QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 12:48 AM) Why did Crede even dive at the ball Hernandez hit? It was a slow chopper that could have been easily reached out for. I hate Crede- he just isn't very good. God forbid scoring runs on a medicore pitcher, too. Why was he playing even with the bag?

Sickening...why does Richard go away from his change-up? Good thing we took Game 1 for granted.

About time to take Richard out. His slider is just a terrible, terrible pitch.

Yay, more poor range by our defense. Why do our 3rd basemen play so close?

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 01:34 AM) Why did we bring him back up? Wasn't he like 0 for ever down there? I don't get it, especially to face a LHP.

Another just amazing AB for Crede....ugh!

What a great swing by Griffey!

Thome's really struggling against LHP lately.

Joe for 3

Milkman and I are in chat....please feel free to join us.

That would have been a great way to end last game.

I think it's ironic that AJP has a swinging bunt.

Wait, what happened to Richard starting? I like a lefty going against Baltimore much more than a righty.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 11:16 PM) I've been one of Ozzie's biggest defenders all year, as people like fathom among others would tell you because I've defended him in a lot of threads this season, but you can't defend what he did tonight. It was just atrocious. Just put the 9 best players possible on the field, and let them hit away until there's 27 outs against them. Smallball has created so many damn unproductive outs lately.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 11:28 PM) I feel dirty after this loss. No way Twins lose to Bautista either. Twins keep getting the s***ty Mariners starters. They dominated those guys last time.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 11:15 PM) Throw an inside strike, not some outside corner nipper that might make it 3-0 or the guy hits it the other way. Carrasco doesn't throw much straight, and from what I've seen, he likes to keep everything on the outer half to righties and inside to lefties. I hate HoRam, as he's just not of high caliber.

Just watched the DVR of the CQ at bat to lead off today. How was that not a homer?

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 12:12 AM) I blame Ozzie partially for this loss. Ramirez should have been pulled sooner. Carrasco/A.J. gets the other blame. Why pitch outside against a RHP with one out/bases loaded when you need a DP? 2-0 with the bases loaded...you have to throw a strike. There were 3 instances in this game where we tried to bunt that probably prevented the Sox from winning. I can only pray Ozzie learns that this is a one-dimensional team.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 12:05 AM) Please archive this pathetic game thread. LOL at the comments about AJ and Ozzie. LOL at thinking a player from the Twins org cant bunt. This board is a walking talking ad for Xanax Answer me this...why in the f*** would you bunt to make it so they won't pitch to Quentin?

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 12:04 AM) So stupid that we had to play this thing in baltimore Should have won the game months ago.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 12:04 AM) A fitting end to this one. Maybe Ozzie will realize you can't give away an out with a bad bunter down one in your potential last at bat. We deserved that loss between that managerial gaffe and the way we played this game back in April. Oh well, gotta win tonight now. When will this POS learn to stop bunting!!

Jermaine gets a hanger, and pops up. Great job Ozzie, yet again.

Be patient Jermaine

Wow, walking CQ into scoring position. Go for it Ozzie, let Jermaine bat!
