Mauer, M-Cab and Ichiro. Those are the three guys you just know are going to kick Sox ass everytime they come to the plate.

The scene is the Green Mile where Percy Wetmore "forgets" to wet the sponge on top of Eduard Delecroix's head before he's executed. Honestly, it's actually more disturbing in the book too.

That was Mauer's first damn shot in Target Field too.

Ah, f***.

QUOTE (WinorDie88 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 09:48 PM) why was AJ stealing? Busted hit and run. It's one of the perks of OZZIEBALL!!

Liriano bails out AJ. AJ takes it, he's cool with it, then feels guilty and decides to give himself up.

YES!!! Nice execution by Rios.

Nice start of the inning by Alexei!

Brent Morel is back to playing SS with Viciedo back.

HE GAWN!

I f***ing hate Kubel.

Figures.

Another productive out from AJ!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 07:03 PM) or calling the pitches, however somehow the last 3 losses are all his fault. I don’t remember saying that. I do remember Ozzie telling me not to watch my favorite team (The Chicago “f***ing” White Sox) because I disagree with a personnel move that he abdicated for.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 07:00 PM) Ozzie isn't pitching the 9th innings. Yeah, he’s just the man deciding who is. I guess if I have a problem with that stuff too, I should probably stop watching the White Sox.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 06:46 PM) From Cowley twitter "Oz to Sox fans crying about Thome: "Don't like it that Thome isn't here? Good, don't watch the f------ White Sox." That’s rich coming from the man whose managing to make White Sox games nearly unwatchable.

Keep digging your grave, Ozzie. I’ve lost every ounce of respect I’ve ever had for the man this year. It’s great to know that we have this immature jackass representing our organization to the public and making personnel decisions.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 06:18 PM) Someone pointed out to me today that Jim Thome's WAR is greater than that that of Mark Kotsay, Juan Pierre, Mark Teahen, Andruw Jones and Omar Vizquel COMBINED. It's a safe assumption that the person wasn't Ozzie Guillen.

I'm going to be pissed if we try to start something with the Twins. We're not in a position to give them extra baserunners just so we can prove how macho we are.

Hitting a guy does nothing other then give the Twins a free baserunner. It doesn't change anything. The next course of action should be to win some damn ballgames.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 12:12 AM) There are some posters here that will either never get that through their head, are stubborn, have a very poor memory, or are just mentally challenged. An admin/mod might literally have to pull up like 5+ threads in January/early February or a poster to bump a few old ones to have it sink in. Am I the only who doesn’t remember some mass anti-Thome movement on the board during the off-season? I keep hearing this come up, and I only remember a small turn against him after it was quite clear that he wasn’t coming back, and some people tried to defend Ozzie’s stance on the matter. I remember a lot of us wanting to get younger, but not at the expense of logic and reason.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 11:57 PM) Actually, if Thornton would have had his good fastball, there is no way Thome even sniffs it. Apparently he just did not have it when he went back out there for the 10th. I’d agree with that. You add 5 more MPH’s to that fastball and Thome gives you a big swing with no dice. I still don’t like the location though.

You got me. I give up.

I don’t have a problem with Thornton being in the game. I have a problem with him throwing Thome’s kind of pitch in Thome’s wheelhouse. That’s a troubling piece of pitch sequencing.

Once again you people are underrating the importance of a DH who can play the field.
