I know there's few people on this threat tonight, but am I the only one not impressed with the Twins at all this year? I don't even care if I jinx the Sox tonight, I'm not impressed with the guys they've called up to replace their old starters. Bartlett looks like someone who you can jam whenever you want. Losing Silva will be a massive loss for them.

Anyone know Garland's pitch count? Maybe I'm not the only one, but I don't have much confidence in Politte coming into a tie game, I'd stick with Garland. He's made about two-three bad pitches today, I'd let him go one more...

While I think his analyst work has improved, the last inning showed that DJ has to be one of the worst play-by-play announcers of all-time.

I don't really think you can judge a team on two-and-a-half games, but maybe that's just me.

 

Come on Timo, clutch hit right here.

Haha, Timo! Nicely done

I was thinking that. I also was thinking that the Sox caught a huge break or unbreak however you want to think about it, when Buerhle being out 6 weeks turned out to be a false alarm. Perhaps a sign of things to come.

I TOLD YOU STATHEADS TIMO IS f***ING CLUTCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

But wouldn't you think he'd be more useful being used as a pinch-hitter in clutch situations?

I just was reading through the entire thread, so I see now that Timo hits the HR no one is complaining about him being in the 5 hole

He still sucks and he still shouldn't be hitting 5th but it happened to work out alright.

Yup. and I get tired of hearing about how much money he makes.

TIMO GOES YARD!!!

 

 

4-3 GOOD GUYS

 

 

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYESS!!!!!!

Please Crede, get a hit.

A.J. just hitting some rockets tonight. Best thing is that he's also avoiding hitting into weak double plays, something that really plagued him last season.

Watching Crede this season, it amazes me that they've never tried a different loading mechanism for his swing. He's having a terrible time getting the bat through the zone. Why not try a leg kick or timing mechanism like Sosa used?

That was a good sign for Joe. I hope that knocks some of the bad luck outta him.

Or we could let our pitchers hit and use the DH for Crede. :puke

Heads, he looked good that AB. Fought off some tough pitches inside, layed off some tough changeups away, and when he got his pitch, he ripped it. Everyone's ripped the ball off of Radke this inning, except for Rowand -- and A-Row still got a hit.

 

Crain coming in?

I'm sorry, that's such bulls*** -- that third pitch to Uribe was clearly off the corner... f*** this ump.

Crain in, my last post aside, I hope that does give Joe a little something to build on, we need these two baserunners to score, come on Juan and Pods

 

Nuke......I'll gladly eat crow if this holds up!
