Bonser is hanging about 75 pct of his offspeed pitches.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 02:59 AM) The question is, what line-up will Ozzie use tomorrow? Can you stay with Wise,junking the experiment with the new line-up after one game? Do you try Swisher? Slowey is a command and control pitcher. Swisher will play. He's had some good hits vs Slowey this year.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 02:59 AM) Fathom, I actually was in the car when it happened (saw the replay later) stone was saying the umpire just flat out missed the call. It was very close, as Gomez's left hand was underneath Cabrera.

Wow Juan...pathetic. I won't be sad to see him gone.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 02:54 AM) It was pretty obvious that Blackburn was throwing BP fastballs last inning. Griffey had homered, two out of three lefties coming up, and Blackburn's pitch count was up. You can credit him for picking Breslow (over Mijares, Reyes, Guardado), but it wasn't a great move. We'll see Bonser in the 7th, and very possibly Nathan for 2 tonight.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 01:53 AM) Or what a huge run scored when the umpire called some one safe at second who then subsequently scored... Yes, but it was a very close play, don't let Hawk fool you.

Hell of a job managing Gardy.

Wow DJ, f***ING AWESOME! All he says is "swinging for the fences".

Yay...playing right into Gardenhire's plans.

We're going to see Breslow likely. Griffey shouldn't be facing him, but it's not even worth arguing about.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 01:44 AM) Wait till the postgame. When our hitters make Blackburn out to be Johan. HIS PITCHES MOVED. HE DIDNT GROOVE FASTBALLS. HIS 88 MPH fastball was tricky. THE GHOST OF DA DOME. BOO. You will get your wish this offseason, I honestly believe it.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 01:44 AM) Do NOT throw a first pitch strike to Young. Too late

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 01:34 AM) Ozzie you need to call hit and runs and do bulls*** that we wouldnt normally do. Its time for desperation, we cant just go station to station and try and out slug the twins in this park. My internet went out, but I was going to say the same thing. Everyone watching could see that Dye was going to hit into the double play. Giving Jermaine a reason to focus on hitting it to the left side would have been a great idea. Of course, Ozzie sat on his hands when Wise got on and OC was up in the 1st inning.

Is it bad I'm rooting for Dye to make an out without hitting into a double play?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 01:29 AM) Its basically a taller, less talented version of Timo/Willie Harris. Wise has a lot more talent than Timo.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 01:29 AM) I think its rally Griffey, I dont know why but seeing that last swing of his just seems like some how the old Griffey woke up and decided hes just going to carry our ass into the playoffs. How about the Rally Dye, and try to spark someone?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 02:27 AM) Um, what did I miss when I see 70 bazillion posts a day about AJP sucking balls in the #2 position? Are you talking about OC leading off and Wise batting 2nd? Yes, sorry I wasn't clear.

QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 02:26 AM) Great inning Mark! Yep...let's get some runners on and finally hit a blast.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 02:25 AM) That's a hard call, he needed to do something to change it up. Why? Of all things, the 1-2 spot in our order was going the best.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 02:24 AM) I would like to see BA in the game at some point. I love how hawk and DJ criticize the Twins for pitching in, and then they get out of it. Good call Hawk Why wouldn't they keep ptiching Uribe in? Every ball he fouled off would have been an easy 5-4-3.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 02:23 AM) I'm sure that is the reason he didn't come through. I don't know, but leaving 5 men on in two consecutive at bats = change of mojo needed

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Sep 25, 2008 -> 01:22 AM) Dewaynne Wise had a nice week and delivered a couple of big hits, but let's stop pretending he's starter material. There's a reason he's a thirty-year old journeyman. I'll never understand moving a player out of a position in the order when they're going well.

Ok, time to get rid of the stupid DW rally s***.

What a f***ing terrible at bat by Uribe.

Juan's doing his best to hit into a 5-4-3 DP.
