Fair point. I thought maybe Thornton should finish the inning.

I thought Oz would leave in Thornton since Freddy is his relative.

Man, one swing and suddenly we could be losers.

OMG. Poor Oz cost Freddy a win. Bringing in Pena is not a good option at any time. Nice job, Pena. Way to cost Fred a win. Oz should slap himself upside the head.

0-2 finish him off!

Good good pitches, then that pitch??? WTF. Deep double.

I love Oz, but this is Oakland we're playing. Why not let Thornton finish the inning? Pena might implode.

I'll just say we agree to disagree on the Rios I've seen play this season. He's a standup hitter who can't hit. And his style reminds me of Anderson. I'm growing a mancrush on Thornton.

It'd be tough to bring him back if this is the new Jermaine.

Do you think we are a worse team than Oakland? Why the struggle?

You gotta admit Rios reminds you a lot of Anderson at the plate. Not a flame. He's a stand up hitter who can't hit. -- Pena. Please have your 3rd good game in a row!!!

Even Kotsay has pop up itis.

Hopefully Oz wants to get Fred the win and stay away from Linebrink/Dotel. -- Poor Jermaine has to be put out of his misery. Give him a month off. Send him home early.

Hereeeeeees Jermaine again.

Got to love Freddy. I wish we were only 3-4 back. Fred was a good pickup. Leave Matt in. Please no Octavio tonight.

We just don't get clutch hits when we need them much of this season. Man ... I hope next season is different. I can't believe Paulie didn't drive that slop to left for a single. Geezus.

Cmon Paulie. Get that base hit to center again.

Not moving runners again. I misse that at bat. I assume it was a pop up.

Pods is da man. Always.

I like Oz, but why turn this game over to Randy Williams?? Fred deserves the win and we ain't going to get a win with Randy.

Umps strike zones generally piss me off.

Oakland is schooling us again. This is getting close to embarrassing again with the stolen bases.

Uh oh the leadoff walk. Trouble brewing.

Folks, I got a bad feeling. We leave too many men on base. Cmon Freddy. You need to work 7 tonight. Rios may be a good fielder but I think he's hitting .140 as a Sox. That is laughably bad. You could hit .140. Or a pitcher could. Or Brian Anderson could.

How many times have we had two men on base with one out and not scored this season. Many.
