Quin

MATT CAPPS GET THE f*** OUTTA HERE

Hawk is making sense.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 12:16 PM) LeBron James GQ Interview: 'We Hated Cleveland' (as a kid) I think if I've learned anything, it's that you have World Wide Wes and not Maverick Carter as your PR man if you don't want to be hated.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 12:48 PM) That was the guy he shot down as an injury risk right? What if he could have him on the extreme cheap though?

I hate the Twins more then any club out there. So, since I won't be home to Baker, I have this to say.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 09:46 PM) I'm telling you we need a good ole fashioned bench clearing brawl with these f***ers. EDIT: HA!!! Juan Nieves agrees with me. He wants a brawl too! On the Score this morning he said we have no fear and he wants Thornton to go out and smoke Mauer once and see what happens. I love Juan Nieves and I'd love to see this happen. f*** the Twins.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 01:16 PM) In that case...I'd call D1, G, and M-56 heroes. D1 and M-56 and all Gavin gets is "G"? Why not "G Series" since G already sounds like Gatorade's new branding.

QUOTE (J.Reedfan8 @ Aug 16, 2010 -> 10:25 PM) If I had to bank, something the AA pitching coach saw mechanically and tweaked it. He probably got away with it in Kanny, but when he reached W-S, it was more exposed. Also has helped his control which is evident of his SO:BB ratio. Can't even blame the park either. He's pitching better away (though a small sample thus far) than he has at home. Viciedo 1-14, 5 SO since being sent back down. If not giving him consistent AB's messed with his development, then screw Ozzie. If its just a cold spell, thats fine.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 05:29 PM) Is it me, or does Mike Stanton have more raw power than any player in baseball? He's built like he's from some state-of-the-art baseball laboratory. A whopping 30 of his 56 hits have gone for extra bases. And these are ropes, missiles and bombs he's tattooing. No cheapies with this guy. He's slugging .569 with an ISO around .300. And the dude is 20! He's going to K. No doubt about that. But 40-45 HRs next year seem a foregone conclusion to me. I'm drawing a total blank right now. Has anyone ever done that at age 21? There is a reason I got excited when some draft place compared Trayce Thompson to him.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 16, 2010 -> 08:23 AM) Udonis Haslem gets a felony Marijuana possession charge. It must take a crapload of pot to get a felony charge. Also, Portland wants Taj for Rudy.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 08:55 PM) Assuming Hawk's family is ok, I really hope that the "illness" was a pulled muscle caused by not stretching

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 06:05 PM) the sad part for me is that i'll continue to hold out hope for some reason that we'll be able to make up that 5-6 games that we'll be down by that time even though it looks like the month of September will be a nightmare for us Sept 1- @ Cleveland 3-5 @ Boston 6-9th @ Detroit 10-12 vs KC 14-16 vs TWINKIES 17-19 vs Detroit 20-22 @ Oakland 24-26 @ Angels 27-30 vs Boston tough month for us coming up... Sweep them. The team shall be lifted by the mighty shoulders of Dayan Viciedo.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 06:50 PM) Especially since knowledgeable Twins fans would always respond with, "Jamie Burke, run over and trampled to death." It was bad enough when we were taunting the Orioles' starters and counting automatic victories there. However, I don't think ANYONE is going to be overconfident coming into this one... And the problem is that Liriano ISN'T DEAD. Were he close to dead, like 2007 and 2008 and 2009, he wouldn't have ripped the hearts out of our season by getting out of those bases loaded situations with that nasty slider. I'll see your Torii Hunter steam roller and raise you Game 163 Griffey-Danks-Anderson-Thome.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 06:45 PM) Ok, I have a real problem with the Morneau taunting here. I thought about it while posting it, and was blinded by the fact that I really hate Morneau. Changed it to Liriano.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 06:43 PM) I've been trying to work out a decent metaphor for Thome going to Twins and this is what i came up with so far. A warning: this is still a work in progress. Letting Thome go to the Twins is like: cutting off your nose, giving it to a rival, and then challenging said rival to a, "who has the best nose contest?" Maybe not SAT worthy, but it's something... It's like dating a hot chick, then she wants to settle down. You run away scared, wanting to keep your flexibility with other girls and suddenly she goes to date that jackass down the street that is your personal rival. Eventually, you settle down with an ugly girl with a not so great personality and you two have a contest for who has the better girl.

"Season is over. Ozzie dropped the big one." Over? Did you say over? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when Billy Koch blew it against Luis Vizcaino in Game 2 of the World Series? HELL NO! (Billy Koch? Forget it, he's rolling) And it ain't over now, cause when the going gets tough... The tough get going! Who's with me? LETS GO! ...what the f*** happened to the SoxTalk I used to know? Where's the spirit? Where's the guts, huh? This could be the greatest season of our lives (other than 2005) but we're gonna let it be the worst! 'Oooh, we're afraid to go with you Quin, we might get our hearts broken." Well kiss my ass from now on. I'm not gonna take this! Mauer? He's a dead man! Pavano? A rejected Mario brother. And a dead man! Liriano? Dead! LET'S DO IT!

FEAR THE SPEED OF KOTSAY.

Am I the only one disappointed by Lillibridge not having Lord of the Rings?

Stone, that was left field.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 02:09 PM) Ugh. Too bad Black Jack wasn't on hand, I enjoy when he does a game. Didn't he and the organization have a fight earlier this year? I'd rather Frank. Also, start warming up the pen.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 02:07 PM) Shh. Moose will hear you. Oh god.

Oh Alexei, you so awesome.

Good job, stupid fans.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2010 -> 01:27 PM) Galaragga = Zambrano! Oh lord. Always happens at the Cell.

Hawks not here but he makes a pick to click?
