Note to Sox training staff: if Putz throws a 91 mph fastball, he's hurt

Maybe KW should be looking for relief help instead of Manny?

Wow, this is f***ing insane. If he's not healthy, why the f*** is he out there?

Looks like Putz knee just flared up again. Only reached 91 mph, and then seemed to grimmace.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 03:54 AM) Are we even allowed to get outs in the 9th anymore? If this follows the script of recent games, Wiggington will reach base and Scott will homer on the first pitch.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 03:53 AM) Awful. Simply awful I don't get why he seems to have abandoned his slider. It was the pitch he was dominating the earlier part of the season with.

Wow, it's just totally mental for our bullpen right now.

I wish we saw Sergio's slider more often. All the damage against him seems to be done via his fastball/change-up.

Y tu Sergio? Brian Roberts must be hitting like .900 in his career against the Sox from the 8th inning on.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 02:42 AM) I just try to have a wee bit of common sense and not have a coronary every time ozzie speaks. How is having a runner in scoring position with Cause what's the point of having Pierre if you're not going to let him steal to get into scoring position. You might as well have an OBP god like Thome being your leadoff hitter if you're not going to trust him. Now, if Pierre is on 2nd base and no outs, I'm fine with the bunt.

Pierre continues to play great baseball. The #1, 4, 7 and 9 spots are flourishing right now.

Twins lose, and have to face Lee/Wilson to finish off series.

Peavy jerseys, even though you see just as many Pods jerseys at the park still as anyone else.

Way to go Alexei!

Frank Thomas told Hawk it wasn't his favorite new catchphrase. If Yaz and Catfish agree with Hawk, then we are really screwed.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 03:12 AM) So just wondering....since most seem to speak in absolutes around here (as long as its negative of course), what happens when Alexei gets the bunt down and then Teahen hits a double? Or does that only work the other way around where anytime a sac bunt is called the hitter would 100% have gotten a base hit? You're right, you and greg and others NEVER speak in absolutes. Bunting with a runner on first, no outs just is not working at all. I cannot believe there is anyone still trying to argue otherwise.

BECKHAM!!!!! Holy cow

Damn, Beckham with a great swing/approach on the first pitch.

Rangers lead

Very nice Teahen!!

Well, basically gave away that out by putting him in a hole.

Ozzieball rules!

Wow, we'll take it! That's all for Gavin, he really battled.

Rangers/Twins tied after top of 7th!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 25, 2010 -> 02:57 AM) w/thor down, he's probably waiting as long as possible. s***, i bet he doesn't even have anyone up. After yesterday's off day, no more excuses about not using the bullpen. You can only blame Joe West for so much.
