QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 9, 2011 -> 04:05 PM) I'll never understand the hate for Jeter. And Joe, you're really complaining that the man with 5 rings from New York is getting more attention than someone who's never won a World Series and hit 600 home runs in the steroid era? It's not necessarily his fault people hate him. One peek at ESPN this week and you'll see why people dislike Derek Jeter. Maybe not as a person, but they just hate the idea of him. He's one of the most overrated players in the history of the game or at least of this era. Once again, not his fault, just the media's and the people who think of him as a god.

Earn your damn contract JFP. You could save your manager's job. But then again, I don't want that to happen...

Haha wow.

Not turning that DP did screw us over.

QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 08:28 PM) Well, that's one way to take the bat out of Mauer's hands. Don't mind it. Yet. I'd rather have our pitchers make it hurt instead of hitting them in the foot.

Not turning that double play is going to kill us.

Alexi Casilla...Matt Tolbert. I hate the Twins so much.

Looks like the first inning was an outlier.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 05:02 PM) Jeter pulls himself from All-Star game I wonder if Alexei will take his place. Maybe Peralta?

The mushroom man!

Floyd has been awful as of late.

It's rally time, unfortunately.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 07:37 PM) I hate to be Debbie Downer...but how many times has everybody seen this team have a big 1st inning and crap down their pant legs the rest of the game. I remember when the Sox had a 6-1 lead in the last game of the season against the Twins in 2008. Floyd ended up giving away a run here and a run there and well...you know how that ended.

When was the last time the Sox batted around?

Don't stop now boys!

It's so awesome to see this team score some runs.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 07:30 PM) Quentin and Alexei absolutely own Blackburn. He's a high fastball pitcher...without the dominating velocity to pitch up there. You need to lay off those pitches and force him to come into the strike zone. Nice to see Alexei back in the 2 hole again (finally). Blackburn's a sinkerballer. You're thinking of Scott Baker.

QUOTE (OilCan @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 07:30 PM) Note to OZ....keep the Cuban Missile in the 2 spot. That is all. Agreed. Alexei started hitting like crap once he started to get moved around to the 5th and 6th spots.

Blackburn's just terrible today.

I should rant more.

This s*** is getting so old. If the Sox get swept, there needs to be some damn changes made. Just for that, I seriously wouldn't mind them laying down and getting schooled like they usually do.

Textbook Twins baseball right there.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ Jul 7, 2011 -> 06:12 PM) Then root for the twinks. Sorry, but I'm tired of the negativity and the fact that most people on here behave (pack it in) exactly as the Sox do when the Twins come to town. Buck up. Have some confidence. And for Christ sakes quit acting like the Twins are the almighty. They have our number and have had for awhile. It stops tonight! Been there done that. And they still can't beat them.

I have absolutely zero confidence in the Sox winning this series.

I wouldn't even think about Beachy for Quentin. Where the hell do I sign?
