June 27, 201213 yr Paused the game at the precise right moment to snap this picture. He should not be allowed on the bus. Anyone could do better. EDIT: even funnier that it uploaded up side down for some reason haha Edited June 27, 201213 yr by Cali
June 27, 201213 yr I hate upside down Will Ohman. Side note. Does Chris Sale start the all-star game?

June 27, 201213 yr Also, good to finally win a laugher after the last month or so. Especially against an AWFUL Twins team. I mean honestly, they never had what you'd call "great" players in the early 00's division run, but the philosophy was what made them winners. I don't think the philosophy has changed, and the players are just as mediocre so what's the difference? Target Field?
June 27, 201213 yr Cleveland making some noise in NY, 5-4 bases juiced 2 outs NVM Yankees got the win!! Edited June 27, 201213 yr by kapzk

I don't think the philosophy has changed, and the players are just as mediocre so what's the difference? Target Field? It was pretty much a tsunami of everything going wrong at once. Morneau's concussion. Mauers injury problems and power outage. Liriano never recovered from TJ. Having to let Nathan walk away after TJ. Losing most of their pen to FA. The new ballpark plays nothing like the organization they built. The rookies that used to step in and destroy people have been awful.
June 27, 201213 yr QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 02:07 PM) so what's the difference? Target Field? i think playing outdoors is a HUGE part of it. as cold as it is here in April, i'm sure it's worse up in MIN. bats don't like cold weather.
June 27, 201213 yr QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 03:09 PM) Yankees win, Sox 2.5 up! Sweeeeet. Is that our high-water mark in the division? It ties the biggest lead of the year again.

June 27, 201213 yr btw, nice to see ubaldo go back to his usual average/below average ways, 6ip,4er,4bb's

They found ways to win with really mediocre teams.

Does anyone know how Youkilis generally does against the Yankees? Was he known as a Yankee Killer for the Red Sox? Edited June 27, 201213 yr by balfanman
June 27, 201213 yr QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 04:12 AM) I'm even thinking about the '02-'04 Twins before you had M & M playing full seasons. They found ways to win with really mediocre teams. They had amazing infield defense, though. Great back of the bullpen, first Hawkins/Romero/Guardado, later Rincon/Reyes/Nathan, etc. Hunter was a VERY VERY good player, if not a superstar. But having both Mauer and Morneau crumble from MVP form has killed that team. The Hardy/Hoey trade was awful, and they haven't fixed SS since then. Having to let Kubel and Cuddyer go in order to keep the M&M boys has hurt as well. Revere and Span are good complementary players, but not players to build around. Just not enough power. They're lucky they made a great pick-up in Willingham or they'd be in even more trouble as an organization. Casilla and Niskioka were disasters in the middle infield. Blackburn regressed, Baker levelled off and Slowey self-immolated.
June 27, 201213 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 04:14 AM) Back then the pitching was incredible, and pen was lights out. One name, Brad Radke, enough said. And Santana. The name would strike fear into the hearts of Sox fans around the world when they saw the pitching match-up.
June 27, 201213 yr QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 02:13 PM) Holy hell, I just noticed the Mets are whupping the Cubs 16 to 1. Wow Despite the new savior, Anthony Rizzo?! Tsk, tsk.
