Bad loss but predictable after Game One of the series. Wish we would have played Game One like the seventh game of the world series. I mean the fourth game of the WS. Now we're really behind the 8 ball. If Thome plays first tomorrow you know the baseball gods are going to have him commit 3-4 errors and he'll be the reason we lose. I am not a defeatist and love the Sox but am a realist. We ain't going to win tomorrow night, folks. We're going 0-3 and have to hope for the revenge later at The Cell. It's called momentum. And no way can we regain it for tomorrow night. I predict our bats will be quiet on ESPN and we go quietly. --I fear the Tigers way more than the Twins. The Tigers are the team that is going to win our division if we don't.

I think BA still has potential but he does have some horrific at bats. I'd keep him out there over Wise. He's improved, you have to admit that.

You are right. There's no shock value anymore. He is the happiest man in Chicago today. He gets to write the column ripping Ozz for leaving in Jose too long. Type faster, Jay, we've written the column for you again. Oz has cost us this series and the sweep is here tomorrow. Weak stuff. Tomorrow when Thome makes a couple key errors at first he has his final column on Oz for the weekend.

Excellent. Why did they call to gloat? Did you rub it in when we won the WS? What a joke of a game. Jose s*** his pants today. He's the goat, not Ozzie.

I am probably a bad fan, but I'm turning it off and outta here. I sense what's about to happen the rest of this game and it ain't good. Time to suck it up Sox fans and hope we can pull one out tomorrow (not likely IMO). Sorry for the emotional responses to responses. This team is maddening. A 9-run inning beats us today?? Amazing.

What a party the Flubs are going to have in the seventh, when they sing with their 11-5 lead.

Leadoff double then nothing so far. My god.

God that pitch was hittable. His swing was ridiculous.

I don't know Brian. He seemed to be doing well before he started aiming the ball outside like he was scared to death. I'm saying the way he looks he wouldn't have had a quality start in Wrigley as you suggeted.

I wish big leaguers would think about the importance of Game One of a series. Why didn't we win 7 or 8-1 yesterday??? Stupid overpaid veterans who know better. That game should have been broken wide open against Lilly in the middle innings. f***.

Care to reconsider that? He's pitching like a scared pussy right now.

This is like taking a public flogging.

Quit nibbling, Masset. Go after the hitter. If he homers, you join today's homer club yu don't get executed.

Oh boy, three run homer here and I turn off the TV. It'd be too sick to imagine.

No offense, but tomorrow will be a Cub lovefest on there unless the miracle happens today. They have nothing to lose going for the sweep. Our only hope is to show maximum balls and somehow tie this game. Odds of that are probably 1,000-1 right now.

You can still hear the buzz in that stadium over the embarrassing inning. Must be horrid to be a Sox fan in Wrigley today, especially after we led early. Must feel like they got hit with a hammer in the head and now all the mocking.

Horrible at bats with this guy still in the game. Yes we deserve to lose again.

I agree with that. Sad thing is the importance of yesterday's game. If we win, it really takes the heat off today's game and we're playing with the house's money. Sad we couldn't hit when it counted yesterday.

No I do not blame Ozzie for not hooking him. Not in the fourth inning. I blame Jose for throwing meat up there. When I think the manager is a good manager I blame the players more than the manager. When I think the manager sucks like Bevington I tend to blame Bevington. I like Oz; I don't like what Jose did on the mound today. We could give up 15-20 runs today.

Only possible way we could have back in it was with a Dye bomb there. On to tomorrow.

Too bad we can't go first to third like the Flubs. Jose is to blame for that 4 inning disaster; not Ozzie BTW.

Good to show some pride at least in scoring a run. We're still getting our asses handed to us in a bad, all cause of Ozzie.

I wish I could be a blame the manager type guy. It's so easy.

Blame Ozzie for this one? Pathetic.

I did not want him to hit a 3-run homer. Why don't you blame Ozzie for this game. We're getting our asses kicked. Deal with it.
