QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 06:43 PM) I've been trying to work out a decent metaphor for Thome going to Twins and this is what i came up with so far. A warning: this is still a work in progress. Letting Thome go to the Twins is like: cutting off your nose, giving it to a rival, and then challenging said rival to a, "who has the best nose contest?" Maybe not SAT worthy, but it's something... It's like dating a hot chick, then she wants to settle down. You run away scared, wanting to keep your flexibility with other girls and suddenly she goes to date that jackass down the street that is your personal rival. Eventually, you settle down with an ugly girl with a not so great personality and you two have a contest for who has the better girl.

"Season is over. Ozzie dropped the big one." Over? Did you say over? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when Billy Koch blew it against Luis Vizcaino in Game 2 of the World Series? HELL NO! (Billy Koch? Forget it, he's rolling) And it ain't over now, cause when the going gets tough... The tough get going! Who's with me? LETS GO! ...what the f*** happened to the SoxTalk I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest season of our lives (other than 2005) but we're gonna let it be the worst! 'Oooh, we're afraid to go with you Quin, we might get our hearts broken." Well kiss my ass from now on. I'm not gonna take this! Mauer? He's a dead man! Pavano? A rejected Mario brother. And a dead man! Liriano? Dead! LET'S DO IT!

FEAR THE SPEED OF KOTSAY.

Am I the only one disappointed by Lillibridge not having Lord of the Rings?

Stone, that was left field.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 02:09 PM) Ugh. Too bad Black Jack wasn't on hand, I enjoy when he does a game. Didn't he and the organization have a fight earlier this year? I'd rather Frank. Also, start warming up the pen.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 02:07 PM) Shh. Moose will hear you. Oh god.

Oh Alexei, you so awesome.

Good job, stupid fans.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 01:27 PM) Galaragga = Zambrano! Oh lord. Always happens at the Cell.

Hawks not here but he makes a pick to click?

Good stop at least by Gordon.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 02:21 AM) I'm surprised you are not used to it yet, lost. I've changed considerably the last few weeks realizing a loss on here is Armageddon. It's kind of amusing to read the game threads. Oz gets the blame regardless (even in wins sometimes) and it always comes back to the DH thing ... unless Bobby happens to blow the save. Then for a day it's all on Bobby. Last night it was the offense and Putz. Both of them. Ozzie's one big mistake that I saw was not pinch hitting Ramon Castro.

Almost got in a fight with a Tigers fan in center field who flipped everyone off after the home run. Later saw him in bathroom, pointed out he was a Tiger fan, and he ran out.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 10:45 AM) That was fun. Lets bring in as many guys as possible that throw in the high 90s, but might not know where the ball is gonna go. I doubt there has been a bullpen that can throw as hard as Sisco, MacDougal, Aardsma, & Thornton combined. 2007 Fastball Averages Sisco: 92.4 MacDougal: 93.2 Aardsma: 92.5 Thornton: 94.3 Jenks: 93.9 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 13, 2010 -> 12:08 PM) I dont know, it appears Santos, Putz, Thorton, Jenks, Threets and even Chris sale can give those guys a run for their money. The two "soft throwing" guy in our pen are Linebrink and Pena and both are mid-90's. Santos: 95.8 Putz: 94.0 Threets: 93.3 Thornton: 96.1 Jenks: 94.9 Sale: 94.8 2010 Bullpen Wins. Used FanGraphs by the way.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 14, 2010 -> 03:23 PM) Werth wasn't 30 when he broke out in 07. He was 28 and his breakout power year was 08 and he was 29. Not much difference.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 14, 2010 -> 03:21 PM) I'd like a flip flop of Teahen and Quentin, both position-wise and lineup-wise. Then flip A.J. and Alexei and you have yourself a pretty good lineup. Still, I think this lineup Ozzie has out there today is pretty decent to begin with. Amazing what removing Kotsay can do.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Aug 14, 2010 -> 02:15 PM) Going to my first game of the season, anyone know where I can get cheap parking so I dont have to pay 23 bucks There's an ITT (or IIT, I can't remember which) on the other side of the highway that you can park at for 10 bucks.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 14, 2010 -> 10:33 AM) No you arent. You are just waiting for him to fail so you will feel justified. Just admit it. motion granted

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 14, 2010 -> 09:44 AM) I want to see a repeat performance of what the Sox did to Porcello last week. No mercy, only multiple b****slaps. Lets go White Sox Motion to rename "home runs" "b****slaps"

Happy birthday guys!

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 14, 2010 -> 12:17 AM) Wilkins hasn't played in 2 straight games now....hmm.... Promotion? Sept. call up? Recharging his batteries?
