PrintOakland Athletics at Minnesota Twins, Aug 19, 2008 8:10 PM EDT
Injury report, from LEN3: Delmon Young is limping around injured. And Adam Everett is pretty much emergency-only, leaving the Twins with two guys on the bench: Mike Redmond and Mike Lamb. Feel the speed!

Lets go Twins!
Slowey’s WHIP of 1.08 is very impressive. Only Roy Halladay and Justin Duchscherer have a lower WHIP, with Cliff Lee matching Slowey’s 1.08. Hopefully Slowey can continue that trend tonight. Go Twins!
Walk king
This guys given up 23 walks in 29.1 innings. Wait make that 24. Let’s hope we can be patient against this guy.
Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?
Cust
I love the guy, but boy is he not a good right fielder. Watching the game, I think a lot of right fielders could have gotten an out on Harris’s hit, and held Span to a single.
Great
I step away from my cpu for a minute and the Twins go up. I think I should walk away.

Bullpen
If Slowey didn’t have a penchant for the long ball I would think with his good WHIP and K rate that maybe he should be pitching the 8th inning.
White Sox Update
Seattle 12
Chicago 4
Through six innings. All four runs for the White Sox have come off dingers (Griffey has three of them.)

she doesn't look chesty enough
to be a waitress at Hooters.
Sadly, people will sue over anything.
If I were a patron of that Hooters I might sue them for false advertising by showing girls with big racks and then hiring her.

10-2 now
I figure if we get it up to 15, the bullpen should be able to hold it.
Lol. Sad, but very true.

Casilla
is 2-3 with two singles and a strikeout thus far tonight with Beloit. Should return to Minnesota tomorrow and then head on the roadtrip.

10 K's and 6 IP
Very impressive. He is at just 92 pitches, they better let him crack the 100 pitch mark and go seven.

Heck no. Let him go eight.
Any inning spent with the ball OUT of the bullpens’ hands is a very good thing.

its the bottom feeders day!
Those bottom feeders are reeking havoc. Morneau is also becoming red hot too!
Ruiz
Ruiz is having a good day
heck, everyone is having a good day

Kubel has got to be the most freaking unlucky hiiter in the world
Seriously. The guy pounds one to wall earlier, then hits that line drive with the bases loaded.

Bush man
Buscher with 5 RBI!

Bring on the Bass
And if he can’t hold this lead for at least 2 innings I say Gardy walks out there and let’s him know he’s been DFA’d on the loudspeaker.
Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?
and Slowey has a masterful performance tonight
exactly what the bullpen ordered:
7 IP, 5 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 12 K
MASTERFUL performance!!!!!!!
Once again for Bass
Let him go out there and finish so we don’t waste any of the real bullpen
Peyton's good but have you ever heard of Jeff George?
fantastic
fantastic job for Slowey

Casilla update
3 for 4 all singles for Beloit. It may not have looked like it tonight but dang do we need that guy back at 2B and the 2 slot.

Because our offense looked so good.

Bass is on to cough up the lead....
if he does or even gives up 5 runs I hope to see him on that plane, not to Anaheim, but back home where he belongs.
I just think that the As wont score any runs
here because they are so flustered and are swinging at bad pitches
and immediately he gets Bowen to bounce back to him
no runs (surprising!) one hit and two left on board.
Get Mauer out of there too
Maybe he can play tomorrow. I sure hope so cuz I’m gonna be there.

Kubs grounds into a DP!
Ruiz is up – I think Ruiz, Harris, and Gomez get honorable mention in the three star nominations
and Bass comes out and preserves the bullpen
he is in to shut down the As or let them get a few runs
and 3 quick outs.
and the Twins remain 1 game back of the ChiSox as the Sox win 5-0 over Seattle
I really thought that Seattle might have a shot tonight with King Felix throwing and Richard throwing for the Sox. However, it is not to be.
Ummm
Umm, what a game! THat was a malt cupper if I’ve ever seen one before…
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all."

~ Billy Beane
Man...
What a great game by Slowey. For a guy who doesn’t overpower hitters, striking out 12 batters is pretty amazing.
Also, the Dick and Bert drinking game is on hiatus, after we added the stipulation of taking a shot everytime Bert says “good” when the correct grammatical usage is “well.” That was 8 shots last night including pregame. Work today is not fun at all.
