QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:36 PM) Burger King is also on my Most Hated commercial list with the Chicken Fries commercials. Helio and Joan Cusack now have company. Burger King's commercials have gotten progressively more annoying for the last year. They're just insanely so right now. QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:37 PM) when (and in what round) was zumaya drafted? I believe he was a 12th round pick. Close, 11th.

MacDougal in

No fist pump today eh Joel? Don't want us throwing back brooms at you?

QUOTE(PA32R @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:34 PM) That's a SERIOUSLY big if. PK's done it once this year already.

He better have been bunting for a hit.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:22 PM) We could always use Iguchi in this spot. Walker's been killing righties more than lefties, and Iguchi has been killed by lefties this year. If we're sending in the righty, i'd actually take Pablo. I think I'd take Pods as the best choice overall though. PABLOWNED!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:22 PM) Good job Brian! Do we let Pablo hit for Pods here, and then bring in Mackowiak? Only if you think the Squeeze will work. I think I have more confidence in Pods hitting it in the air or on the ground to the right side than Pablo.

Pods, just don't F&*#ing strike out.

Nicely, NICELY done BA. I just love it when we do the bunt right.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:16 PM) I'd take Freddy out unless we score another run. Luckily, we have Instant Offense® up with Uribe-BA-Pods. Interestingly, you're correct. Brian, get the F*&*#&*#&*(&$#(*&^%&(#^ bunt down. I think our 7-8-9-1 hitters have done more damage since the last game of the Yankee series than the heart of our order has.

QUOTE(sin city sox fan @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:16 PM) Thats 3 straight inning of 1-2-3 ball....don't be surprised if Freddy comes out to start the 8th inning as well He's retired 12 straight since the Casey double. But with 95 pitches, 7 innings, and a lead and a chance to win, I don't think Ozzie's dumb enough to push Freddy any more. I really don't. Especially with the heart of their order due.

Here comes pitch 95 for Freddy. And it's a good one.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 01:09 PM) MacDougal's up in the pen. Very interesting. I think it makes sense...probably most likely to need a reliever to pitch to Polonco, IRoid and Ordonez this inning. Granderson's due 2nd, he's the only lefty before Guillen, and even if Inge gets on, Ozzie might stick with Freddy for 1 more batter.

MacDougal up

Well, you remember that "best clutch hitter on the Sox" Poll? Here he is.

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 12:58 PM) ya...Freddyy will come back out for the 7th, guarentee it With Inge starting off, that's ok...I just hope the leash is short. Damn, couldn't get him over. Come on AJ, slap it to LF and get PK to 2nd.

Here comes pitch 112 from Miner, that will equal his season/MLB career high.

That's what we pay him for. Now get him over and get him in boys. We need that insurance run, badly.

Miner has really found a groove. Thankfully Absolut did the work earlier.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 12:52 PM) Excellent, Freddy stayed away to dead pull Casey (right now he's dead pull) and we got him to try and pull it and it resulted in a weak pop up to CF. By far the best inning of the game by Freddy and my guess is we'll see him out in the 7th, but he'll be on a short hook. He's well under 100 pitches right now. Ok, now I want the bullpen to face IRod, whenever he comes up. 1-2-3 in the 7th and Rodriguez leads off the 8th, anyone gets on in the 7th and the bullpen should come in, especially if Inge gets on.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 12:50 PM) Not sure, but with his health issues, I wouldn't want him pitching back-to-back days after throwing in 2 innings the day before. I think you know what your'e saying but it didn't come out clearly...don't forget that he had the Contreras-off-day in there.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 12:50 PM) so did freddy decide to be good all of a sudden? Don't Jinx him.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 12:48 PM) MacDougal won't pitch today. Riske and McCarthy should both be ready to go.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 12:47 PM) Why, Inge has helped Freddy twice. Simple...Inge gets up = there's a baserunner. Maybe if there's 2 out I could put up with him facing him. Cotts better face Granderson whatever inning he comes up.

If this inning gets to Inge, I hope the bullpen faces him.
