Crede will get his first hit here, a single between 1st and 2nd.

I bring Koch or Tagatsu in for the 9th. Politte looked good in the 8th. Stairs went down on some serious gas (98 on the gun). Now a few Sox runs would be great

Well to the bottom of the 8th we go.

True that, don't know what I was thinking.

Cliff had the day off, he's fine. However, I don't like Cliff and Koch going back to back, since both are similar pitchers velocity wise and such. I'd go with Tagatsu to Koch. Tagatsu changeup and then Koch's heater (Or at least we hope its a heater) is what I'm talking about.

Shiite...Lee ropes one down the line but goes to 2nd and is gunned down. This time Carlos is out. I thought Maggs was safe last inning.

Frank flies out to center. Sully had to throw quite a few pitches though. Frank's missed a few golden opportunties. That pitch included, it was up and in (not in enough), but not much movement.

10 runs by the Royals and my ass is to the library to finish my reports.

Alright Frank, start things off here.

Will it be Shingo or Adkins in the 8th? Either way, Sox need some runs...I want to feel a little more comfortable. 10 aught to do the trick

Nice, Jackson made some nice pitches down in the zone with some sinking action on it. I'm guessing that was a slider that got Sweeney out.

Sweeney hammered the hell out of that one, but it went way foul. Its 2-1 now. If he don't get Sweeney, then my guess is Adkins is coming in.

Ya, Beltran would of been safe, my bad. Poor play by Konerko, in hindsight. On a side note, Olivo had called a pitch out on the play and it was a dman good thing that the batter swung, otherwise it would of been a wild pitch.

Damn, Jackson made a nice pitch and Berroa had a single and its runners on 1st and 3rd now. Adkins is warming up in the bullpen. Jackson is topping out at around 91 MPH. The first batter Jackson faced, Graffy, absolutely ripped it, but right at Lee. Damn it, Jackson can't field his position and get his ass over to 1st so they can't get a DP. Probably wouldn't of got it either way.

Mike Jackson is on his way out. I'm scared, someone hold me

Leadoff walk. Now it will be interesting what they do. Guillen is coming out and the Sox are making the call to the pen.

Could explain how he's working the count. We know he can't get any wood on the ball. In his defense he damn near had a shot double early in the game. I think its been a little tough luck for Jose, but I think were all used to his awful performances against lefties. I'm still holding out that he'll do well as a lefty only hitter.

Santiago flies out to center and thats a 1-2-3 inning. Now I wonder if Elo comes out for the 7th or if they tell him good game, we'll get it from here. I think we'll see Shingo at some point today and Koch will be in as well.

and you like Hinrich which is a plus

Uribe has looked meh at the plate while Frank had an awesome 18 pitch at bat in the 1st and then drew a walk. His next at bat he hit one deep to center, but it was caught. He's hitless thus far. To answer the other, Elo has looked real good at times, but his control has been off and its hurt him a bit. He's had some good gas and some nice cutters. Hasn't thrown near enough changeups or sliders in my book though.

Crede will be fine. His numbers will be up, in fact he'll hit about 25 homers.

Kap, try cbs...but no one is faster then Soxtalk

I agree with you. Part of that reason is that I have no faith in Mike Jackson and I saw someone say that he's up in the bullpen.

I think Bengie Molina started the season on the DL, so both Paul and Jose Molina made the roster. Jose hit a homer yesterday for the Angels. Tough loss for the Twins.

Uribe with a nice play to end the inning. Juan Gone hit it hard. I'm guessing Elo is done for the day, which is kind of scary cause it means 4 innings out of the pen. That or the Sox let him out their next inning, but with a guy ready in the pen just in case.
