QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 04:42 PM) Hawk was dead on... Theriot was left out to dry. Pierzynski's slide may have also contributed to the throw not having much on it. That's getting overlooked.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 04:41 PM) I have not been impressed He's now a versatile 25th man who would have had a longer productive career if it weren't for nagging injuries.

AJP is awesome.

QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 01:11 PM) Plus, this would be one FANTASTIC way to stick it to NY. "Oh, YOU guys lost to London for the 2012 games...that sucks. Did we mention we got the 2016 Games? How'd you like THEM Big Apples?!" Meh. The IOC was pretty set on giving it to Europe for those games anyways it seems. I don't really see it as equal scenarios.

Ah, had a good pitch to hit there too. Laid off some tough pitches though, so he showed a good eye up there.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 03:24 PM) This guy is lighter fluid for the opposition he BLOWS, you keep defending him over and over for no reason! QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 02:48 PM) It really isnt. Yes he's been bad, but that was a misleading stat and you know it. Learn to read bud

Nice play by Torres

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 02:53 PM) Pods sure can hit. Now if he could just get a baserunnng lesson we'd be set. I really wouldnt mind if he was brought back next year.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 02:44 PM) Yes it is. He has allowed a bunch of inherited runners to score, or allowed some on his own. That resulted in the Sox losing or making a comeback impossible. It is that bad. It really isnt. Yes he's been bad, but that was a misleading stat and you know it.

Chelsea getting served quite the punishment by FIFA

I didnt hate Alexei attempting the steal with two outs...it was just an awful jump. It happens. I'm not gonna look it up, but hasnt Lexi been pretty decent with SB's this year?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 02:34 PM) I didn't say we should bench AJ for Flowers. I just find it absurd that Ozzie so called reasons for not playing any of the young guys is that it would be, "giving up". And that Ozzie instead still regards what used to be the second worst everyday player in all of baseball (Wise), as a good option to start in a very significant game, wherein, the DH is not even playing. Ozzie is too proud to ever say "we give up". You just gotta take what he says with a grain of salt sometimes. We'll see Flowers soon enough.

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 02:30 PM) The last 12 times Pena has appeared in a game, the Sox have lost. The Sox are 5-18 when he makes an appearance. Wow. And he entered when they were already losing in like every game but 3. That stat is not nearly as terrible as you're trying to make it seem.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Sep 3, 2009 -> 02:23 PM) Sigh.. Good to see we won't be playing Flowers until we're out of it, but Wise will keep us in the race for sure! Sigh...some people... Why take AB's away from AJ? He's one of the few players who has played well and as if they give a s***. So yeah, after a day off let's sit him again. You and the majority of the board have been b****ing about Rios, and rightfully so, so Ozzie is giving him the day off. I also have no problem sitting Dye as he has done jack s*** lately. Honestly, what is it gonna hurt. Maybe Wise will play like he cares, which would be a nice change from many of the team right now. It's not as if FLowers plays the same position, so comparing them in a NL setting since theres no DH is silly.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 03:43 PM) Later Metrodome. f*** you!! FTW

"I don't believe what I just saw" Well in 6 years I'm now 1-0 when creating game threads. Might just go out on top after this one.

QUOTE (DonkeyKongerko @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 03:34 PM) Interesting. Where have you been BTW?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 03:34 PM) Hey, let's Tony Pena close! YAYYYY! WHAT? NO? Our closer is coming in? s***. See this is what I dont get. You yell at people for b****ing in the 9th about an impending walk off loss (cuz come on, we all thought that was gonna happen after Paulie's HR)...but you keep harping over and over on s*** like this (and the Allen trade) for weeks.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Sep 2, 2009 -> 03:34 PM) So far for the Sox he's has, with the bat. Doubtful that continues though. Thank you.

Nice job Alexei. And now a wild pitch scores Quentin. What is happening here?

Positives: Buerhle won't get a loss. And we might see Flowers in the bottom half of the inning. Negatives: The Twins get another walk off. And I will waste my time and sit here and watch it, even though I know what's going to happen.

Wow.

Of course we are gonna make it interesting. Gotta give ourselves the false hope of comeback. Good job by Beckham regardless.

So you don't bring in Williams to face Morales, but bringing him in to face Cabrera/Mauer/Morneau/Kubel is fine?

Sad that i'm not nearly excited for my first ever visit to Chicago this weekend. At least i'll have the ND game on Saturday to go to first. By the way, are there any decent bars/pubs near the stadium?
