QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 09:19 PM) It's funny about our ninth innings recently. Usually, we threaten and fail to execute. Recently, we haven't even threatened. Kind of makes the end of the games a little bit less annoying actually. Verlander's game???

Well, time to grab a hold of your sack boys, and man the f*** up.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 09:17 PM) So how will we give up a run or two making the ninth inning even more of an impossible task? A) Solo HR B) Error C) Bloop hits D) Walk, SB, bunt, Sac Fly E) Twinkie dust. I would go with something we haven't seen yet. Like maybe a bloop down the RF line that bounced over JD's head for a inside-the-parker?

Linebrink should thank his lucky star, if he has one, for that pop out.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 09:14 PM) Can I also say that Greg Walker really sucks at his job. I wonder if Beckham will have a sophomore slump also like our players usually do, or will he be good enough to rise above Walker's suckiness? We should try to get a legal restraining order for Beckham so Walker doesn't come near him.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 09:14 PM) I would really like to see Thome pinch-hit for Q against Nathan, any chance Ozzie let's that happen? Thome, no. Wise, maybe.

BTW, has anyone not named Thome hit an opposite field HR this year for us?

How the f*** can we miss so many straight fastballs and chop them into the ground or pop them up?

I'm on the verge of a mental breakdown. If we lose tonight, I hope Ozzie goes off on everyone.

Rolling over on outside pitches. Nice. Think Walker has ever uttered the term "go with the pitch"?

Thank you Mauer. Let's get some f***ing runs.

Gotta get Mauer right here. HAVE to.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 09:04 PM) How about shaking up the lineup? This lineup with Quentin in it is obviously not working. I still would love to see Beckham in the 3rd, 4th, or 5th spot just to add a line drive hitter to the mix. Having him bat behind the struggling Quentin is ridiculous. Pods/Alexei/Beckham/Dye/Thome/Konerko/Pierzynski/Quentin/Getz

KW needs to go get every hitter who rakes against the Twins and/or in the Dome, and acquire them. We missed out on Holliday already.

Damnit. Warning track power.

I hate Fields' swing.

Come on Jayson, 1st and 3rd him.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 08:53 PM) The Sox don't have a win yet when they trail after 8. Just saying. I'm aware, when did the 7th and 8th innings pass? Must have missed it.

Beckham doesn't want to lose our love tonight.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 08:48 PM) meaning 6 outs to work with not 9. got it? Why don't we just quit then? I didn't know Joe Nathan has never given up anything in his career. Give me a break.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 08:48 PM) Feel free to scoop a ball Konerko. He hasn't had it this last week or so, but he's been fantastic all season.

Another short-hop throw.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 08:47 PM) u actually think the sox can score off nathan in the 9th? lol So he's going to get the 3 inning save? Got it.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 08:45 PM) Bottom 6. I know. I wouldn't say this is late. We have 9 outs to get 1 run.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 08:44 PM) And of course, we blow it late in the game. I don't understand this stupid dome. What inning is it again?
