Jose!

WE GOT JACKSON OUT!

QUOTE (farmteam @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 12:06 PM) Two thoughts come to mind. Thought 1: Thought 2: Well, he'd be better than Selig. "I trust MLB Commissioner Bush when he says he'll find the steroid users, even if he has to wiretap everyone in America". -Al Gore on SNL.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 17, 2012 -> 10:00 AM) Wasn't it a one score lead? What if they jarred the ball loose and recovered? Yes, but they would have needed to basically return the ball to the end zone.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Sep 16, 2012 -> 07:00 PM) Man, the Bucs coaching for whatever reason kept selling out on the blitz and left those DBs out by themselves and got burned all second half. I would rather take my chances on Manning nickel and dime his way down the field than let him get 20 yards a pop. Bears fans will tell you this is a mistake. After all, Rodgers got a touchdown against that defense this week.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Sep 16, 2012 -> 06:40 PM) I'd like to congratulate Gostkowski for possibly single-handedly costing me $5500. f***ing great. I hate the Patriots so much that they can't even win when I have money on it. That's an impressive amount of money.

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Sep 16, 2012 -> 06:53 PM) Thank you Valverde! I'm much more confident going into tomorrow up 2 games! Valverde's pitched in 5 of their last 6 games and probably won't be available tomorrow. Benoit will be, but probably no Valverde.

Woo offense.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 16, 2012 -> 04:09 PM) Would be nice if the Indians offense could do something....anything. You're rooting for the wrong thing. You have to root for the Tigers defense. It's how you score against them.

Indians tie game!

Impressive loss for the Patriots...Arizona hands them the game and Gostkowski hooks the FG.

H. Christ. 510 passing yards for Eli Manning.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 16, 2012 -> 04:02 PM) Perdomo and now Swarzak might be seeing their last games in Twins' uniforms. Kyle Waldrop in to try to stem the bleeding. For a moment I thought I'd stumbled into a Nascar thread.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 16, 2012 -> 04:00 PM) Way to go Wizie with Sac Fly but we still need more! Ask and ye shall receive.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 16, 2012 -> 03:58 PM) You could argue we should have done the same thing with Beckham, were it not for the need to win now and having no other MLB-ready 2B. Beckham was brought up because we didn't have an MLB caliber 3b actually. Once he was up and spent 3 months destroying the ball it seemed crazy to send him down.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 16, 2012 -> 03:52 PM) But CQ's salary didn't fit into our payroll. The end. Then again, you can make the argument we shouldn't have resigned Danks (your plan to keep Buehrle)...but still, it was Dayan's time to get an opportunity to play everyday. Eh...Dayan could have still benefitted from another year in Charlotte given that he had that bad wrist he dealt with all year last year...but bringing him up and letting him learn in the bigs was a reasonable thing to do if you're cutting $25 million+ off of payroll.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 16, 2012 -> 03:48 PM) Which probably means KW will deal him this offseason, haha. I wouldn't be mad. That would clear $25 million+, and although it would hurt us next year, we do have OF talent working its way up.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 16, 2012 -> 03:46 PM) HOLY s***! VICIEDO! The impressive thing there was him getting around and turning around a high inside fastball. That's one of his weaker pitches. Yeah Diamond isn't throwing 99, but still...that's one of the pitches he needs to hit better.

Viciedo making things easy on Robin.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 16, 2012 -> 03:41 PM) It depends on the pitch count and Adam of course just gave some valuable insurance with the blast. Peavy's only thrown 85 pitches

Baseball just hit plane...

Bye bye baseball

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 16, 2012 -> 03:38 PM) Now you're left with the equally interesting decision to pull Peavy and have Veal face Mauer and Morneau to lead off the bottom of the 6th. You almost have to do it if you're Ventura, POSSIBLY a one run lead, Mauer perforated some eardrums with his last drive off the base of the CF wall and homered oppo. I'd still let Peavy face Mauer. Even with 18 pitchers, tomorrow's the bigger game we need. Worst Mauer can do is tie it.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Sep 16, 2012 -> 03:38 PM) Who would get the runs for that? Anyone who ate their veal way undercooked
