Twins already with the lead...Sox offense needs to wake up. Very lethargic swings. The paper said today that Rios is dealing with a bad wrist, and it's obvious by watching him bat that his bat speed is suffering.

Millwood has nothing on his pitches. Really thought Vizquel would have an easy time of hitting a grounder into the hole between first and second.

Anyone else having internet issues with At&t in the south suburbs? I had very sporadic internet usage during the game last night, which made Laporta's home run even more gratifying.

Sale's fastball was as good as advertised. Didn't like the 0-2 pitch selection after Markakis had never seen his slider.

I was really hoping that Dunn would suck after the trade deadline passed.

Come on Tribe!

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 02:08 AM) I look forward to this offense facing the likes of Lee or Sabathia in the playoffs. This team isn't making s*** unless Quentin and Rios get their heads out of their ass. Also, feel free to play our most dangerous hitter more in Castro. AJP is a complete waste of a lineup spot.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 02:05 AM) Games against bad teams don't matter, so don't get too worked up about it. This game felt like a Spring Training game. Think about this, our lineup to end this game was: Pierre Lillibridge Vizquel Quentin Kotsay Ramirez AJP Viciedo Beckham and Pena pitching his 3rd inning of relief

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 03:04 AM) Well, thats embarassing. Good job, gents, one run on the worst team in baseball. Doesn't Showalter own Ozzie?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 03:01 AM) Other teams take the extra base on us so often and so easily. I have no idea why Ozzie played Lillibridge the whole game. Terrible game all-around.

Wow, that was awful. Thanks Jenks for f***ing this bullpen over tonight. That lineup the Sox had at the end of the game doesn't deserve to win anything. And f***, the Orioles walk us off more than anyone.

I guess Cooper went to the mound to tell Pena to throw a meatball to Scott. Lucky that wasn't hit over the fence.

Twins now down 5-4

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 01:58 AM) Well, lefties were absolutely crushing Bergesen coming into this game, and we...well didn't. Well, I blame a lot of that on this brutal lineup. Kotsay and Beckham have had good ABs, but besides for those two guys, everyone seems to be in a rush to end their ABs. Lillibomb has seen 4 pitches in his last 3 ABs.

Oh come on, that's been a strike all night.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 01:55 AM) This offensive effort against this pitcher...was disheartening to say the least. He has good stuff, but our hitters were definitely overwhelmed.

Wow, Pena still in the game.

Goodness, a TON of swings and misses tonight.

Impressive swing by Beckham! Come on Juan, flare one down the right field line.

Wow, Viciedo's poor eye cost him there. I really wish he'd only face LHP.

Can Garcia pitch every game so we can have Castro become the starter? The quality of AJP's at bats are sickening. I absolutely do not want him back next season.

Hell of an effort by Pena.

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Aug 7, 2010 -> 01:35 AM) Who else is left, just Linebrink? A by-product of the Jenks debacle.

Great job by Pena bailing out Sale in the 8th. Our hitters have got to stop chasing first pitch offspeed pitches.

Fantastic recovery from Danks after the rough start. Really should have been 0 unearned runs.
