QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 05:45 PM) Great, cause we know how well Jenks does when he doesn't have the late inning adrenaline. Maybe he'll get angry the next time he's put in for the 5th inning.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 05:49 PM) Bobby Borowski Joe Jenks Todd Jenks Bobby Jones I'm confused as to which one it is. Can't you fit the word "Lidge" in there?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 05:44 PM) It's just annoying that he got hitters out on Thursday night by throwing almost all offspeed pitches. Today, Castro only called for 2 of them. He did hang the one to Kubel, but would have been nice to see a change-up thrown to someone. I count 5 pitches at

Yeah, he flat out didn't care who he was throwing that ball to.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 05:25 PM) Being down 3-1 and rallying to a 6-3 lead is rolling over like a dog? Buy a clue. Giving up 4 runs in the 9th on 0 outs, that's pretty much rolling over and barking.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 05:25 PM) Not that it really was a big deal and most likely only delayed the inevitable, and saved Jenks an earned run, but who exactly was Rios throwing the ball to? I don't think he cared.

Just checking...Santos gets credited with the Blown Save there right, so Greg can keep telling us how few saves Bobby has blown?

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 05:19 PM) Just hit a slam and get it over with That was more appropriate of an ending than a slam.

Sigh.

Ouch. Ball off Thornton's leg. Hope he's ok.

I like that guy at SS

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 04:25 PM) Nice to see our best vs. their best. Yeah, this is 100% the right matchup even if Mauer wins it.

(Deep breath). Yowza...thank the stars Kotsay was in at 1b.

Nice pitch there for strike 2.

STOP THROWING BALLS

Do not like leaving him in now.

Man, that pitch has been a strike all day.

Nice range Rivers.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 04:06 PM) Hopefully it's nothing serious with Quentin. Doesn't seem like it is. Ugh, Garcia's being left in to die. I bet you he just hit that wrist on the ground on the slide.

QUOTE (IamtheHBOMB @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 04:04 PM) Yea, I know that is probably how it will go -- even though Jeter doesn't deserve it. Andrus has gotten a lot of publicity too.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 04:00 PM) This is not an "I told you, so." But to those who wanted Gordon sent down, can't you see now that that decision is not right for every struggling second year player? He's figured it out apparently by himself and rode out the storm. I'll say, I'm glad it worked. Took bloody long enough though. I can fire back though...the other one could have worked too. Anyway, time to start the campaign to send Kotsay down.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:58 PM) Beckham deserves these hits falling after all those outs earlier in the year. Because he's hitting them hard.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 18, 2010 -> 03:58 PM) It's still the 6th. Good point.

Pierre almost successfully turned into that first pitch.

Becktackular!
