Iguchi was extremely close to getting taken out big time right there. Thankfully, Abernathy backed off at the last second.

Wow, excellent! Not quite sure why Stewart wasn't bunting.

It's situations like this where Stewart has just killed us since he became a Twins player.

That tie game doesn't look like it's going to last long.

Watch out for the hit-and-run.

Wouldn't it be great for a Sox player to take a level swing like Cuddyer just did there?

It would be just swell if Garcia can shut down the Twins this inning.

QUOTE(tony72 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 01:11 AM) I heard the Sox were bringing in someone to help the hitters with their swings..? Who, Tiger Woods?

Griffey's OPS against righties is almost .200 pts higher than Rowand. Where's he going to play?

QUOTE(tony72 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 01:10 AM) Hawk is covering the Sox ass if they don't land Griffey ... I honestly think Hawk is KW's mouthpiece.

AJP has gone back to his uppercut swing.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 01:08 AM) im not watchin, can you enlighten me Basically a heartbeat away from going off of Boers and Bernstein. Hawk just asked where would Griffey play again. Meanwhile, Everett's hitting about .240 vs rhp.

Here goes Hawk again

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 01:04 AM) but the catcher should know its coming, right? Doesn't matter, when it just spikes in the dirt coming from Garcia's cross-body arm angle, it's tough to block.

Wohoo!! About time we got one of those bloopers.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 01:00 AM) i didnt see the WP right there, but has anyone noticed, and it happens mostly when freddy is on the bump, that AJ doesnt block the ball to his right. seems like he tries to stab at it with the mit. its really the only thing i can say anything about with AJ. just seems he doesnt block the fastball to his right as well as other catchers, and lets some balls that most catchers would get to get by him Garcia's arm angle on his slider makes a lot of his pitches in the dirt impossible to block.

Timo gave me a thrill! Now, don't do anything stupid on the bases, and I won't hate you so much. Wait a second, I'm lying. I'll always dislike Timo.

Give 'em a thrill Timo!

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 12:57 AM) I'm not saying that at all. If we got swept you think it would be this terrible thing. They would think, "oh well, it happens, lets go get the next team." If it was anyone but the Twins, I would agree. We have more games left this season against them than anyone else.

Good job by Garcia of making the accurate throw. Big batter in this game in Ryan here.

Indians just took a 5-2 lead. That game looks to be a win for them.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 12:54 AM) YOU may not have that faith, but I think they do. THey definately don't look at day to day games like we do. Yep, getting swept by the Twins in August sure will do wonders for the Sox's confidence.

2 dinks and a blast? Lets get out of this Garcia.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 17, 2005 -> 12:51 AM) Thats fine for you and me, but I don't think players think like that. Why should there be a sense of urgency when you have a 12 game lead in August? Why not just wait to have that sense of urgency in the 3rd week of September. But I don't think they aren't playing hard. THey just aren't playing well. There's a sense of urgency because one bad stretch of games against the Twins, and this lead can go from 15 to 6 or 7 very fast. We still have a fairly tough schedule the rest of the way against some very good hitting teams. I have no faith in our ability to outslug teams.

Indians have bases loaded, no outs in a tie game in the 7th after 3 infield hits/errors.
