Mags KC but going into bottom of 9th, 6-1 us

and that was Frank's RBI 90 for the season -

Frank 18 home runs since all star break - diminsihed skills my ass - Frank rbi sac, 6-1 Sox

so true from the font of all wisdom

Robbie doubles 4-1 us runners at 2nd and 3rd

Rowand scores on errant pick off throw 3-1 us

Robbie career 381 (!!!) with bases loaded and 6 slams

BD walks bases loaded 1 out 2-1 top of 9th

BD has only hit into two dps all year 2nd in AL in pinch hits

crede hbp 2 on 1 out top of 9th 2-1 us BD coming in to PH

Being negative never solves anything and in fact makes it worse, for one's own self and for everyone else. It is not as if any of this were in our control. Can't even let the game of baseball get to you, be it a game, a part of a game, a series, whatever, a season, a lifetime of fandom. Don;t let it rip you up and make you negative. It is at a bottom a sport, and enetrtainment. As Bart Giamatti famously said, baseball is designed to break your heart. 29 teams will be "losers" this year. Given the odds of being the winner,best to cheer for one's team and never letr it wreck your day, your mood, your life. This said by a guy who travels 450-500 miles almost every home weekend to see the Sox - this game is to enhance our lives, not wreck our emotions in a seriosu way.

he did!

oh? never give up the game is played over 9 innings, not 6 or 7

Bulls***. That is an opinion, not logic. 1 game out with a month to play is one game out with a month to play which means the team is very much alive.

how can a team be finished 1 game out with a month to play?

CLee robs Dmitri Young of a hit - Tiger announcers impressed CLee got it becaise they claim, for some reason, Carlos is not known for his defense

Klassen would be the "he" in "he gawn" for people who actually read the thread to follow the game - KC

2.15 2nd best era for day games belongs to ELo

Tiger TV showing nice clips of Loaiza being introduced at the all star game and singing ELo's praises while raising the question of how they have handed him 33% of his losses. They are mystified too - but lots of nice stuff being said about "Cy Young leader Loaiza."

Even though he struck out Kingsale at Toledo, the Togers have decided not to activate Phil the golfer so we will not see him today. Just another sport in which he can't hit the majors/win a major.

frank

whitesox247 and I co-wrote this and I felt like pulling it up (with a few changes) in honor of Frank's being on 2nd in the home run race with his blast last night that enabled the victory. Two tailgaters go round the outside, Round the outside, round the outside Guess whos back, back again Hurt is back Tell a friend Guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back guess who's back, guess who's back, guess who's back! He created a monster, cuz nobody wants To see Frank no more They want Hurt on chopped liver Well if you want Hurt, then this is what he'll give ya.... 50 home runs and an MVP sticker Some concourse shots that'll jump start your heart quicker than a shock when you get rocked at U.S. Cellular by the rest of the Sox who will co-operatin' When Frank's jockin' the Cell and the Sox operatin' (hey!!) You waited this long, now stop debatin' Cause Frank's back, Twins and KC now start fadin' I know that you got a job Mariotti but our 2003 Sox will be complicating So the Cubune Corp. won't let Frank be or let Frank be he, so let me see They try to shut us down in the MLB But Frank will lead us, in our victories.

yo apu, zach, 247 - thank you!

might I say I preferred the original scoring -
