I remember Damon having some AWFUL at bats vs Jenks in 2005 postseason. A strike out in game 3, and a very weak foul out in game 2.

Nice job of Jenks throwing strikes on 3-2.

The Tampa announcers are praising Jason Repko the same way that Hawk used to praise Randy Ruiz

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 01:46 AM) You should watch the stand-up special he took it from - Live at the Purple Onion, Zach Galifinakis Yep, it's amazing! In recent specials, he's been using Dog the Bounty Hunter instead of Patrick Ewing.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 01:45 AM) This is giving me fits... Huh?

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 01:45 AM) I'm usually with you on that one, Fathom. It was the pitch count and the score that lead me to think he deserved to at least face the first guy in the 8th. It's just the top of the 8th was so long.

There you go Matt!

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 02:42 AM) Matt Thornton looks a lot like John Malkovic. My wife looks a little like Charlize Theron....and a lot like Patrick Ewing

Stone begging for the jinx

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 02:41 AM) I see and appreciate what you guys are saying, but I still think Ozzie played it right. He gave Jackson one at-bat, which he blew with the walk, and then he yanked him. Who's to say anyone from the bullpen would have done any better with just that one batter? We just saw what Putz had on hand tonight. Personally, I'm a HUGE believer in letting a reliever start an inning when possible.

Bad pitching, bad defense, bad managing this inning. I'll be fine with a 4-2 game after this inning.

Ugh, Andruw Jones with some absolutely boneheaded defense the last week.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 02:37 AM) 9 pitches this inning, and 9 balls, 0 strikes..... Ump was squeezing us

Sweet, 7 straight pitches not even close.

4 not even close...Ozzie fail

Really don't like Jackson starting this inning, especially with Putz up in the pen.

1-0 Twins after 7...Twins pen likely to get 8th and 9th.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 01:20 AM) Oh s***. Sutcliffe is extolling the virtues of Mark Kotsay's clubhouse presence now... Wasn't Kotsay on the Padres when Drunkcliffe was their announcer?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 02:16 AM) I'm just going to call him Edwin. I like the name Edwin. What, not the EJackulator?

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 02:13 AM) Outside of tonight, Houston has been great since Oswalt and Berkman were traded I really enjoy watching Bourn and Pence play, even if Bourn's numbers aren't the greatest.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 01:10 AM) I'd pull him and say great f***ing job, Edwin. I'd let Putz start 8th

Much better swing by Rios

Best hitter in baseball the past month = Chris Johnson of Astros? Talk about racking up hits.

Baker is making Tampa look foolish. Tampa hitters missing his offspeed stuff by a foot.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 5, 2010 -> 02:06 AM) He pitched over a HUGE defensive miscue, some bad luck, and made 1 bad mistake I can think of. Dude has been very good tonight. Not dominant, but very good. He made some bad mistakes the first few innings, but luckily didn't pay for it. Since Cabrera's flyout in the 3rd, he's been great.
