QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 04:13 PM) I don't care what anybody says. Carlos Quentin is playing hurt. Castro. Hell yes. He probably is. He's limping all the time.

Come on Alexei.

YES! TIE!

How big was Ozzie's decision to put Linebrink in now?

Come on Castro.

1 run game. Carlos into second!

40th pitch for Papelbon. I wonder if he's tired yet.

That entire ball was off the plate, according to pitch f/x.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 04:06 PM) No reason for Rios to be stealing 3rd. All it does is disrupt the hitter. Exactly, no point.

My goodness, is Jason Repko annoying or what?

Good walk by Rios. What happened to Konerko?

This is a terrible way to go into Detroit. Our hitters, who aren't the most strong minded people, are probably going into Detroit feeling defeated. That's really bad news considering Verlander and Scherzer are going in the first two games.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 03:59 PM) SERIOUSLY, when was the last time this team had a rally to get a come-from-behind victory in late innings (more specifically the 9th)? Two things to take away from this game: our offense CANNOT hit with RISP, and our manager couldn't manage his way out of a f***ing paper bag. Last game in Cleveland. They've been good at getting the big hits lately, but not today.

Second time today that we didn't walk after going up 3-0.

Here comes a splitter.

Omar has to get on base with a walk here. Shadows are in.

I have a hard time believing we can come back from a 2 run deficit against Papelbon. Even if we have 2-3-4 due up.

Linebrink didn't have a terrible inning, he just made a couple of bad pitches to Beltre... Although Thornton should have been in right there. I hate how Ozzie puts piece of crap relievers in when we're down. It's like he just concedes, as in we have no chance to come back or something.

That's game.

Yeah, this game might be over soon.

Win expectancy is at 14%.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 03:42 PM) 3-2 Twins after 4 1/2 innings. Blackburn seems to have turned the corner. Or the Rangers just suck right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2010 -> 03:41 PM) Beckham at least continued with today's them of "take strikes, swing at balls". No surprise that Manny is the only one to show any f***ing discipline. The biggest pitch in that inning was the 3-2 to Alexei. If he takes that and walks, the inning is completely different.

Another wasted opportunity.

This is the same exact sequence he went on to Beckham. He's gonna get a fastball here.
