I'm not surprised Silva won. He's had a couple good starts lately some bad blush.gif. Buerhle has been absolutely awful in July. I'm surprised we only got 7 off of him. grin.gif

It will be another fun series this weekend!

well I hate to rain on the parade folks but you know windy and commanche are gonna play the world series trump card.....

but I dont care sox got rocked at home!

Speaking of brooms, I cant wait to see Ozzies comments now, maybe we should send him an axe after he loses his job for running his mouth after his team got lit up.

We still have a long way to go yet, but its starting to get interesting and man has this team been fun to watch.

I've never seen a team go from being as bad as they were to this hot all within one season. It's unbelievable, both the bad stretch & the good stretch have been so long. The pitching & the 3-4-5 hitters are the difference.

Bringing up last years success will only go so far. Its a new year and the only world series that matters now is the next one, not the last one.

Yep, I think we should make it official, every time they bring up the world series, we bring up that we have won 2 since 1987, which is 1 more than them. Before that really doesnt count as many on this board were too young to care.

Hats off to Morneau, man where would we be without him? As much as I like Mauer, Morneau is the MVP of this team methinks.

Great series. That was a total domination.

The world champs looked like the Sox of old. No pitching, poor fielding, guys sluffing off and waiting around for a 3 run homer.

I've kinda got a feeling this team is on a mission. There has never been a stretch in Twins history that they have played this good. Great time in Twins Territory.

On the other side of this, I'll bet that by the end of tomorrow the Sox are making some kind of blockbuster trade. They aren't going to sit back while the surging Twins and surprising Tigers bury them in the standings.

"Watch the Twins make a move or two as well, maybe something with the Reds for Pitching????"

Now that got my attention there Buzz. The Reds don't have a #5 starter. What do you guys want for Liriano? He looks like he's got some potential. grin.gif

Seriously though, what do you have in mind? We are short at least one starter and don't have any relief pitching that you want, and I know you aren't having a fantasy that Harang or Arroyo are available are you?

And congrats on your W-Sox series! That was impressive.

Got this off a board on espn. Listen to this guy! I think its Windy.

Come on guys, we can't go around saying that the Twins have won this series. Clearly the umpiring has been so bad that any unbiased observer would agree that the Sox should have won this series.

The Twins have proven nothing except that they can win when given 33 outs instead of 27. The Sox are still the best pitching and hitting team in baseball!

Plus, who won the World Series last year? That's right, it was the Sox.

Let's do a little roster comparison here:

C Pierzynski = Mauer -- When Mauer stops getting so lucky with his hits it will even out. Pierzynski calls a better game too. Mauer's batting average is a FLUKE!

1B Konerko > Morneau -- Morneau is a FLUKE!

2B Iguchi > Castillo -- Castillo has no power and has lost a step or three. He's lucky to bat .250, and his current average is a FLUKE!

3B Crede > Punto -- He's got defense and can hit .300 with power. Punto is a FLUKE!!!!

SS Uribe > Bartlett -- His defense and power make him one of the elite SS in the game. Bartlett is a FLUKE!

LF Pods > Kubel -- great leadoff guy. Kubel is playing way over his head and is a FLUKE!

CF Anderson > Hunter -- Hunter is a walking GIDP. Anderson is hitting .333 in his last 30 games.

RF Dye >>> Cuddyer -- Dye plays the best defense of any RF plus he is on pace for 50 bombs. Cuddyer is a failed prospect playing over his head and is a FLUKE!

DH Thome >>>>> White -- White will soon regress to batting around .150, his current streak is a FLUKE!

Rotation

Buehrle = Santana -- Santana pads his statline with meaningless starts. Buehrle is CLUTCH!

Contreras > Liriano -- Contreras is a proven commodity. The league will soon catch up to liriano and prove he is a FLUKE!

Garcia > Radke -- Radke's early-season struggles are much more telling than his current FLUKY success.

Garland >>> Silva -- My grandma >>>> Silva.

Vazquez >>>> Baker -- Baker's good run last year was a FLUKE!!!

Bullpen:

Jenks > Nathan -- He's proven in a world series and can throw 100.

Macdougal > Rincon -- Hawk+DJ say Macdogal has the best movement of any picher on his fastball.

Cotts > Crain -- Crain sucks...his year last year was a FLUKE!

Thornton > Reyes -- Reyes sucks...his year is a FLUKE! Thornton can hit 100 on the radar gun.

Politte > Neshek -- Politte is clutch and will pitch through his rough patch. Neshek is a FLUKE!

Every single Sox player is superior to his Twins counterpart. The Twins are pretenders not contenders, and their success is a FLUKE!!!

Buehrle will shut the Twins down tomorrow! Stick a fork in Silva!

Go Sox!!!!

Thats a funny post, it goes to show you that Crystal Meth is kickin' in Chi town... not that the whole world didn't already know that.

Spinner, ESPN radio was talking about the Twins and Reds and the Twins wanting a pitcher... didn't get all the names.

Guess we'll have to wait and see. Reds are bringing up a pitcher from AAA to pitch on Saturday. Pitchers not regarded as quite ready for prime-time. Trust me, we only have extra hitters. No extra pitchers that AL hitters wouldn't destroy.

I read all the posts on ESPN about what this guy posted.

He made comments like Santana and Liriano only look good becuase they pad their stats against weak teams like KC. He also said Contreras (sp?) is a real CY young candidate more so then Liriano or Santana.

I believe he said that once a Sox pitcher gets a lead they take it easy and don't pad their stats by jumping on a team when their down.

I think the slump the Sox are in must have pushed this poor guy over the edge. I hope he gets some help to end his delusions. Its sad to see a guy like that, he's in a bad place right now.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
