QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Jul 28, 2009 -> 12:29 AM) Have another gem Mark. We might need it. I'm not asking for another perfect game from MB,not even a no-hitter,just a complete game shutout...we'll have a 50/50 chance of beating the Twinkles if they dont score a run!!

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 10:26 AM) My thing about Bartman is how do his actions, which had minimal impact on the game at best, explain the 8 runs that followed? And the loss in Game 7? These things are completely glossed over every time. Anyone with a half a brain know's it's the billy goat's fault.

I give up... these games resemble reruns of the same game with the Sox always losing in the end,a bad movie with a predictable bad ending.The Twins are even probably bored of playing us at home knowing they'll end up winning no matter what we do...meh,I'm just frustrated

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 09:36 PM) I'm willing to bet that we dominate them in their new stadium, much like we dominate them at home. I'm not too sure...i haven't seen their dome come into play in their last victories against us,they just play smarter and are more fundamentally sound and Gardenhire just out manages Ozzie,but i could be wrong

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 09:31 PM) Same script every year. We beat up on them a bit at home, then we go into the ASB. We come out, and our backsides pucker up and we press. Go to the dome, kick the ball around, score early on a dong or two and then give up hitting for the rest of the game. Same thing year in and year out. Catch the f***ing ball, hit the f***ing ball. We are a self fulfilling prophecy of suck up there. do you think in their new ballpark things will change or is it their style of play that kills us?

Twins suck against everyone but us,they are Hall of Famers,what a joke,this team sucks

At least CQ is hitting the ball hard

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 27, 2009 -> 09:17 PM) So how will we give up a run or two making the ninth inning even more of an impossible task? A) Solo HR B) Error C) Bloop hits D) Walk, SB, bunt, Sac Fly E) Twinkie dust. it doesn't matter,we ain't scoring anymore,4 runs for them is more than enough

we aint scoring more runs this game,f***ing offense

jesus effing christ do we always have to follow the same script!!!

Nah,its not a response,it's my statement to Goldilocks request for a trade,notice I didn't quote anyone one in particular,just wanted to chime in on this bum's trade demand.

His dude has had 4 years to get his s*** together and he hasn't done a thing at the plate to deserve a starting job. It's time we let him go and flop somewhere else...he's a defensive specialist and nothing else. Good-bye BA=1st round bust.

I always liked this kid,Ozzie and KW are outta their minds to pick Colon over CR.

Got a chance to watch the game because my cousin DVRed it,I agree with sonik22 and zenryan that Team USA just didn't put up any resistance the last 20 mins of the game which is embarrassing and if I'm the USA coach I'll make sure to never call up those guys who quit in the game... It does set up a interesting match in Mexico City in August though.

Our offense just refuse to put the other team away late in the game...come on Richard,get er done!!

that 3-1 pitch wasn't a strike

QUOTE (Sonik22 @ Jul 26, 2009 -> 06:22 PM) Well in the big picture this game means jack s***. None of the players that started for the US will start in the WC and a lot of them won't even be on the roster. OK,so what you are basically saying is that playing for national pride means nothing since this doesn't count for nothing in the big picture,hmmmmm If the USA b/c team would've beaten Mexico's youngsters by that same score I highly doubt that would be the sentiment here,you got your asses handed to you at home,own up to it.

I didn't watch the game but 5-0?I never would've expected a beatdown like that,they are usually closely fought games between the two sides...

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 11:27 PM) Eh I'd say Rugby's actually thr #3 sport in Australia now (behind Australian Rules Football and Soccer which has exploded down here since the last World Cup when we made the 2nd round). Japan,the Koreas,Hong Kong,Taiwan etc prefer baseball.

Based on those numbers,Blyleven should be a shoo-in...

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 03:05 PM) Mark is going to have to get 250 wins to even be in the discussion, IMO. Wow,thats a really high bar you've set...and you need at least 250 to even be in the discussion? Thats an average of 15 wins for 17 years,there won't be many pitchers in the HOF from this point on if you need at least 250 wins to even be considered,in this day and age of bullpens being a huge part of the game and thus blowing many wins a starter might have,there isn't going to be many 250+ wins starters in baseball anymore. I think 200 plus should be more of a realistic standard for HOF status,IMO.

The double high of Mark's PG with us being in 1st place was short lived.... back to reality

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 05:30 PM) and this isn't even a rip on Ozzie as much as it's praise on Leyland, but he's managed a hell of a series so far. yea,not even close...weren't the Tigers slumping til we came to town by the way?wtf

outclassed by a team that's not even that good

Any sort of off speed pitch would've had Granderson way ahead...he pulled a 95+ fastball,f***ing AJ
