The Twins are in deep doo-doo. I thought Santana would win today.

The Twins have the A's right where they want them, up in a series. Oakland cant hold leads.

That breaking pitch is nasty though, it's almost unfair and he had it working today. When that guy has the breaking pitch going like he did today then he is damn near impossible to hit unless you are the Texas Rangers.

Chris Carpenter had a disgusting breaking ball K with a fullcount and 2 men on base. Just absolute filthy stuff.

Liriano pitched against the Astros earlier this year and threw a 99mph fastball...followed by a 97mph breaking ball...and then a 71mph change-up.
His mechanics and delivery never changed one bit. Now that is just unfair.

I watched the entire game and tried to predict what pitch was coming...no way.
He looks exactly the same of every pitch. You think the heat is coming and a big *** beachball flops up there.
Mark Grace was on Dan Patrick the next day and said "that kid is just un-hittable"
Rarely do you see a pitcher that can diguise every single pitch. This kid is doing that...and he is like what....13? or something. Many years of heartache in that division bro.

unless he's immune to filthy lucre as dealt by the devil on braodway, he'll be in pinstripes ere long.

The Yankees will wait until he is in the twilight of his career before they pick him up. They always do...

I am struggling severely with watching the Yankees play baseball, especially in New York.

I can't take it anymore.

I'm changing over to the Tulsa vs. Southern Mississippi game.

Hmmm, what could possibly make an aging man healthy and strong again, just like the days of his youth. Could he have possibly found the fountain of youth.

Zito has one hell of a curveball. That thing has a big drop.

I think the break looks larger on TV since he throws from the left side.

Personally I like Roy Halladay's curve, and as much as I despise him, Kerry Wood's hard curve is(was) filthy.
