QUOTE (rangercal @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:37 PM) That's the Javy I like That's a Mariano Rivera-style pitch, breaking back over the plate.

QUOTE (tommy @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:35 PM) Throw a f***ing strike, please. It's all about being aggressive, Javy-style.

Now Morneau gets the Hawk slurpy.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:33 PM) Griffey outhit Anderson in batting practice. But Ozzie didn't let Anderson use a bat.

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:32 PM) Not to beat a dead horse but remind me why Griffey is playing over Anderson again? Ozzie knows that Anderson would've hit into a triple play.

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:30 PM) DP. Bah. 1-0 I wonder if Griff rolled into any double plays in BP.

Hawk praising the Griffey batting practice session.

Jim Thome is like a young Jim Thome.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:27 PM) I have about 4 times this year.... Apparently, Hawk has taken your e-mails as a personal challenge to praise the Twins even more.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:22 PM) This is why I have the radio on. Too bad it doesn't sync up. By the time Farmio is done with the call, the TV should catch up.

Hawk, YOU are poetry in motion.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:15 PM) we need JD in this series I think that JD has needed a few days off for about 2 weeks. But Quentin is hurt, and Funnyman Nick Swisher sucks, so there you are.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 07:14 PM) Wow long swings tonight. JD -- mystified by changeups on the outer half, perplexed by fastball in same spot.

QUOTE (G&T @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 02:09 PM) Swish with a hit. Swish! Now don't be too funny over there.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 01:55 PM) Between Swisher and Ozzie, this is the loosest, most motivated team in history! It's the kind of team that makes me want to run a marathon or something. Damn, I'm fired up just watching their joy and energy.

QUOTE (G&T @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 01:53 PM) His season has to rank as one of the worst in franchise history, right? Right up there with Cory Snyder, except with about double the at-bats and triple the funny.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 01:52 PM) Haha, oh man. Did you see when he danced in the dugout the other day? Seriously. I mean, talk about loose. Swish makes this team so loose. I mean, they're so loose, they look comatose. That's how good Swish is at this stuff. He's like the new Max Patkin, Clown Prince of Baseball. Thanks, Swish.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 01:52 PM) I can't think of 5 players with the same or similiar amount of at bats worse than Nick Swisher this year. Guys, guys -- you're missing the big picture. Swish is totally funny in the clubhouse. I mean it. The guy tells great jokes and dyes his hair. Super awesome.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 01:41 PM) He needs to be benched. He has had the entire year to get hot. Our offense makes any crappy pitcher look good. I think, when it's all said and done, we'll look back at Quentin's injury and realize that the real cost of it was having to play Swisher. I mean, it's hard to say that because he's such a totally, super-duper hilaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarious guy and everything . . .

One thing about our offense is that it's awesome.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 06:28 PM) That was the June version of Uribe going after that bad pitch with that weak ass swing. Come on guys. This is Kyle f***ing Davies. See, I think that's half the problem. These guys get it in their heads that a guy isn't tough, and they try to jack it to the moon.

I think Swish sucks, but that was a tough break there. He hit it hard.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 06:03 PM) Just pull Floyd now. Give him some rest. Everything is floating up to the plate. Up in the zone. Bad.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 20, 2008 -> 06:00 PM) Our offense needs to get their heads out of their asses. Davies sucks, he is pounding the zone with fastballs. They should be crushing them. Didn't Konerko hit a dong off this guy in the last series there? But we go with Griffey/Swisher? Okay.

AJ trying to pull the ball to Mars.
