The good news is we'll have our 2/3/4 up next inning.

Swing the f***ing bat.

With Cano rumored to be out of New York, we might as well forget about Orlando Hudson.

Balfour and Howell have been the MVPs for Tampa this season.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 01:29 AM) mark out there saying come on! . After Mark's efforts in 2005 and down the stretch here, he deserves to be the #1 Sox fan favorite of all time.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 01:17 AM) We can't score without home runs,f*** Kenny Williams,you built this station to station softball crap! Oh stop it. It's not the slow guys who are killing the Sox. It's guys like Uribe and Cabrera who are killing us with RISP.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 01:14 AM) Its not the ump...get over it. I think he's been consistent and the pitches by Howell were terrific pitches. Sorry, not blaming blue here. Then please explain to me the missed pitch to Iwamura? Also, Iwamura is the type of b**** hitter who slaps at it when he has 2 strikes.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 01:14 AM) The word of the off-season needs to be "balance" I said it earlier...we're missing Quentin, the best overall hitter on the team. I'm 100 pct confident we'll have a 3B not named Uribe/Crede/Fields. This offense will be different next season, and I think it's obvious that you have to get rid of one of Thome/Konerko/Dye.

QUOTE (spiderman @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 01:12 AM) Wow, looking extremely likely that both Chicago teams will be facing elimination. This sucks. GO DODGERS!

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 01:13 AM) I am sadly not even that mad. I knew this team was gonna be a s*** show offensively without CQ. He was the one guy in the lineup that brought a consistent bat to the table. Someone who could hit for average, power, walk and most importantly get the big hit. Agreed....I'm just happy we made it to the playoffs so the season was a success. If I actually thought this team could win the World Series, I'd be a lot more upset.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 01:12 AM) Just can't get the big hit with RISP. Nothing else you can say. You can't win in the playoffs like that. Nope, and I have a feeling that the winner of the other AL series will destroy who they face in the ALCS.

Way to swing at that pitch AJ. GET TOSSED OZZIE!

Gets a hanger, and it out in front. I thought that was a hit off the bat. GET TOSSED OZZIE!

GET TOSSED OZZIE!

Terrible Thome

Wow, what is Thome waiting for? Too many strikes have been looked at tonight.

Nice PK! That's going to be it for Balfour. Can we ph for Thome?

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 12:01 AM) The tragic thing in all of this is if we could just take this game we have a chance of beating twice away from their s***ty park,they are built for their park. Especially with the mediocre starter going for Tampa in game 4.

Nice job by Jermaine on the tough 2 strike pitch.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 11:58 PM) didn't you get the feeling danks pitched a little better on three days rest? Wonder if he concentrated more on location. I think he just had the adrenaline factor going. Let's not make a habit of it.

I'm going to be very upset if I have to feel this game was decided because of CB not calling a blatant strike.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Oct 4, 2008 -> 12:55 AM) please get the ball DOWN These starting pitchers have to be very tired. I have so much appreciation for the effort they've put in.

What's the stat about our batting average with RISP in dome stadiums this year? It was something like .140

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 11:52 PM) we aint beating this team guys,Maddon challenged our hitters and they folded,game,set match.Oh well.We aint scoring anymore in this game,Rays are just the better team. This Tampa team against LHP without Pena and Kazmir struggling is not the better team.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Oct 3, 2008 -> 11:51 PM) Just not getting the big hits with RISP. That's what you need to do to win short series and we're not doing it. Simple as that. Agreed...too many guys trying to hit 3 run homers instead of RBI singles. Buehrle's been mediocre tonight as well, as he's throwing so many pitches up in the zone.
