Pitching was great but damn sure seems like the Sox wanted to give that game away with all that disgustingly terrible base running. Let's just fake to 3rd and get an automatic out at first. Let's lead off with a double and still try and bunt him to 3rd. Ozzie's off the deep end with that crap.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 06:07 AM) I like Morel a lot, had him higher on prospect lists than others in the last few, and I think he's got a real shot at being the Sox 3B next year. That said, the guy has a torn labrum, and the Sox have a pretty big stack of 3B's right now, so keeping him home to get extra rest in the offseason is the right move. Not any more since Beckham's hand and Teahens defense both suck.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 12:59 PM) DET was one of the hottest teams in baseball in recent weeks. And... So let's not go all eeyore just yet. I'd be surprised if MIN took both the next two games. Twins best record in baseball since the AS break. Twins 2nd best record at home behind on the Yankees for the season. That being said, they better not sweep Detroit.

Hell yes now i can go back to work !

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 06:53 PM) of course, the moment i turn on the twins game mauer hits a double Same here.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 06:46 PM) bring in LINEY You can't be serious . He pitched 2 innings last night.

damn it.

Great pitch Edwin !

Turn the DP.

Whatever happened to going quietly in the 9th ?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 06:32 PM) And if people are wondering why they kept in Lilli its because if they used Manny theyd basically have no one who could play 2b/SS/3b if something crazy happened. Stop making sense . We wanted Manny.

My first post with AJ 's HR got an internal server error. This board can't handle 8 people posting at once ?

Get a run . No extra innings again please.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 31, 2010 -> 06:03 PM) We have given Cleveland two outs this inning. God f***ing damnit. And when Masterson seemed to be hitting the wall.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 30, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) Thornton will be back on Saturday. I just don't see JR adding additional salary for a Fuentes type with a big, bloated contract. It's definitely not going to be another LH with Sale and Thornton down there. (This was KW's argument for NOT blocking the Fuentes move to MIN). And with Linebrink actually pitching admirably tonight, there's an argument (albeit MINISCULE) against adding another RHRP. Thornton back by the weekend is good news but that still 4-5 days and games away., No Putz , Threets out for the year, a tired Santos, another extra inning game tonight leaving Pena, Harrell and Torres. Pena and Torres recently pitched like 3 -4 innings apiece. I'd feel much better with another pitcher.

Manny is money when he's going for the money but can his body still do it ? We really need a Minny mini-slump to get within 2 games fairly soon. Can't hover around 4 or more back for too much longer. It's a tough row to hoe right now with the pen in shambles.

I went to dinner with my daughter with the Sox up 6-3 and Buerhle still in. Came home to see it was 6-6 in the 10th. Shocked by Lilli's HR as he practically hit it one handed and wasn't a big swing. Then the bigger shock of Linebrink's 2 perfect innings. He might be moved ahead of Santos at this point. Bring on the Manny salary drive and pray for a surprise waiver pickup of a reliever.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 07:19 PM) Did anyone boo Swisher tonight? Would any of you boo him? I don't usually boo my TV.

Big game Freddie !

Also Teahen in the 8 games he's played since he's been back.

Sox got a lot of hot hitters all of a sudden Rios, Konerko, Alexei, Pierre, Beckham (though he's cooled off the last few days).

Scottie Pippen holding the Stanley Cup. You don't see that every day.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 06:41 PM) alex wincing in the dugout after that hard slide Mitre landed on top of him.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 06:37 PM) thats a lot of info in one line I aim to please .

Mitre wild pitch Rios safe at home ! 9-2 many gift runs today !
