16 innings, 14 runs for Javy/Buehrle/Floyd on 3 days rest.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 02:56 AM) IMO Jose Contreras when healthy still has Ace stuff,when his velocity is in the 92-94 mph range,his offspeed stuff is wicked...in the game that he went down he was hitting the mid 90s... Actually, he was hitting 89 mph with his fastball in the 2nd inning when he ruptured his achilles.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 01:47 AM) If we step back and look at this team objectively,we have to realize that injuries have just killed us,Jose Contreras,Joe Crede,Scott Linebrink and Carlos Quentin and Paul Konerko battling injuries all season long...to lose your ace,your set up guy the sox paid big bucks to bring,your gold glove calibre 3rd basemen and your best hitter and MVP candidate,well it was too much to overcome.I know injuries are part of the game and the other guys gotta step up but how many teams can overcome them to their top players? Twins have had a lot of injuries this season, same with Indians. I didn't know Dye and AJP are injured?

Since when do Royals fans care this much?

Terrible at bat...not surprised. Oh well, have to win tomorrow.

SWING THE f***ING BAT THOME!

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 02:38 AM) thats gone in our park....damn...just got under it enough Yep...probably 5 feet short here.

Mercy, that was so close.

We've seen that so often from Dye. Did the same against Joba.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 01:36 AM) Tying run up. All you can ask for from where we were 20 minutes ago.

Whew, huge break!

Wise needs to steal if they give it to him.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 02:25 AM) Wasserman is up. LOL Of course, the game is getting closer.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 01:12 AM) The Sox MVP for September has been the Minnesota Twins. No one has done more to make sure the Sox stay in 1st place. This is an amazingly accurate post.

Ozzie obviously is saving Konerko and Anderson for Soria. Simply no urgency by Ozzie.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 02:19 AM) 2-0 with no body on base against a Loogy and you swing. Great. Replace his ass with Anderson at least he can catch a f***ing ball and not walker it out to RCF. Don't let that .200 batting average against LHP fool you!

Sweet, letting Griffey face a lefty reliever. Maybe he can draw a walk.

There we go Alexei....give us a finish and momentum heading into tomorrow.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 02:13 AM) Maybe the Twins will do us the favor of putting us out of our misery... Ok MexNotSoxFan#1

BTW, the pitcher we face tomorrow doesn't give up many homers.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 02:06 AM) Clayton is warming up. I wouldn't worry about Jenks or Thornton. Hey, at least we can say Go Tampa, and we know what the outcome for today is. Hopefully Rays show up tomorrow, but I have a feeling they're going to be hungover. DON'T LET B.J. UPTON DRIVE!

Why do we treat Clayton like he's 40 year old veteran? He just threw 100 pitches on Wednesday, and now we're having him warm up again? Ozzie's done that a few times this year.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 02:04 AM) And to add on, please, no one compliment Davies. It don't want to be disgusted anymore than I have been. He's pitched good tonight, in all honesty. Just enough control to not walk hitters, but around the plate to induce weak swings.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 02:02 AM) And that's a wrap from me. This would be a pathetic effort in April. For it to be Septemeber and playing like this with what we have at stake? Inexcusable. And please greg, don't post some dumb article about how much passion Ozzie has because he yelled at the team and called them out for tonight's effort. Big deal. I could do the same thing. On 3 days rest, Vazquez/Buehrle/Floyd went 16 innings and allowed 14 runs.

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Sep 21, 2008 -> 01:58 AM) If Ozzie had some guts he'd chew out Boone in front of everyone and announce that he's never pitching him again this season. You would hesitate to cover 1st base as well if you've walked everyone you've faced recently.
