HE'S AWESOME! Thank you for throwing him a fastball he can turn on.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:31 AM) I'm really not sure how people really put that much stock in Boof Bonser, Carlos Silva and a 1-armed Brad Radke. I just don't get it. Bonser has more good starts in his last two outings than most of our pitchers do in the last 5 weeks.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:30 AM) This was just before they came to Chicago and almost swept us, when they were on their hottest tear of the season. Is my point hitting home quite yet? I don't care about how Boston played them. The Twins dominate those teams because their bullpen holds every late lead they have.

That ball wasn't even close to being fair.

Nice swing by Iguchi...good thing he didn't face Nathan last night.

Anyone else notice Pods not running hard through the base? Go back to the Frontier League Scott.

Great play by Castillo. Pods out by a mile of course.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:26 AM) Boston lost 3 of 4 at Tropicana, and the Rays are over .500 at home this year. That's BOSTON!

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:26 AM) Knee buckling curve in 3...2...1 I'm throroughly enjoying your posts tonight.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:25 AM) Sox fans, of all people, should know that @Tampa Bay is about a country mile more difficult than vs. Tampa Bay. For the Sox it is...the Twins typically handle medicore teams. That's one of the main reasons it's always been so hard to catch them when we fall behind them late in the season.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:23 AM) What are the chances Pods takes strike 3? If he's going to make an out, I can only wish it's on a called 3rd.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:22 AM) what streak? we have played .500 ball over our last 20 games against the toughest competition we will face all year, and we are without our f***ing DH this series. just out of curiosity, has anyone even cared to take a peek at Minnesota's september? It is absolutely brutal. It is? Not really...it's actually very easy. Half of their games are against KC, Balt, TB, and Cleveland.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:22 AM) The difference between 1 and 2 runs is really indescribably huge against en elite closer. Solo homer, unearned run, manufactured run...all doable when down by 1. Down 2? You actually have to put something together. Tyner would be the 4th best player on the White Sox right now.

QUOTE(G&T @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:21 AM) That's a homer if its Mack. Mackowiak would have knocked that over?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:21 AM) Seriously...I just have to say...THANK GOD MACKOWIAK WASN'T IN FOR THAT. I don't know...Anderson almost non-chalanted that into a 3 run homer.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:20 AM) Teams steal on the Sox like they're a little league team, with no throw. Maybe they should petition the league that they can't leave the base until the ball crosses home. It's inexcusable for the Sox to keep playing with this mentality. These pitchers don't strike out a lot of guys, so they need to do a better job at holding the runners.

It's funny, but outside of hitting homers, the Twins are so much better than us in every imaginable aspect.

Super! We're getting outhustled and outmanaged more than I can ever remember.

Remember when Jenks used to get that curve over the plate? He's thrown so many that have been above the hitter's head recently.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:17 AM) 1.5 out of the wild card, that's pretty bad. No reason to say this right now. This type of post is what pisses some people off at you.

This game's about to get out of reach. I wish our leadoff hitter had half of the baseball IQ that Castillo does.

This is so freaking comical. Ozzie refuses to manage....would a pitch-out be so difficult?

Well...that run's going to score. The disappointing offensive AND defensive season continues for Uribe.

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:11 AM) you people need to relax... we are down 1 run with our offense and how we have done vs closers this season we definitely have a chance. We're facing our "Rivera".

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 02:10 AM) Actaully we scored on him this year, but whatever, Was it in a non-save situation? At least we'll get JD to the plate.
