The dreaded lead-off walk! Kelly Dransfeldt to pinch-run. Anyone got numbers handy on his stolen base ability?

Yeah, I forgot that Fick was pinch-ran for by Baldelli. Thanks for the correction. Damn, Frank just misses a sure two-bagger down the right field line.

Shingo goes 1-2-3. He had a nasty pitch on Huff that just froze him for the K. Rock on, Shingo!

Lugo ground out. Here comes Huff who worries me. Two lefties in a row, let's see how Shingo handles it.

Shingo - time!

E-Lo won't get the win, as Mags pops out. No steal attempt by Willie there... 2-2 Going into the 8th.

Magglio has a 2-0 count, and misses one. 2-1 Count, Harris on first.

He just totally missed it. Hall then threw to second, and Rowand was stuck in the middle of second and third. He ran right to third, the throw to third was high and into the seats.

Olivo grounds out. Harris hits a tapper, but beats it out. Speed kills.

Winning Ugly at its finest, lol.

Wow - the Sox catch a break, as Olivo f***s up a bunt, Hall throws to second and they get Rowand in a rundown, but the throw to third is high and into the stands. Rowand scores. 2-2 Tie game.

Yeah, high pitch counts worry me. Loaiza has a good start and right now is in line for the LOSS. Come on guys.... Especially against the D-Rays, let's go, get two runs this inning...

Loaiza is at 119 pitches, Ozzie comes and gives him a pep-talk.

Loaiza walks Toby Hall, but Miguel Olivo picks him off first. Olivo.

This feels like a game Loaiza would have lost last year. It's also looking like we're going to lose this game, sorry for being so pessimistic. We've had so many opprtunities, and haven't cashed in.

That's dissappointing. That's what, twice, three times, we have runners on first and second, nobody out, and can't do anything with it.

An ugly trend is starting to occur - when our leadoff hitters do well, the Sox do well. When they don't do well, the Sox don't do well. So far Harris and Uribe are zero for six.

I definitely did NOT like Shoe being a starter coming out of ST, but he has impressed the hell out of me. He has a little bit of zip on his pitches, he keeps his pitches down. He gets his breaking ball over for strikes. He's our fourth starter, and I'll take a start like that, six or seven innings with three runs or less, any day of the week. I think an order of crow is on it's way to my house, lol.

I also have a question. Is there a train that can take me from the south suburbs (Oak Forest, near Orland Park), to the Cell?

Sean Casey would be a nice lefty bat. Ken Griffey would be nice as well, but Griffey is too injury-y and to money-y (Boers and Bernstein-isms, lol). If Konerko continues hitting like he has been, I see no need to trade Konerko.

Yeah, Johnson is declining. I'll take Kris Benson in the last year of his contract, or Kip Wells, for a combo of Rauch and, another mid-level prospect, but none of Reed, Anderson, Sweeney, and Honel.

I miss Jose Valentin... He'd be a nice lefty bat in the lineup right now. We don't have that right now, and until Uribe slows down, he ought to be our everyday secondbaseman.

I'd definitely do that.

One gone. Uribe flys out.

Uribe just missed a double, just our luck these past two days I gues...
