Flash Tizzle

Looking past this s***ty game tonight...... Minn will be one game behind us, and 3 games behind KC after tonights game. Colon better not pull an Anaheim on us. And then Sun. cotts needs to step it up.

MIght as well leave Adkins in. Doubt there is any sort of comeback in the works.

Olivo swinging at s*** a foot off the plate. He shouldnt be up in the majors. Yes, he has an arm, but it seems like every time we need runs Olivo K's. Give burke some playing time.

Sox once again wait till the later innings to start attempting a comeback. 8-2 Rangers

KC/Minn update Gooble has been stuffed by Minnesota. Minn is leading 8-1

CCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRSSSSSSSPPPPPPEE ball.

LOL. Spoke one pitch too soon. Adkins gives up a two run bomb, 8-0 Ranger.s

Adkins holding the lead. Runner of third, 2 outs. A possible bright spot out of this game.

Anybody that think Hawk is bulls***ting hasn't seen the game. Este hasnt had ANY f***ING outside pitches called. That includes both corners of the plate. Esteban can only throw the ball right down the middle. Fire manuel now. Im reinstating it...........you CANNOT get beaten by a scrub named Lewis. How much more enthusiasm can you have on your club then playing in a divsional race. These next two games will be brutal.

So long to Cy Loaiza............6-0 Rangers. Cy young candidates dont give up 6 runs to the f***ing rangers.

I don't blame Jose for getting tagged. Its not a one run game, and until that point nobody from the Sox had even touched third. He was trying to make something happen. And Capns right, who is saying olivo would of came through. Ump is screwing loaiza on outside pitches..........Hasnt had one called on the outside corner.

Este his the leadoff batter. Loaiza gets another bad break with a ball bouncing off his mit, going into the outfield. This is f***ing bulls***. Take Este out manuel, hes going to get rocked.

I hope este is taken out of the game. He shouldnt have to go through this s***. Atleast 2 runs were because of partisan umpiring. Since the first inning it was obvious nothing would go our way. It seems a travesty that we're still 2 games behind Kc.

Frank looking to do the hat trick. He does.

Lee doubles in the gap, 2 down. Rangers leading the living dead 4-0

Looks like I'll have to carry this thread again 4 minutes till gametime ----Twins have Rogers (9-6, 4.97) vs. Gobble (2-0, .76 ERA) Game is starting at 7

I'm rooting for KC to sweep............I would rather see minnesota out 7 then have gain ground on us. Reason being if minnesota sweeps Kc, or wins 2/3 then the central starts becoming a log jam ala NL Central. Every game starts to make a difference (not that they aren't now), and a loss could mean a jump from first to third. I would glady give up one game to KC if it means Minnesota is 7 games behind KC and 4 behind us.

lewis is one of those pitchers who goes out and throws his best s*** against us, but collapses against any other team. Dave Wills has a point, you dont beat the Rangers 3-1, you end up beating them 12-9. We need our guys to put runs often.........very often.

Though we must worry about the Loaiza-killer A-Rod, who has a career record of 11-20 with 5 HRS off him.

Its amazing, the Cubs didn't even get headline treatement and they are in a tie for first place.

Anybody know for sure yet if Thomas is playing first base.......

He will probably win. But not before every single one of his movies are used in a newspaper headline, or campaign slogan. Heres my prediction for newspapers across the nation after Arnold wins the recall. "Arnold wins Total Recall" "Arnold terminates the competition" "End of Days........FOR GOV. DAVIS"

Seems nobody was fooled when Bobby Hillbilly was put on the DL. Cubs probably put him on there so he couldnt be traded, but the Pirates wisely waited till he got off to sign him Im glad he's traded so I don't have to hear his name or how he did after every game for the Iowa Cubs.

I thought that honor belonged to Gary, Indiana. People were probably thinking the same thing you were when The Cell was announced as this years all-star game. Whatever they deside to do to the outfield fences, Comerica will have a hard time following up the home run derby performance that will happen next year at Minute Maid Park. Someonebodys going to hit 30 HR in one round.
