy cow, stop trying to pull everything! Somewhere, SSI is throwing darts at Greg Walker's face.

Volquez is back, and he looks phenomenal!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 12:41 AM) For what, the team? The team for some month? All year

Buehrle pitching well...hopefully one bad inning doesn't cost him the loss.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 01:37 AM) This is brutal Anyone have the offensive splits for home/road?

QUOTE (Real @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 12:37 AM) lol, looks like april to me The good news is that we can't get rid of Jones or Kotsay or Vizquel (not that I want to get rid of Omar) or anything else because they're helping keep certain players mentally stable on the team.

AJP slowed down a little running to first...no shock

That's like the 5th weak grounder to 3rd tonight. Terrible approach against Pavano tonight.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 01:32 AM) leave it to the god damn Twins to f*** us up. wow, really?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 12:30 AM) Liriano had 2 streaks of 7 consecutive retired last night. well, that's not good it's happened two straight nights.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 12:29 AM) Only if you think the Twins will trade for a pitcher and the Tigers won't. I do

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 01:26 AM) Those last 6 ABs were pretty brutal, besides Vizquel's hard hit ball which was ultimately just a first pitch out Shades of April and May where the starting pitcher would get 7-10 batters retired in a row. The great news is that this is the first time I can remember that happening in a long time.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 01:27 AM) at least Detroit lost again today... Tigers aren't nearly the threat the Twins are during the 2nd half of the season.

Jeez, our hitters look feeble against the low offspeed pitch and the inside fastball. KW, please find us some offense!

Damn, Pavano got lucky. Vizquel would have had a hit if it didn't hit him.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 12:21 AM) The Rays/Yankees game started at 4:00 here. I left to go do some brief shopping, got home about 5:45. It was the top of the 4th inning of that game when I got home. That game ended like 15 minutes ago.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 01:19 AM) Has the Twins catcher gone out to the mound tonight? It feels like a totally different game today. Haha, excellent point. Well, the 5th inning took like 6 minutes.

And that inning just got Pavano 8 innings tonight
