Ohman threw that pitch to V-Mart so poorly he fooled him. Dumb luck. Should have been crushed, got away with one.

QUOTE (High Mileage @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 09:05 PM) Say what? Soria's cutter had been his meal ticket until his struggles this season. It's not a pitch he tried to add, it's a pitch he relied on too much... http://joeposnanski.si.com/2011/05/31/the-...ble-with-soria/ That's what the Twins' announcers said earlier...if you watch him nearly everyday, I'm sure you know more than they do. I haven't seen him in many months.

Surprised the Twins didn't go to Perkins against Hosmer.

Thome with a single, Valencia almost went yard and then the no-doubles defense leads to a single by Delmon Young with Tolbert to 3rd. Soria has really been shaky this season. Apparently, the Mo Rivera cutter he was trying to add to his repertoire didn't take. And Twins' fans hate Capps. Tolbert thrown out at home on a ball hit back to the pitcher. 2 outs now.

Twins' only run against KC scored in a wild pitch. Only one hit so far. But still leading 1-0. Indians win. JJ Hardy grounded out for the final out of the game with the tying run at 2B.

At least Greg can get annoyed that Nick Blackburn's throwing a shutout against the Royals. If they win, they'll be on a long stretch of playing 15 games over .500 ball. 71-33 in 2006. 17-4 to finish 2009.

In White Sox news, Alex Rios wasn't nominated for eviction from the all-important 6th spot in the line-up.

Maybe everything that Ozzie goes will turn out to be genius in the 2nd half. Except for batting Rios 6th. Teahen's even helped out defensively. Not feeling too optimistic that Reimold, Pie and Andino will lead a BALT comeback in the bottom of the 9th off Chris Perez.

This doesn't bode well. Bruney getting pulled. Looks like Ozzie has to go with the lefty. Ohman? Hmmm....I know it's 8-2, but I'd prefer Thornton or Sale with the All-Star break giving all those guys a ton of rest.

Didn't realize Bruney was averaging 7 walks per 9 IP (through) 2009 in the majors.

That doll looks either like Brian Anderson or William Katt, The Greatest American Hero. Definitely not Dunn.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 08:32 PM) Beltran They're already stuck with Bay. They have Davis at 1B. Who's their other OF? Murphy? Trying to figure out where/how Viciedo would fit in there. Or not.

Dunn has to be growing in confidence, particularly after getting a hit off Verlander. Against LHP, who knows. But he's making solid contact tonight.

What centerfielders are on the trade market besides Rasmus? If they have to trade Viciedo because of Rios....

DET a perfect 40-0 when leading after 7. We've lost 6 games in that same situation. Turn that around and we're in first place.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 08:21 PM) So Hawks fans, any juicy rumors on how Kane broke his wrist? Slamming his hand down on the coffee table after another Alex Rios AB with RISP.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 08:19 PM) So who had 8 runs in the pool when they saw verlander pitching? Who would have thought that Mark Teahen would be the defensive star of the game?

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 08:16 PM) Baltimore ties up the Tribe at 6-6 Are you sure? ESPN has it still 6-5 going into top of the 7th.

C'mon Beckham. Let's not put this game on Santos, please. 43,593 at the game tonight.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 08:10 PM) Would you PLEASE get rid of the piece of s*** Kenny!!! Do you have $43.5 million? He's all yours!

Jesus, Rios. You're super lucky not to be in Chicago or they'd be booing you more than you've ever heard at USCF.

Sin City, you're scaring me. What happens in Vegas should stay there. Or Thailand. Nice to see Quentin getting some solid singles/groundballs and not just K's and popouts.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 08:02 PM) LOL, you want your wife to be a slut??? You don't want Kris Benson's wife, that's for sure. She would be the perfect villain on all those Real Housewives shows. BTW, J-Lo's now back on the market.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 15, 2011 -> 08:01 PM) If I was a MLB star making millions, you bet I'd have a trophy wife as well.....and she'd be a slutty trophy wife....not one that doesn't give it up. I think I'd go for Emily Maynard from the Bachelor 15. She's actually the first girl I've ever seen on that show who really seemed close to 100% genuine. She reminds me a lot of Phil Mickelson's wife, but even cuter.
