Jenks continues to be really fat.

Another near infield hit. Winning run at 3rd, 2 out.

Well isn't that fun.

I enjoy seeing the Sox implode. Yay Cleveland.

Cleveland seems to play the AL Central pretty tough.

Which is good, I think. Makes them a bit less pathetic. :)

A bit.

That must be why they’re only 2 games behind the Royals.

Juan Pierre

Please don’t let me have to listen to postseason nonsense from Joe Morgan about what a genius move adding a catalyst like Juan Pierre was.

He's a gamer

Gets his uniform dirty. I actually think it’s good to hear this stuff about Pierre. Usually it’s only white guys that get this cliched stuff.

Wow, Chris Perez' hairstyle in his Gameday picture is just beautiful.

Gross.

Nice double play there.

Just get out of this inning, Darryl #3.

by Luke in MN on Aug 30, 2010 10:32 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah, load the bases.

That’ll get ’em. :\

Well looky there.

If only KC could bring the pain on Texas in the bottom of the ninth

Think their AAA team could get there in time to save the day? It’s only a couple hours away in Omaha, right?

by Luke in MN on Aug 30, 2010 10:39 PM EDT reply actions  

Is this the guy that struck out with the bases loaded for Cleveland before?

With that dangerous .217 average?

Michael Brantley...

I’ve got him filed in my head as “dude who sucks for Cleveland,” but that’s all I got.

That doesn't really narrow it down.

I think Alexi Ramirez gets my award for

Because he looks like this?

Lol

Now I’ve insulted him and I feel like he’s looking at me.

Really, Cleveland?

Brent f&$#ing Lillibridge? He’s like 10 years old.

He's a goldmine.

“Yesterday when I played, inside my head I said ‘I want to go home quickly,’ and I swung and I was able to get a hit because I wanted to go home. Today I thought, ‘I want to hurry up and get something to eat,’ and I swung and got a hit today.”

Yeah, this game took a turn for the awful really quickly.

Stupid Cleveland.

On how he wants to become a pitcher at age 40: “Once I turn 40 I can become a pitcher. I’m kind of serious about it. But I’ll have to learn to throw a knuckleball. Right now, I could be a ‘normal’ pitcher,” who can top out at 95 mph with a fastball."

by Luke in MN on Aug 30, 2010 11:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

Haha, I wish he played for the Twins.

It would be so fun.

I'd sign him as a pitcher. After all, it's not all about winning:

“I want to be the kind of player who people feel it is worth paying the money to come out and watch. … When I meet players who are playing just to win, that angers me.”

by Luke in MN on Aug 30, 2010 11:11 PM EDT up reply actions  

And that, boys and girls, is why Joe Mauer is a terrible player.

Wanting to win? Eff that, give us a show!
