How can a career reliever just step in and throw 7 innings? Seriously? And why the f*ck didn't Pena pitch in the DET DH?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 12:09 AM) anybody see the film SUGAR about the young dominican pitcher? Not great, but not bad either. Is it a documentary?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 12:08 AM) So I missed game 1, who blew it. Lillibridge.

Becks has got that I'm gonna hit into a double play look going...

So, after Jones K's what happens then?

So after Kotsay grounds to 2nd, what happens then?

So, how will the bullpen lose this lead? I'm thinking Linebrink in the 8th with a candlestick holder.

The Sox will get owned by Bullington tonight. They won't score more than 2 runs....

I think Kenny is targeting Manny and he's gonna try and get him soon: Per mlb.com: If Manny does get by all NL clubs on waivers, the American League clubs who could potentially benefit this summer from Ramirez with reasonable shots at the playoffs probably include -- in order of claim priority as of today -- Chicago, Texas, Boston, Minnesota, New York, and Tampa Bay. If multiple AL clubs were to place claims, the one with the worst win-loss record would have the prevailing claim. Here's where it can be a little tricky: The standings are viewed for the purposes of claim priority as of the time the claim window closes, which is two days after the player is placed on waivers, not when the window opens. In other words, Los Angeles wouldn't necessarily be able to time the waiver request to steer Ramirez to the team it wants to deal with. Who will want Ramirez? If Ramirez does go unclaimed in the National League, the White Sox may very well make the prevailing claim. Recall that Chicago reportedly made a run at Ramirez on July 31 (after failing to get Washington to part with Adam Dunn) but got nowhere with its demand not only that it wouldn't give up any player of consequence but also that Los Angeles would have to cover all but $1 million of Ramirez's remaining salary. Ramirez earns $20 million in 2010, the final year of a two-year, $45 million contract he signed in March 2009. Of the $20 million owed for 2010, only $5 million is actually payable this year, with the remaining $15 million deferred without interest ($3.33 million due in June 2011; $3.33 million due in June 2012; and $8.33 million due in June 2013). Deferred compensation would be prorated based on when the dollars are earned (not when payable), and so any team picking Ramirez up for what amounts to the final fifth of the season would be obligated to him for about $1 million over the remainder of the season, and about $3 million more spread out over the next three seasons (with the Dodgers on the hook for the rest of the deferred portion). But in the event of a trade, those allocations could be negotiable. The point of the dollars discussion is that the money shouldn't be a major impediment. So if Chicago decided not to put in a claim, then Texas, Boston (surely only to block), Minnesota, New York, and Tampa Bay might find reasons not to do so themselves, but probably not fiscal ones. And again: If Ramirez were to go fully unclaimed, Los Angeles would be free to discuss a trade with any club.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 10:25 PM) I would normally say this is a great win, but it seems like it just might be too little too late. The Twins are hot. The Sox are cold. There are 41 games left. I think the Sox can pick up 1 game out every 10 played on the Twins.

Jenks will throw the 9th I would guess.

Hawk and Stoney are such freaking drama queens.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 09:24 PM) Maybe Ozzie will send out Peavy in the 9th to make sure he's injured indefinitely. LOL ^

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 09:23 PM) That would be devastating if he were out for more than a couple days. Linebrink has been brilliant lately...J/K.

He looks SICK. He has no color in his face. He looks like a corpse....

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 09:20 PM) Pull him regardless.....why mess around....even if he is ok.....did he swallow his gum ala Floyd Putz is toast. He's hurt and not telling anybody.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 09:19 PM) Danks and Floyd getting torched didn't help much. Mark stepped up. That simple. Exactly. Danks and Floyd blew those games more than anybody.

QUOTE (Frank_Thomas35 @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 09:18 PM) That was a half asses retaliation attempt Seriously. That was not intentional. Putz needs to get his mojo back. They're not gonna have him drill anybody.

Drill the Golden Boy!!!

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 09:15 PM) s*** might be about to hit the fan finally. I'm debating whether I should fire up the DVR. With the way Putz has been going, that was likely an accident.

Putz? Ozzie you p*ssy. Nothing doing guys.

Look at that linescore. 20 hits!

11-0. Eat it, you TwinkieMFr's!!

QUOTE (aprec32 @ Aug 19, 2010 -> 09:11 PM) Yeah.....it's time. We have to do something. I would love some fireworks like the Reds/Cards recently. That's a division rivalry.
