QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 02:47 AM) agreed....thornton has basically one pitch...granted its the same mid 90s heater from the left side that poreda has, but s*** ehren wasserman has 1 pitch and its 86 mph from the right side! Against the Yankees with Joba and Rivera, you need a sense of urgency late in the game (7th, to be exact). This isn't the Tigers or Indians were you figure you'll have a few chances.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 01:40 AM) good thing we never even bothered to check to see if aaron poreda can get a few major leaguers out Agreed, the September call-up situation has been so damn frustrating. I really feel like I'm watching a different game than everyone else, as the decision making has been horrible (IMO).

I believe they said Perez and Lewis aren't available.

So, how are we to judge the Linebrink signing for this season?

Twins game is tied. f*** me

Our starting pitching has been awesome for a week now.

4-3 Twins with tying run on 3rd.

Just terrible managing, yet again.

QUOTE (WSoxMatt @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 01:29 AM) Twins about to tie it up That double by Mauer was ridiculous.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 02:27 AM) Linebrink can't stop messing with his shoulder. I predict offseason surgery. Yep, it's time we shut him down.

Twins have 2nd and 3rd, no outs. This has the chance to be a real s***ty night.

Twins with leadoff guy on in the 7th after Carroll boots a grounder.

Swing the f***ing bat. Good thing OC and Griffey showed up tonight, or we could be getting no-hit.

QUOTE (G&T @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 02:22 AM) I don't know if I've ever seen a game where a pitcher throws as many pitches as Hughes did, that early, and only give up 1 run. Gavin last night?

Go Indians

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 01:18 AM) Linebrink is hurt. I think its a lot more serious than they are letting on. Sunday, when he finally got in and gave up a bomb, he was trying to stretch out his shoulder the entire time he was on the mound. Couldn't agree more with you. You can see it in his face.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 01:18 AM) Which pitch was wild? On gameday, there is nothing in the dirt. Nope, just a terrible effort by AJP on a high and outside fastball.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 01:17 AM) Hey man, why don't you just turn the radio on and watch the tube if you can't stand him? Like a Bears game. With Directv HD, too much of a time delay.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 01:17 AM) Why is Hawk so surprised? Its Mike MacDougal. Its like being shocked Josh Fields strikes out. I have a bigger issue with AJP seemingly coasting during these games now. Of course, Hawk thinks AJP should play more, neglecting the fact that AJP seems to completely hit the wall as the season goes on.

Oh Hawk, seriously Shut the f*** Up!

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 02:15 AM) Have we heard the status of Linebrink recently. I'm sorry, but we are in a tight division race and if other guys can't get it done, we gotta throw him out there in close situations, not just blow out games...which are few and far between. Ozzie said he was going to use him in tight situations.

Joba and Rivera...super. Go Indians.

QUOTE (G&T @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 02:14 AM) Can everyone now shut up about bringing in the pen? THEY ALL SUCK. Wild pitch with a runner on 3rd is a hell of a lot different than facing Nady with ARod on SECOND BASE.

Well, that was predictable. Nice effort AJ.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 02:13 AM) Stone is coming for a reason. A little baseball knowledge in the booth will be nice. I'd rather Ozzie was an announcer, and Stone was the manager.
