sox can has sweep
He was a catcher with the Orioles back in the day. Sorry looking (expletive). My brother had his card. He looked like this little kid who got left at a bus station by his parents. You know why? Because he had to catch Hoyt Wilhelms knuckle ball five (expletive) years.

In the 9th all 3 guys swung at the high heater and went down. As a pitcher though, I loved throwing that high fastball especially with a full count. A lot of guys would chase that and go down. To me, if he throws breaking balls on that 3-2 chances are 2 of the 3 if not all 3 are on base. I am always a believer in the high heat.
Vazquez really disappointed me today. I thought he was going to come out and have a good game. He pitched awful. Good news is Thornton was good out of the pen, hopefully he can continue that.
I am 28 years old for the record. Big series in Minnesota we need a split! Get it done boys.

I think there's some confusion about probability
Like a good team (playing .575 ball !) should always whack a pitcher like Miner. Always is incorrect.
Or, a guy with a .330 OBP versus a guy with a +5ERA should always get a hit….

This is why the Yankees want Washburn...
In perhaps his last start for the Mariners, Jarrod Washburn hurled a gem against the Blue Jays on Sunday by allowing just one run in eight innings.
Washburn walked two, struck out two, and allowed four hits. The outing can only help the Mariners as they try to negotiate with the Yankees on a potential deal. Washburn has allowed two earned runs or less in eight of his last nine outings, though his ERA still stands at a mediocre 4.50.
His last 11 starts have been pretty good but he isn’t a guy that Kenny should be looking at.

i just hate that whole concept of "earning" your paycheck.
you did that when you signed the contract. and everyone who whines about how much pro athletes make need to buy some perspective. Normal Person X gets to do what he’s best at for 40 years to make a living. Random Athlete Y hopes to get to the big leagues, probably fails to do so, but if indeed he does not, he lasts 5 years and makes a couple hundred thousand per.

Ramirez says he won't object to any trade from Red Sox...
Manny Ramirez reportedly told ESPNDeportes.com that he’s open to a trade if the Red Sox wish to move him.
He didn’t make it sound as though he’s requesting one. “I don’t want to be a problem and a distraction to the Red Sox in such a critical moment of the season,” he said. “I want to help the team, even if that means I have to go.” Ramirez also indicated that he didn’t have any specific teams to which the Red Sox couldn’t trade him. “I don’t have any preferences: I could choose a team that offers me the best conditions or one in the chase for the postseason. I don’t care where I play, I can even play in Iraq if need be. My job is to play baseball,” he said.Source: ESPN Deportes

Today's Game
It is hard to sweep a team in their home park. However, I would have felt better if we had lost 2-1, or 3-2. Vasquez has GOT to be better with the stuff he has if we are to win.
Unfortunately, Konerko has lost his ability to hit, especially in the clutch. I don’t think we can blame his slump on an injury. I think it is wise to sit Konerko for a week and let Wise play center alternating with Anderson, and put Swisher at first. At least we add some speed and defense to the existing line up.

There is no player in the history of baseball that I despise more than Jason Tyner.
Why so serious?

two out of three against
a team bang in form, that’s good non? I’m worried about Swi’thc’sher mind, I though he was getting into a groove but seems to have lost it again. I wish he could show a bit more consistency.
we lost today, but at least some pitchers got a rest.
I won’t be able to see the twins games, on far too late for me, butI’d take a split now if it were offered.

yeah you're pretty much right
check out the Sox record playing away from home. this is more than we might have expected imo. as far as Swish goes, his good luck has been almost non existent this year. like JD last year, really. i wouldn’t worry about it long term. it just sucks for him. he’s easy to root for and takes a great approach every at bat that it’s just too bad he can’t get some success working for him.
are you trying to use stats around here? what the fuck do you think this is? - MM

Swisher would have more success...
if he didn’t whiff at every curveball over the plate and high fastball when he gets to two strikes.

so you're telling me he would have more success if he had less failure?

Oh well, after the Tigers and Rangers
Pitching against the Twins will seem like a AAAA team.
