LOL at the fact that D. Wise is our best option right now against Nathan and Oz isn't using a PHer....

shoulda brought in jason nix

although i would agree that ozzie should have called the ibb, but shouldnt there be blame put on aj for calling a fastball right down the middle on a 2-0 count??(maybe it was discussed but dont feel like looking)

catchers dont call for fastballs right down the middle....

Very s***ty loss after Yankees beat piss out of these guys the last 3 nights.

Badness all around.

Only positive was coming back from 4-0. Could not complete the deal, however.

Well, that went about as expected.

f*** it. We'll get them tomorrow.

I would REALLY prefer to close this thread and move on. Thoughts?

Anyone....

gave that one away in the 1st.

 

lost to their best pitcher. kick their ass this weekend.

well for calling a fastball when it was the most obvious thing in the world

It's Matt Thornton. You either call a fastball or a slider he rarely throws and with a huge risk of a wild pitch with a runner on 3rd. Plain and simple, it should have never even been something we have to discuss.

"And the Twins dominance continues on the Sox." Shut up Dick Bremer, that makes no sense at all.

 

Someone tell that idiot the sox are 4-3 versus his crap team

(and to ask where was that dominance in game 163 while there at it)

At least rongey's show will be entertaining tonight

I wish we could fast forward through this weekend and just hear the results.

The Sox need to play some ball. Do you agree if we are 6 back in the loss column at the break we are in deep s***? Can we count on Cleveland to win a game in Det?

If were 6 back should be selling at the deadline and getting all we can for these guys. ie: Thome, Dye, Linebrink or jenks

I thought the sox were changing when they started clawing back, but it just seems like the damn twins make every single amazing defensive play and get every single call when we play them there. We get no breaks, ugh I hate watching the sox at the dome. It's torture.

I've been in the chatroom all nite. Where have all the chatters gone??

What's the motivation behind pitching to Mauer with Thornton? Also, why was Wise allowed to bat in the bottom of the 9th?

Edited July 11, 200916 yr by Thunderbolt

Good questions both.

Two good baseball men in Hawk and Stone immediately called for the walk. Actually Stoney immediately, then Hawk after a pitch or two chimed in he also would walk Mauer.

 

I think on a lesser note the play in rightfield on the Getz bomb was huge. It needed to clear the fence or hit the wall to give us the lead.

Also the Twins' bunt was bad news for us.

And the fact we couldn't kayo Blackburn his final two innings and could do nothing with their set up man.

We definitely had our chances.

 

But Oz had a bad game; Thome a bad game; our pitching overall was ordinary to bad. Wise was his normal oh-fer. Beckham RBI hit but just a 1-for-4 as his mild slump continues.

The M boys did OK and will do even better the next 2 games; Kubel 3 of their 7 hits. Yuk. They scored a lot of runs off seven f***ing hits. Ugg.
