Damn Straight, and who said he'd win it

I CALLED IT Joe Freaking Crede, game winning 3 run homer

This is odd. No way in hell would I pitch around Konerko. I like Crede much more in this situation. He is very comfortable going opposite field and I got a good feeling about this. Also, I tend to agree with Cerb, bunting there would be nice, but I don't bunt with him because Magglio has been crushing it and you expect him to go oppo field and hard. Like I say, Rios is in, that dp gets broken up.

I didn't know that Cooper called most decisions about the pitching. Makes sense, but I think we need to start stretching these guys out a little. I guess though I would have rather seen Glover than White at this point in the game. 24 pitches is a ton for a reliever. If its someone like White or Glover that are more long term, every few day guys than it makes sense, but Marte is used almost every day so if you pitch him 50 pitches, you shut him down for 3 days otherwise you risk injury. You can tell things changed when Nardi left. Pitchers started staying out there longer. Hell, notice how Colon threw 130 pitches his last outing, you know that never happened with Manuel/Nardi in there. Nice High Throw and Graffy is on 2nd on the error by Munson.

This is another mistake in my book, not pinch running. Rios is a much better runner and a better shot at going first to 3rd as well as a better shot at breaking up that double play that Magglio just hit into.

They will all be swinging for the fences trying to be the hero. Well I at least expect Frank to. Hell, Frank rips a single. Now we have Maggs and Graffy up. I like our chances if we stay out of a double play. Also, sox should pinch run with Rios.

There have been a few others like not running with the knuckleballer, but its been alright.

He threw 24 pitches and is used almost every day there is nothing you can do. Very rarely do I ever complain about Manuels use of pitchers. Lately he has only used White once the Sox are getting hammered and White was the only one I ever really disagreed with him using. I have always disagreed with manuel's way of running an offense. In regards to pitchers, I also must add that it isn't Manuel doing this, but Cooper. From everything I've read, it is cooper that handles 90% of all decisions with the pitchers . When they come out, etc.

You don't know how much I love Olivo as a player.

Surprised at the high avg against Glover. He has better stuff than that. That was a hell of a play by Jimenez. Who says he doesn't have range. Would of been one of the best plays I've seen all season from any team if they completed it.

For me to be creative I'd have to start picking the other teams players

Damn it, I swore they were going to biff that. I couldn't tell who was up in the pen, but my guess would be Glover is coming in and he'll be in for a while as long as the game keeps going. Still, like I say, one inning at a time.

Your damn straight. It got me jumping around the house. Now if only we get a hit, then I'll really show some emotion, lol.

That first pitch was one if Joe stayed back just a bit it would of been over.

Whooo, Miguel doubles. Jimenez reachs first on an error by Santiago. Mainly because the ball hit right on the end of the grass/field.

Damn, Konerko got lucky, from the looks of it, he wasn't in front of the ball.

Nah, he TRIED to bunt, that automatically counts him out of our team. Its sad that our catchers are really the only people that can bunt. Also Jim, we don't need to ask Wally, we can just hire me, cause I know I would of bunted. Let me also say that I don't believe I'd make a good manager.

In this situation, I'd be pitching careful.

Santiago ripped it but Maggs catches it guns it to first and they almost double him up. Great play by Magglio all around.

He's been awful this year. Nice, Kingsdale looks like he should be a member of the Sox, failing to get the bunt down on 3 attempts.

Haven't the Sox hit into the most double plays this season and isn't Konerko the major league leader in that category.

JM sits and waits for things to happen instead of trying to make them happen. With the team playing the way it is, you got to go out and make something happen.

s***, double play. Konerko got sawed off and weakly hit it to the pitcher. I still say with a knuckler on the mound and good speed on, they should of been running.

In this situation you have to be real tempted to keep out of the double play, but you can't put a hit and run on with 2 on. A double steal wouldn't be a horrible call with good speed on both parts of the plate, but do you want to chance getting gunned down.

I heard Flutterball.
