QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 11:49 AM) I just got home from school.. can anyone recap the game thus far? 2 run home runs by Thome & Crede, Thome's early, Crede's in the 6th, 6 decent innings for Garcia, 3 runs, 2 of them on a home run by Monroe, McCarthy coming in.

QUOTE(RegionSox @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 11:48 AM) I'm not saying he's the greatest thing since the invention of the wheel, but who else do we really have at the moment? Isn't this also his role now in the bullpen, taking over Hermanson's spot. Have you seen his changeup?

QUOTE(POPPY_HIDALGO @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 11:47 AM) He's not ready to be stuck out there in a spot like this. This game is a MUST for the sox today. The kid is the wrong way to go. I'll take Brandon over anyone else in our bullpen today if he's ready to go.

QUOTE(POPPY_HIDALGO @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 11:46 AM) Bmac coming out is the WORST thing that can happen. The kids got nothing in his tank yet. Except for those other hitters he was absolutely destroying last week.

Opinion: Freddy should come out for the 7th, but backup should be ready for him. 98 pitches for Bonderman through Podsednik.

I wouldn't mind a walk to Shelton here.

Ivan Rodriguez and Dmitri Young have stolen bases on Freddy today. Hey Fred, why don't you check the runner every now & then?

QUOTE(Allsox @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 11:34 AM) Forget giving Singleton a chance cuz he plains sucks. Thanks to his awful call, I had no idea Crede hit the ball, let alone a line drive, let alone it had a chance to go, let alone it did go out. Hopefully with some time his PBP won't be this bad. He just needs to get more fluid, stop pausing/repeating himself, and that's somethign that will come with practice.

Make him pitch to you Mack.

There you go Freddy, you've got a lead, hold em for 2 innings for us.

"Swing and a line drive into left center field, and that gets (pause) OVER THE FENCE!" -Singleton.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 11:29 AM) AJ's disgusted with that pop-up. Did we get the classic "Bat slam"?

Dye K's.

QUOTE(GoSox05 @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 11:26 AM) paulie is stealing second. watch Don't worry folks, we've called the authorities...he will be well taken care of.

The Dreaded Leadoff Walk.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 11:22 AM) Through 5 IP freddy has 78 pitches. Gameday says 76. Meuh. Hopefully we'll get 7 innings out of Garcia today. That'd be nice.

76 pitches for Garcia through 5.

Woo-hoo, 2 men on for Thome. 3 run lead here we come.

Ok, 50-50 odds here, strikeout or double play for Pods?

Stop studdering Singleton! ARGH!

QUOTE(CWSOX45 @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 11:06 AM) Now here's the question, do we get a hit this inning with the trio of Mackowiak, Cintron and Pods? :banghead CWSOX45 That's not the question. The question is; will Bonderman need more than 8 pitches to retire the side?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 10, 2006 -> 11:06 AM) Bonderman was on the same pitch count pace. Before that last inning.

26 pitch inning for Garcia, 66 pitches for Freddy through 4. Looks like we'll be needing some middle relief today.

25 pitches thus far this inning for Garcia

Carlos Guillen draws a walk. Monroe up again.
