Gavin's never been one to be afraid of sucking in big games vs Minnesota. Thankfully, he'll be pitching on 5 days rest in his next outing.

Stone is ripping the decision to leave Gavin in. At least I'm getting optimistic people are turning on Ozzie.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 03:19 AM) Ozzie leaving in Floyd because.... If you don't like it, then turn off the f***ing TV.

Haha, gotta love Floyd being left in this game.

Get him off the mound, looks like Gavin has a dead arm. I cannot believe Ozzie and KW seriously considered a 4-man rotation.

What in the f*** is Alexei doing? Hey Ozzie, can I stop watching this you dick?

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 03:14 AM) How much of a joke is it that NOW Cooper comes out. I cannot wait for him to defend the awful performance of his pitchers on the radio in the days to come. He's quite the egomanical jerk.

42 yr old Omar makes that...43 yr old Omar just misses it.

Yay, another fastball called by AJP. Gavin completely crapping the bed for a 2nd straight start vs the Twins. AJP cannot leave this organization soon enough.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 03:11 AM) Lopez has been a butcher at 3B for the Cards. Is rarely playing 2B or SS. I was completely kidding, as I was trying to use Ozzie's logic about how important "versatility" is.

Wonder when AJP is going to realize Floyd has no command of his fastball, as well as being down in velocity with it?

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 03:08 AM) big inning for Floyd here Floyd's throwing batting practice right now. Twins are hitting a lot of balls hard as Floyd continues to miss the spot with his fastball.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 03:06 AM) Who would you rather see in a White Sox uniform right now... Albert or Mauer? Neither, both guys only play one position, which means they bring no versatility to the Sox. I'd rather have Felipe Lopez, who can play a few infield positions.

One of the most common themes of Sox failures at Minnesota over the last 10 years or so is that even if a Twins starting pitcher struggles, the Twins long reliever always comes in and shuts the door on the Sox while the Twins get chance after chance to get back into the game.

Jeez Andruw, get the piano off your back.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 02:56 AM) That was Mauer's first damn shot in Target Field too. Gavin's looked awful in these last two games vs the Twins. His fastball seems down a good 2-3 mph.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 02:55 AM) i hate that guy Just walk him every time...hitting almost .700 against RHP now over last 16 games

Gosh, he's amazing. Hate seeing a first pitch fastball to him though in a situation where he's swinging for the fences.

On a hit-and-run, you don't run until pitch it thrown. Also, you don't do a hit-and-run with 2 strikes.

Nice play Gordon!

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 02:48 AM) why was AJ stealing? 2 outs and 2 strikes is almost a guaranteed steal attempt under Ozzie.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 02:47 AM) Glad the run scored but why did AJ swing at that? I'm calling for another Andruw bomb right here. He saw like 6 straight fastballs. Just be thankful he made any contact at all on that slider. And yay, OZZIEBALL!

Carlos might be the worst slider to ever live. It was productive, yet very scary.

Yes, good running by Rios!!

Quentin on the road vs LHP = fail
