Hold 'em this inning Mark, big 1-2-3

I like on the replay how Paul hit that ball so hard that after his swing he stumbled backwards.

No, getting nailed on the hand in game 1 of this series and probably swinging a bat with a bruised hand did that.

 

Bad hand didn't cause him to swing at two pitches that were 2 feet off the plate, unless he was trying to get the bat thru the zone faster.

Way to go Konerko!! And Vance, Pavano is good because he has the best command of any pitcher we've faced this year.

 

Where was this for the past every year of his career?

Ball is flying out today compared to the first four games here.

On the DL.

Are you kidding? Konerko killed that ball and it wound up barely in the first row.

Frankly, he's probably totally off on his timing because of that hand, as active as his stance is.

Delmon Young just got picked off when he had a 5 foot lead

Buehrle must have picked off more runners than AJ has thrown out this year.

I didn't think he got that one at all. AJP hit a routine fly ball that was 10 feet from the LF warning track earlier, and Valencia/Kubel hit the wall. We didn't see a single ball go to the warning track yesterday.

Yep, just don't want to see him develop any bad habits or start doubting himself.

He's probably telling everyone he feels ok because that's what you're supposed to do, but what happened to Ozzie's old "you take yourself out of the lineup 1 day, and you sit the next day" rule? He'll probably prove me wrong by killing a ball later, but I don't think that a bruise like I'm sure he had after that HBP heals in 24 hours.

Pavano is just dominating with his fastball command.

That, was, fast.

And that inning just got Pavano 8 innings tonight

That was a fantastic inning.

 

Shut 'em down again Mark, so the meat of the order can tie it

Has the Twins catcher gone out to the mound tonight?

 

It feels like a totally different game today.

That was a fast 5th inning. They could have fit about 4 of those into a single inning of that Rays/Yankees game.

Great inning Mark

Haha, excellent point. Well, the 5th inning took like 6 minutes.

The Rays/Yankees game started at 4:00 here. I left to go do some brief shopping, got home about 5:45. It was the top of the 4th inning of that game when I got home.

That game ended like 15 minutes ago.

Damn, Pavano got lucky. Vizquel would have had a hit if it didn't hit him.

I think it actually sped up in the 2nd half.
