How about shaking up the lineup? This lineup with Quentin in it is obviously not working. I still would love to see Beckham in the 3rd, 4th, or 5th spot just to add a line drive hitter to the mix. Having him bat behind the struggling Quentin is ridiculous.

8th inning. we ALWAYS score a lot runs late in the game in minny. Don't stop now!

Pods/Alexei/Beckham/Dye/Thome/Konerko/Pierzynski/Quentin/Getz

Once more, everyone remember that play by dye.

This defense is so comical. It's crazy to think it's way below average at every position besides two tonight.

Gotta get Mauer right here. HAVE to.

is it in Span's contract that he has to hit a triple against the Sox?

Thank you Mauer. Let's get some f***ing runs.

LF, 2B and 1B?

 

I'm sure you are thinking of 2B/1B. But I think Carlos is average for a LF.

Man this team just looks like such a mess right now...

Pods/Alexei/Beckham/Dye/Thome/Konerko/Pierzynski/Quentin/Getz

 

That's not really breaking up the slow bunch though. I wonder if KW might go after another outfield bat like Luke Scott.

Good game, Danksy

LF and 1B?

 

1b and 2b

Danks really pitched well tonight. He gave us a chance to win.

That and for a brief spell in the minors he had to urinate on Moises Alou’s hands every night.

Well it's this inning or never. If we haven't caused a blown save this season against another closer, it's not going to happen against a guy who owns us.

I remember when Ramirez used to go to right field. That was last year, when he was a dynamic player.

Pods and Alexei have looked awful tonight. No patience and no productivity.

Are they running backwards down the line or something.... Pods and Alexei look so slow right now.

Rolling over on outside pitches. Nice.

 

Think Walker has ever uttered the term "go with the pitch"?

How much you wanna bet JD swings at a bad 3-1 pitch?

Or: "watch Gordon Beckham and do that"

Seriously, we could use a solo HR.

Last out for all intents and purposes. Paulie may need to hit another.

It's absolutely f***ing sickening to see how every hitter we have besides Beckham and Nix tonight have pulled off the ball. Dye might be the worst, as all you have to do is throw it on the outside half and he has no chance.
