Nobody can close out a ballgame right now. crap.

What do you expect when Thornton comes out for his 3rd inning of work?

That Tomay fellow is good. Wish we could have a lefty hitter like that.

At least our lineup is more flexible than theirs.

If Ozzie dares compliment the Twins at all after this bulls*** he should be fired on the spot. I don't want to hear how that was a "good clean hit" on AJ or "that's the way you're supposed to play the game bulls*** from Ozzie.

 

And if the Sox don't exact revenge on the Twins the next two games, both baseball-wise and extra-curricularly, then I question the team's character and heart.

Maybe Williams should be canned for listening to that drool that comes out of Guillen's mouth

Boy...this one hurts

Could you imagine how far that would have gone if Thome was more of an asshole?

what is sad is...thome hit a bomb agst one of the best lhp in the game...he has 17 hrs...and our lh hitter, kotsay, is 0-22 agst lhp and weakly grounded out to 2nd with the bases loaded early in the game to kill our momentum. ozzie, my concept about you has just changed.

Mr. Incredible all class giving both teams credit in the post game. Get's a shaving cream pie for his effort. Looks like his eye is stinging got off pretty quick after it.

Hopefully we set the record for CS and the season isn't a total loss.

This season is over. If we can't win that game right there considering the Delmon Young crap, Alexei's homerun, finally getting a lead, etc THEN we just can't win it this year. 2010 IS OVER.

The dark side of the force is stronger ?

At least we get Liriano and Pavano now.

I sincerely would like to thank Delmon, Thome, and Thornton for making that quick. 3 pitches, and game was over. At least none of us got our hopes up in the bottom of the inning. Will we ever retire a Twins hitter in a save situation?

He's done it before and I would take my chances with him over Putz and Pena. It would be risky using Sales. Stink spreads on this team and it eventually got to Thornton.

He's not a long reliever.

It's too bad Jenks couldn't keep himself in better shape so he could get through a season healthy. His worthlessness in the 2nd half has had a negative chain reaction on the entire team. I used to think it was Peavy's injury that would be the downfall of the 2010 Sox, but I would say Jenks not answering the bell after the ASB is what did us in.

Maybe Danks shouldn't have gave up those runs in the 1st. The pen sucks and it's the worst time for it. Where's the "Coop will fix em"?

Excellent point.

You've got to admit there's a certain poetry to the Thome thing. An awful kind of poetry though. Like Vogon poetry.

It's funny, I see everyone saying how heartbreaking this game was. Sure, it sucked and the ending was quite ironic. Maybe it's because fatherhood has altered my priorities, but this one really doesn't upset me that much. I don't think we'd outlast the Twins the rest of the way even if we won tonight. Sure, a win would have been great. However, at the end of the season, the better team usually wins the division.

The bottom line is we all love this team and the direction they go in oftentimes affects the way we are able to go about our days and nights every April - September. But in the end, we have to remember this is a game. I'm as big a fan as anyone, but I learned to always try and put things in perspective.

 

Deep breaths.

 

Tomorrow is another day, and another game.

My thoughts exactly. I just stood there and laughed. It's ridiculous how that ended. I would have been so much more upset if the Sox failed to score in the 9th and just went quietly.

When Thome played for us, everyone on the planet knew he was practically an automatic out when a lefty reliever threw him offspeed stuff that tailed away.

 

But now he's playing against us and what do we throw him? Fastballs over the fat part of the plate.

 

****. We deserve to lose for being stupid.
