7/26 Minnesota Twins @ Fenway

[fxkatt]

I'm still not happy about it, at all. It is a really dumb rule that the home team decided to start this game, got down 5-0, and get a redo.

 

So, we all do agree with Cora's and Price's anger then. I agree: screw the Orioles for this.

This offense’s having a tough time with Gibson.

On the commercial, Mookie says that his Dad is a Vietnam veteran. Mookie is only 25. Every Vietnam Vet that I know is 70 or older. His dad must have been pretty old when Mookie was born.

[d-money]

Can Johnson give us 6 innings?

He'd have to have been at least 39 when Mookie was born.

[d-money]

I would throw back Johnson for the top of the 6th.

I have seen Gibson with a good Sinker before but his Slider tonight is the best Slider I have seen from him ever i think.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Based on Gibson's innings pitched and hits allowed, he averages 7 hits per 9 innings. He's also ranked 18th in MLB in ERA. He's a quality starter.

[d-money]

This is what would worry me about this team come postseason. Inability to hit good pitching.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Someone s/b warming at this point.

[Jasonbay44]

What the hell was Rosario doing there?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Thank you, Twins.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

JBJ has now moved into 2nd place for bone-headed running plays.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Maybe Leon s/b backing up SWI.

[d-money]

Johnson has to put the batter away there. He had him 0-2

[d-money]

Game hangs in the balance. BP needs to do the job.

[d-money]

Come on hembree

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great job by Johnson tonight and his reward is to go back to the BP. Screw that. This guy deserves to be a starter until he doesn't. Put POM in the BP or on the DL.

Btw, Johnson dd this against a good offense, not the s*** line-ups the SOX have seen lately.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Too bad the Twins aren't sellers; who wouldn't want this Gibson guy?

[d-money]

Can’t hit for s*** tonight.

[d-money]

He’s always been known. I believe the skankees where asking about him. I wish we could find a way to hit this guy. We will see this type of pitching in the postseason.

[d-money]

Here we go with this pen.

As for the last game in Baltimore, keep in mind that MLB execs are too stupid to do anything sinister or coordinated on purpose and pull it off. I will bet anything that the O's dragged that crowd into the "Yards" last night to sell them beer and peanuts and hot dogs and started the game (their choice at that point). Then waited as long as they could but by 10:30 realized that no matter what they did, whatever crowd was there was not going to be buying much more beer and whatnot and the souvenir business must have been hideous last night. So by 10:30 they said to themselves, we aren't going to sell anything at this hour. We are going to have to pay to keep the place open and oh by the way we are down 5 zip...so they sent the head groundskeeper out to the umps to day "boy I don't like this...I don't think we can get this one in fella's. Lets call the game!!!!!! The umps were in no mood to argue and that was that. Would bet anything that is exactly how it went.

[d-money]

Throw strikes plz

[d-money]

Throw f***ing strikes

[d-money]

Disaster by this f***ing pen.

[Jasonbay44]

Here comes the bullpen to blow this one.

[d-money]

Need to keep this 1-1 at the very least.

[FredLynn]

I'll take that
