QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 03:07 PM) Actually indirectly I was. I came to the game late today and went to the Sox website and saw Paulie went deep yesterday and got career RBI 1000 today. Somehow I manged to think both happened today. Sorry for the mix up. Buerhle now 7-2 . Jenks with his 17th save. should have just gone with what I said. It would have made us both look smarter

QUOTE (rangercal @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 03:00 PM) Konerko did not go Deep he was referring to the lack of a winner thread yesterday in which Pauly hit his 300th as a member of the Sox and Beckham hit his 1st

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 02:53 PM) No I agree with Greg. We are all rabid fans, but we are FANS. we aren't in the clubhouse so how could we possibly know what is going on or what Ozzie could be thinking? As FANS, we aren't privvy to that information. Thornton could be sick for all we know. We piss and moan all the time about the decisions that Ozzie makes - and that's okay. As fans we are allowed to do that. But in reality none of us knows what we are talking about as to what goes on in that clubhouse. If we did then we would be on the coaching staff. Just my 2 cents... I think the information that we all have at our fingertips, which shows that Linebrink has more or less been overworked in the past week, would indicate that he shouldnt have been the first out of the bullpen today. Linebrink is getting hit pretty hard out there, and putting him in close games is certainly not somethign I want to see right now.

Massett has been giving the Sox the same treatment Kerry Wood is giving the Cubs

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 02:39 PM) Liney may suck, but I'm saying you have no idea whether anybody else would have given up more than one run. Unless you are a mindreader. The sportswriters should ask why Oz put him in. He has a reason. He knows more baseball than anybody on here. But they won't ask him even though he'd give the reason. you are out on a long stretchy weak limb with almost everything here ps. mindreaders cannot tell if a pitcher is going to give up a run either, unless the pitcher is doing it on purpose.....

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 02:36 PM) Liney gave up one run. Make your call right now. Who do you want in? Bobby might not have it today. So tell Oz what to do. It isnt a "call"You put your closer in for a close game, thats it. You are trying to make this out as we are all second guessing and blah blah, when that isnt the case. Linebrink has been AWFUL for the last 2 weeks, and he has been putting the team in a position to lose the game more often than not. Look at his inning of work today, and compare it against his last 5 or so appearances. He is inneffective, no ifs ands or buts about it QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 02:37 PM) the difference is, Bobby IS our closer. Liney is NOT our setup man. you have to give the ball to your closer regardless, but in the 8th inning, you give it to the guy who isn't pitching like s*** at the moment. ding ding

This is the textbook definition of how to do everything wrong in the 8th inning. Since I cannot see, please tell me someone is warming

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 02:30 PM) It is all the same.Carrasco is a stiff. No, its not the same. Carrasco has been much more effective than Linebrink has been

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 02:29 PM) f*** this. why is Thornton only coming in to clean up messes recently? this is absurd. only Linebrink messes. Get it right

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 02:28 PM) Thank God Linebrink gets more appearances than anyone else. He's so effective. its all the same

single, SB, walk. Yep, Liney is just about right

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 02:27 PM) Yeah, Carrasco is really good. at least carrasco has more than 1 pitch

WTF?????????? Why LINEBRINK???????

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 01:31 PM) You got Morneau at 1B, and any position has more longevity than C. I think that the financial implications of this matter on the Twins will far outweigh the health matter for Mauer, but thats JMO. Basically what I am saying is that they are going to choose one or the other in the next 2 years, and try and reload with prospects A la Santana.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 01:14 PM) Yeah I'm pretty sure he's here for good. Especially if Quentin is done. If the Mendoza line is .200, then what is .100? Wise is just spiraling down, I dont know how Ozzie can continue to justify playing him at this point, that batting average/OPS/OBPS is just embarrassing for a major leaguer. And there are no signs of him turning it around

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 12:17 PM) Ya they were balls. Both were the same spot and called strikes. I was like, well, I guess were facing Maddux or Glavine in there prime with this type of zone. the old days back when the Atlanta grounds crew would make the batters boxes wider. Well, until old Skip Carey called it out and got in trouble

i dont see how moving to 3B or a corner OF spot will keep him more healthy than 1B, but whatever

I dont know what really happened because im watching gameday, but it showed the first two called strikes on Getz were at least 6 inches outside, it looked like he really got hosed QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 12:13 PM) So is Dye out again due to his knagging injury? Alright Getzy. He has had a nagging case of suck for the last couple of weeks

Harang gettin hit around a bit

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 11:25 AM) I'm not sure if Mauer is willing to move positions, but if he's not there could be a team that gives him 15-20 million per year and gurentees he plays catcher. I think he'll be a Twin but I'm guessing he'll see what the Red Sox, Yankees, or other teams will give him. And thats the thing with Mauer at this point: does he want to move to a different position to preserve his knees? And that position is almost gauranteed to be first base, where the Twins have Morneau for the foreseeable future, so are the Twins going to tie up most of the payroll in Mauer and Morneau so that they can switch back and forth from DH to 1B? The Twins have some tough financial decisions coming up here, and now it involves the hometown hero(who could be an MVP) and a perennial MVP candidate.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 11:07 AM) Let's go MB! How about a CG so that the RPs can stay in the BP! Lets go White Sox, lets take another road series and keep on moving along

I dont know if this is on purpose or not, but I have been looking at the webpage design differences between SI.com and ESPN.com and they have both set up their pages to list from left to right NFL before MLB. In the past, they would rotate the "hot" or in season sport to the left(or top, depending on how the topics scroll), and especially now with the MLB being the only major sport in-season, I found it strange that both SI and ESPN have the NFL listed first with MLB in full swing right now. I dunno, maybe I am just looking in to it too much, but it is odd to me.

Who says Mauer does not want to explore his options elsewhere? Maybe Mauer will want to see more of a committment from the organization before he signs on the dotted line. Outside of Morneau and Mauer the last few years it has been a revolving door of players in and out of the Metrodome, Im sure Mauer would like to see some of the players stick around and make a run at a title.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 12:14 AM) Just got a call that my grandpa had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital for heart trouble...not a good start to Fathers Day. Sorry to hear that, Heads, I hope everything is ok

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 19, 2009 -> 09:17 AM) Flies only live somewhere between 24 to 72 hours when they mature anyway... so yeah... that fly would be dead by now. As PETA would have you know, that fly would much rather zoom into a spiders web and have its guts sucked out while it was still alive. That would be a much more "humane" way of dealing with things. I swear, PETA would rather people live in plastic bubbles and not touch the entire world.
