Wow, you have got to be kidding me!

Whew, that should have been a strike. Here comes the curve.

Tampa keeps throwing him the curve, and he keeps trying to pull it.

Wow, that low pitch wasn't a strike all night!

Alexei needs to knock these 2 in, and then Jermaine can fake it that he got HBP.

Bradford hurt himself. We'll probably see Balfour.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 03:13 AM) I remember seeing it.. just it was straight as an arrow. He's got movement now? Or did he improve his secondary stuff that much? Now Masset... you got a point. He was another guy they wanted to throw 92 mph with better location, but he just couldn't find the outside corner after that Thames homer in Detroit.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 03:10 AM) We never saw those sliders that he threw to Inge. Never saw that 96 mph fastball either.

Alexei against Bradford here...has to flare it to right.

Wow, Aardsma looks absolutely filthy! Tigers lose!

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 02:06 AM) man shields has been impressive....throwin everything and the kitchen sink at us....4 seamers, 2 seamers, cutter/slider, curves, changes, Besides the AB by Thome in the 6th, Shields didn't make many bad pitches.

At least Aardsma retires Thames this time

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 02:04 AM) That was an unusually long swing for Getz. He's pulling everything tonight

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 01:57 AM) refresh my memory and tell me when the last time dotel pitched....im drawing a blank right now Friday vs Baltimore?

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 01:55 AM) Seeing Carrasco here makes me think Dotel will be traded. I hope so, but probably saving Dotel to close if we get the lead.

Tigers game heading into the 9th

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 01:52 AM) I hope you're happy. I was expecting a multiple "stretch" one though.

5 feet from the warning track...he swung at that like he had 2 strikes on him.

Prediction for AJP: warning track power

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 01:45 AM) Another pitch right down the pipe. Hell yes it was. Shields tried to let Thome tie it, but he's just a little off right now.

BRANYAN!

wow, that 0-1 pitch to Thome was an absolute meatball!

Starting to hit the ball harder. Thome's best bet is to wait for an outside fastball and hit it out to left center.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 02:40 AM) When Freddie's ready we have 4 #5's + CR, Torres, Bartolo . Might have a different looking bullpen by the trade dealine. Nice HR Pods. Please say no to Garcia

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 02:38 AM) Torres is a guy to watch. Could have a nice little career with us. Just like with Ben Francisco going to a Pac-10 school, I would have never guessed that Torres went to Kansas St
