hopefully the twins "blowpen" (lol) implodes once again, twins have been about as unlucky as you could be against the mariners this year

LOL is this really his song? unreal, hahahahaha

NEW YORK -- Major League Baseball reversed its long-standing opposition to instant replay and will allow umpires to check video on home run calls in series that start Thursday. Commissioner Bud Selig was scheduled to make the announcement at 5 p.m. ET Tuesday. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3554357

i want beltre on our team

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 01:29 PM) Tied by percentage, but they get the tiebreaker then. We are up in the season series 8-7. So 1-2 puts us both at 9-9 for the season series. The next tie breaker is against Divisional opponents where we are both currently tied at 36-21. That means if they beat us 2 of 3, they are ahead by the next tie breaker with a 38-22 record compared to our 37-23 record. Each team has a total of 15 divisional games left, so that series will more than likely settle it. The Sox need to win that series to guarantee themselves the first tiebreaker. tied by percentage? huh? lol i was under the assumption that we will have played the same amount of games at that point, as the twins. if that's the case: 3 game series vs twins, 1 game lead. lose 2 of 3: game 1 win = 2 game lead game 2 loss = 1 game lead game 3 loss = tied for first we would have the same WPCT as the twins.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 26, 2008 -> 01:21 PM) Isnt the Minnesota series the very last series of the year? Tue, Sep 23 @ Minnesota Wed, Sep 24 @ Minnesota Thu, Sep 25 @ Minnesota Fri, Sep 26 Cleveland Sat, Sep 27 Cleveland Sun, Sep 28 Cleveland nah, but i didnt realize the series vs cleveland was at the cell, though if i recall.. the tribe hits pretty well in our park.

sent an email, probably won't get a response but I had to give it a shot. just asked if we'll see more leadoff at-bats for Alexei this year 4-5 yesterday ;o

if we win just 1 game in the twink-dome, we'll have only lost 1 game in the standings to them, which means if we enter that series with a 1 game lead, we could lose two of three and still be tied for first heading into cleveland

MIN 2-3 on the roadtrip so far, not too shabby for us edited

Seattle owns the twins this year, lmao

WALKOFF b****ES 1.0 up on the twinkies!

2-1 twins top of the 8th, mariners have basically one inning before getting to see nathan.

tie game, cairo doubles down the line. 1-1!!!!!!!!!

mariners have runner on 3rd with 0 outs, error on twins ...2B i believe

so... i guess this means crede is back. alexei has already been used i take it? that sucks.

QUOTE (oralsoxpodcast @ Aug 25, 2008 -> 01:16 AM) I agree with Cox' gamble, but that's knowing that BA was safe. Apparently Upton has been a problem with laziness in the past with the Rays. Maddon has benched him for not running plays out in the past. Maddon even benched him during a no-hit game, which was screwed up by the replacement center fielder. Thank you lazy Upton. Thank you. whoa

i think it's bull**** that we have to make up a home game in their park. this game should've been madeup long before tomorrow

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 07:12 PM) Ump's absolutely terrible blown call hands us the game. Where's all the b****ing about umpiring conspiracies against the Sox now? Where are all you guys? Also, AJ's not really a hero, he made a terrible baserunning mistake to begin with and got the benefit of a brutal call by Eddings. Even at full speed, it was pretty obvious AJ threw his arm out trying to get some sort of contact as he was dead and not going to run anymore. Wow.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 06:12 PM) Did we get a prize ? I'd hope not, losing 2 of 3 games.

QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 05:47 PM) Can somebody explain to me what happened or link a video? I was unable to watch the game. paulie tied the game in the bottom of the 9th, by singling in brian anderson from second base (pinch running, Junior hit a double.. awesome hit btw) bottom of 10th: AJ single CQ deep flyout to right-center. Upton nonchalantly lobs the ball back in, AJ tags and reaches 2nd. 1 out JD grounds out, AJ mistakenly tries making 3rd base even though the ground ball was hit to the shortstop before AJ had even passed him, gets caught in a run-down. One of the defenders made contact with AJ's arm, and Eddings calls interferance. AJ to 3rd, JD to 1st. 1 out. IBB thome. Bases loaded. 1 out Sexy f***ing Alexei singles to right on an 0-1 pitch, wins the game.

0.5 games ahead of the twins, but more importantly 1 game in the loss column i cant believe we lose 2/3 to the rays, twins split with the angels and the twins get the consolation prize of: nothing. lol

LOL 4-3 ANGELS 1 OUT TRIPLE BRINGS VLAD HOME. KEEP THE LINE MOVING! EDIT: 5-3 LOL

how huge would it be to be in first place AFTER losing a series to the rays? unfreakingbelievable. lol

what a finish.. just wow. aj and his poker buddy doug up to their old shenanigans again!

this chick sucks, way offkey
