Why would you play Owens against a pitcher that is impossible to steal against?

And one other thing....just pretend like Wassermann and Ramirez aren't on the roster.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Sep 16, 2008 -> 02:48 AM) I didnt think this matchup favored us. Buerhle usually gets rocked by the Yanks. against no-name pitchers, I meant.

Good night, as the Twins lose.

Five straight good starts from our main 4 pitchers. At least it's not 2006 where a quality start was a myth.

Is it me, or does it seem we've lost a ton of games with Buehrle on the hill in match-ups that sure seemed to favor the Sox?

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Sep 16, 2008 -> 02:44 AM) I guess we have to rely on DWise to drive in our runs. Except we face a lefty tomorrow. At least Anderson (your buddy) will play.

What did Jackson do?

Just a terrible loss. Absolutely no focus at the plate, and the players were going through the motions. Some very mediocre decisions being made as well. Go Indians

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Sep 16, 2008 -> 01:40 AM) How does he have 5 losses? They use him in tie games so often that any run he allows will result in a likely loss.

Damn, that was a great play by Cano.

s***, Indians can't score.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 16, 2008 -> 02:37 AM) how has travis hafner completely avoided the steroid suspicions? I didn't think he has.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Sep 16, 2008 -> 01:30 AM) Begs the question...what would you rather have: Either giving Richard or Broadway a start...or having short rotation and relying on this bullpen for 4 innings? Personally...I'd have rather given Broadway a start. Ok...lemme have it. I'd rather have Carrasco start every 5th game. This is two games now since we went to this bullpen where the quality starts by our pitchers were wasted because they had to be pulled early.

Luckily, it looks like we'll miss Greinke and Meche this weekend.

FWIW, my brother saw Hughes pitch last week in the IL playoffs, and he said he was fantastic. K'd 12 in 5 innings.

I didn't want to create a thread for this, but what's everyone's prediction for this 10 game road trip?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 16, 2008 -> 01:24 AM) Yes, more awesome baseball! This teamk is going to embarrass itself in the playoffs. That's fine with me, just make it. Not wanting to go to the playoffs because you think you'll lose is lame. Why even play the season then?

Going into bottom of 8th for the Twins.

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Sep 16, 2008 -> 02:23 AM) Can anyone remember the last time we put a couple good offensive games together? I'd seriously like to know. Angels series, Fri and Sat

QUOTE (Wanne @ Sep 16, 2008 -> 01:20 AM) When's the last time JD homered? 2 weeks?...... No homers this month

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Sep 16, 2008 -> 02:18 AM) If there is anyone that is due to run into one its JD> He's been useless of late. How about just a cheap homer to right field?

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Sep 16, 2008 -> 02:17 AM) And now Richard warming. It CAN get worse. I'd take Clayton over Ramirez or Boone

Joba must have learned his pickoff move from Pettitte.

Do your thing DW.
