PULSE!

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 14, 2010 -> 06:24 PM) No offense, but when are people going to give their pitching credit? Duensing has been absolutely amazing this season. Pavano's been stellar all season, and he really stepped up when Liriano was struggling. Blackburn's actually throwing the ball very well since he returned as well. I'm just so sick of people saying we have a better staff than they do. I know, I know...I should give them more credit but when I watch them pitch they are very underwhelming. But maybe that's their strength, the fact that they throw a ton of strikes and turn it over to a terrific defense behind them. And they don't leave a lot over the plate. Maybe if they can get out of the first round, I'll accept it.

This division is for the taking by whatever organization who wants it. Imagine what Boston, Toronto or the Rays would give to be in this division? The Sox are far and away the biggest market in the Central but are owned and operated like a team from Mayberry. omg dude, we'd be buried if we were in the east!

if it can go wrong, it doth

You can't take away credit from minny -- they're now closing in on home field advantage in the AL. They've made a great push and are just playing extremely well with what i think is a very average rotation after Liriano.

if you're the twins you KNOW you can beat the Sox; the Sox seem to hope they can beat the twins.

they do so much damage w/2 outs, like Detroit did a few years ago.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 14, 2010 -> 06:15 PM) I still give kudos to Delmon for absolutely destroying the White Sox during his career. Over a .350 hitter now vs the Sox since he started. I guess Ozzie trying to act like the moral compass for MLB and hitting him in his MLB debut was uncalled for? he's still a piece of s***. and now danks is getting HAMMERED.

1st pitch.

CQ used to have such great patience, not any more. not one of those pitches was a strike.

haha! rays just went ahead of the yankees -- thanks boone

i can't blame manny, that was a nasty pitch

that was f***ing clutch

i will say this: the guy has a flair for the dramatic

Hey, Minny lost, so we're cool!

you know, i'm glad we have one of those GM's who gets even angrier than fans do

we've scored one run on the bat of a rookie's first hit. that's some sizzlin baseball

if we can't win, can we please have a bench clearing brawl, one to rival the fight against the tigers in 2000? Just something to feel good about and at the same time, get out some vicarious frustration?

f***thiss***
