Take 3!

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Sep 27, 2008 -> 04:35 AM) We could use a miracle. Though the Twins losing to the Royals at home might be the only miracle we get. How about a walk and HBP!

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 27, 2008 -> 04:35 AM) It's a no win situation. Dotel gets used in the 5th. Who are the Sox pitching right now? Horacio in a 1 one run ballgame? Depending on the score, Thornton or Jenks (both are available).

So how can we get 3 runs in the 9th? I'm confident that Thome or Konerko will reach. Alexei isn't a good match-up, but I can see Swisher (or Griffey) batting with 2 on and 2 out.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 27, 2008 -> 03:32 AM) whats really frustrating is that if we are gonna burn dotel out anyways there was absolutely no reason to not bring him in in the 5th It's so f***ing frustrating that Eric Wedge is managing with more urgency than Ozzie is.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Sep 27, 2008 -> 03:31 AM) I missed most of it. Who started this f***ing game for the Sox??? Danks, and he might have thrown 5 pitches the whole night that were below the knees. There were also two plays at the plate that probably could have been made with either a better throw or better block of the plate.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 27, 2008 -> 03:29 AM) another good pitch to hit and JD popped it up ...damn I don't know why he keeps taking that same damn swing. Swing like a f***ing man.

Did Joe Crede get pigment surgery, and change his name to Jermaine Dye?

Ah yes, the token weak pop up to right field.

Wow, that first pitch was right down the freaking plate.

Big hit...one time Jermaine!

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Sep 27, 2008 -> 03:26 AM) Not surprised. let me guess... Logan and Ramirez? Carrasco, MacDougal, Ramirez over Dotel and Richard

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 27, 2008 -> 04:24 AM) Seriously, I mean, is it only in Little League where a coach or teammate says to the guy before he heads to the plate: "Don't overswing here. Nice and easy."? One problem with that....his coaches and teammates don't talk to him.

Pathetic at bat for Cabrera. 0-4 with what should be 2 errors. We're 10 at bats or so away from never having to see him again.

If they bring in the LOOGY, you have to let Fields bat.

Selfish swings by OC so far.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 27, 2008 -> 04:20 AM) Swisher ending the season on a somewhat positive note would be nice Absolutely

Yes, a break that he didn't catch that! If OC can avoid the double play, Griffey's going to get a big chance to do some damage.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Sep 27, 2008 -> 04:19 AM) Wow just got home to see Minny got POUNDED by KC and we're still choking. You've missed some pathetic bullpen management.

Hey, nice hit Swisher. Didn't swing too hard.

And now Richard is warming up in the bullpen? What the hell, so Ozzie chose to pitch Horacio over Richard?

Take 3 Swisher

It's also nice to know we gave up the first out in the 2nd inning with a bunt. With this pitching we have, no bunting until the 9th inning.

I think that just pissed me off more than if he allowed 2 runs.

What I don't get is Dotel had 2 straight strong performances, and then it's like Ozzie forgot he was in the bullpen.
