QUOTE(southsider17 @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 09:03 AM) He's lost to Santana already this year. Let's hope he evens it out. He lost that game because he made 1 bad pitch. To Torii Hunter. Mark had an amazing June and a bad July. He's still been above-average in August. Hopefully he got whatever bad game he had left out of his system in Boston.

1. Paulie beat the tag. 2. Paulie slowed down between 1st and 2nd to make sure the throw wasn't going straight to 2nd - if they had done that he'd have been meat even if he'd been flooring it. Those are the only 2 parts I care about.

Family Guy. 24. The Simpsons.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Aug 16, 2005 -> 09:21 AM) Now...I'm glad they are saying to not eat your own s*** & piss but I'm concerned about one thing. They said not to do it in front of others -- does that mean it is okay for them to do it when they are alone then? Usually you can actually still drink urine 1 time and get some hydration from it, in the event you're totally dying of lack of water. In wartime, it can keep you alive.

C'Mon, need a K here.

1st walk of the game...now the trouble starts.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 05:58 PM) Yes, with certain guys like Timo, if he's had success vs the pitcher, he'll play him. I guarantee you that Timo is playing tomorrow. It actually worked last time we played Radke...Timo took him deep.

50 pitches for Lohse, no outs in the 3rd.

Get em on...check. Get em over....

Leadoff double for the Blum-ster.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 05:49 PM) I haven't seen many forkballs by Contreras. Seems to be going with the fastball and sidearm slider. Which is why he has 0 BB's thus far.

and that is that. 2 out single does no damage. Good start for Jose.

1st hit of the game for either team there.

6 up, 6 down for Jose. 29 pitches for Lohse. 25 for Jose. In 2 innings.

Lohse having trouble getting together with Mauer...here comes pitch 27 this inning.

Wow, PK has only hit into 7 DP's this year according to Rooney. That's impressive and shocking.

Carl walks, 1st and 2nd, 1 out...Big Paulie coming up...ugh with a man on 2nd.... 20 pitches thus far this inning for Lohse. No Double Plays paul!

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 05:18 PM) And he gets plunked on the hand! That one was a 9 pitch at bat, he had a couple of those against both Boston and New York. He's definately doing something different...a week ago he was never getting this deep into counts.

Well, I'd say to Jose that we shouldn't retaliate...but he'll probably hit a couple guys anyway...so let's just hope it ain't on purpose.

Uribe has had some looooong at bats lately.

QUOTE(Mr. Chairman @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 05:07 PM) Has he even started shaving yet? I am not even sure he's older than most posters here. He'll be fine, long-term. Take Piazza and Ivan off the roids and Mauer's all-natural production will look hella impressive down the line. Just remember...I believe he was drafted before a couple guys named Prior and Teixiera, so comparisons with those 2 are pretty valid.

He Gawn. Gaaaaaaaaasssssssss.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 05:01 PM) Just f***ing Great, The extra innings package has the Twins broadcast tonite! I hate those douchbags!!!! Sounds like a good reason for me to stay in my office for another hour with Rooney & Farmio.

Gosh, Mauer's only hitting .294 with 8 home runs this year. Guess he's developing slower than they thought.

QUOTE(winodj @ Aug 15, 2005 -> 04:23 PM) If the U.S. was dealing with 70 bombings a day across the country, do you think we should be focusing our reporting on the opening of a new school? You know, from now on whenever I hear someone throw out one of those "They're not covering the good things in Iraq" stories, I think I'm going to respond "Yeah, but they're not covering 65 out of the 70 attacks on U.S. forces per day either".
