GODDAMNIT why is closing games so hard!!!

Really have to question AJP contiinuously calling for a splitter after it was obvious Putz had no command of it. I'm ready to try Santos as our closer.

 

Here Here

 

That was an ugly swing.

Haha, Jones is taking 3-1 pitch down by one run? Just seems like we're playing not to lose tonight.

Letting AJP bat here? Mercy, I hate a manager who caters to veterans.

This loss is not on Ozzie.

We need Jenks bad badly....hope he's not out too long.

This loss is not on Ozzie.

 

Fine, I'll give you that, but not having Castro bat for AJP is just terrible.

This game might go down as the beginning of the end.

 

Unless they can take 2/3 of Minnesota, it's going to get away from the Sox.

Give us a thrill Gordon

Find the gap Gordon

Teasing us.

Anybody send Ramirez?

Anybody send Ramirez?

No, but Ozzie might!!

Terrible loss...ironic that Jackson keeps pitching great, yet the offense sucks. Thanks for upgrading that KW!

That sucks.

Very, VERY disappointing game....2 runs against Porcello and company is really laughabl.e

At least we have Garcia going tomorrow....rain please?

This season boils down to one decision:

 

Kotsay for 1 yr / 1.5M

 

Or

 

Thome for 1 yr /1.5M

 

Not to mention he has filled in for Morneau for the last 6 weeks.

 

That my friends will most likely be what does us in...

There has got to be lineup changes made. Having Rios bat behind Pierre/Omar is not working the last month or so. No doubt in my mind our offense would be better with Beckham batting 3rd, Rios 5th, and AJP 20th.

Well this sucked.

I think we match-up fine against the Yankees

Twins are 23-11 since Morneau got injured, and they're batting .300 during that time. You have to tip your cap to them for overcoming a huge injury to a top 5 player in the AL.

Couldn't agree more. But it ain't gonna happen.

I still would like to flick off the person who on The Club said that it didn't matter if we got some lefty bats, as in the playoffs, we'd face a bunch of LHP.
