Terrible game on both ends tonight.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 9, 2008 -> 01:10 PM) Definitely. I mean, I never expected a team to have a lead on the Sox again. I mean, EVER. I think he means the choking and pathetic hitting with runners on base.

Swisher 3 run shot. 3-1 Sox.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 7, 2008 -> 05:15 PM) Holy s***, those are some ridiculous numbers. This guy sounds like a guy that if signed, would immediately be one of the best prospects in all of baseball. Heck, you could make a case if he was eligible for the draft that he would have went #1 overall. I'm guessing you are talking about a double digit signing bonus (ie, a 10M bonus, if not a bit more). I'd personally have no problem giving him a 2-5M bonus and have him enter into the minor leagues, especially if the scouts agree with the assessment, but I don't know if the Sox will spend that sort of money on an international player (Ramirez was there first major international signing (well for that sort of money), but they have had very good success with Cuban players (Jose, El Duque (to a lesser extent), and Ramirez (looks good so far). I am not seeing any ridiculous numbers. I believe those stats were compiled over 3-4 seasons.

Warning Track Power x2 for Swisher.

Beer league softball is back at the Cell.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jun 6, 2008 -> 08:39 PM) CQ!!! Welcome back from the 2 day scuffle!! Thanks Cuddyer Would have been a tough play anyway. I don't think we really got any help from Cuddyer.

Haha. Best inning of the season.

Started 1 for 10; finished 7 for 9 off Blackburn.

Big f***ing beautiful AB by AJ! 5-3 Sox!

OC = leadership.

Ok, starting to get greedy. Would like 2.

1st and 2nd. 0 out. Like I said, I'm not greedy. I'll take 1 run here.

Nice to see Swisher hit the ball hard both times up.

Casilla's been hitting in the .220s in the minors last 2 season. So of course he's hitting .347 for the Twins right now.

That is more than we usually do in those situations.

1st and 3rd. 0 out. I am not a greedy man, and I'll be happy with 1 run at this point.

Twins with a White Sox like inning. Blackburn has a .303 BAA. We're 1 for 10 so far.

Huge DP right there. Need to get the last one Javy.

Twins could close the game right here. Have to hold them...

Vazquez already at 70 pitches. Blackburn at 34.

We might be in trouble if we don't get this game. I thought this was our most favorable matchup of the series.

And just like that... Great way to start a big series. Unreal.

OCab showing his "leadership."

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 07:45 PM) Can someone say what Dye and Swisher did? Gameday seems to have forgotten that Dye batted. Dye doubled to left, Thome was safe at 3rd though he should have been out. Swisher singled to center and Thome scored. Dye to 3rd.
