August 24, 200817 yr QUOTE (Nokona @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 03:22 PM) THANK YOU BJ UPTON FOR BEING A LAZY PIECE OF GARBAGE please explain, I didnt get to see the game as I was at work
August 24, 200817 yr It was great to see this team give away a possible win to only comeback to win a game they should have lost. Huge momentum heading into tomorrow's strange DH.
August 24, 200817 yr Upton caught a fly ball in CF that Aj tagged on and moved into second base. If Upton had fielded it normally AJ doesnt get to second and they turn a double play on the next at bat. Instead the crazy run down happen, AJ gets on third and Sox win.
August 24, 200817 yr Great win! Hopefully this gives the boys a lot of confidence going into Baltimore. Time to start a winning streak.
August 24, 200817 yr Needed a little help from the umps but got it done. TB was 68-0 leading after 8. MN 64-0 leading after 8 , currently ahead of Angels 3-1 in the 7th where the Angels are 14-3 and 11 straight in day home games. Angels trying to rally now.

He ran the ball down in the right center gap and he did make the mistake of thinking AJ wouldn't tag and trotting further into the gap once he caught it . If he fields it normally he's still got some momentum carrying him into the left center gap. AJ might've tagged anyway. 3-2 Twins now heading to the 8th.

August 24, 200817 yr That was a fun win guys, thanx for letting this OG Sox fan take part in the game thread from start to finish, my first time doing it all the way thru......... On to Baltimore!!!!!
August 24, 200817 yr what a finish.. just wow. aj and his poker buddy doug up to their old shenanigans again!
August 24, 200817 yr Wow. Watching Swisher hug a smiling Alexei with everybody about to mob him gave me chills. We needed that momentum swing. Let's keep it going!
August 24, 200817 yr AJ is just awesome. One more reason for all the pricks to hate him. Thome was great today as was Sexei.

AJ very well may have the highest "Baseball IQ" in the league. I've never seen anybody exploit other players' weaknesses and use the rulebook to his advantage in the way that he does. I haven't seen Jenks pitch on a regular basis, but is that two-seamer/sinker new? I know that he has that hook and a slider and believe that I've seen him throw a two-seamer before, but never with that much movement.
August 24, 200817 yr It really shouldn't have been that difficult today but for poor defense, and we should have won yesterday, but it was nice to see Paulie, Jenks, and Lexi come up big to get us a win. Let's get first place back tomorrow by winning two, regardless of what the Twins do.
August 24, 200817 yr before Paulie got up to bat I said "it will erase everything you've done this year if you just get me a hit" so now I'm #1 paulie fan.
August 24, 200817 yr how huge would it be to be in first place AFTER losing a series to the rays? unfreakingbelievable. lol
August 24, 200817 yr QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 24, 2008 -> 10:23 PM) please explain, I didnt get to see the game as I was at work You need to make sure you watch Sportscenter and/or BBTN to get a look at the rundown. AJ made this win happen with that play
August 24, 200817 yr LOL 4-3 ANGELS 1 OUT TRIPLE BRINGS VLAD HOME. KEEP THE LINE MOVING! EDIT: 5-3 LOL Edited August 24, 200817 yr by joesaiditstrue
