QUOTE(G&T @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 05:07 PM) BA should bat and Mack should PH for Pods. Is Thome even available? Yea I agree...Pods hasn't met is strikeout quota yet.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 05:07 PM) Tampa had good ABs this inning. We had home run swing 3 innings in a row. And it started with a good at bat from Delmon Young, most likely the greatest player who has ever walked planet earth.

McCarthy needs to figure it out....he went after those last two hitters and struck them out...he farted around with the other guys and it cost him. AJ needs to tell him to just go after them. Tough loss and I dont have any faith our offense will score 2 to get it tied. 4.5 out, .5 ahead of the Twins....barring unforseen insanity

Unbelievable. had a shot at 3.5, but appear headed for a loss to this horrificly bad team...a team that has one of the worst pens in baseball, a pen that has shut us down to 1 hit over 3.1 innings w/ 4 Ks....Pathetic. Thornton can't keep the ball in the yard and McCarthy implodes in the worst way.

Oh helll....for a greater degree of fun Ozzie should bring in Cotts...lets burn this mother down

I guess Brandon has been inspired by the spirit of Rick Vaughn.

I like the move, but Cantu continue to suck forever? whoops...i just saw who they are going after...Ugggh

Not good...man on third, 1 out

Damn...can we get this guy out in this series? What was he hitting at AAA? .920

McCarthy in for potentially 3-4 innings here. I think Ozzie is going to use Brandon to save the pen....he is thinking we should be able to get a run in the next 3 or 4 innings. Go get em Brandon and watch this first hitter...

Welp...gotta play extras...We didn't need to tax our pen, but today may well do it.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 04:50 PM) but sometimes you have to suffer when you go against the grain You guys are too damn funny...

Lugo is at about 5K/9IP, so he isn't the 2nd coming of Rivera here.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 04:43 PM) Ok, Pierzynski leads off the 9th...advances to first on a strikeout with a ball in the dirt, Pablo pinch runs, steals 2nd, and Crede doubles him in off the left field wall. Who's with me? Our base runner could be levitated by the Tooth Fairy avoiding a tag at home plate for the winning run for all I care....So yea, I guess I am with you.

MacDougal has been oustanding today...lets get him a W now. He just mowed through 5 batters with ease. I think his pitch count is such that he could go out for the 10th. Although I expect to see someone else (McCarthy?)

QUOTE(beautox @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 04:35 PM) seriously when did camp get so nasty? Yea I'd like to know that as well. bring in Meadows.

Konerko and Podsednik must have a side-bet going on we don't know about.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 04:32 PM) Here comes the home run cuts. Based on Gameday Gooch almost went yard. Was it that close?

Maybe MacDougal should have started the 8th? Not getting on Ozzie...hindsight is 20/20....lets get em this inning...3.5 out of first place is right there for the taking.

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 04:25 PM) Having to use your closer in three consecutive games against the devil rays... sigh... I hope we get the chance....

The lesson there is you can't get behind in the count....get ahead of hitters and they become much less productive. Not good.

Well crap

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Aug 31, 2006 -> 04:02 PM) Ordonez on third...two outs Hes not important...the next guy is....

Come on Rivera...nail it.
