QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 10:33 PM) BTW, Ichiro is so so so good, but what the hell happened to his speed on the base paths? What happened? He's not the fastest players in the majors...it's just he gets out of the batter's box so well.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 10:31 PM) Seattle goes up 2-1 on a Junior 2-out double. Excellent, and Morrow's already been in so he can't blow the game against the Twins.

Haha...Kerry Wood vs Josh Fields.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 10:26 PM) Those one out spots don't always happen in the 9th and Thornton has come in for most of them. I think this actually plays to each pitcher's strengths better. Thornton has come in for the tight spots in the 6th, 7th or 8th. That might have more value than pitching the 9th with the lead. Yep...it's the Marmol factor.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 10:22 PM) im fine with jenks as the closer....but i personally think Thornton is the better pitcher That's why you and I are leading the charge for a Jenks trade.

One of the most impressive innings of relief this year. They had no chance against him.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 10:19 PM) Bad in April, but strong since. Figured that way. He was having real good ABs for a few weeks lately. Hopefully he gets on track for the Detroit series, as we'll need it against those tough righties.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 11:16 PM) thome is schizo these days. can't help but feel like it's nagging injuries popping up What's his rate walk this year? Seems less than usual.

2 of the first 3 batters for Indians are lefties....KEEP THORNTON IN.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 10:13 PM) Pods is the only decent hitter on the team right now, along with AJ. Go figure. We need a healthy CQ or none of this matters tho. Jermaine's been strong

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 10:13 PM) So with Getz and Fields having good games today, does Gordo play SS tomorrow? That would be great, as Alexei's way off again

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 11:12 PM) can you wish for me to NOT get laid tonight I hope you suffer from erectile dysfunction tonight

Holy cow, a hit with RISP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate the bunt. Now we need a hit to score a run.

Great hustle by Getz!! Put on the hit-and-run Ozzie

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 10:09 PM) DO NOT help perez out Doug already has

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 11:06 PM) man...teams in contention would give up a ton for matt thornton the closer we get to the deadline And there's no reason in the world to trade him.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 10:05 PM) NOT TODAY. Impressive...please let him start the 8th.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 10:05 PM) i hate doug eddings Watch your mouth!

I'm pretty sure VMart has done a ton of damage against Thornton in the past.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 11:02 PM) That was a really good at-bat from Carroll. Dotel didn't make a good pitch 3-2, but Carroll fought off a few decent ones to get to that spot. Dotel just couldn't get that high fastball up high enough.

Terrible pitch selection in that AB. Bring in Thornton to face VMart, as Dotel's fastball is only at 90 mph today.

Mercy...get Floyd out of there.

Nix doing a good job out there in right field. He got a good jump on that flare. Dotel should be brought in for Floyd, as he's up in the zone the last two innings.

Doug is watching a different game than we are.
