True, it might be a double sweep for the Flubs. I'm impressed they dusted 2 of 3 from the Jays when the Jays kicked our ass. Even though Paulie has sucked, the absence of his bat weakens us more.

We've lost five of six now, playing s***ty baseball again. I say it's Griffey time. Can he play first base?

This would be a nice time to get Fields' bat in the lineup, but that can't happen because Thome is a big blob and can't play first. Any scenario in which Fields could be called up? I have a feeling we've seen the last of Paulie for a while.

So true, Joe, so true. But amazingly we are 4 games in first place. Is Oz the coach of the century???? What you say is true. But we are in first.

It might be wise to bring up Fields and sit Thome against most all lefties. Rest Crede once a week. It might be wise to start playing Anderson more for Swish. If Fields was a jack of all trades he could also rest Paulie. We could play him a lot, but I don't think Fields is capable of hopping around from 3B to 1B to LF. Let's face it, we go as far as our veteran hitters and veteran starting pitchers take us. The big money guys will win us or lose us a pennant. Tonight they pretty much all were s***, including AJP cause of his inability to throw the ball.

Thome may "blow" but Paulie has been worse. It's a fact, jack.

Didn't Paulie take some pitches in his horrid at bats? He actually walked once. But I understand what you are saying.

I credit Uribe for the victory Friday night, but Oz reversed the great move by playing him again Saturday. He shoulda been on the bench. Maybe the karma would have been there for Alexei. Watching Uribe bat is not fun. Were people at the game buzzing about him playing for the second day in a row??

It must have been horrible. Did anybody boo? I thought boos were in order after OC's double play ball and some of our horrible at bats in the ninth.

Is it [email protected]? It's something like that.

It was frustrating tonight that when DeLaHoser did throw a fastball to our righties, they just whiffed or fouled it off. Then they were helpless, had NO CHANCE against that crap slider or offspeed in the dirt. Why couldn't our guys hit his fastball??? Hawk claims it was in the low to mid 90s. Do we tip our caps to DeLaHoser? I realize we also couldn't hit their relievers. Why can't we hit fastballs early in the count?

That throw from Masset was horrible. I've seen Paulie with some very nice scoops of s***ty throws by Joe this season. Paulie isn't that bad defensively. Offensively he deserves an F for his performance so far this season. A big fat F. Somehow we are still up by a few games in this bad division. You can't win 'em all, we'd won 9 in a row at home, but it's the WAY we lost that sucks. I'd not been as saddened had we lost 13-11. It's maddening to see our hitters when things are going south.

I watched the whole game because I haven't seen a ton of games and sensed we would win 2-1. Horrible effort. I don't understand why our hitters just don't do what AJ did in his last at bat. He ripped the ball where it was pitched into left center. Thome has a few homers this year where he's ripped it the other way. But more often than not, just s***ty pop up at bats. How about OC's horrible routine DP grounder to short. I didn't get to see any games in the last home stand. You guys must have had a blast seeing us actually score runs. Swisher actually got hits that homestand and OC, too. I don't think I've seen Swish get a hit all year. I"m glad some of you respect his on base percentage. I feel like a guy has to hit .280 or better to get kudos from me. I mean the guy is hitting what? .205??? Hit the f***ing ball, Swish.

I agree on the Danks kudos. Awesome job. You are right about Paulie and Thome. So sad. As far as our rivals being closer than they appear ... I think all true Sox fans realize all too well our lead is nothing. We follow the team every day and this team is too dysfunctional to dominate. Now can we outlast other s***ty teams in our division? Maybe.

The amazing thing, Northside, is Carlos "carried" us for a while. Think how bad our record would be w/out his earlier efforts? Now he's struggling and nobody is picking him up.

So much for people predicting easy sweeps against Colorado and Pitt. When are people going to realize no games are easy in MLB? We easily could lose this series.

Please don't mention fantasy baseball on here ever again. So many dogs in our lineup tonight.

That had to be the worst experience of all time for a fan at the game tonight. Except for the 2 Colorado fans there. My god. Inept.

seven shutouts this season ... how the f*** are we in first place?????

This guy is a lefty and Paul and Dye look like s*** ... at home.

We made him look like Cy Young; we swung at his s*** offspeed pitch down low. And sucked at it.

OH well. We deserve to lose tonight. Paulie again a joke. Eight homers; ridiculous Paulie.

Carlos won't be playing tomorrow obviously.

Do we even take batting practice?

AJP is having a horrible game offensively and defensively.
