kitekrazy Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 (edited) QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jul 8, 2011 -> 08:54 PM) Another embarrassing matchup against the Twins. I love the disgust in Stone's voice when he's describing these scrub relief pitchers out there for Minnesota. We need to lose these next two games. Nothing may happen, but if there ever was a moment to push change (ANY change) it'd be then; right before the ASB. The Sox will be in 4th place. There's not much that can be done to change. For trades it will be garbage for garbage and there's nothing on the farm. Edited July 9, 2011 by kitekrazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any changes being made, unfortunately, even after the inevitable sweep that will occur by the end of the weekend. Greg Walker has a job for life.

greg775 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 With our inability to beat the Central, this might be our best record at this point in the season for many years to come. Owned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OilCan Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Bruney has recently done a good, good job out of the pen lately. No runs allowed since June 24th. 6.1 innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobryansson Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Hawk! Shut up about the 4th out! Yes, it could/should have bee turned, but he's fast! It was Floyd's batting practice pitching that gave up the 6 runs! And, oh yes, the home run given up to a nobody hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Can you imagine how happy Thome is being on the other side of this "rivalry?" He got to hit the home run which was our last highlight against these guys now he gets to kick our ass. On a serious note ... how long will fans show up for this? Is the Cell experience so great (if it is, awesome) that the product doesn't matter much? Or will our crowds start dwindling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 At least we are halfway through this misery called the Twins series. Two more days of getting owned and we can forget about the Central Division til after the AS game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I hope there are some good Sox fans at least making some good money on our faceplants vs. Minnie and the Central. Those who bet wildly on the opponent would be bringing in some good money overall. I would like to see somebody benefiting from this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it matters. He still can have a lotta fun 19 days in the regular season against his old team. Will we take a game against them all year? Law of averages mite have us 2-17?

I am actually surprised we have been well above our AVG on this homestand. I want to say we have been around 27K each game this homestand, and like 31K In Monday's game. Our AVG was only about 23K.

It's amazing how it's a vicious circle, cycle. He makes so much money he has to play. But by playing him, we won't make the playoffs, will keep losing which ultimately will make the team lose money. It'd be neat if they would just bench these high paid guys who can't play anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
