Here comes a 6 run inning. If it happens you must all bow down to me.....

According to the Twins broadcast, that's who Ozzie compared him to...and it didn't seem like a joke.

 

Oh...well, that's even more pathetic.

Santana out Rincon in. This is our only shot of coming back now, with Nathan lurking in the BP

Great, we're playing so poorly that Rincon is now coming in to actually get some work.

Oh...well, that's even more pathetic.

 

There's been a lot of pathetic things said in the last 50 days or so.

Alright, Johan's gone. Let's get some runs here!

 

Crap! Good shot by Tad but snared by Rincon.

Sorry, im not understanding that concept

The Sox blew a big chance to not only space themselves farther away from the Twins, but move up on the Tigers.

 

With that said, it seems like the Sox can't do anything right, yet we havent lost any ground on the Tigers since we last played them. Sort of puts things into perspective( OTHER teams go into funks).

Sox need to get it in gear in Detroit. Not much else to it.

 

Seems like our funk has lasted since right before the ASB. We really haven't played well for a long, long time.

Ricon is terrific...we have no shot at 4 runs against these two arms they will throw at us. I'd clear the benches now and get ready for Motown.

Does that advertisement say TWins Icecream?

Yes.

Ozzie yesterday called the guys like Punto, Bartlett, Rivas, Castillo...etc., the slap hitters, his word for them was "Pirahnas"

Just not good?

that was a strike

We're just not playing good baseball. Our starting pitching underachieves at least 3 times a week, our offense has become to stationary, and our base running/defense has been bad. I'm not sure how we're still in the WC lead.....as I don't believe we're playing like a playoff baseball team.

The Twins broadcast hasn't stopped telling me that, they seem to love it.

We've seemed lifeless for a while. It just seems like the rest of our competition has been crap for most of the time, too.

Insane isn't it? Imagine if we go on a tear....the wildcard race will be over in a hurry.

This home plate umpire stinks today. I have no idea what the strike zone is for either side. Thome looked at two strikes called for balls (Not that I mind of course) but jeez, a little consistency.

It's because a few other teams aren't playing like playoff teams.

Really no question. I don't expect this team to beat anyone really, though they sometimes do. But in the end, they really are not getting it done in many ways.

 

Btw, my post count now has only two digits less than yours.

The Sox should have, and I thought they were, get onto a roll after the series win over NY and the sweep of the Tigers. That was good baseball.

 

The split with the Royals was dissapointing, and this series was a lost weekend.

 

Agreed. Game 1 of this series was VERY disappointing.

 

Then there was the great pitching performance by Adam Bernero earlier in the week....

JD will come through

Lets get 2 runs in, and give Nathan a scare in the 9th!

I know Thome had to hold up to make sure the ball wasn't caught, but it's still funny that we didn't score from first on a double where the outfielder fell and couldn't find the ball for a minute.

TEASE~!
