Damn, terrific stop by Mauer.

Ozzie, if he plays his cards right, can get a situation where Neshek, who sucks vs lefties, will have to face AJP or Thome.

Take 3 Juan

These are some pretty nasty pitches Reyes is missing with.

If they bring a righty in, we'd probably see Pods.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 01:52 AM) If Uribe bats against Neshek with Cintron or AJP on the bench Ozzie should just quit. You made me laugh, as I was thinking the same.

Take 2 Ross.

Not the missed hanging slider show like last night again.

Neshek is warming up. Thome or AJP should be brought in if he's on the mound.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 01:49 AM) ^^^^

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 01:48 AM) CF defense really comes into play now. IF ROB MACKOWIAK EVER PLAYS CF AGAIN, OZZIE AND KW SHOULD BE FIRED AND SENT TO THE MENTAL WARD IMMEDIATELY. It's honestly amazing. I'm of the opinion he should lose his job over this...but I'm not a good poster.

Damn, that ball was crushed. Keep the leg kick PK!

Cotts is warming up. Here comes that 3 run homer by the Twins in the 9th.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 01:45 AM) I love it when we strike out with crap bounced in the dirt. Take a large long cut on every pitch, dont cheat yourself. The twins hitter would of slapped a 2 strike pitch into play. We wouldn't have thrown a slider in that situation.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 01:43 AM) The tying run always comes to the plate. I'd love to see Thome put one on the board to tie it up. I can't believe Ozzie said he was out of the game last night. Even if he's in a wheelchair, you don't show your cards like that. The threat of him on the bench could impact the way Gardenhire manages.

According to the PFB, confidence >>>>>>>> wins

I'd laugh my ass off if we lost by one run, as you know Ozzie would find a way to point out how crucial Hunter's homer was.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 01:39 AM) Wait till the pink fuzzy bunny Chris Rongey spins this pile of dung tonight. I cant wait for the show. Lets see if I can make it past the screener tonight. I'll save you the time: - Contreras just needs to get his confidence back. You don't win 17 straight games without confidence. - Ozzie played a hunch, and put Mackowiak in CF. Ozzie has sheltered Anderson from good pitchers all season, and he's just trying to keep Anderson's confidence up. - You can't put McCarthy into the rotation, because if he struggles, then his confidence will go down.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 01:39 AM) HE GAWN This is one of those things that makes me happy, yet pisses me off, at the same time.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 01:37 AM) I predict the Tigers pitching falls down to earth next year. The Indians will be better, and the Twins will always be tough. I really don't like the long-term financial commitment the Sox have to their rotation. I hope at least 2 and hopefully 3 are sent packing this winter. Maybe sign a free agent or 2, and get some top prospects since even mediocre pitching is in demand. The Sox could set themselves up for several years if they make the right moves. I think the Tigers will spend a lot of money though in the offseason. Also, they have some real good young pitching prospects. Also, Kenny Rogers could be 50, and we still can't beat him. We're going to have some issues in the division as long as we can't beat C.C., Johan, Liriano, Bernero and Rogers.

MODS, PLZ, CAN WE JUST DELETE THIS SERIES

Good AB by Iguchi. I love how he keeps playing vs LHP, and only sits vs RHP. Is it too much to ask for Mackowiak/Gload or Ozuna/Gload as our 1-2 hitters?

DJ...it's hard for Iguchi to be a late inning specialist when he gets PH for.

Maybe Gardenhire will bring in Eyre.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 01:30 AM) While it is nice to pretend we may get a new manager, it is depressing to think that he is likely going no w here for a few more years. And the division is only going to get tougher. QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 27, 2006 -> 01:31 AM) I love Sweet Lou. He's very intense. I loved him ever since he wrestled Dibble and told him he wasn't a man. Hawk would have a 9 inning erection every game if Lou was the manager.
