Ginger, how can you complain about Thornton? He got Patterson to hit a routine ground ball, it's just some idiot made an AWFUL decision on who should be covering the steal attempt (of one of the slower players in baseball).
Just got home to see we loss, and Ozzie continues to kill this team's chances by not realizing how bad Dunn is right now. When Lillibridge is your most dangerous hitter....your team sucks.

Fathom says it all the time. I really think Ozzie wants to get fired.
Ozzie is more scared of Matt Stairs than he is Bautista.

Not a chance. Trust me. They are so high on that kid. Maybe a couple of their other, I don't know, 5 high upside starters. But Teheran is going nowhere.
They don't need Danks when they can promote guys like Minor or Julio T

I wonder how many walk off wins we have at home.
This is going to be another sad moment for us loyal Soxtalk fans.
We're in the bottom 3 over the last three years I believe.

Well I hope that would be your opinion, since you're the genius that proposed the wager.
For the record, the Sox went on their incredible streak when shack and I started making mock bets before each series.

Hmm, well...I guess we'll take that.
Oh s***, now McPherson is in for PK if it stays tied...great.
Hey J4L or balta, etc...isn't McPherson extremely slow?

I'd rather have Dan Pasqua at 45+ years old than this DH albatross we're stuck with, for 3.5+ more years...
There was a time when this board used to brag how we have no bad contracts on this team.

Dunn has had many oppurtunties to help his case in late close games and seems to strike out every one of them
Yep, he's a "losing" player. I hate his performance this season.

And when the Indians collapse, and we are within 2-3 games of first with 75 to play, I just wish you would take up knitting.
He's going to be a famous haiku writer, you know that

Danks doesn't come with the injury concerns Marcum had.
So you think we get more than Marcum did? That would be stunning to me, but not because I don't think Danks has more value than Marcum.
