nice

too bad PK redifines the term station to station.

by madvillian on Apr 7, 2008 5:27 PM CDT   0 recs

WOW, some nice hitting

Hooray for Jermaine, this doesn't stop my wanting to see you in left-field but continue your hitting and I will be happy.

Q!

"Aw, how could he lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico."

single right to delmon

vince coleman probably wouldn't have scored on that.

I said triple or HR

It's OK

Crede will get the robust IF hit

I took the "under".

by winningugly on Apr 7, 2008 5:32 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

IF = Incredible Fortitude!

Say what you will - I believe Crede is leading the effin' MAJORS in RBI's with 10.

What a pisser - my wife calls me to dinner and I miss the granny by a few pitches. Women.

I took the "under".

Q

stop hitting the ball so hard, you didn't allow PK to score, you freaking bum.

by madvillian on Apr 7, 2008 5:32 PM CDT   0 recs

surely PK would score from 2nd on an owens single.

joe clutch

let's trade him now while he's hot

by onlysoxfaninboston on Apr 7, 2008 5:35 PM CDT   0 recs

seriously

Joe just raised his trade value to a high B prospect. In addition to blowing the lid off his year long WPA.

WAY TO GO JOE! Prove me wrong about you being washed up damnit!

Our boy Joe comes through again

Boy he has won many games for us. Konerko though is still a poor baserunner, poor being different than slow.

It's not just this game though

It didn't really work last season, but prior to the terrible '07 team, new thread mojo worked most of the time.

Worm burner, WHAT?

That swing looked true.

Whoo I could just feel that

tapped into my psychoflexative powers. How the hell about that huh?

Joe has some bad looking swings

for pop-ups but when he concentrates he is a different hitter. Late-inning Joe, as Hawk says.

by floridajim on Apr 7, 2008 5:37 PM CDT   0 recs

smallish sample sizes in some cases but

1-3: .716 OPS
4-6: .736 OPS
7-9: .793 OPS
extras: .863 OPS

"Aw, how could he lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico."

by larry on Apr 7, 2008 5:43 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

so there's a little something to it?

ha, oh Joe you enigma

dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.

by colintj on Apr 7, 2008 5:44 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

there's a lotta something to it

though i believe he's best in the third inning (outside of extras, which is the small sample size alert - but fits the trend)

"Aw, how could he lose the ball in the sun, he's from Mexico."

by larry on Apr 7, 2008 5:45 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

That's actually pretty unusual.

Most hitters do worse in the late innings (from having to face the other team's best relievers).

by The Jerry Royster Experience on Apr 7, 2008 5:45 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

all the more reason to call him clutch crede

if you define clutch as being better than your particular norm.

Yeah for as much trouble as he is in...

Linebrink really hasn't pitched poorly this inning

by CatBrains on Apr 7, 2008 5:46 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

More Twins ball

A walk, a looper and one off the pitcher= 1 run.

by floridajim on Apr 7, 2008 5:46 PM CDT   0 recs

I think they'd prefer a slam if they could
