Cardinals just blew a 6 run lead in the 9th against the Rockies.

Great location on the 0-2 pitch! Jenks time in the 9th...hide the women and children!

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:22 AM) Thornton bringing it at 99. But of course I'm sure the WCIU gun is jacked up according to the soxtalk myth/posters. I don't think it is, as the gun has been consistent all game. It's not like the debacles in KC where Linebrink was "throwing" 98 mph.

Gotta keep the fastball up in the zone.

Is it bad I'm excited to see Andruw bat in the 8th?

Mathis has no prayer in that AB

QUOTE (bmags @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:08 AM) God, watching this team, i just don't get it (well, i do, the pitching) but i love it. lillibridge playing like ...a real player, vizquel kicking ass. Beckham sucking the world up. I would never have guessed this was the lineups that would turn it around. I think we underestimate how much Beckham destroyed the flow of this offense.

Mathis is lucky that went foul, as Lillibomb was going to destroy him at home.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:06 AM) How awesome is this team right now? They made a great pitcher look mediocre tonight

rocket by Pierre to score the run. Steal 2nd, and let's have the same situation.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:05 AM) Speaking of betting... Yeah, I believe you owe me my cut for encouraging you to bet on Strasburg games!!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:04 AM) No, but I just don't see why you think Sox management cares about that? Makes no sense. Nobody gives a bleep bout Jones. You underestimate how much KW and Ozzie LOVE him

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:02 AM) This is a myth in the fathom imagination. Jones and Lilly. Two of my most hated players of the past. Man. Nice job making me eat words you 2. Want to bet he plays at least 3 of the next 5 games?

QUOTE (sweatpants @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:01 AM) What I would like is 2 challenges. If you lose the challenge, you lose an out. Baseball is a game where stats matter. You could never do that. You get one challenge. If your challenge is correct, then you don't lose it.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:00 AM) I agree but he needs work at third. I would love to see him hang around and room with Omar Vizquel and Lexi for the rest of the season. He'll probably be playing 1b next year

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:01 AM) man weaver is throwing some awful pitches this inning All night, I thought he was throwing junk. Usually his change-up is a lot sharper.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 05:00 AM) SAY WHAT FATHOM?! Sorry, I flipped the channel and thought it said the 0-2 pitch was the fastball he took down the middle.

Wow, he just missed that! What a stud!

Looks like we've found Lillibomb's kryptonite. Thankfully Weaver didn't make the All-Star Game, so Lillibomb won't have to face him in the game.

Viciedo with some great swings tonight. I've been extremely impressed with his pitch recognition.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 03:56 AM) Oh I know, but it's much easier to b**** and moan about it this way.... Druw! Someday, you'll stop being so negative

HAHA!!!!!!!!!! There's 399...he's in the lineup the rest of the week!

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 03:54 AM) ...and the strippers Why are you talking about Andruw Jones?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 03:51 AM) I'm very intrigued to see how Ozzie manages these last 2 innings. With the Abreu/Hunter/Matsui trio lingering, I really want to see Thornton get them.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 03:50 AM) That was blatant...still doesn't give us our run back though... Think of it this way...if it was one on, no outs for Rios, the Angels might have pitched him differently to try and induce the double play. I doubt they throw him an inside fastball.
