QUOTE (beckham15 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:45 PM) pinch hit for who? we have quentin, paulie, and jones up He's trying to replace Pierre when he grounded out last inning.

Bulls had a 7 point lead with 1:09 on the clock, with 0:11 on the clock, it's back to tied.

You can tell that Thornton's feeling tired because it actually looks like he's putting effort into throwing.

QUOTE (daggins @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:39 PM) Nix -> Kotsay in the field. Replacing the LF?

TPain warming

That was an awful looking swing by Span.

The leadoff walk in his 2nd inning is exactly what we expect from a closer.

Thornton coming in for Span.

I do like the idea of Vizquel being the guy fielding the bunt.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:31 PM) Have to say on gameday at least, the pitching zone has been bigger for the Twins than the Whitesox, although last game in Cleveland it was the opposite. It hasn't been all that blatant to me. Last night was a disaster, but it was a disaster both ways. The guy at home's been OK in my eyes.

Santos with the leadoff walk now

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:30 PM) Why, he hit the ball well last year It's infectious.

QUOTE (jasonxctf @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:29 PM) pods started off well this year too. He'd be hitless if he were in Chicago. You all know that.

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:26 PM) Have you ever seen such a 1-sided affair with regards to the umpiring crew, for one team and against another? I swear to god any Ump Crew that has Phil Cuzzi on it is almost a guaranteed screw-job to the Sox ?

That ball would have managed to fall, somehow, if Morneau had hit it.

I think Beckham needs to bunt here.

Bulls blow the lead on Rose unable to hit a FT.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:22 PM) Make up call on that double? That ball was clearly fair, it hit the line right in front of the ump. This was the right call.

That's just fine by me.

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:21 PM) bunting a guy to 3rd with 1 out is something i'm definitely not opposed to, but i hate bunting a basestealer to 2nd base, i don't care if a lefty is pitching, let him steal Alexei was a good SB threat in ST. With the lefty up they probably won't run him, I wonder if they thought about that though. How about a hit and run here Ozzie?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:20 PM) doubt it ....AJ isn't much of a bunter and he can get around and hook it Yeah, worst case scenario AJ should be able to pull the ball.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 10:19 PM) Uh oh, you guys may get mad. A bunt coming??? Wouldn't mind the bunt here at all if Lucy stayed in. Don't want AJ bunting.

Alexei...YES!

Miller, Noah, and Rose down the stretch with a big surge to keep the season alive.

Ok offense...get a couple of hits, and let's earn Santos a beer shower.
