Why does anyone ever throw Konerko a fastball?

I swear, Kubel does more damage to the Sox than any player in baseball.

You have to be kidding me!

Huge 2 outs there...let's get the lead!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 01:53 AM) huge, and very unexpected Cuddyer is a huge out in this game.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 01:53 AM) They need to have an alternative Hawk Free broadcast, like SAP II. The only thing that could possibly make him worse is if he teamed with with Skowron all the time. That might be what hell is like. Sunday was pretty bad when it was a Stone solocast

Danks doing his best Garcia impression from last week. He's making terrible pitch after terrible pitch.

Danks' mechanics are awful tonight, as he's flying open too quick and fading more sideways instead of straight ahead.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 12:43 AM) We are in the midst of baseball hell. We dont invest enough resources in the draft, so we can build from within. We are kind of cash strapped so reinforcements are not on the way. We are not good enough to beat the twins, yet good enough to meddle around mid level only to piss down our pant leg in the second half. The changes we need to make cant happen because we have an owner who wont go overslot, we have a GM that just goes for it ever year, and we have a manager who falls in love with lefty slappy no talented hitters. Mix in some guys who are coasting and earning a paycheck and you have the makings of something that will break your heart in August for the next few years. We have a ton of money invested in a pitcher who's coming off an extremely serious injury next season, and a player in Rios who's salary continues to escalate that's going to need a strong finish to the season to keep up the good vibes from the first few months. If those two guys are underachievers, it seems very unlikely for this organization to compete.

Haha!! 3 rockets hit this inning!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 12:36 AM) Yay! Bobby Jenks is in the dugout. Maybe he was giving AJ and Ozzie helpful advice about pitch selection that inning. Glad he's earning his $7.5 million somehow. According to the AP, Jenks is at the game to receive his AL Central ring for the Twins.

Jeez, Quentin hit that ball extremely hard. Hopefully he's ok.

Quentin would be a beast if he ever was able to capitalize on hanging offspeed pitches.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 12:31 AM) It's because not all of us are so privy to the inside workings of the clubhouse Oh, that sounds so familiar to what some idiot on the radio likes to say. There were actually quotes though earlier in the year where Konerko said they've learned to just let Ozzie be Ozzie, and not worry about his antics.

That was impressive bat speed by Konerko...congrats on #30!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 12:29 AM) Ozzie's going to lose it. In a big f***ing way. Ha, I can't believe there are still people that think Ozzie's words mean anything anymore to the players.

Haha, brilliant pitch call by AJP to try and pick the runner off of 3rd.

KW, PLEASE DON'T WASTE MONEY ON MANNY! Save the money for the draft...oh wait

Wow, what a joke. Danks throwing batting practice when getting 2 strikes on hitters. I'm really not sure how anyone ever holds this Twins lineup down.

Wow, blown strike 3 call results in a home run for Hudson. This is going to be very, very painful.

Baker with easy inning. One positive is Rios avoided the DP since no one was on base.

Rock, does it make you feel better that at least Berkman has sucked with the Yankees so far?

Teahen is 10-29 in his career vs Baker, while Kotsay is 2-12

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 10:17 PM) And Baker tends to throw a? high fastball!
