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

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 02:38 AM) It really was an impressive outing by Torres. Hopefully they keep the kid in mind if Colon can't throw anything but a mediocre fastball. Yep, I'd rather watch Torres try and develop into a 5th starter/swing man instead of watching Colon throw fastball after fastball with a rather mediocre attitude.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 02:38 AM) lol im used to texting. i didnt think it was a big deal, u understand what i typed. im sorry, "you" lol Nah, it was just funny.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 01:36 AM) No. Burrell's homer was just an inside fastball that wasn't inside enough. Gross' HR was on a cutter that didn't cut enough. I really liked his curve, and think he should use it a little more.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 02:35 AM) He's done well enough (so far) to deserve a win. Our offense has just been asleep all night. Agreed...did he give up both homers on the same cutter?

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 02:34 AM) and u know ur done if ur not gunna score You use text message for this?

So demoralizing tonight...please make a comeback Seattle. It's crazy to think of the situation we could be in come Sunday.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 01:30 AM) We have nothing to lose with the way the bullpen has been going. Let him stretch it out as much as he can. Have them ready, but no reason to pull him yet. Got to get him out now. Everything continues to be up in the zone. Good effort by him.

QUOTE (Palehosefan @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 02:25 AM) Phegley has got to be getting tired of these 0-fer games, yeesh. I know it's early and all, but it was an overdraft and you wonder if he'll ever get better with wooden bats?

Might be time to get the pen up. Torres has been up in the zone with a lot the last 2 innings, and it would be nice to get him out with a good start under his belt.
