Looking at that replay, that was terrible fundamentals by Rios. Why was he running on the grass so close to 2nd? If he slides to back of base, it's not even in question.

Yay, another out on the bases. Rios is the worst slider ever.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:27 AM) By "dominates" you mean "folds miserably against" of course. Even his saves against the Orioles have been poor efforts.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:26 AM) I don't feel good about Bobby if we go into the 9th with him, he is terrible against this team and in this park. Brian Roberts is Jenks daddy.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:23 AM) For being a wily veteran, Omar does some weird things at the plate and on the basepaths sometimes. Epic post, especially if Omar was able to confuse Wiggington enough to get Pierre to 3rd.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:26 AM) Now don't blow this one Jenks. Balta, don't worry, Jenks dominates the Orioles!

Way to go Rios! Shades of pre-ASB with Rios singles up the middle.

Damn, that first pitch to Rios was meat! Come on Alex, one time.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:23 AM) For being a wily veteran, Omar does some weird things at the plate and on the basepaths sometimes. With regards to the bases, I think he has the right idea in mind often, it's just the legs don't move as fast as they used to.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 01:21 AM) How was that injury related to his "Antics"? He over ran the base. He was pointing home for some reason, and he completely slowed down.

Vizquel will probably be bunting here, which at least would eliminate the Rios DP. Good job Juan!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 02:18 AM) Aj is an idiot and he finally got burned during his antics. I don't feel bad for him at all. Me neither, but I hope we don't play him until he's completely healthy again. I don't want to see him try to be a warrior.

Nice DP, Alexei almost took off Gordon's head with the throw.

Twins are going to win their game.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 02:14 AM) Yeah, I don't think it's too serious. AJ was pissed like it might have been more serious, but it could have been a simple ankle turn basketball players have all the time. I've had a couple of those that were serious enough to be taken out of a game like AJ was. Hopefully it looked worse than it was, as that was more of a knee turn than an ankle turn.

For those saying we'd have the lead if Kotsay stayed at first, that would have probably been a DP hit by AJP. Wiggington would have been deeper.

Well, that might be the worst AB of Beckham's career.

AJP should have just hustled and slid into 3rd instead of pointing for no reason. Hopefully it doesn't cost him the rest of the season.

Wow, AJP could have screwed up some ankle ligaments there. Hopefully he's ok.

Wow, what a lucky play all around! Thanks ump for that run.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 02:07 AM) That's all? He has 2 in 2 days. To be fair, he didn't reach base once for 2 months.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 8, 2010 -> 02:06 AM) Hi my name is Mark Kotsay. I finally got a nice hit. Then I had moment of stupidity and ran on Nick Markakis. I was out by 15 feet. This is the kind of production that I bring to a team as its DH. That has to be his 6th out made on the bases this season.

ALEXEI, STOP SHOWING BUNT! Meanwhile, for second straight inning, Indians blow a 2nd and 3rd, one out situation.

Kotsay is the worst fundamental player I've seen on the Sox in a long time. This team just doesn't value outs.

CQ acting like he's never seen a slider in his life.
