Damn Pods, you don't have to try and bunt for a hit.

Huge pick PK!

You can't keep walking the #9 hitter. Dotel is warming up, which makes me think Linebrink is hurt.

That pitch on 3-1 was right down the freaking plate.

I wonder if Linebrink is hurt? 2 straight 8th innings he hasn't been used.

Tying run to the plate. Lots of bad pitches being made this inning.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ May 27, 2009 -> 04:55 AM) Not a good pitch call by Corky. That's the pitch Colon goes with whenever he gets 2 strikes on a lefty. He missed his spot by a foot, that's what the problem was.

Damn, Abreu just kills us. That was a really, really bad 0-2 pitch.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ May 27, 2009 -> 04:45 AM) Did someone say something about Nix's lack of a bat earlier in the thread?? Yep, and I stand by it. Not every individual game should by the final say for whether or not a player is good.

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 27, 2009 -> 04:41 AM) i guess you'd have the same complaint about the rest of the hitters in the league then, given Saunders' 3.12 ERA. We've had as many good swings tonight as we did yesterday...we're just facing a better pitcher. I couldn't be happier about the focus of our hitters and their approach tonight.

QUOTE (JDsDirtySox @ May 27, 2009 -> 04:38 AM) I would rather call up Hebert Perry out of retirement than watch Josh Fields get more at bats on this team. He's had some of his better ABs the last two days. Definitely better than it was 2 weeks ago.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 27, 2009 -> 04:36 AM) So the Sox probably would have scored 5 runs if that pitch was called a ball. OK Hawk. I love BA but he fouled the next pitch off and swung and missed the next one after that. Chances are he would have done nothing. You have to be mentally stronger at the plate than that, especially in that situation.

That's a hell of a play by Alexei!

Damn, he just can't square up the fastball! Now, if we lose this game, we'll never hear the end of it from Hawk.

Ugh, Anderson now a disgusting 2-17 with bases loaded in his career.

This umpire really sucks. He's not giving us any favors tonight.

Great swings continue. Come on BA, one more good swing by you.

Nice eye by Thome. PK has to look for that change-up. Need a run here!!!!!

Ugh, Thome had a monster hanger on that 2-1 pitch. I think we know what happens now.

Dye is swinging the bat just amazingly right now. I thought that had a chance to get out of here. Please deliver here Thome.

Awesome defense so far by the Sox.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 27, 2009 -> 04:13 AM) Was the foul on Pietrus a good call? Yep

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 27, 2009 -> 04:12 AM) I think Nix has my favorite stance on this whole team. He's not on the plate, has a nice bend in his knees, and has a nice closed stance. And he steps into the ball. That's just sexy. I totally agree..he looks like he should be a good hitter.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ May 27, 2009 -> 04:07 AM) hopefully ozzie is noticing? I'm honestly not worried about Anderson getting the appropriate playing time anymore. Even Ozzie wouldn't mess this up. Of course, if CQ is able to return in a few weeks, and Pods is playing well, then Anderson will likely get minimal PT.

Wow Nix...just as I was watching the basketball game.
