Funny tidbit, as the A's announcers can't get over how lucky Twins are getting with so many hard hit balls by the A's right at the Twins defenders.

PK and Quentin have had good ABs, so hopefully we get something going again this inning. Jackson's pitched well enough to be 3-0 so far with the Sox.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 12:49 AM) It really sucks that he can't get the Sox to hit the opposition at all. No doubt about it....nice change-up there!

Wow, literally a carbon copy to what happened in Jackson's last start. 1-0 lead, and then a home run given up with one out in the 6th.

Rios with another bad AB...no doubt about it. Maybe balta was dead on in that he should have been traded when he had extreme value.

I really liked the hit-and-run call there! It's really getting close to move Beckham to the 2nd spot time.

Great jump by Alexei to score easily on that play. As Hawk said, "don't stop now boys"

I'll tell you what, we've faced some pitchers with very deceiving ERAs lately! I forgot how bad Teahen can look at the plate as well.

Nasty play by the Tigers, but what a shock, ANOTHER double play hit into by Rios. Maybe it's time for him to hit 9th, and Beckham 3rd.

Big chance for Rios here, he has to avoid the DP.

Great job by Edwin of pitching over the bad control...but good grief, I'm so freaking sick of watching AJP bat.

PK has really, really struggled on defense the last 10 games or so. Jackson needed that DP, as Arizona Edwin showed up so far with his poor command.

You hate seeing Konerko lay off such meatballs when up in the count.

Rangers/Red Sox with the game of the year so far. Josh Hamilton is just an amazing player.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 14, 2010 -> 05:32 AM) How is it any different than a starting pitcher warming up then the game getting delayed at the start and coming in? Happens all the time In those situations, 90% of the time, the teams know the game will be delayed so they don't warm up the pitchers before it starts. Even Stoney and Hawk were talking about the difficulties of pitching after a long delay. The Marlins had all sorts of injury issues relating to this when Girardi was their manager, as I believe this is how Josh Johnson suffered a major injury. And greg, you have to judging the severity of issues by how much the media writes about something. If there was a correlation, then tonight's Bears game would be the most important game of the season.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 14, 2010 -> 04:18 AM) Santos K's Damon for 2nd out on a very nice change up and now Peralta grounds into a force out. Leaving Santos in paid off. It's a big no-no health wise

you don't see that often!!

Good job Sergio, hope that didn't mess your arm up.

Leaving Santos in the game is absolutely inexcusable.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 14, 2010 -> 03:42 AM) Friggin Twinkies with a lucky horseshoe up their ass again tonight. Goddamn. Oakland has had so many running in scoring position. They have 12 hits and to friggin runs. Twins luck is gonna run out here at some point..... Crain's been an absolute savior for their bullpen. Twins have been outhit by 8, and look to be in great position to win.

Twins have a horse shoe up their ass lately with all the jams they're getting out of.

Keep making more outs on the bases!

Almost guaranteed to be a rain delay during the game...an impressive line of red on the radar heading for Chicago.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 01:32 PM) Rosenthal had a quote from an executive about a week ago saying that basically everyone is being blocked, no one is getting through. This is hardly surprising since almost all the good players that may be available have reasonable contracts. This can't be true, as Chris Rongey said it would be easy to acquire a bat during the season.

I pointed this out yesterday, but I just hate having one hitter with any real power in the lineup. With Rios showing no signs of power in the 2nd half, only Konerko is a long ball threat in this lineup.
