QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 09:14 PM) I'm shocked he hit a ground ball to 3rd baseman. I ope Soxtalk never warns against sarcasm.

5 triples the charm ?

Guess you have to leave Thornton in. Please do well Matt.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 08:56 PM) And he's making $14 million. I'm not saying that it's right but thats a big reason. Same reason he won't PH for Dunn but then trots out Lilli to play defense right after.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 08:49 PM) Quentin has been fine defensively this year in RF. There was absolutely no reason to pull him to put Rios in CF, who's been a disaster out there. It's a tough call. Who knows if DeAza would have been playing deeper or shallower , if he would have had the balls to dive for it knowing ,if caught the Sox win, and if missed it could cost the Sox the game.

Ozzie's deference to the veterans is just messing up everything.

So do we think DeAza might have had that bloop on the hit and run ? If so then Ozzie's defensive switch is to blame.

I was saying Gordon look at as many pitches as you can so maybe the pitcher uncorks a wild one. So what does he do just swing at everything.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 16, 2011 -> 07:35 PM) strike zone is getting weirder and weirder For sure. Strike called a ball then ball called a strike on 2 consecutive pitches.

What a game !

I saw the catcher setting up inside and already have seen DeAza likes those. Triple time !

Indian's are a pesky bunch.

Hell yes DeAzaaaaa

QUOTE (hi8is @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 10:44 PM) He sure has been drawing a lot of walks lately. Compared to last year... wow. That will happen when your thumb hurts and you'd rather not swing the bat.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 06:11 PM) What a great moment Liked hearing the det guys ripping on the jeter media coverage I think them going on about the Jeter coverage was misplaced. After all Jeter is a lifetime Yankee. Thome's is in his 2nd year with the Twins and the majority of his HR's are with other teams. Oh and it was the Twins announcers not the Tigers.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 06:07 PM) YESS!! 600!! And more importantly the 3 RBI increases the Twins lead to 9-5.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 15, 2011 -> 09:20 AM) can we keep the beard His last appearance pitching for the Sox he had shaved his beard off.

8 out of last 10 and Danks 5-1 with a 2.29 ERA in his last nine starts.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Aug 13, 2011 -> 07:24 AM) Ozzie shouldn't have to tell his pitchers to retaliate. The pitchers should have enough f***ing balls to protect their team mates without having to be told. The pitchers are between a rock and a hard place here. Knowing the Sox don't score any runs means 1 HBP can be the difference between a win and a lose. That being said, f*** that and win some friends in the dugout and reach out and plunk someone.

To those people who told me Stewart belonged nowhere near the starting rotation......

I'll go out on a limb and say Reinsdorf won't hire a pricy manager.

Bridge needs to play a lot more.

Lillibeast !!!

Flowers too

Think anyone will be brought up because of Dunn and AJ being out til Tuesday ?
