fathom

I like the lineup, but hopefully we have a cut-off man ready for Lillibridge's throws from 3rd to 1st.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 08:25 PM) talk about 20/20 hindsight fathom, that is totally ridiculous. 3 relievers, 2 of them of the shutdown variety in putz and thornton, go down in a span of a week and you criticize management for not going after more relievers? I wasn't criticizing, as there's no need for another lefty reliever in the pen if Thornton comes back. I was just observing that you rarely see teams makeover their bullpen as much as the Twins have done in the last 4 weeks. Hopefully we have no more bullpen injuries.

Torres recalled...it's crazy how active the Twins have been picking up relievers, yet we're the ones who really need help right now.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 04:45 AM) Why hold on to him then if they're not going to play him? A lot of people think they're going to wait until Monday or Tuesday and keep saying they're going for it all in order to up the price we'd have to pay.

Well, Dodgers look like they're going to win. However, I still don't think it matters with Manny. Dodgers aren't going to start him over Pods.

U. Jimenez was left in way too long by the Rockies manager. Twins opening up their game vs Mariners. Mariners just seem completely outclassed by the Twins.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 03:02 AM) i dont care what anyone says linebrink has looked decent lately....if there wasnt a blown call right there he wouldnt have given up the 2 run shot...not his fault He's terrible. Giving up bombs to Gregor Blanco, walk-off singles to Kendall, etc. He's completely unreliable.

Blown call leads to the Swisher home run.

QUOTE (Real @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 03:42 AM) Yankees hitters look like s*** Unfortunately Seattle is playing terrible tonight. Need Branyan to hit a few bombs.

Way to step up FG!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 28, 2010 -> 02:43 AM) where's fathom, the closet yankee fan? Fatherhood is very time consuming. But a Yankees fan? I've been called a lot of things in my life, but never that.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 09:11 PM) That's where we differ, chw. Win and do it with class. I find it so ironic that you want the Sox to win with class yet you are so in love with Ozzie. Most fans outside of Chicago would call him a classless jerk.

Sweet, power from Rios!

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 03:00 AM) They're a LOT younger than the '05 Sox, imo. Reminds me of the '03 Marlins. That Marlins team had unbelievable talent on them. IRoid, D. Lee, Castillo, A. Gonzalez, Conine, M. Cabrera, Encarnacion, Lowell, Pierre, Beckett, Willis, Pavano, Penny, Urbina I love that team with all my heart

Excellent play by Beckham there. And Buehrle would be my #4 pick for the ideal rotation based on how he performs against big hitting teams.

Nice offense going this inning....Teahen's swinging a lot harder it seems since he returned from DL.

Anyone think of the Padres like they're the 2005 White Sox? Lots of similarities, in my opinion.

The Rios special there

AJP calling a very good game so far. Jackson's slider has been as good tonight as it's been all season with the Sox.

Come on Gordon...show some athleticism in the infield. Jackson looks to be losing his command, as he's thrown a lot of balls the last two innings.

Alexei having a hard time getting around on pitches this series. All sorts of lazy fly balls to right field. Also, someone needs to teach him not to stand straight up on a 3-0 count. That made that pitch look a lot better than it was.

Twins up 3-0 after Delmon Young homers. How's that Cliff Lee trade working out for you Texas?

The crowd is abysmal

Ha, missed that pitch by a foot. Only thing worse than that AB was hearing Hawk say AJ just missed a homer earlier in the game on a 250 foot pop up.

Damn...that would have been awesome if we were down 1. Hit it high and let it fly AJ!
