falling behind on hitters is never good unless you are falling behind White Sox hitters who feel the need to swing at anything close

Quentin has turned into the 2009 version Jermaine Dye. If he did not have Konerko and Rios hitting ahead of him to get him the RBI he would be no better than Andrew Jones offensively without he abiltiy to play defense...and actually become a liability on defense.

this is where the twins would come back to tie this game...the sox.....three outs without the ball leaving the infield on 9 pitches.

Now we can hear about how tiring a raod trip this was and how they were exhausted after the Boston series and the doubleheader caught up to them. Bonderman and Porcello have been hit hard all year.....they need to get it going.......has anyone other than Omar homered since the Cleveland series?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 12:21 PM) Alright offense, gotta step it up here. They haven't done anything this whole series.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 12:18 PM) This team looks completely dead. All of our pitchers seem to have hit the wall as well, as everyone's velocity has been down. Sale needs to be shut down for season if we are 6 or 7 out after Twins series. He threw 144 innings last year and is at about 130 for this year if I heard a Cooper interview on teh SCORE correctly last week.

Floyd has really struggled lately and it appears to be so again. He seems to throw 20 pitches an inning even when he retires the side in order.

QUOTE (kitekrazy @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 12:11 PM) I thought this team would only win about 75 games this year. I haven't gotten too upset over this season since they exceeded my expectations. It's been awhile since the Sox have put together nice winning streaks. They dug too deep of a hole to crawl out of when the season started. The first few weeks of the season were bad I think they were soemthing like 5-14 after that they played .500 ball for a few more weeks and then got red hot. The part of the season that is frustrating was the month of August as they seemed to loss too many games that they shoudl not have. They overcame the poor early start.

QUOTE (Disco72 @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 10:17 PM) Nobody posting yet on Sons of Anarchy? Wow...what a season opener! Some stuff I never expected. This season looks absolutely incredible. I am liking Jax as a badass should be good.

The Sox went on a 10 game road trip while the Twins played 9 at home. If after this trip the end result is a loss of .5 game and going 8-2 you can not ask for anything more. If the Twins play .900 ball all you can do is laugh and hope the Sox finish strong. My silver lining is I think thsi team will be really good next year. I hope they can get a .5 game today and one over the weekend and g ofrom there. The Twins are great at home but can be beat on the road.....let's hope so.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 9, 2010 -> 09:40 AM) But being banned, now that is f***ing hilarious. Thank you.

I love that when people talk about injuries Jake Peavy seems to not come up in the conversation.

QUOTE (Willy52 @ Sep 8, 2010 -> 10:20 AM) Why don't you people admit that they're the better team? They're in first without Morneau. Pretty damn impressive. They beat up on the division unlike us. We're not catching them. End of story. Cool, now I do not have to watch anymore. Thanks and see you next spring.

Beckham swings at a ball he could do nothing with....

He swung at ball four

Why can't they look at one strike?

Make him throw strikes. Wanna know why the Twins win and beat the Sox. Aj should have been 3-0 instead he hacks away just misses a HR and there are now two outs. Coke did not throw a strike the Twins scored off Coke and Perry to win a game by letting pitches hit them and take walks. Should be two on and one out.

Konerko is getting the day off as he played a doubleheader yesterday. I guess he could put Manny in left and sit Pierre.

Yanks v. Jays moved to noon today. Boston should have done the same thing.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 2, 2010 -> 08:21 PM) They also don't have the Sod Father as their groundskeeper I think he may have redone the field though.

Roonie Woo Woo and Santo step up and some were born to sing the blues

I may start a main page thread so that we can put the Joe West hates the Sox thing to bed. He f***ed the Twins royally last night in that he gave the Tigers two runs with his antics at second base. The Twins not only lost but they wasted their entire pen and went to two starters and Crain threw 40 pitches. Oh and the Rangers are coming to town......and Baker has an elbow issue. Thank you Joe West and your abysmal crew. The twins should have lost 5 in a row instead they are 3-2....they get the job done.

twins have benn doing that all game this is one of the worst games I have ever seen

Splitters up are not good, ask Putz

i really f***ing hate that team mauer just set us up for a cuddyer kick to the nuts
