I love Pablo. He's so awesome.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 07:12 PM) We give the Count the lead...3 up and 3 down goes Tampa Bay. He must feel pretty strange out there. Rarely does he get a lead to play with this year. Who knows if he'll keep it, but our run support for him has been awful. And I know he had an early 2-0 in Oakland, but that was in Oakland.

STEALLLLLLLLLLL

I love how we battle and wait for our pitch.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 06:32 PM) Another 'teacup' strikezone tonight!! It'd be sweet if some of our guys could be patient and take advantage of that, but we aren't that kind of team.

Man, it seems like TB always has someone on against us. There is always someone in scoring position.

QUOTE(whitesoxjr27 @ Jul 6, 2005 -> 06:14 PM) just got home. guess the count is pitching like s*** already. Not really. Crawford got jammed. Just fell in. Carl was playing deep. Struck out Lugo, Popped up Cantu. Just left a ball a little out over the plate that an extremely hot hitter crushed.

Huff too.

Crawford owns us.

Unreal. GA is a beast.

Garret Anderson is nasty. 6-5 Angels. Santana has an ERA near 4!

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 08:17 PM) 1-0 Twins Top 1 RBI single by Mauer Ugh. Gonna be an interesting few days before the break, especially depending on tonight's results. They get to go to KC extremely hot, while we have to play Oakland. Tonight, the Twinks are facing Santana, who shut us out, and they already have a run.

Nice. That guy gave up like 9 runs in 2/3 inning a couple weeks ago.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 07:38 PM) Well, we got 12 outs to change that. Yep, and considering The DRays have the worst bullpen in the league, it should get done. No excuses against a team this bad, especially with Oakland coming into town this weekend.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 5, 2005 -> 07:36 PM) And we haven't lost to KC. We're 8.5 up. Minny has only lost to KC once. Not much different. This would be a third loss to TB.

This sucks. Minnesota hasn't lost to this freaking team all year.

This is embarassing. This guy has retired 8 in a row, and he has a 6 ERA.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 4, 2005 -> 10:12 PM) This game should have been in the hands of Cotts, Cliff, and Hermanson for the last two innings. Why is it that when Ozzie has a bad managing game, it just seems to snowball that entire game? If one of those guys comes in and get ths save, then he has saved one of those very important guys for the next couple of games by letting Shingo go 1 more. It was a good gamble.

Great job by Shingo. It's tough to be out there that long for him, but we need him. He got the job done over 2.1 innings.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jul 4, 2005 -> 10:07 PM) But seriously are you going to take a sample size of 8 innings, or have a look at the way he's thrown at B-Ham and Charlotte over the last season and a half? I'm not saying what I would do. Just trying to look at what he's thinking. They might be kind of jittery because we've had a lot of guys throw extremely extremely well in the minors the past couple of years only to come up and absolutely suck at the big league level.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 4, 2005 -> 10:03 PM) Baj gets guys out. I'm not saying he's gonna be a star in the bullpen, but he can be effective. I dunno, this is the same organization that didn't like how Chad Bradford threw, either... Who knows. Maybe they are scared of the fact that he gave up 21 base runners in 8 innings last year in a non pressure situation

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 4, 2005 -> 09:57 PM) He's not really raw, he's just excessively wild, he's rough mentally and has shaky past. Well, we love guys who can't throw strikes.

QUOTE(WSoxMatt @ Jul 4, 2005 -> 09:46 PM) 7-5 Twins Hopefully they choke out on the west like we do, though it's unlikely, especially since they are heating up. Need to win 5 out of 6 this week considering they have 4 at KC at the end of the week.

Crede takes his time.

Our players hate walks with a passion.
