Man Pierre, you couldn't get it on a ball in the dirt that he had to backhand? S***.

They think he's going right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 08:48 PM) I wish Viciedo got to bat here and go for the homer. Pierre needs to steal 2b and then we can go with whatever.

Pierre needs to be on 2nd.

Wow.

Don't sacrifice bunt with 1 out!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 08:46 PM) Holy cow, stop trying to pull everything! Somewhere, SSI is throwing darts at Greg Walker's face. That was a pullable pitch.

Could we see 2 complete games this night?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 08:42 PM) All year The Sox are the #7 home offense in the AL. .792 OPS. (AL average is .765 OPS at home) The Sox are the #8 road offense in the AL. .697 OPS (AL Average is .717 OPS on the road).

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 08:41 PM) Buehrle pitching well...hopefully one bad inning doesn't cost him the loss. BTW, somewhere in this game thread you hit 60k.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 08:39 PM) Anyone have the offensive splits for home/road? For what, the team? The team for some month?

Kotsay's trying to get tossed.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 08:35 PM) That's like the 5th weak grounder to 3rd tonight. Terrible approach against Pavano tonight. If you don't pull that low and away pitch, you have a small penis.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 08:33 PM) good lord WGN has missed the first pitch or two of EVERY inning so far.... Hawk actually complained about the Crew Chief starting the innings before their allotted TV break time earlier this game.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 08:30 PM) I do In that case, you're right...assuming Morneau does come back at some point.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 08:29 PM) Shades of April and May where the starting pitcher would get 7-10 batters retired in a row. The great news is that this is the first time I can remember that happening in a long time. Liriano had 2 streaks of 7 consecutive retired last night.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 08:28 PM) Tigers aren't nearly the threat the Twins are during the 2nd half of the season. Only if you think the Twins will trade for a pitcher and the Tigers won't.

Gartrell with a HR.

So many outs, so little time.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 08:22 PM) That game ended like 15 minutes ago. I think it actually sped up in the 2nd half.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 08:21 PM) Haha, excellent point. Well, the 5th inning took like 6 minutes. The Rays/Yankees game started at 4:00 here. I left to go do some brief shopping, got home about 5:45. It was the top of the 4th inning of that game when I got home.

That was a fast 5th inning. They could have fit about 4 of those into a single inning of that Rays/Yankees game.

Has the Twins catcher gone out to the mound tonight? It feels like a totally different game today.

That, was, fast.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) Yep, just don't want to see him develop any bad habits or start doubting himself. He's probably telling everyone he feels ok because that's what you're supposed to do, but what happened to Ozzie's old "you take yourself out of the lineup 1 day, and you sit the next day" rule? He'll probably prove me wrong by killing a ball later, but I don't think that a bruise like I'm sure he had after that HBP heals in 24 hours.
