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.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 01:41 AM) He looked good until the 5th in his second ever ML start. He threw a few bad pitches with a catcher behind the dish that even you said is calling bad pitches. What is Buehrle's excuse for last night? They both sucked...this series is just so reminiscint of every important game we've played at Minnesota in the last 5 years or so.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 01:38 AM) My hats off to Richard tonight. He fared better than Mark did yesterday at least. Bulls***...he didn't even get past the 5th inning and blew a 4 run lead.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 01:38 AM) That's too obvious. I really question our catchers back there sometimes. Check out the runs allowed in Toby's starts in the last 10 games or so he's caught. He's absolutely atrocious back there.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:37 AM) That was hit hard, but Dye needs to catch that. Unless he was playing on the track, he had no chance. For the life of me, I can't believe we had Thornton warming up and didn't bring him in.
