QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 03:14 AM) That's such a tiny sample to complain at all. Konerko is OPSing above .900 with runners on, RISP and RISP w/2 out. 1-7 with the bases loaded. Oh well. He's still a star and clutch isn't a problem. Again, I'm not talking about vs every team. Simply put, in the recent games in Minnesota, he's had 3 huge chances to win or tie the game for the Sox, and he failed each time. There's no doubt he's our MVP this season, and with guys like that, you want them up in those situations.

ALEXEI! Hawk almost with a premature base hit call. Kudos to Ozzie for having Lillibridge run for Kotsay. Hit a double Gordon.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 03:11 AM) I'm not looking at any numbers here....but I can tell you that just from memory, when we need a big hit, late in a game, especially in the 9th inning, Paul Konerko is not the player I want coming to the plate. My memory might be completely wrong, but that is what it is. That's all I'm saying...he's overthought his ABs in those situations.

Very nice AB Kotsay!

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 03:07 AM) So you want the guy to hit .500 in Target Field to be satisfied. Yeesh. Seriously, you have no complaints about the massive failure he's had in the 9th inning of 3 of the last 4 games here?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 03:07 AM) Jon Rauch is a gigantic asshole

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 03:05 AM) 10-26 in Target Field this year with a .984 OPS. I assume that's before tonight's game too. Yet can't get a big hit late in the game to save his life.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 03:05 AM) Matt Thornton is a sex machine. His ERA would be unreal if not for that one Tigers game.

Can Thornton just keep pitching the rest of the game? I like CQs chances to do damage here.

What sucks is that was really a tough pick by Cuddyer on the DP. Hardy rushed that throw, but Cuddyer saved the Twins two runs.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 03:00 AM) He has a home run tonight. Killing us. Massive choke by Konerko in 3 of the last 4 games in Minnesota.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 02:57 AM) Nice job Paulie. He was way too busy trying to hit the ball the opposite way there. Wasn't taking his usual good swings on the inside fastball.

Damn...of course. Konerko continues to just kill us in these games at Minnesota.

Oh boy, they have Konerko set up for the offspeed pitch.

LOOK FOR THE FASTBALL KONERKO!

How the hell did Hudson catch that?

JUAN!

If they try to turn two here, Gordon might knock someone into LF.

Dang, that 0-1 was in Beckham's wheelhouse.

ALEXEI! Go f*** yourself Delmon

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 02:42 AM) I think that pitch to Hardy from Santos was intentional. You're right, in a one run game with season on the line, you're throwing at someone with a runner on 3rd base.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 02:40 AM) Except it wasn't. You don't know that, just like those thinking it was a a good trade for the Sox don't know that. My main belief is they can probably put up similar numbers next season, and we need that 8 million dollars to upgrade other spots.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 02:40 AM) What the hell is that!??!? He didn't even try to touch home plate!! How is he not ejected???? If we don't throw at him sometime this series, then Ozzie is a bigger coward than we think.

Oh Delmon, you f***ing piece of s***.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 03:32 AM) No matter what happens in the next few days, the Sox gave me a better season than I thought wed get. Yes and no...there were definitely some great memories from the incredible run. However, there's been enough bad happen that people need to be held accountable. We're not exactly a team built for the next few seasons with the likely departure of Danks, Konerko being 50/50, Peavy's difficult rehab, and a bullpen with only 2 guys you can project (Santos/Thornton)
