I think Jermaine Dye is the very good hitter who looks the least intimidating at the plate, taking that title from Eric Chavez sometime when EC went from very good to crap.

JD Drew?

302. aleskel Posted: September 30, 2008 at 09:54 PM (#2961955)

does Jenks have a nickname yet? Seems like he could use one. How about "Chunk"?

303. Gamingboy Posted: September 30, 2008 at 09:55 PM (#2961957)

Oh, 'twas a good run. Next year we will have our revenge. Neshek will be back, full season of Liriano. And there is always the chance that Ozzie Guillen will overthrow his friend Hugo in a coup.

304. Lassus Posted: September 30, 2008 at 09:56 PM (#2961958)

The Twins really were the Mets tonight. Maybe it's my fault for showing up to this chatter. Sorry guys.

305. sunnyday2 Posted: September 30, 2008 at 09:57 PM (#2961959)

Of course Punto had the platoon advantage against Danks, though in his case that's no advantage. Kubel would not have the platoon advantage against Danks. He would have it against Jenks. Still i think Gardy stays with his 3 guys. Well, maybe not Casilla...?

Anybody wanna bet Gomez lays one down? Can the fat man field the ball?

306. JJ1986 Posted: September 30, 2008 at 09:57 PM (#2961961)

The game's going to end with Mauer on deck because teams insist on putting a shitty hitter in the 2 hole as long as he has "bat control."

307. Dan Posted: September 30, 2008 at 09:57 PM (#2961963)

Wow, nice catch to end it.

308. I can out-debate Joe Biden; Nieporent said so Posted: September 30, 2008 at 09:57 PM (#2961964)

Oh, there's going to be some SPECTACULAR car bonfires on the south side tonight. Watch out, Ryan.

309. Biff, Red Sox Jinx Posted: September 30, 2008 at 09:57 PM (#2961965)

Griffey does not make that catch, I'm pretty certain.

310. Srul Itza Posted: September 30, 2008 at 09:57 PM (#2961966)

A tip of the cap to Danks -- and Blackburn -- for a fine performance under pressure.

311. Harris Posted: September 30, 2008 at 09:57 PM (#2961968)

welp...happy for the sox....feel sad for the twins.

312. Gamingboy Posted: September 30, 2008 at 09:58 PM (#2961969)

Congratulations Tampa Bay Rays.... errr.. I mean Chicago White Sox.

Enjoy it for the glorious three games you will see.

313. Russ Posted: September 30, 2008 at 09:59 PM (#2961970)

Kenny Williams is the saber anti-Christ.

314. I can out-debate Joe Biden; Nieporent said so Posted: September 30, 2008 at 09:59 PM (#2961971)

LOL: from the apt. across the way. "#### you, MinnesoTAAAAH!"

(cue sound of bottle broken over head)

315. Greg Franklin Posted: September 30, 2008 at 10:00 PM (#2961972)

I actually think they might do well against Jenks.

...

That was quick. Now TBS will have an excuse to air Rays games in prime time when the Cubs wipe out.... the Chicago TV market will still be there.

316. aleskel Posted: September 30, 2008 at 10:00 PM (#2961973)

jeez, try taking a damn pitch, Minnesota

317. sunnyday2 Posted: September 30, 2008 at 10:00 PM (#2961974)

I am shocked Kubel led off rather than batting for Casilla, platoon or not.

If Gardy is the second best manager in the AL, it is a frickin' leper colony. The guy's brain just completely freezes in games that matter.

318. Ivan Grushenko of HK in Tokyo Posted: September 30, 2008 at 10:01 PM (#2961975)

Congrats Sox fans!

319. Eraser-X is dominating this site! Posted: September 30, 2008 at 10:02 PM (#2961978)

Billy Beane is the ~~pope~~ black Kenny Williams!

320. Srul Itza Posted: September 30, 2008 at 10:02 PM (#2961979)

Hell of a game. Great to see it won on a Thome home run.

When he gets to 600, are we going to have to put up with another spate of "He's still not a Hall of Famer" articles?

321. I can out-debate Joe Biden; Nieporent said so Posted: September 30, 2008 at 10:03 PM (#2961981)

Kenny Williams is the saber anti-Christ.

Thus making the Sox/Rays matchup all that more intriguing.

322. Boots Day Posted: September 30, 2008 at 10:04 PM (#2961983)

I think this game lasted exactly half as long as last year's game No. 163.

323. tfbg9 Posted: September 30, 2008 at 10:09 PM (#2961986)

Hey, big congrats to all the White Sox fans here on the board(see post #27, BTW).

Good year Twins, good year. Sorry for your dissapointment, Twins guys from here.

Two teams I kinda like, actually. Damn shame somebody had to come up short.

324. Russ Posted: September 30, 2008 at 11:17 PM (#2962032)

Two teams I kinda like, actually. Damn shame somebody had to come up short.

Lots of teams to like in the hunt this year... Rays, Twins, White Sox (for me, the Griffey thing is huge), Brew Crew. Angels are fine too... really, for the other teams, it's really just an annoying fan thing. I actually like a lot of players on the Cubs and BoSox... the fans can be a bit much, though.
