Official Twins Road trip Game Thread.

[Scott M]

Wow. Gross. Sox get owned, Twins pull into tie, Guerrier gets us out of the 8th, and Nathan blows it by putting two on and Harris can't glove it at third on the bunt! Wow! You see it all if you watch long enough.

[Windy City Walleye Hunter]

Man oh Man I have seen enough to know I have seen too much!

We get shelled again, by the Bo Sox (although they have owned the entire Central this year) and the Twinks have the mighty Liriano going with the rock, Nathan, in the bullpen and then what happened on the way to a sure 2-1 victory...up jumps a defeat. Ahhhhh, the agony of defeat! Enjoying the roller coaster ride??? But don't despair, we were both picked to finish closer to the bottom of the division than the top by most of the so called experts. I think we have both shown that our teams are made of sterner stuff than the Kitties or Tribe.

I wouldnt put anything on harris

[UdeLakeTom]

Except 4 runners left in scoring position!

Get a little nervous there Windy??

[PierBridge]

Harris has to catch that throw yes it wasn't perfect but Harris has to catch it he's a major league ball player.

No excuse!

Man, was Nathan off last night! Looked to me like he was throwing a different pitch....usually his fastball doesn't move much. Last night it was diving down, or up and inside (to hit batter). The one to Harris at 3rd was a diver , low and away. The only way I can blame Harris is if I blame him for NOT grabbing it with his bare hand. That is the only way he had a chance to reach it in time. He couldn't get his glove across his body (low and away) quick enough......game over.

YUCK.

[SledNeck]

bad throw, more nathans fault than harris' fault. nathan blew the game.

[Quackaddict9]

what Sled said. Hope they can pull a win this afternoon!

[SledNeck]

Baker usually gives us a good chance to win

[PierBridge]

Nathan blew the game Harris's little league attempt at catching a ball that wasn't even in the dirt and hit his glove contributed greatly to the loss!

[SledNeck]

if harris caught it or not, we still would have lost.

[UdeLakeTom]

We won today!!!

[PierBridge]

Actually we probably would have won if he caught it but he didn't catch it and we lost so its a moot point.

We're not gonna win a lot of games when only scoring 2 runs. Don't put too much blame on the defense. Besides, the ChiSox are starting their long overdue late season slide.

[Gary Crichton]

Joe had the time to get the guy at third, as yes the throw was low and away. The location was not that important as it was a force play. However Harris had plenty of time to turn his glove over to the backhand instead of trying to catch it with the glove open. Also I think his positioning to recieve the ball was not the best, as again this was a force out.

Thats OK, since chicago is having a tough time also, and we are still in first with chicago tied with us and 2 games left on our world wind tour. I believe the sox have a long road trip coming up. This is where we shall shine.......

The

sox

should

start

dropping

G.C.

[Scott K]

Somebody needs to tell the Sox to drop they are leading 4-0 right now!

[PierBridge]

4-2 Go Tribe!

[PierBridge]

Sox just got out of a bases loaded jam in the 7th 4-2 still.

[PierBridge]

Darn it Tribe just missed tying it up in the 8th!

[Windy City]

First and third one out Tribe threatening....

Big Bad Bobby Jenks comes in and shuts them down with a double play. Pale Hose still up 4-2 going into the 9th.

Windy

Lets not kid ourselves as you know WindBag he ain't the dominant closer he once was yes he got two lucky DP's and won the game today but he is very hittable these days.

[Windy City]

SOX WIN

You can put it on the board.....YES!

This game is Oh-Va

White Sox in first place with the Twinks struggling to catch up!

Twinks, your serve, GO JAYS!

Windy

[Windy City]

As hittable as Nathan?

Or do we just let him throw the ball around! LOL

Windy

[UdeLakeTom]

Dotel must not have pitched today.

[PierBridge]

Windy are you comparing All Star stats like Nathans 1.11 ERA with 62 K's and only 13 walks to Jenk's 1.75 ERA and a measly 29 K's to 14 walks?

Certainly not the Bobby Jenks of old even you can see this!
