clyons Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 That Tomay fellow is good. Wish we could have a lefty hitter like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 At least our lineup is more flexible than theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 If Ozzie dares compliment the Twins at all after this bulls*** he should be fired on the spot. I don't want to hear how that was a "good clean hit" on AJ or "that's the way you're supposed to play the game bulls*** from Ozzie. And if the Sox don't exact revenge on the Twins the next two games, both baseball-wise and extra-curricularly, then I question the team's character and heart.

rafacosta Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 what is sad is...thome hit a bomb agst one of the best lhp in the game...he has 17 hrs...and our lh hitter, kotsay, is 0-22 agst lhp and weakly grounded out to 2nd with the bases loaded early in the game to kill our momentum. ozzie, my concept about you has just changed.

Hollywood_AU Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 This season is over. If we can't win that game right there considering the Delmon Young crap, Alexei's homerun, finally getting a lead, etc THEN we just can't win it this year. 2010 IS OVER.

fathom Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I sincerely would like to thank Delmon, Thome, and Thornton for making that quick. 3 pitches, and game was over. At least none of us got our hopes up in the bottom of the inning. Will we ever retire a Twins hitter in a save situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done it before and I would take my chances with him over Putz and Pena. It would be risky using Sales. Stink spreads on this team and it eventually got to Thornton.

fathom Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 It's too bad Jenks couldn't keep himself in better shape so he could get through a season healthy. His worthlessness in the 2nd half has had a negative chain reaction on the entire team. I used to think it was Peavy's injury that would be the downfall of the 2010 Sox, but I would say Jenks not answering the bell after the ASB is what did us in.

ThunderBolt Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 You've got to admit there's a certain poetry to the Thome thing. An awful kind of poetry though. Like Vogon poetry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 It's funny, I see everyone saying how heartbreaking this game was. Sure, it sucked and the ending was quite ironic. Maybe it's because fatherhood has altered my priorities, but this one really doesn't upset me that much. I don't think we'd outlast the Twins the rest of the way even if we won tonight. Sure, a win would have been great. However, at the end of the season, the better team usually wins the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bottom line is we all love this team and the direction they go in oftentimes affects the way we are able to go about our days and nights every April - September. But in the end, we have to remember this is a game. I'm as big a fan as anyone, but I learned to always try and put things in perspective. Deep breaths. Tomorrow is another day, and another game.

My thoughts exactly. I just stood there and laughed. It's ridiculous how that ended. I would have been so much more upset if the Sox failed to score in the 9th and just went quietly.

scenario Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 When Thome played for us, everyone on the planet knew he was practically an automatic out when a lefty reliever threw him offspeed stuff that tailed away. But now he's playing against us and what do we throw him? Fastballs over the fat part of the plate. ****. We deserve to lose for being stupid.
