Ugh, big batter here in Kubel. Floyd's offspeed pitches have been way up in the zone this inning.

As Hawk said, perfect positioning. Be careful with Morneau here.

Shades of the 5th inning for the Twins here. Cruising along, and then bam!

Floyd doesn't look very comfortable from the stretch.

Time for Floyd to limit the Twins rally here.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 01:09 AM) Carlos Quentin is now hitting .500/.667/1.500/2.167 with the bases loaded this season. How many slams does he have?

So when is Dempster going to turn into Braden Looper?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 01:07 AM) Would be nice if the Cleveland bullpen didn't s*** their pants tonight. What's going on in that game?

The Twinkie Dome air conditioning strikes again.

QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 01:06 AM) my bad. Didn't think the green was necessary when referencing PK these days. I understand, I just know it's frustrating when you see a post like that and think something good happened.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 01:03 AM) When's the last time the Sox had a gapper in a situation like this? As Hawk says...he's awesome

CQ!

The Sox hitters get into such a panic when there's RISP. So many freaking first pitch outs.

Chases a pitcher's pitch on the first pitch. What a terrible f***ing at bat by AJP.

When's the last time the Sox had a gapper in a situation like this?

Why is Hawk upset that they didn't call that a strike? He should be grateful the umpire is inconsistent.

Hit-and-run? Excellent call by Ozzie. I think the idea of making Fields focus on contact is brilliant. OC's got to avoid the double play.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 01:56 AM) The guy's been around the league for quite a while. You'd think the word would be out on his clubhouse attitude. Well, the Red Sox didn't seem to be in any rush to keep him.

Ozzie needs to get tossed. That's 3 awful calls against the Sox tonight.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 12:53 AM) Fantastic play by OC. I'm somewhat confused as to why his name keeps being mentioned in trade rumors. Simply put, the organization despises him.

Excellent play by OC. Much better defense so far tonight.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 01:47 AM) He's made a hot Jim Thome effectively useless at the plate. That's our brilliant manager

QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Jul 31, 2008 -> 01:47 AM) yes!! PK!! As someone who sometimes has to follow the action via this thread, shame on you.

Just pull him from this game, as it's obvious he's not feeling good at the plate. Just terrible managing by Ozzie in putting PK right after Thome.

Look at how much PK is diving over the plate. That's another reason he can't get his hands out to hit the ball with authority.
