2nd time Dye has gone down on the first pitch today.

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 01:25 PM) Having to use your closer in three consecutive games against the devil rays... sigh... Well, if we want to get him up to 50...

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 01:07 PM) Who do the Tigers play this weekend? The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, in Detroit. Unfortunately, they miss Weaver.

Well, I gotta give it up for Vazquez, didn't give us much, but gave us what we needed. 6 innings, 2 runs, hard to complain about that too much.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 12:59 PM) Just turned the radio on to hear "two run homer the opposite way!" Get the bullpen in now! They picked a horrible time for a station ID break.

It's all about the AJ.

Konerko is on an 8 game hitting streak coming into today

MUST get this game tied up here. No other choice.

This time...it wasn't Vazquez's fault.

God damnit Ross and Tad

Travis Lee is hitting .226. He is 1/1 with 2 walks today.

Lee has not been retired yet today

QUOTE(jasonxctf @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 12:42 PM) Brandon McCarthy please pick up a Red Courtesy Phone. He was ready in the 4th. He should be coming in RIGHT NOW.

Scott better get his arse to 2nd.

Take 3 scott...

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 12:35 PM) I'm thrilled with them winning 2 out of 3. Did anyone really expect De La Rosa to defeat Johan? Right now, we've got the wild card lead, so as long as we handle our business, I care less about the Twins than I do about the Tigers. We win today and we're officially in striking distance.

Well, at least this won't count as an earned run for Javy.

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 12:26 PM) Okay. He's great. Thanks for playing. Chris Young was hitting leadoff already for the D-Backs last night. Had a web gem in CF.

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 12:24 PM) Vazquez is a loser with 11 wins. I wonder where the Sox would be without Javy's 6 wins in the first 2 months. I wonder where most pitchers would be with the run support Vazquez has gotten (best in the league, IIRC)

Deep breaths...

QUOTE(Soxbadger @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 12:17 PM) Honestly from the reactions here it would appear the Sox have given up 10 runs, not 1. Every pitcher on the Sox has had trouble you cant just pull them all after the first run they give up. Based on everything else we've seen from Vazquez this year...

BMac is up

That's the first run Vazquez has given up in the 4th inning this season.

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 12:11 PM) I'm really glad the royals decided to give Jeff Keppinger his first career at bat against Johan Santana with a man on third and one out against in a 1 run game According to Gameday, Keppinger has had about 120 ML at bats before this game.
