Boston may have caught a break. Manny was really zoned in on that AB.

We need to come through. We've wasted enough opportunities with risp. No excuses.

I'm more worried that Beckham would chase a splitter than a high fastball.

Papelbon aced him.

Awful...I swear once Beckham strikes out in a game, you might as well pull him. He's really been a mental midget this season.

This is the same exact sequence he went on to Beckham. He's gonna get a fastball here.

Another wasted opportunity.

This is one of the worst displays of lackluster offense I have ever seen. I seriously just want to puke. We should have scored about 10 runs at this point.

Beckham at least continued with today's them of "take strikes, swing at balls". No surprise that Manny is the only one to show any f***ing discipline.

3-2 Twins after 4 1/2 innings. Blackburn seems to have turned the corner.

The biggest pitch in that inning was the 3-2 to Alexei. If he takes that and walks, the inning is completely different.

Haha, Linebrink now in the game. You suck Ozzie so much!

Or the Rangers just suck right now.

Well, Blackburn did destroy the Mariners in his last outing also. His sinker is finally working again.

Win expectancy is at 14%.

good thing we benched him today

Yeah, this game might be over soon.

I wonder what percentage of Beltre's next contract will go to his supplier?

This isn't Ozzie's fault. Sheesh.

This isn't Ozzie's fault. Sheesh.

 

True Fact

 

Ozzie doesn't decide when to take pitchers out that have nothing left, and are at 120+ pitches.

 

 

 

Wait...

This isn't Ozzie's fault. Sheesh.

 

You have had years of seeing Ozzie leave starters in one batter too far because he asked the guy after 118 pitches if he felt fresh. Here we are with the game on the line and Scott f***ing Linebrink is in. What in the name of all that is holy is a scrub pitcher who has sucked pretty much for a while in the game at this point of the season.

 

 

Ozzie's determined to take Kenny down with him.

Don't worry, they're separate entities.

That's game.
