QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 07:53 PM) Koufax versus Bob Gibson tonight? It's another one of those cold August nights where the ball doesn't carry.

I wonder if Mackowiak would have caught that.

That pirhana movie looks awful.

How many 1st pitch outs do we already have?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 07:39 PM) 2-0 now Twins leading. Can we seriously have a mulligan on this last week? Will we even get 2 his with this lineup?

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 07:37 PM) Well, I think it's actually the true nature of the White Sox offense that is in full effect. C'mon, look at our s***ty lineup. One home run threat out of 9 isn't bad.

Twins already winning 1-0.

Jesus. Between him and Carlos.

No room for error for Mark.

The August/September offensive swoon is in full effect.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 04:02 PM) To take that even a step further, I don't even see it as retaliation I see it as setting a tone. It was no accident that the Twins hit our batters 4 times....just as it was no accident when Torii Hunter blasted the s*** out of AJ at homeplate a couple of seasons ago. Gardenhire does these things to make sure his team is the alpha male in the relationship....it's high time Ozzie quits sititng back complimenting the Twins and instead takes a page out of Gardy's book and has his guys do some tone-setting of their own. Start a brawl! Hit a couple batters! Annihilate a fielder on a slide! Do something to remind the Twins that they're in your park and you're in charge. Yes, I was very disappointed by that Twins series Jamie Burke And I agree with your sentiments.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 03:54 PM) I figured teams will be warned before the start of the Minnie series. So our starter would be gone. But I would have no problem with Linebrink plunking a Twin in the butt with a pitch. But he'll be suspended a week or so. So a win-win.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 03:42 PM) Bolt aside from his personality, what do you like about Mark? He is a butcher in right field which you all will soon see. He's a butcher at third. He strikes out, doesn't believe in walking and is simply a mediocre player IMO. Without bringing up names, why do you pick and choose which bad players you root for? You're terribly inconsistent.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 03:05 PM) Ozzie has managed to put both Teahen AND Kotsay in the lineup. You gotta love this flexible lineup.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 02:46 PM) Wow, we really expect to contend with a lineup like this? My thoughts exactly. You have to wonder what's going through Kenny's head when he sees a lineup like this during a pennant race.

So Teahen immediately goes to RF. Can Vizquel play 3B every day now?

Pierre 7 Vizquel 5 Rios 8 PK DH Teahen 9 Ramirez 6 A.J. 2 Kotsay 3 Beckham 4 Buehrle P

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 02:28 PM) That could be because Teahen's been gone for so long you forgot how mediocre a player he is. I think he should be grouped with Jones/Kotsay as blah, not emerging as a better option than those 2. At least he was hitting in the .250s before getting hurt. Kotsay and Jones have been in the .200 to .215 area all year. Those few extra hits may knock in some much needed runs.

Unattractive entertainer Fergie was at the game last night.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 02:22 PM) Wise is coming back? Oh no...

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 02:18 PM) Not when I'm watching. Good for Juan that he's doing it in games I'm not watching. Perhaps you should stop watching games then.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 02:07 PM) We come across as pansies because we can't win the f***ing game. It has nothing to do with not retaliating. If we beat them on the field, we look good. So we let teams hit our batters or ram over our catcher whenever they feel like it and lose the game. That's got to be great for team morale. Oh and then have your skipper shower that opponent with compliments.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 01:48 PM) The White Sox, Marlins, & Braves. I would include the Rays on the list, but all the Yankees or Red Sox fans would buy all the tix and make it a sellout anyway. That sounds about right.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 01:35 PM) All Hawk did the past three games was complain about the attendance. There was still 30,000 at every game. It wasn't like they 15,000 in the seats. How many MLB teams wouldn't sell out a series in mid August against a team they're tied for first? 3?
