Adkins has done nothing this season to deserve to be on the MLB roster. I understand wanting to have a long reliever on the team, but you don't need someone on the roster who can't even get AAA hitters out.

If we don't score next inning the Minnesota bullpen would have pitched a shutout since Timo's hit.

Oh well. We're still 11 games up and our first 4 game losing streak comes in mid August.

And the Twins have a ton of momentum, while our offense continues to absolutely struggle. I actually admire your optimism, but this Sox ship is sinking very, very slowly. The holes in the boat have opened up, and we need to do something to plug the holes.

nice to see so many diehards in here!

Oh yah. We're definately sucking right now. There isn't any question about that. Our offense is awful. Still, we're gonna win the division. The Twins are still like 13 games out.

I never could understand why we had Adkins up either.

 

 

Yeah I'll never understand either.

Adkins does not deserve to be here. Period. I dunno who was behind the call up, KW or Ozzie but what could they have seen in a guy struggling in AAA that warranted a call up? I'll give taking him over Baj b/c of the long reliever thing but over Diaz or Munoz? No way. Adkins didnt only lose this game for us. The fact that our offense only scored 4 runs in 14 innings is pathetic. But the bright side is our pen did a hell of a job. Its a shame Adkins had to ruin that. Now we get to seee Nathan in the bottom half, leaving our chance of pulling this game out at a minimum. I really cant understand why he was ever called up.

I am adiehard. I think we will win and go to the playoffs. But, the awful truth right now is we aren't playing like a championship team and haven't for awhile.

Flip, flip, flip, flip, flip, game over.

Oh well. I can definately go to bed now. Night everyone. Hopefully Mark can throw a shutout tomorrow night.

Damn.I played a hockey game and this game is still on.

to be used in mop-up duty - but they haven't used him that way either.

Good perspective. We're also banged up a bit.

I just don't like losing streaks including our home field. If we're gonna drop 8 in a row, do it on da road.

The thing is, Adkins can't even get out minor league hitters. I think many on here will get their wish, as Baj will be called up tonight and Adkins sent down in order to get a fresh arm with the club. Hey Hawk, shove the "where would he play" up your f***ing ass.

sorry for da double post

We really need to win tomorrow. I could be wrong but I don't think tonight's game is gonna end in a win. It's just so frustrating to always lose tough games to the Twins. This always happens.

Great, Hawk's going to be b****ing about the umps for a week now. Adkins blows....when everyone knows he's going to allow runs before he even comes in, there's a big problem. Just cause KW made an awful trade with Oakland involving Durham, he doesn't have to keep him in the organization. See ya you fat piece of s***.

i dont think adkins can get the last out

this is just sickning.

all i can say is wow. :banghead

Well 1 fan let us knew how he felt about Adkins.
