April 26, 201114 yr Humber! And Santos did the job, Ozzie put him in a screwy situation and he came through. At this point he has to be the closer, nothing else you can say. He earned it.
April 26, 201114 yr wow, nothing but credit to Humber, what a great performance. I have zero idea how this team is 3.5 behind Tigers and 1 behind Twins at this point, but I'm glad they are.

April 26, 201114 yr Normally a game on national TV is the kiss of death. Now that I was able to see a full game, what have you guys been b****ing about? Pitching looks fine.

April 26, 201114 yr I hope J4L didn't see the game tonight. He would be fuming mad to see Humber actually contributed to a win in his career. For the rest of us..... HUMBERGER! Edited April 26, 201114 yr by JoeCoolMan24
April 26, 201114 yr I predicted like every pitch Sergio threw in the 9th except for like 1. He is too damn predictable.
April 26, 201114 yr Amazing job by Humber tonight!!! Can't say enough about the kid.... Sergio....I LOVE YOU!

April 26, 201114 yr Holy crap! Are you serious? We won a game in which we were leading 1-0 in the 8th vs the Yanks!? Impressive guys. Props to Humber, he pitched one hell of a game.

I think Sergio was extremely fortunate that Teixeira hit a sharp grounder to Konerko instead of getting that elevated. Granderson had no problem killing that fastball either. ARod didn't stand a chance with his approach, but could have worked the count a bit better.

April 26, 201114 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 25, 2011 -> 08:58 PM) Sergio needs a nickname and not some s***ty one like "The Surge" He doesn't need a nickname when he has a theme song! (see youtube post above)
April 26, 201114 yr I said in the game thread I had a feeling we were taking this series...one down, Two to go! Lets keep it goin' boys!

April 26, 201114 yr I think I'm going to pick up Philip Humber in my fantasy league with J4L just to rub it in his face.
