Isn't he dreamy?

Besides Carlos Quentin, I think I'll give my wife permission to leave me for him if he ever came calling. It's better than my ex-girlfriend, who had a crush on Mike Tomczak.

He sees so many pitches per at bat though. I wonder if Swish was put in a contact hitter role if he would rise to the occasion

 

 

Wasn't Swisher hitting 2nd earlier this year? Swisher belongs nowhere near the top of a batting order, walks or not.

Beckett's fastball = firm

That 3-2 pitch by Danks to Lowell got a "Holy s***" from me.

Fathom, do you like AJ in the 2 spot?

 

6 up 6 down for Danks....anyone get the feeling this is gonna be a 2-1 type game tonight? Both pitchers look great early.

Wow Wilson didnt seem to care too much about no hitters

 

Damn he's sexy.

not with these bullpens...

Junior looks at called strike 3. Whatver happened to protecting the plate on a 3-2 pitch on the corner?

Is the WCIU gun juiced again, or is it accurate this time around?

 

This Danks guy seems to be an alright pitcher.

Gameday has Danks's fastball sitting from 92-94, hitting 94 regularly.

Twins up 2-0.

Absolutely not...it should be Alexei or Swisher.

Adam Everett homer...ugh

Absolutely not...it should be Alexei or Swisher.

agreed. due to the fact that Alexie provides nice balance at the bottom between the sluggers i would just switch AJ and Swish.

Had volume down and I shrieked when WCIU mistakenly put up 1 out just then

 

Swisher and Uribe with back to back hits. Amazing.

Great base running by Swisher. AJP has to avoid the double play here.

Cabrera isn't exactly helping matters either with his .269/.327/.352/.679 on the year and .620 OPS since the start of July. It's just not fair, Hamilton gets Kinsler and Young and Quentin gets Cabrera and Pierzynski. Ouch.

I think its worth mentioning that Cabrera isn't a leadoff hitter. I don't think he's ever led off in his career. From what I understand, hitters hate leading off, no one wants to do it.

run manufacture, good.
