QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 08:21 PM) have anyone ever seen Joe Nathan give up a run? not to blow a lead. remember how good he looked as a starter in SF?

fat eddie back in his natural habitat - a "twinkie" uniform

honestly, can they really do this all season? don't they have to come back to earth at some point in that category or are they just that good?

ding ding, ring up yet another hit with 2 outs and risp

this is when the twins win games - late innings, RISP, 2 outs. Money says Young gets a hit.

you should be pissed Dotel - that was a terrible 0-2 pitch

I wish they'd break up thome and kong in the lineup - it's a dead spot with no speed

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 06:28 PM) Normally I'd be greatly opposed to sticking a player with a .018 isolated discipline in the leadoff spot but I'm willing to make an exception for Alexei. I think he'd flourish at the top of the lineup and getting him as many PA as possible should be a priority. (given his amazing abilities) i prefer the way he drives in runs batting lower in the order, but it's a close call.

crede is still doing that lame hit-it-to-right-field thing that he was doing when he started slumping. he's trying to guide it. lexi, by the way, is the s***.

bulls***, he didn't swing.

clayton owes joe a brew

ha! hogwarts sox - working that magic

damn your achilles tendon, contreras.

crede's swing looking long and slow. bummer.

christ thome's been striking out a lot lately

lexi leading off? that's weird.

it's baltimore - play some f***ing journey and let's get this second game started.

how long are they going to break between games?

great.

rocky cherry with his 6.00 era in to close it out for the birds.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 01:28 PM) It was Uribe's homer that extended this game. indeed it was, Tut.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 12:58 PM) Most likely Uribe at 2B, Crede at 3B, and save Getz in case the game goes on for multiple innings and we need a PR/PH, or defensive substitute. yeah, uribe had taken his place. Still...it's been a while since Juan played 2b, hasn't it?

too bad lexi was pulled from the game already.
