QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 02:41 PM) UMMMM....do you even read, dude? I said why would anyone assume that Blackburn, the way he has been pitching, would beat Buerhle? Your what hurts? Has everyone around here been hypnotized by Sarah Palin-itis and lost IQ? You actually said "Especially that Blackburn, the way he has been pitching, is going to beat Buehrle", which made me think you thought he actually was doing well lately. My mistake if that wasn't the case.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 02:36 PM) Especially that Blackburn, the way he has been pitching, is going to beat Buehrle. I can see us losing the 1st and 3rd games more easily. If you're going to say things, at least look them up before you do so. It might prevent some embarrassment. Blackburn in September: 7.58 ERA, 26 H, 17 R in 19 IP GENIUS Thanks PK. Insurance is always good, especially today while the Twins are already winning.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 02:35 PM) Minnesota is not that good of a baseball team. This attitude that they are going to sweep us is pathetic. Agreed. I don't think anyone here realizes how bad Minnesota has been lately. The amount of home runs their pitching is giving up has been pathetic to say the least.

QUOTE (G&T @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 10:28 AM) Do the Sox run that site exclusively or does MLB have a hand in it? All team sites are essentially the same so I wonder what control each team has. I know the content is run by a combination of the team's web, marketing, and PR departments (or at least, that's how it is for the NBA; I'd imagine its similar for the MLB). Not sure about the design though.

QUOTE (shipps @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 04:02 PM) Not that its huge deal but someone should be fired for something like that.I mean cmon its not that hard to get a thing like that right. You obviously haven't met the internet people for teams before.

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 10:08 AM) ?? 1906?? Pretty sure he meant divisional title, as there weren't divisions in 1906.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 12:29 AM) It sure would be awesome. Too bad the White Sox didn't realize that tonight they pretty much could have wrapped it up. Eventually these blown opportunities are going to show ... like when Minnesota's fans start cheering from the first pitch on in the Sox-Twinks series. This was a huge opportunity missed tonight. uh, tonight would have been huge and all, but it wouldn't have wrapped up anything. Nothing will be wrapped up until that series in Minnesota is over, and maybe not even then.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 12:25 AM) Excellent point. That's an automatic Twins' win. With the way the Twins have been playing lately, nothing is automatic. Hell, Liriano let up 8 runs in 2.2 innings last time he pitched against Cleveland.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 08:42 PM) Hope you enjoyed those wins, it's about to get ugly Yep. Makes me glad to be more of a college basketball guy than a college football guy Either way, this team is loads better than last year and is still getting better. Not that it's saying much, but its nice to see Brewster can make some sort of progress.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 10:52 PM) With Ichiro, how many errors did he force on the infield with his speed? How many pitchers gave up RBI's because they were concentrating on Ichiro at 1B or 2B? How many runners didn't advance because of his presence and arm in CF and RF? How many times did he move a runner over successfully? I don't know, you tell me. Yeah, and I'd much rather have Javy than Chris Young at this point. Without Javy, our fourth and fifth starters are jokes and there is absolutely no way we'd be in first place.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 09:31 PM) And I am sure Griffey will be out in CF to turn singles into XBHs. I still don't understand this. If he were hitting, it'd be one thing, but is there literally anything he does well anymore?

Way to hustle, Boone.

The Gophers have 4 times their win total from last year, woo

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 07:49 PM) Griffey actually showing some life moving at a moderate speed. Maybe someone in the dugout tore him a new asshole after his walking around earlier in the game. It'd certainly be deserved.

QUOTE (Felix @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 07:45 PM) Floyd has looked good since that rough two inning stretch earlier, I'd say keep him in until he gives a reason to be taken out. And there's that reason.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 07:44 PM) Should Floyd still be in this game? He's pitching on regular rest at Minnesota next week, so I don't think Ozzie is too concerned about his pitch count. Floyd has looked good since that rough two inning stretch earlier, I'd say keep him in until he gives a reason to be taken out.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 06:58 PM) I'm upset with Griffey, but let's face that, that ITPH was all on Dye. Anytime he wants to help this team this month, it will be more than welcomed. Without a doubt. I just finally have a chance to jump all over Griffey, so I'm taking advantage of it.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 06:57 PM) Griffey is not as bad as Mack was, sorry. At least Mack hustled, as opposed to what Griffey does out there.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 06:53 PM) When they showed the view from the 3rd base dugout, Griffey didn't even move until the very end. When Mackowiak was out there, there were tons of posts each day asking for the head of Ozzie for marching him out there. Funny how the defense (and offense for that matter) is worse, but there are less posts given the players name.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 06:51 PM) DJ was busy making an excuse about how Griffey couldn't possibly cover all that ground to back up the play. Bulls***. Anyone that knows what they're doing in CF actually backs up their corner outfielders, as opposed to just picking dandelions out in center while letting the batter round at his will.

Where the f*** was the backup from Griffey? For a guy that has so much experience, you would think he would actually be doing his job once in awhile.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 06:17 PM) Wow Griffey, he really should not be playing. He literally was jogging for a gapper. I've been calling for it for awhile. There is no reason Anderson shouldn't be starting over him.

QUOTE (quickman @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 05:54 PM) remember the Twins will have alot more money next year as they open the new stadium. They will also want to make a big splash with some sort of free agent to kick off the new stadium era. The Twins will be a thorn in our side for awhile. You're assuming that Pohlad will actually start spending money, which is a huge assumption to make. And I don't know how much more money they'll have due to that stadium. They've had a lot of unexpected costs during the construction, and have been losing money like crazy. Of course, Pohlad is a rich bastard, so it doesn't affect him that much.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 06:01 PM) It's great to know that no matter what, we'll be in 1st place after next Thursday as long as we win one game in Minnesota. I've got tickets to all three games in Minneapolis next week. It's great to know that we won't be out of it for those games
