Nicely done Ozzie! Jackson's ERA is skyrocketing lately.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 01:15 AM) Who's our CF? Juan Pierre? BTW, did you see what I posted in the catch-all thread about Quentin being the worst defensively player in all of baseball in two different metrics?

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 02:52 AM) Fill me in, what'd he say? He said that Ozzie is gone after this season. He seemed very confident of this.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 01:50 AM) And now he pulls him. What a dumbass. Let's just pray that Pat Boyle is correct.

Good thing this game doesn't matter, as Ozzie leaving Jackson in the game to die is one of his 5 worst managerial decisions of the season. Not only that, but the runner just scored on a single when he was 5 feet from 3rd base and Pierre had the ball.

Jeez Ozzie, get off your f***ing ass and pull him before he hurts himself even more. Not only that, you have to worry about him changing his arm angle and potentially hurting himself that way.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 01:45 AM) If a linebacker takes his head off, trust me, there would be no "catching" him, it would be a head-to-head collision and make his Vick Jr. ass think twice about running again. Worst case scenario I have to wait until he gets to the NFL where he faces real defenses. Might I ask who you root for, as you clearly sound like someone who's jealous of Robinson.

Ok Ozzie, Edwin is clearly not feeling right. When Frank and Hawk can see it, you need to also!

Frank Thomas called that Manny 3 pitch AB without swinging a few innings earlier. Awesome job Frank!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 02:29 AM) but what do we do with the cuban man child? DH him, which means you trade Quentin this offseason (if you bring Konerko back)

As Bill Simmons said today, if you dress like you're going out to a bar, then expect to be treated like you're at a bar.

Wow, amazing defensive play by Morel!

Wow, very impressive by Morel!! Me thinks he's going to be the 3b for Sox next season.

Some very interesting stuff in this. Gotta love Quentin being the worst fielder in baseball based on two different metrics. http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/news;_ylt=AnMA...fangraphs091710

Mark Teahen is playing himself out of baseball when his contract is up. Never seen a hitter look so clueless against offspeed pitches.

Cool to see with Manny. He sure made the Cell look tiny.

Impressive, three strike outs looking to all three batters faced.

QUOTE (Cali @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 10:33 PM) Is it wrong that I honestly hope Ozzie goes off on some homophobic, racist, antisemitic rant to end all rants, so JR's hand is basically forced to fire him? Cause I'm pretty sure that's the only way he's gonna go.... Been hoping for this for a while.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 04:50 AM) f*** the Twins and their bulls*** brand of baseball. Little dinky hits, balls that hit bases, bulls*** calls by umps that save their asses, balls that hit off rafters in domes, taking cheap shots at opposing players, etc. I hope the Yankees kick their asses and sweep them in the first round of the playoffs. And screw Ozzie for never seeing to it that his team even the score against Young. And after what happened to Paulie tonight and later Pierre getting hit despite the warning, Young and Mauer should have had to spend the night in the hospital. I agree, it's pathetic that Ozzie never retaliated against Delmon Young. And as for the Twins and their bs brand of baseball? The quality of their hitters is so much better than ours, it's not even close. I didn't see that many dinky hits by them this season (that would be KC and M. Aviles).

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 04:51 AM) The NL playoffs should be very exciting. I wouldn't want to f*** with the Phillies right now. And we both love the Reds. As much as I admire the Padres effort this season, I'm happy I won't have to watch games from that boring stadium if they don't make it. Between the Twins and the Padres, I think I'd rather watch women's softball on ESPN.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 03:47 AM) I'm following the NL West from this point on. Hell of a face going on there. I'm praying either the Giants or Rockies (or both) get in. I think I'd rather see the Giants, even though I know your significant other is on the Rockies. And heck, if there's a former Sox player to root for, screw Jim Thome. I'll root for Juan Uribe over Thome any day. I don't want to see the NL East teams make the NLCS.

QUOTE (Butter Parque @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 03:42 AM) I only see one playoff season in there. Perhaps I am a lunatic for wanting to get to to the postseason. To many people here settle for mediocrity. This whole, "at least we're not the Royals" sentiment is depressing. We won't be saying that in 3 years about KC.

QUOTE (Real @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 03:42 AM) What pisses me off more than anything is that nobody will be held accountable. Actually one guy will be, Konerko. He won't be resigned for next year. That'll be the Sox gift to him. Allowing him to get a chance to win next year, that sure as f*** isn't a possibility playing with this clown crew. If the Sox don't bring back Konerko, they run a big risk of losing even more of their fan base. Konerko is far and away the fan favorite it seems, as well he should be. It's too bad it's not the other fan favorite, Mr. Buehrle, who isn't the one we're looking to deal.

Does Bobby Jenks get a World Series ring if the Twins win it all? Hard to argue that he wasn't a catalyst for their amazing 2nd half run.

Nice series...this team just pisses their pants vs the Twins far too often. Ozzie better start playing the youngsters. However, I'm sure Omar will be playing every day.
