For fuck sake, don't walk this guy. I saw enough of that yesterday.

Walks haunt...I can wait til Halloween...please stop Fry!!

Keep him in the lineup please.

Looks like The Marshall is in town for the 8th.

Very surprising 7 to save the bullpen. Nice job Dane. Let's get that young man some more runs to solidify this W.

Flirtin with Disaster there.

Pasta ? time

No dessert anytime Nick flies out.

Is it goofy facial hair day for the Twins pitching staff?

Na na na na

C'mon now....time to tee off on the "make love in my Chevy Van" guy...let's Go!!!

Sox lead Buxton 4-2

I bet the TwinkieTalk Game threads have been fun this first game and a half ?

Launch Engel time

Porn Stache doesn't like his balls not being called strikes.

Throw your equipment around, Donaldson, you putz.

Engel busting his ass to stay in the lineup.

Excellent point, thanks. I guess we just roll with who we got. It sucks to see things like Gio Gonzalez used like a situational lefty but it is what it is. I'd rather just use him if we need a long reliever.

Is Clayton Richard still hanging around in Schaumburg? We might need some innings out of him this weekend.

I basically try to ignore them when they are not playing the Sox just because I have run into too many of their fans who are real asshats. Case in point, I had no idea they had thrown a no hitter til someone mentioned it here. Don't recall who threw it, just that I had never heard of him before. A Cub pitcher throwing a no hitter is no different to me than a Rockie throwing a no hitter...good for him but in general I don't really care. So I will not be wearing the dual hat...but I did love Ray Rayner.

I am sure with that starting lineup that it will be a very calm and quiet game thread this evening. Yes very calm and peaceful

His at bats are definitely can't miss occasions. It is so fun to watch his approach...and frequent success. There are several great hitters in this lineup, but Timmy is the most fun to watch because he can do it all imho.

Moncada

No Mazara or EE? Is Ricky a Soxtalk member now?

EE has looked awful lately but he does have 8 home runs in 133 PAs this year so at least there is some hope he might go deep. Mazara has 111 PAs with 0 homers. You cannot keep trotting him out there when he was brought in to be a power bat, not a guy who might get an oppo single after a battling at bat.
