So frustrating when the team you root for gets outhustled and beaten with fundamentals on a regular basis.

well i dont think i'll be watching tomorrow thank god for the def lepard concert

If we lose this, easily the most frustrating loss and pretty much avoidable loss of the season.

 

I don't know bout avoidable. It seems like a pretty typical L in the dome to me.

Except you, I, Ozzie, and everyone else in the world know that Jenks is not good in non-save situations.

I can understand him not doing well in blowouts, but 1 run games he should be fine, and if he's not, he shouldn't be getting big money.

Sit down Crede.

aight sit Gomez down 1-2-3

avoidable it was if you walked mauer

 

This reminds me of game 1 we lost last year in the 3 game series in September. As I recall, it was a 5-4 game? Basically where we should've won it but basically handed it to the Twinkies and they went on to sweep.

 

After Nathan shuts us down in the 9th, I'll be THRILLED with one win this weekend.

 

 

Well, the key difference is that we led that entire game...versus trailing or being tied from the beginning tonight.

 

Down 4-0 with Blackburn on the hill, we probably shouldn't have even made it a game. Then the Cuddyer play in RF reversed all the momentum, along with Beckham not getting the go-ahead run across the plate.

 

And Carlos Gomez single-handedly destroyed us that game...tonight, Mauer's the hero (theoretically), but I never felt we would win this game after we couldn't take the lead and you knew Dotel/Thornton/Linebrink would figure out some way to untie the game at the HHH.

 

PS: I hope Jenks throws a WP here so he can understand how stupid it is to let runners steal at will on the Sox in the late innings. Stupid baseball. Yes, concentrate on getting the hitter, but sometime it will come back to bite him in the big 'ol butt of his.

Should have been Thornton for Kubel, and then bring Pena in for the righties. What was Ozzie planning on doing if the Sox got the lead in the 9th?

i will admit specifically lately, he hasn't been....but i honestly think its more of a fluky thing and not something likely to continue for his career...especially coming in a 1 run game the mindset is still "get three outs"....in a 8 run blowout i can understand it more i suppose

Painful

What do you know Gomez bunts on Bobby. No chance.

haha i hate this f***ing dome

a bunt drives in the run wow noone saw that coming

Not sure why Hawk is getting so excited. Nathan will close us down 1-2-3 in the 9th

This is such a typical collapse at this f***ing stadium.

Carlos Gomez...sigh...

Who, except our team, didn't see that coming?

 

 

Does putting Bobby in, in a non-save situation EVER work out for us?

 

I know he needs work, just frustrating.

Itd be cool to see Jenks foot race Gomez but stipulation being Gomez has to carry an anvil

We win this game maybe if Getz's hit clears the wall or bounces off the wall.

It didn't and it's the usual heartbreak in the dome.

Carlos Gomez...sigh...

thats hawks boy....

This is such a typical collapse at this f***ing stadium.

you were spot on abotu that cuddyer catch...twins defense was the difference in this game....

Perfect, well played Gardenhire.

 

Jenks, you deserved to give up that run letting someone like Tolbert steal 3rd. RidONKulous.
