why the f*** is Swisher in LF and Griffey in CF? shouldn't they be flipped?? unreal.

QUOTE (KipWellsFan @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 05:49 PM) While he's been scuffling for more than 2 months now he's had many more than 1 good starts this year. he was pretty good at the beginning of the year, he fell flat on his face right around the beginning of June and has sucked for the most part ever since (outside of his starts against the A's, and ironically KC)

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 05:31 PM) You can have my title of Mr. Pessimism. apparently it's not OK to say the things we're all thinking. give me a flippin' break. you, and everyone else on this entire board has been on Javy's ass for the amount of sucking he's done outside of maybe one start, over the course of the entire year forgive me if I don't buy into the belief that Javy will have a good game string together 3-4 games then I'll start having some confidence

not good. hopefully it's just one game, but honestly we already knew Javy wouldn't give us a good chance to win anyways

concept is pretty simple, as long as we hit homeruns that aren't solo-shots, we can win games good pitchers absolve that weakness, though as seen from Beckett tonight

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 08:48 PM) Just out of curiosity, why do their fans feel that way? off of the top of my head, a few things they've said were "Our bullpen is terrible", "We can't score runs/we don't hit enough homeruns", "our only good starter is liriano"

this inning is setup perfectly for another swisher late-inning homerun

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 08:45 PM) Kinda like how they destroyed the worst team in baseball up in Seatle. The Twins are unstopable. their fans are convinced we are going to win the division it's funny the similarities between us just shows you that both of these teams are massively flawed and not great, the division is a crapshoot at this point

if we can just keep pace with the twins, who have also not played all that great..., once they start playing Oakland, LAA, and Tampa on the road.. i like our chances

Wanna know how Thornton's ERA stays low? Because he gives up a s***load of inherited runs, unreal.

thornton with the bases loaded again? surely you jest!

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 08:31 PM) There's just no excuse to have a pitcher with a 5.52 ERA coming into a 1 run game in the 8th inning with 50 games left in a pennant race. if he can't throw strikes, why the f*** is he on the team. that's my question. that ERA is laughable, i'm sure his whip is hilarious... yep, 1.64 lol

trying to pickoff lowell? nice.

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 08:14 PM) Gold Glove play right there for Quentin!! was it a full-extension? no WCIU down here

Vulture coming in for his 5th win

twins put up a 4th 4-0

so f***ing sick of the blackhole-dome, can ANY team win there

Farmer & Stone keep talking about how Beckett can't see Varitek's fingers how is that possible, the guy has 3 inches of white tape on them, is he blind?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 07:55 PM) I've been in the gamethread the last 4 innings. Keep it up. Keep what up?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 07:52 PM) Keep it up. Nice selective monitoring.

this game is over split is decent i guess, adios 1st place.

after the no-no flies out the window, he starts falling apart? ok...

i hope AJ calls something other than 1st pitch fastballs the rest of the way, because with Danks pitching this gem, they will definitely start swinging at the 1st pitch, mark my words.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 07:17 PM) Danks is blistering tonight. If he gives up a hit, it will be a fluke, kid is dealing. would like to see his P/B come down a little bit but his P/IP is still really nice

Griffey is 1-6 against Beckett, with a HR
