Interesting. I like Beckham at 2. But I'd flip TCQ and Ramirez.

 

For the second night in a row I am not going to watch the game. I refuse to watch anymore games of the Sox playing in that dome...I am done with it. Call me a bad fan but I am not going to have any fun watching it or coming on here for soxtalk. Sorry.

 

I'm with you...I can't watch us play there. As soon as Pods missed that ball last night, I turned on the xbox. I knew it was over then, and we were only tied.

But I'd flip TCQ and Ramirez.

Not when Q is doing his best Wise impression.

He's really not though. He's been hitting the ball better as games go on, looking more comfortable at the plate. The results will show it in due time, unless he reinjures himself.

 

nicccccceeee ozzie finally has made a good lineup

But I'd flip TCQ and Ramirez.

 

Not yet. Q has been hitting the ball better but still hasn't gotten the results. When he does and when he gets into a flow again.. Ozzie should make the move.

Kotsay against the Twins from 2006-2008 (only 40 ABs): .175 .233 .325 .558

 

And how does he already have a Sox hat in the photo while Castro is still sporting a Mets cap?

In case you missed it, Liriano is officially scrated and Duensing is starting in his place.

Francisco Liriano has been scratched from Wednesday's start due to swelling in his left forearm.

 

There's no official word on whether or not a DL stint will be required. Left-hander Brian Duensing gets the start in Liriano's place.

And watch we'll still lose. Their team is in shambles and we look like we have no chance against them. So frustrating.

Have we faced Duensing before?

Shambles may be a bit strong, no? This team was 6 or 7 our and 6 or 7 under in early June, and raced back to tie for 1st, now fell back 2 games with some recent suckage in the past week. Let's not assume we're tanking quite that quick.

2 runs in 5 innings. Faced him on July 11th.

Sorry for the ambiguity. I was referring to the Twins being in shambles.

Brian Duensing, totals this year: 18 IP, 18 hits, 9 BB, 11 ER; career vs. Sox: 2 games, 5.1 IP, 7 hits, 2 ER...

Let's hit this guy early and often, please.

Duensing is hot garbage and watch him mystify us

Hell the Sox let Baker dominate them... so I expect the same tonight.

Baker and Perkins looked like world beaters so I can only imagine what he'll do tonight.

rather see getz over nix

I wouldn't. Nix had some good AB's Monday.

...And Nix is the only above average defensive player on the team.

What is the over/under on how many errors we have tonight.

 

I'm so Soxually frustrated.

Get me a win on my 21st birthday Count! DOOO IT!

Over/under is typically 2.5 but it gets bumped to 3 when playing at the dome.

I have a good feeling about tonight!

 

Offense will wake up.
