Great inning by Axelrod. Pitched well enough to win, which is all you can ask for.

The pout brothers at it that inning...frustrating to see

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 29, 2012 -> 12:39 AM) ADA didn't make the play, but let's not act like he did poorly. A perfect jump was the only reason he even got there. He dropped a ball that he catches 9 out of 10 times. To win a match-up like the one tonight, you can't give the opposition free runs.

Goodness, they're all over him right now. ADA defense likely going to cost the Sox big time.

Axelrod getting hit extremely hard the third time these hitters see him

Terrible pitch to ARod, and then ADA gives them the run back.

ADA bomb!

This is getting ridiculous

Nice pitch, nice play on the spinning grounder!

Awful base running there. Seems like AJ's struggled a lot lately with runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs.

How close were any of these to going out?

When's the last time the Sox scored in the first inning?

Give me a split and I'm happy. Axelrod might want to wear catching gear out to the mound so he doesn't get hurt. Hopefully the short porch in RF gets Viciedo and Beckham going again.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 28, 2012 -> 01:57 AM) Showtime is doing a series on the Marlins. It debuts in a couple weeks. They just showed some previews. Its odd that the Guillen family is upset with the city of Chicago apparently paying too much attention to Ozzie. His quote on the show when asked what he would do if the Marlins won the World Series was "I'd take the trophy to Chicago, Michigan Avenue, bucknaked." That's class. It also shows Ozzie is always starved for attention, so I don't see how he can be upset many in Chicago are still so interested in him. I found Ozzie likable in the preview episode they showed.

Hawkins leave with an injury? Rienzo doing great again, but jeez, Jared Mitchell's average is free falling.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 06:32 PM) Sounds like they may just have locked down Parker, reading between the lines. Most expect it to be Michigan State or Duke still

Smart play by Escobar there

Ohman's roster spot could be in jeopardy, it would seem.

Samardzija ERA now up to 5.05

Nice AB for Flowers

This has been a ton of fun

Garcia coming in to pitch for Yankees, which means Sox will likely face a Yankees minor leaguer on Friday.

How long do you keep Sale in this game? I'd give him one more inning.

Countdown until someone suggest picking up Youk's option?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 06:38 PM) Why did Ventura use a Sunday line up? Horrible. Did anyone even complain about it prior to the game? It made sense given the splits and the recent struggle of Konerko and Viciedo.
