Nice to see JD nailing the ball tonight.

Whooptie f***ing doo. Where was this for the last 8 weeks?

Well it is nice to see that the offense didn't quit down 5-0. They are back to 5-4.

I know, I know. It's been painfully missing for quite some time. But I'm still a big fan of JD, and in his waning days in a Sox uniform, I'd at least like to see him go out on a good note.

Could be another tease.

My biggest fear was the Sox went on a tear to end the season when they're well out of it, giving everyone a sense of false hope...and stand pat and bring everybody back without many changes. Even though there hasn't been many results...Flowers sure does look good at the plate.

Nice attempt out there Rios.

Ugh. Well that ought to do it for tonight. Torres has shown nothing since he has been back up here.

Why was Torres still the game with the bases loaded?

The Twins are living proof that games are not played on paper.

Because they didn't want Pena to give up the slam.

Why not? Its a chance to see what the kid is made of in a game that doesn't matter. People have been clamoring for exactly what Ozzie just gave us.

Except they're better than us on paper, too.

Agreed completely. Kinda wish we saw more of Nunez too actually. See that KW can look at some of these relievers making the minimum next season pitching well for us.

****ing Punto.

 

It's an embarrassment to the sport of baseball that the Twins have this .229 weak-hitting shrimp on a major league roster.

 

The only bigger embarrassment is that we keep letting Punto beat us.

 

All he can do is foul of pitches to work a walk, run the bases, and hit bloopers. So what do we let him do? We walk him, let him run the bases, and hit bloopers.

 

2 runs scored and 3 batted in - he's the difference tonight, not Mauer, not Kubel, not Cuddyer.

 

When will we learn that we should position our outfielders about 50 feet behind the edge of the inflield. I have never seen Punto hit a ball over an outfielder's head, but we've sure seen plenty bloopers that have just fallen in front of our outfielders.

 

 

 

 

 

Are the Sox in danger of falling to 4th place

I agree. They should have big high priced .250 hitters like the Sox.

Not to mention Cincy and Houston won so the sox will gain a game for the 10th pick (Oakland is also losing though)

Well that's something to look forward too. Maybe they can get another guy that will contribute immediately. Glad to see you've got a positive spin on this. We can be like Lions fans after week 10.

I guess someone told Jermaine he might want to start hitting now...

 

Thank you, JD. Now Punto won't be the Feldco Star of the Game.

 

Dye appears to be reading the paper. It might be too little too late.

Maybe he read a book on hitting.

Ug, Flowers out...

Could be. I'm sure he doesn't want to be embarrassed having his mom stick up for him in the media.

 

Ug, Flowers out...

 

Considering the only thing we are playing for right now is 2010, why not let the kid hit.
