QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 02:24 AM) Crede? Oh yeah...and it hurt us when he lobbed the ball to Iguchi to turn the DP against the Tigers last Thursday.

Why does our left side of the infield continue to half-ass their throws? It's been happening for far too long now.

In the past, our hitters made Nathan's fastball look like it was 120 mph.

Ok Mike...impress me.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 02:19 AM) Might as well accept we used up all of our breaks last year. Even when we were playing and hitting well we weren't getting many breaks. Oh well, it was worth it. Absolutely. The more time passes, the more you realize what took place last year. When guys like Cliff Politte are playing at an all-star level for the entire season, you thank your lucky stars that your team capitalized on it and actually won the World Series. This would be torture right now if we lost in the playoffs, and then came back with all this hope to try and get back to the WS again.

There's a shocker...we don't do crap against a Twins reliever. This seems like 2002-2004 all over again.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 02:17 AM) wheres A-Rod when you need him Funny thing is that he played superb defense against us.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 02:17 AM) So pods can outrun a hit into the hole. Thank god we have him for his blinding speed. He made that play closer than I thought it would be. It might have been one of the first times I saw him hustle down the line all season.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 02:16 AM) I agree, get some fire pumping into the team Nah, he'd rather rip on Van Slyke I don't blame him for not getting tossed....just thought it might have been a good scenario to pump his team up.

When's the last time the opposition threw a ball away at first base against us?

Wow...sensational play by Bartlett. We're just not getting any of the breaks/calls right now.

Ozzie....this would be the perfect time to get ejected.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 02:13 AM) Ugh. Steroids comin in. I'd rather face Johan. I'd rather face anyone in baseball other than Johan. I would have rather faced Gagne in his prime over him.

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 02:12 AM) don't make me find the various threads and posts detailing his month-by-month stats please...anderson has dramatically improved, there is no denying that....and i'm not arguing that it was a bad pitch and he pitched super duper excellent. he has put us with within striking distance to win a ball game. Trust me, I know all the stats. Anderson has been a crappy hitter this year, end of story.

I think we can scratch Flash Gordon from our wish list. He's imploding again tonight.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 02:09 AM) Doesn't drop the gloves mean they are going to fight in hockey. Are you guys gonna webcast that? What are the odds on the fight? I'd watch it.

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 02:08 AM) yes that's what the line says, but the actual gameplay was rather great except for the 1 pitch that wasn't even hit that well. you can't argue that. it'd be like me looking at anderson's barelly .200 and call him a crappy hitter... Um..Anderson has been a crappy hitter this season, and I'm so sick and tired of hearing "such and such was great except for 1 pitch or inning". You play to win the game, and that means getting 27 outs.

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 02:06 AM) he pitched a good game still, had the one bad pitch that turned into a popup caught in the wind, leave him alone. 7 innings 4 runs. He needed to do better than that. This gun is 1 or 2 mph fast tonight. I'm beginning to wonder why Contreras isn't at the 96 mph he was for an extended period last season. Rather, he seems to be 92-93 mph a lot more this year. Don't get me wrong...he's good, but he's not nasty like he used to be.

Veteran presence rules!

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 01:56 AM) Yes. Veteran presence appeared to call for a high Forker. Ugh

Crede! Don't give up guys...do it for Maverick.

I have a question...and someone correct me if I'm wrong. Was Sandy Alomar sorta standing prior to the forkball to Bartlett? If so, that's just extremely stupid.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 01:53 AM) Minnesota is capitalizing on every single mistake. Uncanny. They're in good shape to win 33 of their last 41 games. You're doing a lot of things right to put up that record, especially with how they have on their team.

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 01:52 AM) i don't even care anymore Cool...thanks for sharing.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 01:49 AM) 1st HR of the year for Bartlett. They cannot seem to avoid the big inning in close games. Do you feel like this team is just sitting around waiting for something bad to happen? After these close plays didn't go our way, it was just a matter of time. Ozzie needs to go out there and get ejected. Maybe that will spark the team. QUOTE(MSHAWKS @ Jul 26, 2006 -> 01:51 AM) I guess all the experts were right about the wild card coming out of the central this year. No, I'm going to say they're going to be right.
