Twins Tidbits

Interesting comments that the White Sox announcers made during the game vs. the Twins on Wednesday:

-“You’ve got to be kidding me. The Twins will be happy tonight with the umpire on their side the whole game.” (First batter of the game…4^th pitch of the game)

-“That’s one thing that MLB needs to change. They need to realize that this is a big series and they need to send the best umpires to make sure the game is called fairly.” (In the bottom of the 2^nd inning)

-“You’ve got to have some sort of a rating system, because this is absurd.” (Still ranting about the umpires in the top of the 3^rd)

-“I don’t care if we play them at Midway Airport, the Grand Canyon, or Grant Park, as long as we don’t have to play them in the Metrodome” (Top of the 4^th)

-“You know what’s amazing..is that we’re playing that bad and we’re going to leave here tonight with a 2 ½ game lead” (In the bottom of the 4^th with the Sox down 3-2)

-“I’ve seen the Twins go up to the plate with hairline cracks in their bats because they’re going for those cheap broken-bat singles” (Bottom of the 6^th)

-1: the number of half innings that the attempted Gomez pickoff WASN’T shown as some sort of “Freeze Play”, “Game changing play”, “Story of the Game”, “Game Summary” or any other excuse that Ken and D.J. could think of to explain why the Sox weren’t winning. (I think it had something to do with your 3-4-5 hitters going a combined 1-11 with no RBI, but I’m no professional announcer)

-Final Score: 3-2 Twins

-To put it in those infamous words…THEY GONE!!!

Put that on the board…
