So Linebrink has a better offspeed pitch than Jenks now? Good pitch there, but still a lot of trouble lurking.

Linebrink bringing it at 92!

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 02:37 AM) Why is AJ trying to hit a slam? Cause he has a ton of power...just wait until he realizes how good of a hitter he can be. Hopefully it's when he's playing in Seattle.

Terrible, AJP swinging for the fences there. This team just finds ways to lose now.

Wow, AJP might have broke his neck with all that movement on that 2-1 swing.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 02:34 AM) paging manny ramirez to pinch hit I don't think he's very good with the bases loaded.

Great eye by Andruw there. AJ's going to have to line Perez into left field with how much his fastball is tailing.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 02:31 AM) Andruw Jones 2 run triple? Would Konerko score?

QUOTE (RudyLawRules @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 02:30 AM) King of the f$&*ng double play. Unreal. His 87th since the ASB

Ha, of course. Pathetic...it's like he didn't notice every other fastball had been tailing in.

Stay hot Rios, and please avoid the double play!

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 02:26 AM) so if Beckham is out for a while, do you put Teahan at 3B and Vizquel at 2B? Absolutely...under no circumstances should Lillibridge be starting more than once a week.

Very nice start by Pierre...please don't bunt Omar.

BTW, anyone concerned we've heard no update about Beckham yet? Usually you hear something by now if he's ok.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 02:22 AM) That was ugly Brent. Now who the f*** pitches the bottom of the 10th??? Linebrink or Charles Nagy

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 02:21 AM) What excuse is Jenks going to make now? This is a wretched performance for a closer at this point in the season. Hey, he can still throw 100 mph and has a good curve...he's just a pitcher, not a thrower now. I'll give him this, no one makes a 3 run lead seem smaller than him.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 02:20 AM) Our efforts against our division and s***ty teams in general have handicapped us going down the stretch. Good teams don't consistantly f*** up like this against inferior talent. There are only so many crappy teams you can make into world beaters by kicking the ball around and pitching like you suck. For all those who are saying the sox are gassed. Well its their own damn fault. The only reason they needed that run was because of how horrible they started the season. Play 500 ball in April and May and beat some of these crappy teams and we are printing tickets for the playoffs. Its our own damn fault. If Lillibridge didn't suck defensively, then Jenks wouldn't have had to go 2 innings. Lillibridge is just a terrible defensive player. Way to go Jenks!

Thing is, Jenks has a pretty good fastball tonight all things considered. It's just his offspeed pitches have been awful.

Very nice play by Alexei. Can we please not get walked off in another road game please?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 02:16 AM) I'm just uhhh umm, iiii blah I couldn't imagine how mad I would have been if this happened a month ago.

I'm sorry, but our manager needs to be fired. You cannot keep putting players in these ridiculous situations. Also, Kotsay has been awful at 1B tonight.

Wow, he is freaking terrible defensively.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 02:14 AM) i'm calling another Minnesota - no outs recorded. I already predicted that

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 02:13 AM) take him out please, he went 1.2 last night This is just insane...it's hard to even blame Jenks when Ozzie is abusing Jenks so badly.

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 02:13 AM) If Bobby blows another one is he STILL our closer? Does it even matter anymore?
