Nice collage.
Pick to Click: GRIFFEY
I’ve never heard so much bitching about a guy in the line-up for one game! Comparing him to Geoff Blum makes me want to stab my eyes out so I’ll never be tempted to look at the internet again.
The Twins are not good, please stop posting their score.

bold move. my pick-to-click is Punto.
I bet Griffey impresses everyone in CF tonight……………….even, hopefully, me.

By keeping all of his limbs attached?

No,
by detaching/losing them all, simultaneously, in one singular fall.

Uribe whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you, never, ever, during your trials and testings. When you saw only one set of footprints, It was then that I carried you."
That's pretty much how I picture it.
And a fine way to start the game.

This is what it all comes down to.
Throw all the fuckin’ sabermetrics out the window. This is a psychological test for the Sox, plain and simple. They’ve got to pass the Minnesota test. I do think they appear to be handling the pre-game stuff better, and, although not admitting it is a psychological test, coming up just short of it is progress.
This is the game I really want most!
We win today against a struggling Baker and it really puts the pressure on the Twins
Dear White Sox Offense,
Feed us runs.

just be sure to cancel the account as soon as you are done with it
they automatically enroll you for the next set of games, ie they charge your account without you thinking about it.
I think they offer the playoff games as well, for a fee of course, so if you don’t want to pay mlb.com to watch those, cancel the account right after the reg. season ends.

that if Vazquez loses here after Ozzie’s challenge and fails on Sunday if the game matters, that /KW trades him away in the offseason? The Yankees bailed on him after just one year after similar choke performances.

1. That’s selling low.
2. Contreras is already out for 2009, so they’re down a veteran starter.
Could happen, but I’m not quite seeing it.

AJ made a similar baserunning play 2 weeks ago or so with Paulie up
a clear inning ending DP if he doesn’t run home and force a throw. Hawk and DJ were trashing the awful baserunning for 20 minutes.

SSH’s arrival or listening to Hawk & DJ stroke off the Twins.

The one spot that Jermaine Dye can't get to.
"The Sox have a better home record than the Twins, but...we're not at home right now." -DJ
HAHAHAHAHA.
And this ballgame is…OVA!
"The Sox have a better home record than the Twins, but...we're not at home right now." -DJ
Griffey, to himself:
“Why the fuck do they put me out here?”
...and then some depressed fucked-cake eating.
So this is the part where SSH it...
Appear from nowhere and post something like “Ozzie playing Griffey in CF in the dome is one his stupidest moves of the season”
For goodness sake, Anderson is at least as good a hitter as Griffey right now, so nothing is even gained at the plate.
This one's over
That was a pretty great bunt though
This is positively delightful.
I don’t even know whom to blame. These last two runs were on the defense, but then it was Javy who couldn’t figure out where to run on a bunt to the right side.
"The Sox have a better home record than the Twins, but...we're not at home right now." -DJ
I would say I hope Punto injures himself on one of these slides,
but I’m pretty sure his replacement would be better, whoever it is.

Actually, I blame
Swisher. If he hadn’t been such a steaming pile this year he’d be out there every day and Griffey would be on the bench where he belongs. Of course, steaming pile Swisher is still better on both sides of the ball than Griffey.
I disagree.
At the time of the trade everybody was talking about Junior replacing Konerko’s ABs, not Swisher’s. It’s only since the latter has deteriorated and the former has heated up that Swisher’s been riding the pine.
"The Sox have a better home record than the Twins, but...we're not at home right now." -DJ
That's not true
A lot people said that if the plan was to play KGJr in CF that it was a stupid move.

Yea - KWs sales pitch was insurance for Thome and PK
However – Oz appears to be in love with playing the HOF’r
What's the sound made when you miss the ball for another strikeout... SWISH!
I'm talking about offense.
Since that’s what Bull Pain was talking about. When Griffey came in, Konerko was still hovering around the Mendoza line and Swisher had been performing decently . Griffey’s ass belongs on the bench, sure, but at the time the consensus was that Griffey’s bat would be more productive against RHP’s than Konerko’s.

Do you mean:
how many singles has Griffey courteously turned into triples?
...and then some depressed fucked-cake eating.

These kind of leads are the last thing we need
I hate to be captain obvious but the Twins pen is worse then ours (well maybe not lately) but what the fuck does it matter when we give up these big leads
Walk him to get to the top of order.
Everyone get down on their knees tonight.........
and say a little (or maybe a medium sized) prayer for the Sox bullpen. Call in some chits.
This is what Ozzie was talking about.
More than the nibbling against Morneau, or the hanging changeup to Kubel, it’s the 8-pitch at bats by Carlos Fucking Gomez with his .250 OBP.

choke artist is a very delicate matter.
Why so serious?

Shocking.

Time for Mr. Positive.
1 – Javy is the least reliable of our starters, so we can still easily take two out of three with Buehrle and Floyd.
2 – Last time we were here we blew two four-run leads in two games, so I say we return the favor.

Baker is also the best of the Twins starters this series.
I wasn’t counting on this one. This series is on Buehrle’s shoulders more than anybody, based on favorable matchups.
Chip, chip, chip, chip.
Sox Machine
The way I see it
Even if Buehrle falters, Floyd apparently fancies himself The Stopper, so we can at least avert a sweep with him.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Not that it will matter - but how many runs before Javy is out
What's the sound made when you miss the ball for another strikeout... SWISH!
I'm thinking 7 - 2 run shot should do it
Anyone warming up?

Muted
I am so, so, so sick of hearing Hawk slobber all over the twins.
Why so serious?
Never have I been so happy
to hear the Twins’ announcers on Extra Innings.
And I can honestly say that three months ago I NEVER would have even thought that I would say that.

Oh, don't get me wrong.
Bert’s a tool. However:
a) He’s not Hawk.
b) He’s not DJ.
c) I really hated him until I found the Youtube clip of him dropping F-bombs on the air. That might be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.

I gave up on Hawk in Minnesota
When he praised the Twins’ infallibility right after Punto blew a big sac bunt attempt.
Chip, chip, chip, chip.

I LOVE CARLOS GOMEZ
AND I WANT THE WHOLE WORLD TO KNOW!!!!!!!!
I wish he was in my fantasy league. id bury that cocksucker- KenWo4Life
Wow - This is so painful

Don't worry 4 more innings

I want Minnesotan casualties.

Ok, Bert. You want to praise your team about how great they are at every little detail.
How about walking the leadoff hitter the inning after taking a 5-1 lead?
Silence.
Go Sox!
