QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:51 PM) Flowers just a hit a homer. He's 2-2. .261, 15 homers, 32 RBIs He must have gotten the text. Honestly I am surprised that no one called Charlotte and told them to get him out to be safe.

f*** THE TWINS!!!

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:38 PM) There's your roster spot, Dayan No way. It is all about Tyler Flowers.

I hate the canned music between innings. Bring back the organist.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:30 PM) Is that official? Fox just reported it too

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:29 PM) Broken hand. Is that official?

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:29 PM) Unfortunately, the cupboard is bare underneath, and the people at the big league level are underachieveing in massive proportions. I'm not sure Ozzie Guillen (who I support) is going to change anything any more. His schtick has ran its course. I don't agree at all. This team is loaded with talent. The potential is there.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 05:11 PM) We all heard about what Gammons said today about Oz being fired during the break. Here are 2 tweets from Cowley just now: Neither one of those sound plausible. A guy looking for a job is going to call Ozzie? BS. And the Sox reached out to LaRussa? Yeah, I don't see that one either.

Doesn't look good. He didn't hesitate to leave the game. Didn't even try to stay in.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 11:55 AM) Apparently you are not allowed to throw inside to David Ortiz, or at least you aren't in his own mind. He was throwing at him. I don't think there was any doubt of that.

Congrats to Jeter!

What an amazing story. In the US we'd be filing lawsuits and rioting over things. In Japan, people are pretty much volunteering to die for the good of the country. http://articles.latimes.com/2011/jul/04/wo...ar-old-20110704

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 11:59 AM) I wonder if they wouldn't turn the reigns over to Buddy Bell as an interim manager. And no, I'm not saying that is necessarily what I would do, but he's about the only in-house guy with the experience to be manager. Especially since I don't think Cora will really represent much of a change. I'm probably being overly harsh on Cora but thats just the way I see it. He could ultimately be a lot different than Ozz. In fact, I'm sure he is, but since they are such close friends its hard for any of us to see them as being "different". I hope not Bell. We need someone down there fixing the minors. Leave him be.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 12:51 PM) Off topic somewhat, but that Gammons expects Guillen to be fired at the break and there to be nary a word from a Sox beat writer is yet another example of how bad the Sox beat writers are. Right, would you expect Joe Cowley to kick his gravytrain? He is probably in his moms basement praying that he doesn't get fired.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 01:15 AM) And you still haven't addressed my point about Cooper. And who the hell is balming it *all* on Walker? Do you really have to be so dramatic to try to make a point? ALL of you people defending Walker keep preaching about a hitting coach apparently makes NOOOOOOO difference at all and has no effect on how guys hit, right? So then why are you guys so adamant about NOT firing Walker? This is entirely irrational. If it makes no difference, fire him and hire someone else. Something to potentially gain but NOTHING to lose. Also, by your claims, no coach matters at all and Cooper should get ZERO credit for ANYTHING in terms of our pitching staff. Correct? I feel I have to repeat this since you ignored it earlier. In any case, a hitting coach DOES make a difference. Personalities matter. People saying coaches make no difference at all is a gigantic "derp." Cool, then you'd have NO problem with firing Walker, as would anyone else using this (assumption-based) logic. The defense is as always: ignorance, cop-outs and excuses, OH MY! Hey, mods... is "obtuse" a word I can get away with or is that considered flaming/insult? Are you really trying to say that there is no difference between hitting and pitching? Speaking of obtuse.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 12:07 AM) For some reason Cowley or Oney come to mind when I read this thread.

Just punch him.

I can't believe we are two hours in already! This game is just flying by!

That is why Brent Morel is on this roster.

Good for Gavin to not give up anything there. Plus it looks like his curve is coming to him. Now it is time to add on.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 07:06 PM) So you would give Danks $75-80 million and 5 years without blinking? That's just a notch above Mark's current salary. I would but he wouldn't take it.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 07:39 PM) hahaaa...I'm sure he didn't (speaking of Debbie Downers...) I'm sure he either won't tweet for the rest of the game, or he will wait for the Twins to score.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 06:33 PM) Konerko's '03 was trash by his personal standards. Dunn's is bad by historical standards. There's a difference. Can Dunn recover in time to salvage this season? I thought so a month ago. Now I'm not sure. PK wasn't striking out at a damn near 44% clip. Dunn looks f***ing clueless. I looked up the numbers earlier. At June 30th of the respective years, Konerkos numbers were worse across the board.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 07:20 PM) Cowley with the prediction 35 minutes ago..."25 minutes until the Twins take a 1-0 lead..." So did the ass have them at 1-5 after one?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 03:26 PM) 32-24 since May 6th. And that includes the three straight L's.
