QUOTE (SoCalSouthSider59 @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 06:44 PM) WTG Mark, now if you had only done that the first 2 innings....... Do you have a marketing deal with the bold icon?

Meanwhile, have I said how much I hate Billy Beane. Rich Harden in the NL is just unfair.

Nice offspeed pitch to Pena. I honestly have no clue why we keep throwing him fastballs this weekend.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 07:38 PM) Our outfield is the slowest in the league and our SS is overrated. Our 3rd baseman plays on the grass for every hitter, and our 2nd baseman seems to boot a ball a game since the ASB.

Any chance it might rain today? I've never heard Hawk sound so defeated.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 07:32 PM) Eh, I'm sure we'll win 2 or 3 in Baltimore, and everything will be "right" again. We have 4 there, and that includes Richard going tomorrow. Considering that tomorrow is a bullpen game without Jenks....well, it's scary to think what the standings could look like after tomorrow.

It's pretty simple, and I doubt even the most positive people will disagree with this....this team doesn't deserve s*** if they continue to put forth this effort.

Hey Uribe....feel free to not play 60 feet away from the hitter.

Holy s***...pull these clowns off the field.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 07:22 PM) for being an "Ace" as a lot of sox fans like to proclaim him, he sure does have a ton of guys that hit .300+ against him (he's not an ace) He's not an ace...does anyone really believe that anymore? He's a very good #2.

0-2 fastball misses its spot by a foot. Tampa plays with such swagger, it's impressive to see.

The horrible at bats with RISP continues. If Buehrle allows a few runs this inning, THIS.GAME.IS.OVER

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 07:16 PM) quentin has sucked lately with RISP pull happy

Just terrible....everything that can go wrong is.

Time for CQ to make his mark on this series.

I'm really enjoying calling first pitch fastballs to an overaggressive team

Nope....what a freaking joke. This weekend has been nothing short of a disaster so far.

Can Buehrle pitch over some more terrible defense?

I stayed up for the basketball game last night, and it was well worth it. The Rudy Fernandez dunk in the 4th quarter was one of the more memorable moments of the Olympics.

Twins with a huge inning going, as Judy Garland is s***ting the bed.

QUOTE (griffey17 @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 12:05 AM) Agreed...but Thornton didn't help by walking in a run I'm not even close to being mad about that....it was a hell of an at bat.

BTW, wasn't it refreshing to not see Tampa play smallball in the 8th inning? They went for the win instead of having Bartlett bunt. Kudos to their coaching staff.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 11:59 PM) It's 1 AM here in n Warsaw, Poland. There's a million BEAUTIFUL women who want it and the clubs don't close....and here I am pissed about the game and I don't want to go out because of it. Someone please give me a DOSE OF REALITY I guarantee this one game won't decide who actually makes the playoffs. Sadly, those girls in Poland have never heard of Carlos Quentin, so they're not going to be in a bad mood. If Orlando Cabrera doesn't give a f***, then why should you?

Thornton had the chance to get out of that inning with the Sox still tied if OC could field the damn ball. Does he have naked pictures of the official scorer? I've never seen a player get the benefit of the call more than he does.
