Can you imagine if two good teams were playing with the wind blowing out like this? It'd be one of those 22-17 games like the ol Big Red Machine put up. Has Lilly learned how to hit?

Randy should be released if he can't come in a game where we're winning by all these runs. I hate him as well, but this is not currently a "close game" where you need to bring in your guns.

And Nix deserves the blame, not Oz. If Nix makes the play, Pena stays in.

Should be a 10-7 or 10-8 final. Liney will come in and give up a few.

Paulie should get more credit for his ability to dig at first. He's a f***ing god at the plate and in the field.

Randy Williams and Scott Linebrink may be the two worst players in all of baseball.

If that was called a hit, that's a disgrace. That was a big fat E.

Sox third basemen are like an average Little League team on defense. So bad.

I agree. Nice bomb, CQ.

Are you saying Thornton is only going to pitch against lefties? Some people want him to close. Uh he'll face a lot of righties as a closer.

Great job by Peavy pitching around the meaningless 2 out double.

AJ is the man. 87 pitches? Of course Peavy continues. No brainer.

You know damn well Oz would have been crucified for not pitching around AJ.

Correct call letting Peavy hit here. No f***ing way you pinch hit. Let him strike out if he must but it's too early to pull him.

The immortal Lou Piniella pitches to AJ and he whacks it off the wall. Oz would have been crucified for the same decision. Beautiful hit AJ. Way to make 'em pay.

Paulie looked absolutely silly on that pitch in the dirt. Then he comes back and PULLS a shot to left. Stud.

Paul Konerko is one hell of a hitter. What a f***ing stud.

If the favored son tweeted that he isn't going to tweet any more about the Sox, that means dad and JR laid down some kind of law. Now whether Oz and KW can meet without punching each other is anybody's guess. I still say this is all about former big leaguers' egos. Oz was a much better player than KW and think he's knows more baseball than KW and they don't get along. Period.

Exactly. Many of you just f***ing ignore him when he gets the job done in victories and that pisses me off. Why no credit? Bobby rocks! Just like Oz getting fired I hope we trade Bobby so many of you get your wish. It'll be fun to see somebody else get ripped after blowing tie games. Oh wait, it'll be Oz getting the blame for using the wrong closer. I don't understand the cliche where fans get sick of guys who have been around a long time. Bobby is still an effective closer whether you believe it or not.

I wouldn't be too many Kenny Hates Prospects. AJ will be happy if he goes to a contender probably.

Notice Jim Leyland's kid got picked in the eighth round like KW's did, also. Seems like Round Eight is the wink, wink nepotism round. Ozzie's kid got screwed. Can't blame Oz for being pissed. The rich take care of each other normally. It's obvious the two hate each other. Two former ballplayers; Oz was much better than KW as a player and I'm sure he lets him know that on a regular basis.

You are right. They wouldn't have won it, but no sense to kick a dead man. Rest in peace. Good thing his relatives knew the error of the ol man's ways. He was a dumb cheap man I guess, but I hope he's happy upstairs.

I tip my cap to Omar who I normally criticize and hate. I again applaud Bobby, but all his naysayers are quiet again. How bout you people who constantly dog on Bobby give him some love. My god ... he's Bobby f***ing Jenks. I again credit Omar, who I have despised, and applaud Beckham, who I haven't buried and applaud Danks for a great game! But where's the Bobby love?? He's still amazing.

That sounds an awful lot like the Cubs' annual cry, "Wait til next year!" It's all a fluke til the end of April when we are 8 games back again.

Great post. If he's 24 ... my god how long do you have to wait for him in the big leagues? You want him to be a 26 year old rookie? Baseball coddles these guys too much. Let him sink or swim.
