Oops, Taguchi's was an error. Just one hit. Amazing.

The media is hypocritical in these issues where people say insensitive things. Oz would be fired if he was a white coach. And I'm not saying Oz should be fired for this. No way. I think the "sensitivity training" is probably good for Oz. But let's face facts. The media would demand and the coach would be fired if he was white. It's that simple. That said, Oz is the best. I love his demeanor and candidness.

Isn't baseball the wildest, most awesome game? The first two games we explode to all those runs and you know that spells doom for tonight. We get what, two hits, yet still win on an out of nowhere gem by Freddie. Crazy game. It's to the Sox credit they won two blowouts, then could win with 2 hits.

Cuban's email is, or used to be put on the website. The listing I have is mark.cuban@dallasmavs.com I've gotten responses from him before. Seems like a regular guy, a regular ol' multi billionaire.

Great line, Los. Awesome. Somebody should call Mariotti on this.

That's why this retaliation crap is dangerous. You get suspended for retaliating. It's better to wait another series or two then plunk somebody and let the other team get the suspensions. It's obvious A.J. will charge the mound before long and we're going to lose him about a week when he does.

Mark Cuban also responds to email. Both also happen to say what's on their mind, which I think is great.

Oz is the best, unreal. It's so refreshing in this day and age of political correctness. If he gets suspended by baseball, you'd expect the Sun Times to suspend Jay for blasting his own paper on the radio. That's funny the Trib picked up on it and wrote it. The sports editor of the Sun Times said no comment. Priceless.

Hey lowercase, just wanted to say, great post. Great great stuff. You called out Mariotti beautifully. How can he not mention AJ getting plunked by the same "weapon." This might have been his worst idea for a column ever. Very stupid and simplistic and dumb. He's a great writer, but your post called him out beautifully!

I don't think it matters either way. Detroit punished the Cubs and is rolling along. We're doing well also, including taking 2 of 3 from Det last time we played. If Detroit keeps getting good pitching, the Tigers will be in it all the way. It'd be nice to see Kenny Rogers run out of gas or something. His performance is really big for that team.

That's awesome Garland hit a home run. Congrats to Garland. I wonder if it'll shut up some of those who think he's worhty of a Judy nickname. No Judy could hit a home run in a major league game. Garland was awesome today. Again. Allows four hits in eight innings, improves to 6-3 and hits a homer. Nice.

Exactly, it would be huge if the suckass Cubs could have won the first two games of that series while we beat Cincy the first two. It all counts.

Way to go on 'D' Pablo. Very nice play. We win.

Amen. No brainer here. Too bad the Cubs are so horses*** they can't win a game in the series. What a pathetic excuse for a team (and yes I realize they'll probably beat us at least one of the three we play in their crap park; maybe 2 of 3).

Jose busts off a nasty pitch there.

we need to get our bats going if Jose gets out of this with no more damage.

That will be a s*** way for Jose to possibly lose a game. On a sawed off bat type bloop.

Do you think that was Pods' fault or was it tough to read off the bat because the guy took such a massive cut?

That sucked and now the reds are running wild.

The Trib columnists and Southtown's are much more well thought out. Mariotti is a dumbass. Just as you said, whatever Oz did in this case, Mariotti would have taken the opposite stance. He is a total buffoon. Worry about Ozzie? Give me a break. At least Sox fans can see through the guy. He's humorous. I read the Trib columnists and Southtown's guy for real opinions. Moronotti ... we see through you. A baseball is a deadly weapon? WHy don't you just call Oz a guy who condones murder in your next column? He is a talented wordsmith but give me the TRIB columnist and SOUTHTOWN for real opinions; Moronotti for laughter.

I think everybody hopes this is the real Brian. As horrific as he's hit, everybody seems to want him to excel. It would be amazing if he's come around and can hit .280 the rest of the season.

Why would Milwaukee trade Lee? He's done nothing but his the s*** out of the ball for them the last 2 years?

Are we winning? Pls give me a game update in 15 words or less. much appreciated.

I wouldn't count on a sweep. Sometimes the Sox don't quite finish business against teams like the Rays and the Royals.

I don't think any loss this season will be "demoralizing" to the Sox. They are fricking world champs. Their psyche is not as fragile as some think. If we lose we lose, but not because of any one demoralizing thing. The Scrubs had something "demoralizing" happen when they lost their first baseman. One game is one game to the world champs.
