QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2010 -> 01:23 PM) And Kubel just hit a grand slam. I hope Juan Samuel isn't planning on managing in the majors again. He had the 2nd baseman covering 2nd on a steal attempt with a lefty at the plate, and resulted in an easy single into the hole for Casilla. I saw that. How in the world do you have good reasoning for that?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 09:47 PM) Every time you intentionally bring in the "wing man" who is a friend to use her in a manipulative way, it never works. One can only be so "strategic" in this...if it happens naturally, that's the only time it is really effective, that girls will notice each other and recognize instinctually that another is circling "their" territory and they have to decide whether the fight or flight response is necessary. As noted, some girls want their guy to stay single, even though they don't really want to date him...it's strange, like that movie My Best Friend's Wedding, even where the guy has a fiance, he still doesn't want another man to be with his friend, even if nothing has ever happened between them romantically. I've never had much luck with a wing man before either. They always end up looking and acting better than me! But that's not very hard to do it seems!

Twins starting lineup today does not have Span, Hudson, Mauer, and Morneau. Obviously Morneau hasn't been playing but missing those 4 players in your lineup today to start the game is big. Please get a win Baltimore!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 04:52 PM) Sox need to go 5-2 vs Seattle/Oakland next week though. It blows we have to face Felix on Monday night. Agreed.

So far we're 4-4 on this road trip. I know witht he way we were playing going into the All-Star break, it would've been nice to win more games. But I'll still take a 5-5 trip on the road. So if we can't come back today hopefully we can get a win tomorrow.

thanks for giving us an out Oakland.

hey they broke the so called rule on swinging at the first pitch after back to back homers. what's that about? haha

oh fun stuff

happy birthday

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 04:39 PM) This has been an extreemly slow game. 1.5 hours for 3 innings - at that rate a 9 inning game would take what... 4.5 hours. That's nuts!! Sounds like a Yankees/Red Sox game, but Rose and Grace wouldn't be complaining about the pace of their game.

Rose and Grace are idiots, I might need to mute it.

QUOTE (mcgrad70 @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 04:17 PM) When Pena comes in, the air of surrender always accompanies him....The Sox don't have anyone in their farm system that can get 3 people out in an inning without the opposition scoring> What an indictment. alright then

nice play Beckham.

they nullified our home run

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2010 -> 03:58 PM) That's probably the 10th time he's tried that slap bunt, and every time, the 3rd baseman easily makes the play. If anything, he should try and slap it down the 3rd base line. I liked it when Pods did that.

Cleveland up on Minnesota 6-1 in the 5th.

that strike out was as predictable as can be for Konerko.

what's his deal? seems like he's been getting thrown out a lot lately.

Steal Juan. Please.

Come on guys. Let's get fired up here.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 07:28 PM) Tigers aren't nearly the threat the Twins are during the 2nd half of the season. Yeah if I had to worry about one of those two team it's definitely the Twins.

that's not good, you didn't need to help him out PK.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 10:18 PM) Gordon, how do you not score? not worth the risk I suppose. or maybe he thought it was going to be a hit too. EDIT: I'm dumb they're not going to try to get him out at home.

shoot, I thought Rios had a hit there.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 16, 2010 -> 10:14 PM) couldnt happen to a nicer pitcher lol that's great
