A signature up 3-0 and then strike out swinging by Thome there.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 06:58 PM) Good line by the Twins' announcers...the White Sox are looking for a fifth starter, WE'RE looking for a first starter. Probably it's Blackburn for now, but he's certainly more like a Radke type than Liriano/Santana in 2006. ANTI-JINX: Yes, Gavin, you looked really good last time out against KC until things fell apart in the middle innings on you, along with the Alexei Dumbfense. You have to wonder what happened to Liriano. He was still good last year, although it was against really bad teams.

We need to knock Perkins out of the game this next inning and tag some more runs. More as in 3 or 4 more. Unless this Twins team goes down 7 or 8, they can somehow come back. We saw that last year.

6 up 6 down.

Why are Jason Kubel and Justin Morneau so ugly?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 06:53 PM) Small complaint, but why were they not running on that double? Probably because of what Cuddyer did to Getz yesterday.

Did Alexei have to jump on the first pitch? We've left two on third now. Gotta at least get one of them in there.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 01:28 AM) This is one of the many reasons that Kenny Williams is the White Sox GM. We could have this guy, here's an actual quote from Met's Gm Omar Minaya: "One thing we like about Francoeur is the amount of games that he plays." Because there's basically nothing great about him. At least he stays healthy right? His arm's pretty good, but he's not that good of an outfielder in terms of range. And we all know he can't hit very well...

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 11:39 PM) The ump with the emphatic called 3rd for the no-hitter! Wasn't a strike, but the hitter deserved that for showing the bunt to start the AB. According to Gameday, that ball was right on the outside corner.

We should have gotten more than just one there.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 11, 2009 -> 02:06 PM) I'd like to see Fields start over Beckham tonight. HUH? You're not serious right?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 06:33 PM) Above average left fielder? This was actually posted? Believe it or not, before this season, Soriano's been a pretty good defensive left fielder for the Nationals and Cubs. He's been among league leaders in both Plus/Minus and UZR. Beats me. I just think that bum knee and his bad offensive performance is affecting his fielding.

Supposedly, the Boozer deal is dead because they Bulls don't want to get rid of Hinrich.

Bad pitching in the first, bad umpiring, not executing with RISP when we needed to in the 6th, and the f***ing Metrodome lost this game for us today.

Dotel's going to lose this game. How fitting.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 09:15 PM) i once heard a rumor that ron coomer got an 11 on his ACT....not sure if its true or not but funny nonetheless That's hilarious. You have to try to get an 11 on that test. Most people with half a brain can get at least a 17 or an 18.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 09:14 PM) thats a f***ing strike gary darling It seems like everything just goes to s*** for us at this dome.

I don't think Dotel should go out there in the 7th.

At least we tied it. That's pretty damn surprising after that horrid first.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 08:30 PM) i saw that b.s. too I just found out that he got in because he was the next highest vote-getter amongst the player voting. Still stupid if you ask me.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 08:29 PM) why the f*** was nelson cruz picked over dye to replace torii hunter on the all star team? Joe Maddon is an idiot.

Part of the reason why Danks was so bad was because the home plate ump didn't help him out on even one call. Oh well. Can't expect any help in the Metrodome.

If Getz does what Pods does, he could be a hell of a leadoff hitter.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 10, 2009 -> 06:04 PM) Jeff Francouer is similar to Carl Everett in that, Everett doesn’t believe in dinosaur’s and Francouer doesn’t believe in OBP. He's not even hitting for power anymore. His SLG is about as good as Paul Konerko's OBP.

Best old thread bump ever my friend.
