nothing like Anderson, Uribe and Hall as the bottom 3 in todays lineup

 

 

Kind of looks like the bottom of my Little League line-up

 

 

I would rather have Lucy up and not hitting than Hall up and not hitting. At least Lucy can throw a runner out and play good D behind the plate.

Tangentially... Lucy is 2-for-2 so far today in Charlotte, including a bunt single. When was the last time we saw a Sox hitter get one of those?

 

So, apparently the Twins don't televise all of their games. So, even though I pay for MLB ExtraInnings, today's game will be blacked out here in Minnesota. Instead FSN North will be showing infomercials and reruns of 'Best Damn Sports Show Period'

 

Lovely.

Owens will be coming up soon is my feeling.

Heh. He just hit a HR. He's hitting well over .300 as well.

 

You think they will send down Lexi?

Lexi would be the best guy to send down, but my guess is Ozzie sends down Brian as his moves are usually a position for a position move. Lexi will then go down when Richar comes off the DL.

 

 

 

With the day off tomorrow, I don't get why AJ isn't playing. Considering our offensive struggles and PK being out, you need everyone you can get in the lineup.

The way Ozzie has been using Lexi most of the time, Owens for him IS a position for position move. I think that's what will happen. Look at the fact that BA has been playing a bunch lately.

Ozzie is resting people for the long October offseason of scratch golf.

day game after night game, that's prototypically when you sit your starting catcher.

 

But in this case, with the day off after, plus AJ knowing how to play in that stadium, and with Konerko out... I agree, unconventional thinking was needed here.

 

my pick to click: Brian Anderson

Alright offense, kick some ass and help Masset out and get a win (hopefully you too kick some ass Nick).

a bad outing from masset....and i wouldnt be surprised if broadway starts to nip at his heals a bit more

my pick to click: Brian Anderson

im saying toby hall gets his first HR as a chisox...which is really sad

Twins are going with the same lineup from yesterday.

Tough out for Cabrera there - he's finally starting to look like he's getting it at the plate. Hopefully he gets hot.

What happened? With a lot of us working today, we'd appreciate detailed info when possible.

Nice THome, why would they send Thome???

 

 

At least the goddamn run scored.

line drive slicing towards line at LF made a good read and running catch.

But seriously, we could have Thome on 2nd with Dye up and 1 out. What a stupid baserunning gaffe.

Hahaha Thome tried for the triple?

Hit a hard liner down the left field line but Young tracked it down nicely.

Swisher walks.

 

Cabrera hits a hard line drive that Young caught in LF.

 

Thome doubled to center, Swisher scores, then Thome out trying to make it a triple.

 

Dye pops out to 2B.

 

1 run.

 

Blackburn looking very hittable.

 

3 straight at bats where Thome hit the ball well.
