Send down Kotsay and bring up Harrel or Torres. On a side note, didn't anyone on our side realize there was a very slim chance of getting last night's game in? Shouldn't they have just warmed up Pena and given him the start? Seems like a huge blunder to let Jackson warm up and pitch to a batter knowing that a huge storm was coming that would last several hours. We can't be giving up a guy in the rotation like that in the middle of a pennant race.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 09:32 PM) Joe West doing his best to ruin our bullpen this season. I bet we see Pena start tomorrow. Then who's the long man for Freddy after he gets shelled in 2 innings?

Jackson not pitching?!? WTF

QUOTE (Cali @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 08:21 PM) Man the Twins aren't really that good (except against the Sox it seems) but no one can seem to figure them out.... They must be 19 games over .500 for a reason.

7-1 Twins. Ugh. Can anyone beat these f***ers?

I swear after looking at Haren's gameday photo I'm sure I saw him panhandle once near Division and Elston.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 08:15 PM) Glad I didn't rush home to see the game... What time is it set to start?? I heard something about a 2 hour delay.

And the Twins get an easy win today. We have to win this one tonight to keep pace.

Jesus. Looks like they'll be going to the pen early against the Twins.

Wait. Arizona got hosed for getting rid of Haren?

And there's Thome with a leadoff triple. At least we have flexibility. And Haren's Gameday photo makes him look homeless.

At least Anaheim is threatening in the 4th.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 08:02 PM) But he also threw a lot of pitches to warm up prior to the game. How idiotic is the umpire and grounds crew for letting this game actually start just to be delayed 10 minutes later? What the hell was the point of that?

Twins bullpen has been a bit shaky this week.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 07:53 PM) 2 hour rain delay? You cannot put Jackson back into the game, so it looks like we'll just destroy our bullpen tonight. He's only thrown 7 pitches.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 07:31 PM) Joe West has f***ed us -- why in the hell do you start this game when they're saying it's going to be a 2 hour rain delay? That was unbelievably stupid. Do they not have radar in KC?!? Unf***ing real.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 04:43 PM) Man, it'll be beyond sorry if we don't sweep this team. Has anybody heard of any of these three starters the Royals are running out there? I know Bullington won a game against the Yankees recently. But still. He's awful. NM. f***. We get Greinke Sunday. Plus Freddy tomorrow.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 03:49 PM) Punto, Mijares, Morneau, Nathan... you'd have to think the injuries would have to catch up with the Twins at some point. I also find it hard to believe Pavano and Duensing are as good as they've been so far. Yesterday showed us that for Pavano. And Liriano has looked less than stellar lately, same with Capps. I really think the Twins are in for a cold streak - its just a matter of whether or not the Sox can take advantage of that. We're on the same page. I think we'll be within a game of 1st by the end of next week.

Punto back on the DL.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 03:14 PM) Bu bu bu but they have Mike f***ing Sciocia and we have stupid ol' Ozzie!!!! They have to be good, he's such an incredible manager!! Because the results of this one particular season is a direct correlation to which one is the better manager.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 02:48 PM) missed those posts. sorry. only caught the backend of the conversation And yes it is ridiculous that they make that a default.

QUOTE (MattZakrowski @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 02:46 PM) I like that you had a picture of Ozzie laughing ready to go in a minute. Great hustle. I'm always cinched up and hunkered down.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 02:46 PM) Wait, friends can check me into places??? HOLY CRAP! That's find of a huge privacy thing there. Yes. This was mentioned several times in this thread.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 20, 2010 -> 02:43 PM) So far, I see no such option, even looking through the help page. How did you accomplish this? click the 'account' in the upper right corner select privacy settings click 'customize settings' select 'only me' for Places i check into select 'disabled' for Friends can check me in to Places
