And for those that think the season is over and want to see the Sox building for next season...Daniel Hudson has 8 strike outs thru 3 innings. At least my son was born healthy, or else I would say the last month has really sucked!!

I'm STUNNED that a Twins pitcher threw a 3-2 offspeed pitch. They've been consistently doing that for a decade, and our hitters have not realized that. We're going down without a fight now.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 03:21 AM) For a #3 hitter in the AL he's been pretty mediocre since about mid July, For as good as he was the first 3 months or so, he's been that bad since. Hard hit balls are very uncommon for him now after hitting rockets all over the park to start the season.

Ugh, the Hudson trade makes me sick. 6 strike outs in 2.1 innings already tonight. Jackson's been stellar, but I'm still not convinced he's a big upgrade with regards to next year's rotation.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 03:15 AM) or maybe an infield pop up? One of the longest balls he's hit in a few weeks.

Mark Kotsay should never be allowed to face a LHP. Too bad he was given a chance in one of the biggest ABs of the season. Gardenhire OWNED Ozzie in that inning...nothing new

With Kotsay being in the DH position, it really makes no f***ing sense for him to bat with the bases loaded before. Even if you use Jones there, you still have Teahen to face the mostly righty Twins bullpen. I can't wait to see Kotsay getting ABs over Logan Morrison for the Marlins in 2 seasons.

f***, Sox should be up 2-3 runs right now. Just another typical suckfest at Minnesota.

Jeez, our 8-9 in the lineup couldn't suck worse tonight.

AJP doing a better job of getting the bat head out in front tonight. Alexei with just a pathetic night at the plate, as he showed no effort to get the runner over.

QUOTE (La Marr Hoyt HOF @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 02:52 AM) Completely agree ... it's jaw-dropping Honestly, it doesn't matter if Kotsay was 10-10 with 10 home runs in the game coming into that AB. He literally is worthless vs LHP this season.

Wow...of course. That cut fastball has been crap tonight.

QUOTE (La Marr Hoyt HOF @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 02:48 AM) uhhh ..... he's just not good I'm convinced that with a healthy roster, there's never been a platoon player that was 0-21 vs a certain pitching side in a pennant race game in August that was allowed to hit with the bases loaded.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 02:45 AM) Did you check your PMs? just did!

Some versatility we have with the rotating DH. 0-22 vs LHP, what a disgrace...YOU SUCK OZZIE!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 01:41 AM) So now that the game is tied, where did everyone go? Diaper duty!

Mr. 0 for 21 vs LHP should not be allowed to hit here!

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 01:25 AM) Bacon gonna knock him him Great pitches to hit, just couldn't do anything with them. Feels like we could have 7-8 runs so far.

Crap Alexei...have a clue

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 02:21 AM) who said these two were rally killers? One of the most optimistic fans on here!!

Tied game...AJ with some great swings, if that ball was caught, I was throwing my computer.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 02:20 AM) Kotsay have a night... man he looked like he was running in sand there... I love the saying of "he runs like he's angry at the ground"

That a boy Kotsay! Really nice adjustment on the 3-2 offspeed pitch.

Great throw by Beckham! It's funny watching Thome run.

Thome is such a better "hitter" this season than he was last year. Doing a much better job of using the entire field.
