Somebody needs to charge the mound. We can't let Chen throw at our batters all nite.

Rios could become a hero here if he puts one over the fence.

Where's Hawk Harrelson on that list?

I wish all of our first innings could be like that one.

At least we didn't lose any ground to the Tigers tonight. If we keep winning 5 out of every 6, we'll still win this division going away.

It feels good watching a Saluki get the job done for the Sox. Don't think we've had an SIU alum in the bigs since Al Levine had a cup of tea on the southside.

Dunn is gonna lead off the 11th with a long ball.

2 out rally time!

Whats everyone think? Do we win this game in the 10th, 11th, 12th, or later?

Yesssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ozzie doing a masterful job with the pen again tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 08:32 PM) Something that is not good is that Quentin is out of the game. Seemed pretty early to make that move. Do we know he wasn't hurt by the HBP? (I'm hoping not....but that didn't happen right before he was taken out)

Jessie Crain getting the job done!!!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 08:22 PM) Because the chances of Dunn striking out are tremendous. I think they would have walked Dunn if Rios had put runners on second and third.

I know Rios has been swinging a hot bat lately, but I really wish he was bunting there. As good as our bullpen has been, we only need one run.

I love watching this team play!!

Brilliant decisions by Ozzie that inning. The more you watch this team....the more you get the feeling it is a team of destiny.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 07:57 PM) now THAT would shut down Soxtalk After so many people wrote this team off for dead, the leader of the resurrection has to be commended for the job.

Stolen base here would be nice

This team is playing some inspired baseball now. Once we come back and win this division, Ozzie has to be a candidate for MOY.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 09:34 AM) Which means the only way Mark is back is if someone else gets traded. How sad. Or if we win the World Series and season ticket sales soar.

Thats likely the end of Alex Rios hitting streak (unless we have to win in extra innings). Guess he'll just have to start crushing the ball again tomorrow.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 08:06 PM) If Soxtalk posters ran the bullpen, Thornton, Sale, and Santos would all be on the DL. It's not safe to run them each out there 120+ games each season?

Great move by Ozzie to bring in Ohman there! It's destiny we are headed to the playoffs! I can't believe that this thread only has 8 pages to it though when we are playing the best ball of anyone in the league at this time.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 9, 2011 -> 07:47 PM) and somehow he gets 2 quick outs. Coop fixed him between innings

Rios doesn't have a hit yet today. His at bat this inning will likely be 1 of only 2 chances to keep his hitting streak alive.
