Timo for Iguchi? Go f*** yourself Ozzie. BTW, that was the worst non-balk call I've ever seen.

Well, this isn't predictable. We just can't f***ing beat the Twins in the 2nd half of the season. 7 game lead, here we come. Hey KW....get us some f***ing offense!

Tampa down 1, 2 outs in the 9th.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 02:01 AM) 2 outs thats why, no gappers, nothing over your head True, but this is Ozuna, who hasn't hit anything close to going deep this year.

BTW, Crede should be in at 3b now.

And Crisp makes a diving catch to get the first out in the bottom of the 9th.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 02:00 AM) Nothing but a great game tonight. I'd love to be a casual fan just watching this game. What I want to know is why in the world were the Twins playing Pablo so deep?

Not only that, but Tampa just barely missed tying the game on a homer.

Son of a f***ing b****. That's as far as Ozuna can hit a ball.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:57 AM) But just look at in if you were a Twins fan. You would be on the side of the bridge...... I think the reason so many of us are getting antsy is our expectations were sky high for so long this season. Hell, Twins fans probably think they have a solid chance of making up 10.5 games against the Sox. If the situations were reversed, I doubt many of us would even think we had a chance in hell of making up 10.5 games.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:57 AM) who starts in teh playoffs (if we get there) buerhle in game 1 for sure prolly, but who game 2??? i give the nod to freddy, and even before this i would have cuz i think he has more experience than garland Worry about that s*** if we make it. Knowing Ozzie, we'll be surprised I'm sure if they make it.

We need one base runner in order to guarantee PK batting again this game. Sadly, he's my only hope for offense.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:54 AM) Question. Since there has been endless b****ing tonight about the O, why is everyone so scared of Minny coming back to win the wildcard/divison? We have outhit them tonight obviously, and as of tonight, it looks like Freddy is the better pitcher against the Twins than Santana over the Sox. What are the Twins thinking?? Garcia is having an amazing night, as is Santana. However, during the 2nd half of the season, Santana has been the far superior pitcher. Personally, I'm a lot more worried about the Indians and their dynamic offense.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:53 AM) lol totally forgot about D'Angelo. I'll still have a special place in my heart for Jimenez and his game winning single against the Cubs.

Good inning Garcia. Is it too much to ask for M. Ryan to lose a ball in the dome ceiling?

QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:52 AM) yeah, he will be the second guy over .280 (.282) I guess the playoffs will be the time to test the "good pitching beats good hitting" theorem, huh? Well, my only hope is we get there in order to test that theory.

I don't care if these guys get a hit this inning, just no homers.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:51 AM) Aslong as he doesn't strike out looking twice a game. You mean D. Jimenez Jr.?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:50 AM) Santana, your Cy Young Award is waiting............ No kidding. I can't believe some people still think Halladay will win. Santana is basically on the same tear he was last year.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:50 AM) I think the only chance is if Freddy shuts them down until Minnesota goes to the bullpen. They look like they should be in the little league against Santana. Problem is, Santana is only at 80 pitches. He can easily go 2 more innings. Our best bet is to get PK up. I can't imagine the Twins would pitch to him though in a game-deciding situation.

QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:49 AM) Pablo Ozuna is the only healthy guy on our team hitting over .280 Don't worry, once Pods gets back, we'll be fine.......

Good thing Dye made that catch, because he's been worthless this month at the plate. Tough inning for Garcia here with Babe Mauer at the dish.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:48 AM) A scratch-and-claw run might make the difference tonight. I don't like our chances at that. Our best chance is hitting a homer.

Pathetic ABs for Rowand tonight, who usually looks comfortable vs lefties.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Aug 24, 2005 -> 01:46 AM) Keep in mind this is Johan Santana, folks. That is all. I said earlier how great he is. Still, 2 hits in 7 innings is pathetic no matter who you're facing.
