QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:33 AM) Maybe Ozzie is actually looking at the reports and sees these guys don't hit Thornton that well instead of automatically entering Jenks. That would work for me for the rest of the year. Absolutely, especially if he gets confidence in his slider.

Don't let this %%%% head beat you!

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:29 AM) Stone was very critical of the fastball to Damon that was hit before it was even thrown. It is amazing how good he is. This offense is as bad as ever except Beckham is there to bail thme out. Truly pathetic. Which is funny, because with Damon missing that 1-1 fastball by a mile, you would never throw that same hitter a slider and speed up his bat.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:29 AM) ARod isn't a lefty, Oz. And IIRC, Matsui destroys LHP

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:28 AM) He hasn't So did Jenks lose his closer spot?

Yankees found themselves a stud set-up man.

Wow, Jenks isn't warming up. Please tell me he's been traded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha, good swings, he just has no power in those legs anymore.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:21 AM) Gulp...Bobby. Bring it...time for him to step up or sit down. I'm pumped for the top of the 9th.

I love how AJP is calling for more 2 strike sliders from Thornton.

Yikes, that was a great effort by Damon there. Tip your cap, and good hustle by Wise.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:17 AM) Two hits up against the wall, but that was really it. Never really squared him up. Really made one bad pitch, and that was to Molina.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:16 AM) If the Sox have the lead in the 9th and go to Jenks, I really think it will be decision day. If he's back, great. If he screws up again, I think he'll be out of that role for a little while. Totally agree with you. If Thornton can get Damon out, he'll be going up against their 3-4-5. Not exactly Inge, Raburn, and Santiago.

Hell of a performance by Gavin. That was as good of stuff as I've seen from any pitcher this year. The Yankees looked overmatched.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:12 AM) Thank you, Ump. Much worse pitches have been called strikes tonight.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:07 AM) LMAO at this game, this team, this season... Well said

Cano totally chickened out there.

Wow AJP, you beast!!

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 04:04 AM) Last year, Q parks both those pitches. On that slow motion replay, you can see how messed up his right wrist is on the swing. The rotation is all messed up.

CQ fouling off some meatballs.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:00 AM) Thanks Girardi. Are they bringing in Hughes? For those that haven't seen him in their pen this year, he looks like an absolutely different pitcher. Filthy!

Get your swagger back CQ. I want to see that famous bat flip from last year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 03:57 AM) Really though...who would we be benching to give him those AB's? The hurting Quentin? Dewayne Wise? Podsednik? To be honest, why did we even acquire him? He's not very good, and the Red Sox gave up on him.

Konerko seems to be striking out an awful lot lately.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Jul 31, 2009 -> 02:55 AM) So has anyone made the Kotsay-Erstad comparison yet? Already made right away yesterday. DAllen and I have already said he's going to get way too many at bats.
