Our guys are really going to be swinging for the fences now.

Bean him, lets have a brawl

Smallball. What a concept

Get out of this with 1 run, and score 4 in the 4th.

Do you know how to tell if a woman is ticklish?

The offense has to quit f***ing around now. Frank and Magglio must step up NOW.

The Tigers are going for a record

The Sox look like they're just playing out the string right now

But Graffy would have hit a 3 run HR

Alomar can still turn a DP with the best of them

That's a good point. He can't hit righthanded so why not give it a shot lefthanded?

Let Robbie play short and put Miles at second.

Has this team set the record for pop outs in a season yet?

I can't believe Jose is in the line up. JM's parting gift to Sox fans is another year of Jose for $5 million

They must take advantage of this.

DP boy is up

you can cancel the post game show

If Berman was doing the game for ESPN, how many Bert Be home Blyleven references would he make?

I still can't get over JM's quote that this is not a do or die series.

Ball 4 looked a lot closer to the strike zone than the one called on Lee, which got JM chirping

It wasn't pretty but Crede got the job done.

We'd be better off without him.

Frank must think this is the 2000 playoffs.

The problems are IMO : 1. Frank is going nowhere. He will take the $6 million option. 2. Magglio goes up $5 million to $14 million 3. Lee is arbitration eligible, he will cost an extra $2-3 million 4. Valentin has a good chance to vest his option. 5. Buerhle is eligible for arbitration. 6. Konerko makes $6 million and will be hard to move, unless you take the same money back. 7. Koch is in the same boat as Konerko. Just those 7 will make a combined $45 million. The Sox have to bench Valentin now. They can't let him get his plate appearances. Although I think going after the Japanese SS would be a bold move, and could really payoff in more ways than one, its probably 1000 to 1 the Sox try to sign him. I'm afraid Magglio is going to be the one to go.

I'm starting to pine for the days of Boomer Bevington. At least he was an entertaining idiot.
