Kudos, Carlos! An offensive machine. No longer a defensive liability of any sort this year (my head hurt watching him get clobbered while making that catch last week!). Career highs in HRs and rbi's. Whodathunkit?

I lost it at the same time, but caught the rest of the game listening to the Minny feed. I don't kknow who the broadcast guy is, but he sounded like a no-nonesense old guy, excited for the Twins late surge, but not annoyingly so. I couldn't get live feeds on half my computers for the first two months of the season, so I'm just happy I can get some form of the games now...

God, that was ugly! I never want to see Paniagua pitch again.

That's great, it starts with an earthquake -- birds, snakes, an airplane, Lenny Bruce is not afraid. It is indeed the end of the world as we know it (and i feel fine)

In 2001 and 2002, there was nothing left by this time of the season, except to catch a glimpse of some of the callups in action and to hope for something better next year. The Sox sure did sputter for 3 months, and sure we're only in a race by virtue of geography. But I will take where we are now entering the second week of September 100 times out of 100 times, compared to being out of it by August yet again. the 1977 campaign remains among my fondest childhood memories, even though we were well out of it by this time that year. It would be SOOO great to be the storybook team that wins it all, warts and all (and we have lots of warts as a team for sure). If you can't take a breath and enjoy the possibility that this could still be the year, then you have outgrown the need to be a fan, to root, live and die with YOUR team. I hope I never get that wise or that jaded. It would certainly be a lot easier to be a Yankees fan where you statistically have nearly a 50% chance of a WS ring in any given year. But where's the challenge in that? Go Sox!

Later Days, All. Go Sox!

Nice come-from-behind win today. Relax and keep the faith. This is the forst time we have been 10 games over .500 since the end of 2000, according to Rooney. Wow.

SOX WIN!!! SOX WIN!!!

I agree, give Gordon a break. Is the game officially Koch-proof yet?

Listen to the crowd chanting "Paulie!!!" take a curtain call, PK!

Paulie has left the building!!!

If he does I won't complain a bit.

You are correct, Sir!

K! K! K-Marte!

I think he was a dwarf in the Lord of the Rings, right?

Yrah, just awful...

HURT!!!!!!!!! I love that guy in the clutch this year!

Frank can bust out right NOW!! Come on Frank!

nice sac bunt. Let's get Crede in now.

When he came on board I read he leads all active relievers in career innings pitched over like the last 4 years.

Got Him! Wow! Time to get some runs now!

Was gerut a teammate of Borchard at Stanford?

Indians back on top.

Now it's Shoenweis warming, marte sits down according to Farmer/Rooney
