Twinkies about to score.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 06:44 PM) Well that's not good. Are they saying he's day-to-day? Kerry Sayers said it on Comcast, but no word if it's day to day. They said he was a late scratch.

Apparently, it's not from HBP. He tweaked something in batting practice.

Mussina is something like 20-2 against the Twins with a low 2/high 1 ERA. So that means the Twins will win anyway tonight. We better rip the Royals a new one.

Lets get the party, on what should be a 3 game sweep, started right. Rip'em!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 08:40 PM) Okay...I am just saying, compared to Wasserman or Carrasco or someone of their ilk, he has a much better raw arsenal...it's just not polished, and he is definitely a work in progress. However, I wouldn't put him in the Jon Adkins category just yet, either. You're right, Lance Broadway has the Jon Adkins category all locked up.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 08:40 PM) Twins are in great position to win 7 or 8 of their next 9 games. Well they're in great position for the rest of the season. Their schedule is very favorable.

Throw to the left side of the plate. That's the only strike this god awful ump is calling.

9th double. We wasted a couple of bullpen arms. I'm not blaming this on Ozzie, but I am blaming him for tomorrow when he says we have a tired bullpen. He should've left Horacio in there, but took him out for no reason.

That sucked. We're getting squeezed on this strike zone though.

It's sad because we definitely have no reason as to why we lost this game.

Wow that outside corner is being called hard.

Wow, Crisp gets tons of bad reads on balls. Is the wind blowing in? I ask because alot of balls look like they're hit hard, but they end up being way shorter then what I think they should be.

Pitch is down the middle and Cabrera raises his arms as if it was going to hit him. Um, wtf? s*** was a cookie.

Wow, nice dive by CQ on a sharp liner hit by Youk

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 08:12 PM) I guess down the cock isnt a strike anymore. Not with this ump. He's been pretty terrible.

BTW, I think Uribe was distracted when Cabrera was still chasing the ball after Uribe tried to call him off.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 08:09 PM) I was trying to figure out that single by reading the desc. on game day, What happened? Ball hit right on the inside of the 3B line, twists Uribe around while he's charging for it and Cabrera is chasing it down too and calls off Uribe, but apparently not enough for Uribe to still try to turn around and catch the ball which falls just inside the line for a base hit.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 08:09 PM) Very likely that run will score. Show some leadership OC and call off Uribe! Ramirez isn't doing anything bad. Why the f*** are we taking him out.

f***.

If we don't score this inning, we're screwed. We're not getting anything off of Papelbon. I do agree, Danks is getting screwed by our offense again.

We need a Uribe HR.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 07:59 PM) I guess that flew over your head... I guess that flew over your head...

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 07:52 PM) Sad thing is...the pitch that Youkillis got a hit on was a GOOD Pitch...Youkillis just muscled it. I think Danks kinda lost his mojo after that despite the strikeout of Bay. Yeah, I really didn't like his expression after Youk muscled the crap out of that ball. Seemed like he got down on himself for it.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 07:57 PM) What is this, a Cubs broadcast? No a WCIU one.
