Green shirt guy is there again. God damn. Pedroia is a stud, too.

No Youklis according to Rotoworld. So that's a plus. We really need a win today to assure a split. Even if we split against the Bo-Sox, it isn't a horrible series because they are still pretty damn good and the defending champs. But at least give yourself a chance to win the series tomorrow.

QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 09:19 PM) Does anyone think Horacio might be in for Jose actually as he was a starter before? Then Getz for Fields and Poreda/MacDougal for Boone? The guy has been injured and is no where near ready to pitch 100 pitches every five days, so probably not. He is the Boone replacement and Poreda will probably come up for Contreras. Rongey talked about Poreda not coming up before Contreras' injury. KW will go with the best player available and that is clearly Poreda. He has one plus pitch and the rest of our options have zero combined. And if Getz could play solid D at third, he would be the perfect number two hitter.

I really like this move, but it happened about two weeks late. We still control our own fate, but we have a lot going bad for us right now. I seriously do not know what I will do if the far-superior talent-wise Twins win this thing again. Twins never hurt themselves with missing bunts and they always get runners in. I so wish we had their organizational philosophy + manager.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 08:18 PM) Boone's ERA is now 5.36 It was sub 2.00 like a month ago. HAHA. Wow he has really crapped his pants.

Ozzie and Boone great job. We had a shot to win a game we shouldn't win and now we are back in second place. Why do the Twins never lose to KC?

Game Ova. Nice job Boone.

Well we had a great outing from Carrasco and now Boone f***s it up. Bye Bye to first place again.

Boone you suck, please pack your bags.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 06:37 PM) Due to the fact now that Contreras will likely not be back for a while, and we only have 4 starters set in stone for next season, I think the possibility of us going and signing a pitcher have increased by a lot. And the most likely candidate I see us going after is Garland. Problem is though, Contreras is on the books for $10-plus million, so adding another high priced pitcher with two already at over $10 million is probably not gonna happen. My best guess is that the Sox try to make another Floyd type move.

That is bad. Well he gave us a hell of lot in his career, so hope his recovery goes well.

Cue the Hawk commercial: "It's amazing what a bunt can do"

Let's put up a couple runs plz.

QUOTE (NYSox35 @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 07:03 PM) Yeah, that was terrible... Well he had a 2.00 WHIP that inning...

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 07:01 PM) If Carrasco does well tonight, do they look at possibly moving him into Jose's spot? I don't know if he is stretched out enough and look at his numbers last year starting. Horrible. He seems to have found a role as the do-it-all reliever. Why mess with that? Give me Poreda.

Way to be a gamer DJ. He clearly doesn't have his stuff, but he is fighting. Maybe AJ's words last night sparked him.

Olympics Time! This is not gonna be pretty, maybe when I check the score in a couple hours, I will be surprised, but I don't think I will be that lucky. Might be a 9-3 type loss.

Are we now convinced that Carrasco has got nothing tonight? Also, Livan is Coors Field, it will be like 12-inch softball home run derby.

Did you guys know Alexei is the best pure baseball player on the Sox? No one else makes in-bat adjustments on our team like him.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 06:44 PM) He threw 4 pitches. and he was 88 MPH with no movement. Red Sox hitters will feast on that, we were lucky their worst hitter was up.

Well the Twins are gonna win tonight it appears.

Carrasco has no stuff tonight it appears.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 06:41 PM) Carrasco coming in We need four innings. So strike one please.

My god, if we lose the division by a game or so, we might look back at a routine play that you do hundreds of times in spring training as the cause.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 06:37 PM) That's the last we've seen of Contreras this season. And it's sad cause he looked pretty good. Stuff wise, he looked like the April version.
