QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 03:22 AM) Man I still hate that game. Worst game since 2003. Remember how that game ended?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 03:22 AM) Seriously? Do you actually believe there's nothing mechanically or physically screwed up with him? Mechanics are confidence. Physically, I think his hand should be fine by now. Look at his swing at the plate, it's so ugly.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:18 AM) Konerko's had a horrible year, I don't think anyone defending him has said otherwise. My belief with him is his injuries have accounted for the big dropoff. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't buy Paul Konerko being a .210 hitter. My deal with Swisher is he has been awful yet people continue to stroke him. It's all confidence with PK right now. Problem is, we can't afford to keep losing games while he kills us at the plate and in the field.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:16 AM) We need BA to give the rest of this team hitting lessons Can he manage?

The Sox make Carlos Gomez look so good.

Dye trying his best to pull everything so far this series.

QUOTE (quickman @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:12 AM) he took a pitcher to 13 pitches, thats a good at bat besides the fact he flew out. The twins basically have three guys on there team, and the sox continue to let those guys beat them. Thats the difference, Basically our single A pitcher against there best player. game over. Who cares how many pitches you see from a one inning reliever? When you're trailing in the 7th inning, production is the only thing that matters.

Swisher continues to suck. But hey, at least he saw a lot of pitches...ugh

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 03:07 AM) they keep on sending poor guy All Crain has to do is throw a slider, and it's going to be a strike out/caught stealing.

Don't send OC on the 3-2

That 1-0 pitch to Swisher was the same pitch Richard threw to Morneau on the 1-2 that was called a ball.

Haha, Swisher batting for Anderson.

QUOTE (stretchstretch @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:57 AM) I honestly think the Twins wouldn't bother me so much if their squeek in the playoff approach that relies so much on home field, didn't end up getting them bounced in the 1st round every time as they start the series on the road, and end up making the Central look weak If the Twins make it with this rotation, they'll have all of my respect.

Carrasco continues to be a stud. Let's score 2 runs so I don't have nightmares of Richard being left in this game for Morneau.

Haven't the Sox had good success vs Guerrier this season?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 01:53 AM) The Cubs. Good one...I wish we could be beating Ben Sheets 6-0.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 01:52 AM) What f***ing team do you watch?!!? Thornton throws about 90 pct fastballs. His slider is terrible for a major league pitcher.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:51 AM) Really? It screams poor man's Thornton to me. He doesn't have the slider Thornton does IMHO. If only one of them developed a good changeup, they would be devastating. Thornton has a slider?

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:50 AM) In after work, how was richard? Like the usual minor league player we call up.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:49 AM) Can we take out Toby Hall, no faith in him. sorry Toby AJP should have been playing in all 4 games this week. He's gotten a good amount of rest this season, and these games are too important to play the far superior Hall.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 01:47 AM) Poreda is a stud. You kidding me? Guy is awesome. Until we trade him that is, then he's another De La Santos who everyone will say, "I always thought he was a bullpen guy anyway". Everything about Poreda screams "Thornton clone"

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:45 AM) They hit our pitcher, they score, we hit theirs, get thrown out. Go figure. I hate when Hawk starts going down that path. Mauer's was an absolute rocket that hit Richard in the ankle. Ramirez's was solidly hit, but got Perkins higher up on the body. Richard's lucky he didn't break his ankle.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:40 AM) He doesnt have enough secondary stuff. Second and thirs time through the order, his fastball starts to look BP-like. He has a future in the pen, nothing more IMO. Sounds a lot like Poreda

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:44 AM) I predict use getting 0 more hits this game. Shut up

Oh great, a moral victory of an out for Konerko.
