QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 09:31 PM) That kind of happened the other night. Austin Jackson had a liner hit directly at him, he ran too far in, froze like a deer in the headlights and it flew over his head and opened up the door to a big inning. Actually, the Tigers' defense, it happened again in the 5th inning in the 1st game, and the tying run scored was a huge gift as well, even though they should have done a lot more with bases-loaded and no outs, we got to wipe out some of their bullpen and rattled Valverde and Villarreal with today's results. At the start of the doubleheader, Scherzer (6-7) was back on the mound after leaving his previous start after two innings with shoulder fatigue. The right-hander couldn't get his normally high-90s fastball past 93, but was good enough to hold Minnesota scoreless for five innings only to be let down by his team's shoddy defense. "He's still got great stuff, even if he wasn't throwing 97," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He's got the great change, a great breaking ball and everything is moving all over the place. We really had to be patient with him." Despite the diminished velocity, Scherzer insisted he isn't worried about making his final two starts, including game 162. "They kept me rested this week, so maybe that's why I didn't have my normal zip," he said. "Now I'll be back on the regular program, so hopefully that will get things back to normal." www.espn.com No, it hasn't happened yet. When it happened in 05, the sox took off. It was like the pressure disappeared.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 01:54 PM) My Catholic grade school gym teacher was a big scary guy with a biker mustache and his last name was Thanos, so Thanos being announced as a central character in the upcoming round of Marvel films gets four thumbs up from me. At its best, the Roy Thomas, Jim Starlin, etc., classic cosmic Marvel material was some of the best stuff I ever read so I am starting to get excited about where these films can go. I didn't realize that until recently Starlin was basically cut out of all recognition

Can we end the Hester package project? please?

It's nice to see Wooten contributing.

QUOTE (MAX @ Sep 23, 2012 -> 01:09 PM) Never knew John Lynch was born in Hinsdale, like me. Too bad there won't be another one like him with these rules. Was fun to watch. I will never forget when he trucked his brother in law John Allred. That basically ended his career, not due to injury but rather irrelevancy

Peppers is such a awesome player to watch. His impact doesn't always show up in the box score, but you can see the impact when watching him play

Big game jake

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 09:37 PM) Sounds like a cliche to me. That crazy owner got what he deserves. A horrible team. Everything I've read about Loria is negative. Ozzie was a moron to take the money and run to that organization. He's better off fired and going into broadcasting for a year or two. He'll have a nice bit of money to live on since he has a ton of years left on his contract. Sounds like a typical greg775 post that never puts the blame at Ozzies feet

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 09:00 PM) How so? They never had a chance in that division. It was poor FA signings from day one. I didn't say they should have won the division, I said they should have been more competitive. That team laid down

QUOTE (Wanne @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 07:52 PM) Ozzie set the stage for the season with the whole Castro fiasco and his mouth. SODD. Karma is a b****... SODD?

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 05:27 PM) It's somewhat true. They DID give out a ton of bad money. That team should have been a hell of a lot more competitive than they were. They played lazy and that's on ozzie

Im sure Cowley is busy writing his defense of Ozzie as this is going on. "Beinfest didnt give Ozzie a team to compete. He didnt have a chance"

http://www.fishstripes.com/2012/9/21/33677...ing-mike-lowell Ha, if the Marlins were reaching out to Lowell during the season while Ozzie is still managing that would be a karmic b**** slap if I have ever seen one

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 03:37 PM) Well, then, I guess it's now time to remove any statistics of anyone ever busted for roids. Cabrera did this himself, so it isnt like the league stepped in and stopped it. I kind of respect Cabrera for doing it. He still cheated, but at least he has enough self respect to do this. After he got caught, of course

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 01:41 PM) Yeah like it's normal for teams to have 110 win seasons. Sox had one bad month where they went 12-16 in August. They played 7 over ball from September on. Cleveland played 38-16 ball through August & September. The Sox had one 7-game losing streak in August that hurt their record. They didn't choke, they cooled off, and Cleveland turned it up. a 15 game lead to a 1 1/2 game lead, with one fly ball in the sun away from a 1/2 game lead was a pretty big choke
