QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 08:50 PM) Why would it be huge if you think the Sox will be shut out ?1 or 10 to nothing makes no difference. Cause it's not like we're facing Johan Santana where 1 run seemed like 10 runs.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 08:49 PM) I can't believe I'm saying this. But you guys need to calm down. It's 1-0. Oh be quiet

Goes without saying, but please don't spoil any of the men's 100m results in this thread. I'm trying to wait until NBC's tv coverage tonight.

Jones bails out Tank! Huge play in this game, as I truly don't think Sox will not score today.

Wow Viciedo, get your head in the f'n game!

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 08:46 PM) 5-4 toons Excellent!

Field your position!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 08:43 PM) He's doing a solid job of spotting a very wide outside corner. But he's caught our hitters looking for the splitter quite a few times when he's reached 2 strikes, and the Sox have taken 88 mph fastballs right down the plate.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 08:43 PM) Crud, we really could have used a couple more innings from Liriano here. Knee contusion?

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 08:41 PM) 91 pitches through 5 for Haren Let's knock his ass outta the game in the 6th!!! I'd rather we just score 3 runs and make them pull him. He's got nothing out there, he's just taking advantage of a bad approach by Sox hitters today.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 08:41 PM) Is it safe to say Gordon Beckham can't hit? He's just a mediocre hitter. He's always been a bad hitter at the Cell. His parents need to start coming to the games again to salvage his career.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 08:40 PM) No. He just sucks Yep, he's just a bust.

0-6 from the bottom 3 in the lineup so far. Beckham has no confidence at the plate. Hopefully Fontenot is acquired in the next 24 hours.

What the hell type of swing was that by Flowers? Like he was guiding the bat to try and hit the ball foul to right field. The Sox really need to bite the bullet and end his era here.

Flowers doesn't look comfortable swinging at all.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 08:33 PM) I'd prefer Humber take a vacation. I think we all would, but it's clearly obvious the other 5 starters can't handle the workload of a typical 5 man rotation right now.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 08:32 PM) This is the inevitable result of the fact that "being surprisingly good" has caused us to skip the rebuilding season of the rebuilding process. As well as how stupid the decision making with Sale was last year

Nice job limiting the damage. Still want to know why Dunn acted so shocked that Bourjos was bunting. Maybe Tyler can run into one here and tie it??

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 07:30 PM) Six starters is a horrible idea for a team in a pennant race. We have two starters in Q and Sale who look to have hit the wall. It makes complete sense right now. The problem is that Hudson is an absolutely waste of a roster spot.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 07:29 PM) You just contradicted yourself. The quality of arms...with so many question marks in the rotation, I don't fault them for going to the 6 man right now. That should resolve itself soon hopefully.

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 07:28 PM) Williams dropped the ball. He left this team short on the bench and in the bullpen. Bullpen will be fine, but keeping 6 starters on the roster has thinned out the bullpen big time.

Much rather walk Trout to set up the possible double play against Hunter.

Hey Adam, they're bunting here!!!

QUOTE (Caesar @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 08:24 PM) 2 on nobody out. Just like us last inning. Lets see what happens. If they bunt him over here, you have to walk Trout.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Aug 5, 2012 -> 08:23 PM) Not like we have someone who's a better hitter than him waiting in the wings to take his place... Then you go out and pick up a waiver claim that can at least hit over .230 against RHP. It really shouldn't be that hard.
