QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 13, 2012 -> 09:22 PM) You need to gain. Staying put isn't gonna be enough. You have to beat the Torontos and KC's. Except the Sox have always sucked against Toronto. I'd be fine with a split. You're not going to win the division in these next 4 games anyhow.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 13, 2012 -> 09:21 PM) Two runs in eight innings?!!?!?!?!?! That is a 2.25 ERA. He is blameless tonight, this is on the pen and the offense. I wouldn't say blameless. The offense and bullpen are at large the issues tonight, but it's not like Peavy did absolutely nothing wrong.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 13, 2012 -> 09:20 PM) The pen has a lot of holes that you can't manage around on a daily basis. We have two solid setup guys in Myers and Crain. Unless you're the Texas Rangers, you don't have that. You gotta live with inconsistent relievers.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 13, 2012 -> 09:19 PM) Jake keeps getting jobbed by our offense. He f***ed himself over today. That 3rd inning was completely his fault. I know he shouldn't need to be flawless, but mistakes are mistakes.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 13, 2012 -> 09:17 PM) Who cares. We need to be gaining ground not just trying to hole onto this 2 game lead. These games are gonna come back to bite us in the ass I'm afraid. Especially in Sept. Detroit owns KC and they play them alot Staying put is better than losing ground.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 13, 2012 -> 09:16 PM) He was brought into a terrible situation there. He gave up two hits and they weren't exactly soft. The league's figured him out. Unless he's getting ahead, he's going to get hit.

Anibal Sanchez is clearly an NL pitcher. He's getting crushed so far in the AL.

Twins need 6 outs, have a 4 run lead.

Rookie pitchers f*** it up. What new?

Peavy will be lucky to go 6.

Gotta get Johnson. You don't want to face Encarnacion with men on.

Please get ejected Farrell. You're wasting everyone's time.

Davis interfered with Flowers there. Good call.

What are you doin' Wegner!?

Real risky by Jake.

Jake's got no control so far.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Aug 13, 2012 -> 07:20 PM) Chuckie says the ball Dunn hit in fact did hit the screen (with Dunn's face on it) and then fell on the tarp Sweet Jeebus. That's gotta be a 550 foot shot.

Adam Dunn's strength is flat out insane. Any ball he squares up and has just some elevation is a goner.

Wimpy = Krusty.

That might have gone 500 feet.

Adam finally hit one! And it went real far!

That might have been a HR at the Cell on a good night.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 13, 2012 -> 06:52 PM) Awful inning by Peavy. He hit the guy with a .242 OBP and he ends up scoring. Ugh.

Jake's becoming Gavin Floyd with these HBPs.

Gose's foot was on the line of the batter's box.
