QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 03:34 PM) Anemic, really? This offense has been great lately. Well yeah, but I think he means just because it was against Oakland and Seattle.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 10:15 AM) When was the last time JD went deep? I loooooove when I jinx us on purpose. I'd like to see Javy go another, but if he shows anything bad, bring in DJC.

When was the last time JD went deep?

This Bolt dude is ridiculous. Here's a question for you all- who were/are you more impressed by, Phelps or Bolt?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 10:48 PM) If the Cubs make the World Series, I really don't know which AL team matches up the best against them. I would say it's either the White Sox or Rays. Without Manny, the Red Sox just don't "wow" me. I think they would destroy the Angels or Twins. Cub Killer Adam Dunn and Randy Johnson will once again take care of them in the 1st round. No worries...

Greg Maddux just isn't very good anymore. Pitched pretty well for an old guy in a pitcher's park. He should pitch pretty well in LA but his debut being in Philly didn't help the cause.

Banana popsicles are pretty damn good, believe it or not.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 09:27 PM) Terrible loss....with this bullpen, you can't be playing smallball. Tomorrow's going to be tough, hopefully Ozzie is smart with his lineup. *starts praying for Anderson in CF and Swisher right after Thome*

No Alex Gordon??

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 09:18 PM) everyone is sayign that the twins schedule is difficult with the long road trips they have...and that certainly is difficult, but our schedule is f***ing brutal too god it still makes me so mad knowing that dotel was f***ing smiling walking off the field after that bulls*** If you could assault the hell out of any person in the world right now, without getting arrested or whatever, who would it be?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 09:10 PM) You can't pitch Jenks in a game you're down 2. I'll say this...we have no chance to make the playoffs unless Dotel steps up his game or Linebrink returns soon. They have no closer right now, and after cutting the margin in half, you bring in your closer for an almost automatic scoreless inning. Going to the bottom of the 9th down 2 makes me believe we still have a chance. Slim? Yeah. But it beats a 3+ run deficit. QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 09:10 PM) Who's ready to compare them to the '27 Yankees? All the analysts have said with Tex now, they are a great offense. Well, I've yet to see that. BTW- 3-0 MIN.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 09:05 PM) And that doesn't really make any sense. It does. They do everything right except hit, including managing. Everyone is ready to compare them to the late 20s Yankees and yet they just aren't that great as a unit. Like Tampa, for example. QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 09:07 PM) Maybe we should stop trading for relievers from KC. Maybe Jenks should be in.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 10:01 PM) Like Hawk. I used to like Kasper but he gets too sarcastic sometimes for my taste. When he tries to be funny, he really isn't. No, Hawk always has the same tone. You can tell by the words he is using and comparisons he is making if we're up or down. Kasper's voice is high and retarded when they're winning, yet when they're losing he has that voice like "We're still going to get in bed together, right Bob"?

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 09:01 PM) oh have some faith in the team with the best record in baseball. "You may run like Mays, but you hit like s***". They do everything right except hit. I don't have confidence in them for s***.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 01:45 PM) why do i keep signing up for the NFL package every year? I need my head examined. Why do I keep re-newing my season tickets?

2-0 Twins after a Young 2 run jack.

No Jenks here? "And there is the white flag, courtesy of Ozzie Guillen". 2-0 Twins.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 09:54 PM) Hawk: "Gardenhire knows. He knows." DJ: "He knows what, Hawk?" Hawk: "He knows, DJ. He knows." DJ- "Oh okay Hawk, I get you now". Hawk, knowing DJ is a moron- "Your what hurts"?

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 08:51 PM) "I mean, D.J., you're talking about a guy who might be -- no, probably already is -- a Hall . . . of . . . Fame player." Hawk- "This guy has a chance to be the best offensive player in baseball". DJ- "Oh yeah, without question". DJ (in his head)- "Shut up, you old senile f***".

The Angels are so over-hyped. If we get to the ALDS or ALCS and have to go up against them, if we can just score 4-6 runs a game with our pitching, we should be able to win the series's.

Nice Sexei. Too bad you couldn't do it earlier with 2-3 guys on. Nice job, Junior. Any other player makes the 3B pay right there. What a crock. Steal 2nd here, Figgins.

Kasper is such a lame announcer. He likes to scream and yell when their winning, but without even looking at the scoreboard you can tell by the tone of his voice if their up or down. It's pathetic. Like whoever said, those comments about Reed Johnson made me puke a little bit. BTW- I'm sick of everyone saying how for years they've sold out and supported them through thick and thin and all that crap that sounds like elevator music to me. Maybe they did sell-out, but there were games in 2006, just 1 year in particular, where there'd only be around 20K-25K a game in the seats.

My AJ away replica and my away replica that has CHAMPS 05 on the back is with the authentic lettering. That 1 black layer is downright ugly.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 08:41 PM) Someone tell Hawk that his boyfriend Carlos Gomez is a fool. Wow, Angels catcher Jeff Mathis has 13 errors this season. Or someone can just tell Hawk that Gomez currently sucks.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 22, 2008 -> 08:40 PM) Pretty much....I was just gonna say that. Ozzie pissed away that 4th inning so bad it's not even funny. And then last inning bunting OC. Seems like Oz chokes against "cerebral" managers. We've had, all of the following, this game: 1st and 2nd, 1 out Bases loaded, 2 outs 2nd, 0 outs 1st, 0 outs 1st and 2nd, 1 out 1st and 3rd, 1 out And we didn't score once.
