Finally we get a call from the umpire.

QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 08:53 PM) Cmon bobby we need ya here. so are the twins really this good? Yes, they're excellent. They have the best starting rotation in baseball right now to go along with the best closer.

QUOTE (letsgoarow @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 08:52 PM) for the 1,000th time....i hate oc agreed

Damn OC, swinging right through an 86 mph fastball.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 08:50 PM) OC has the opposite field swing going this at bat, so we have a chance. Ha, you and I are on the same page.

Very nice Getz. One time OC!

Holy s***, what a break!! Great job Konerko.

How in the hell can't they hit 86 mph fastballs?

Did Swisher really expect a 3-2 fastball? Just a terrible at bat, as he was trying to hit a homer.

Holy smokes, that 1-1 pitch was a meatball. He's trying to do too much.

Holy smokes, that 1-0 pitch was a meatball.

Good job Griffey!

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 08:36 PM) He doesn't bat in them often, and when he does, it's almost always against a lefty specialist or a closer. What do you expect his numbers to do in those spots?? To do something productive more than once a season. Not a big deal though, that's about 100th on the list of concerns.

You've got to be kidding me. What a freaking idiot.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 08:34 PM) He has a 1.037 OPS with runners in scoring position and 1.010 with runners on base compared to .781 with the bases empty. I don't know his innings 7-9 numbers, but those numbers I just mentioned point to "clutch" more than anything, if you believe in such a thing. I've never said he's not a good hitter with RISP. It's all about late inning situations.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 08:33 PM) Thought for sure OC would boot that one. In a sick way, that would have been awesome.

How has Ozzie not been ejected this weekend?

Boston takes the lead.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 08:28 PM) His worse set of numbers are between innings 4-6. What's his numbers from 7-9

It sucks to think that all of their runs have been due to bad defensive plays today.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 08:24 PM) Wouldn't doubt it. Never had an ERA below 4.15 and that includes years where he had ERA's of 13 and 7.50 and never struck guys out at the rate he has. That info was told to me through someone in Tampa's front office.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 08:24 PM) I don't mind seeing Thome swing on 3-0. Everyone else is going for the fences, it's impossible to start a hitting sequence. That swing was fine, just underneath it.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 08:23 PM) OH MAN!. TOME SUX.! NO CLUTCH HITS Haha, I love this argument. As I said yesterday, he has one meaningful hit all season past the 6th inning.

This team has shown no heart this weekend.
