Where's Brian Anderson when you need him?

Hernandez is the toughest pitcher in the world when he's getting a strike zone like this.

Some miserable at bats by our righty hitters tonight. Hernandez is getting a lot of called strikes and then swings out of the zone.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 03:45 AM) If Rios gets off to a slow start the fans will turn on him faster than you can say Orlando Cabrera. Agreed

This umpire is f***ing terrible

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 03:40 AM) To give Ozzie some credit, has any right handed hitter looked remotely dangerous against Felix tonight? Well, with Rios up next, there's no reason to bunt. A hit-and-run really would have been the best plan.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 03:39 AM) If we put him in the 3 spot, Ozzie won't make him bunt will he? I was wondering the same exact thing. For some reason, I feel like Rios should be 2nd and Beckham 3rd.

Goodness, Ozzie calling for the f***ing bunt. Give me a break!

Good start...really should try a hit and run here.

Terrible AB by Alexei and Nix. No f***ing clue why Nix is playing, he sucks against RHP

Any news on why Nix is playing and not Getz? Strange for Getz to be out after some great ABs last night.

Feel free to swing the bat Alexei

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 03:16 AM) I think some posters here forgot a actual stud is pitching against us. Yep...I actually was hoping to see Rios in his first game against Fister last night.

Hernandez looked like he might have tweaked something there walking off.

The Rios acquisition will hopefully give Pods more rest, as his bat is so slow now and he seems slower on the bases.

QUOTE (CSF @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 02:06 AM) Viciedo 4-5. Good. JorDanks 0-5. Bad. It's gotta be his wrist. No way he could be lighting it up, and all of a sudden go stone cold like that. Or his crazy high BABIP earlier in the year has caught up to him?

Well, we just saw the biggest douche bag in history. With the beer being thrown at Victorino, couldn't that be fan interference and the runners not be allowed to advance?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 03:34 PM) Justin Speier was released by the Angels. He isn't good any more. Wouldn't surprise me to see him end up in Chicago, with either the Sox or Cubs. KW was interested in him in the past.

Great win. That last play was surreal, as the entire right side of the infield and Dye were walking towards the center of the diamond while the ball was in the air.

I actually would have had Thornton up to face Branyan.

QUOTE (GordoTheGreat @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 04:31 AM) This is looking good so far. newbie

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 04:28 AM) Not talking about you two, but I've always wanted to see two Sox fans get into a legit fistfight over whether or not Greg Walker should be fired. Team SSI vs Team Dick Allen

QUOTE (JDsDirtySox @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 05:23 AM) It looked like that ball almost hit the LF in the head as he got up there on that wall. He didn't miss that by much. Hawk's reaction would have been amazing.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 04:06 AM) Konerko walk Wise pinch runs for Paulie AJ gets signal to bunt....ignores it and singles to right field Carlos flies out to left Lexi goes yard for a 3 run shot Getz walks Pods grounds into fielders choice Pods caught stealing to end the inning Bobby comes in and strikes out the side on 9 pitches Sox win 3-1 Wrong, AJP didn't single. Try again!

ALEXEI!!! That would have been a heart breaking catch.
