Kudos to the twins for taking a 7-3 lead over the sox and if they win tie the sox record

 

That's about the only thing I can take solace in at this point; the image of Sox fans looking in horror as the Twins are within striking distance of the Wild Card lead.

I envy the entire Twins Org.! They keep on bringing up ballplayers from the minors and continue to play good smart baseball year after year!

I love the Sox struggling since I live on the south side...All my frineds are sox fans and everywhere I go I am always outnumbered and get heckled almost every day of my life.. So atleast when the sox are playing this poorly it shuts everyone up for a while

I respect the team, but I can't stand Sox fans. I remember watching them at Wrigley for the Sox Vs. Cubs games and what a bunch a freaking slobs! One guy wore a shirt that said "GO F%^K Yourselves Cubs Fans" With a big middle finger on the shirt. Just classess idiots...

[ToupeeOnFire]

Hawk is in complete dejection mode right now. High comedy.

[PrimeTime]

I definetley hate the fans more than the team...You can always pick out the sox fans too which is easy, just look for the guys who are really trashy,cocky,and who look like they dont know what a bar of soap is

You can always also spot the Sox fan because they are usually watching the Cubs game more then the Sox game, while spouting off hatred towards the Cubs and their fans..

Thats for sure..Theyll take whatever cheap shot they can.. Its like I know the Cubs suck right now you dont have to keep remindning me, pretty funny how they care about what the cubs do more than their own team

“I do homework every night,” said the beleaguered Baker, whose team improved to 36-56. “It just seems like this year, the numbers haven’t really made too much sense. Some guy’s hitting .500 off a guy, and he doesn’t hit anything. Another guy’s 0-for-8, and he’s hitting. Sometimes numbers work. Sometimes they don’t.”

 

If Dusty actually said that, he said the stupidest thing I've ever heard since the last time I was playing at a blackjack table.

At least Prior showed improvement today.

[Andy]

I could give a crap about the result. I'm just glad Prior had a good outing.

QFFT. If he can just get his breaking ball to break more consistently and get a little more power going, he's pretty much the real Prior again. It was nice seeing him strike out guys with a high fastball when he needed to.

Let me guess, hitting on 15 with the dealer sporting a six?

[coldsteel]

well... more like when someone hits their 15 versus dealer 6, but then everyone complains if the results hurt the table -- of course everyone smarter than dusty realizes that any such move is exactly neutral in the long run... same as splitting tens is exactly neutral -- same as whatever anyone else does with their own blackjack hand is exactly neutral to anyone's own result in the long run... but i am sure that dusty would yell at me if i split tens... IDIOT!!!

When we got to the ballpark yesterday and saw the Cubs' lineup I looked at my Mom and said "Game Over, the Cubs won't score a run in 9 innings today."

 

She agreed.
