MAGGLIO!!

Any word on Thome?

So decided to rent a movie instead, and just got back to see Thome walk gingerly off the field. No reason for him to be batting when everyone else has been pulled. It looks like he told Ozzie he was ok, so hopefully this means Cowley says he's out for the year.

Ned Yost and Eric Gagne are getting booed about as bad as I've ever heard by a home crowd.

And with that, I'm going to go to a movie with the wife. Have a good night everyone!

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 01:59 AM) Very little. Agreed, even though the more I watch the Twins, the more I think the best way to beat them is to have lefty relievers.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 02:36 AM) Without a little more than three weeks left in the season, every game the Twins win at home and don't gain ground is a fantastic day. I know that seems incredibly obvious, and it is, but with a 1.5 game lead, and the Sox having one more game at home than the Twins do, it's a big deal. Agreed. That 4 game series they have at Tampa is just such a huge advantage the Sox have. Hopefully they get Kazmir, Shields, Garza, and Price.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 02:33 AM) MVP? Nope, I think it's Pedroia with a strong finish.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 01:33 AM) That segment had me laughing out loud. Triumph was on top of his game. Should be more tonight as well.

Ouch, slam for Morneau.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 02:30 AM) Big spot for Minny here... Liriano looks very good tonight. His stuff is sharper than previous outings.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 01:24 AM) Football Friday here at the paper, so I'm stuck waiting for scores. I've got Farmer and Stone. I can only imagine..... Pop up back of 3rd that OC catches, and Vlad fakes the tag. The smile on their faces was electric...the most romantic thing since "The Notebook".

Anyone see the Triumph feature on Conan last night at the Convention? I thought it was great when Triumph said that while McCain served in Vietnam, Triumph's brother was served in Vietnam.

Tony...did you see that cute little moment between OC and Vlad?

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 01:17 AM) And yet a few days from now if Joe says he's ok to play, he'll play. It was so obvious there was just a different energy with Crede in the game.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 01:15 AM) Ya know...Juan makin' some money for himself from SOMEBODY next year. This year may look like quite a deal compared to what some may offer him. I keep picturing him as the Orioles SS.

URIBE!!

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 01:10 AM) There is like 9 things wrong in this short post. That would be the trade that would finally get Flash banned.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 01:08 AM) Poreda with 6 K's in 4 IP, no ER, tonight in the AA playoffs. Awesome...we can trade him for Juan Pierre this offseason and Pierre can takeover in LF for the injured Quentin.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 01:06 AM) DJ mentioning Junior "shaking his hand out" after that swing. Too soon for Anderson to come in?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 01:06 AM) I really don't know enough about the injury to have a stong opinion one way or another. I will say the Sox are one of the few teams I trust medically when it comes to what they say, as they have had a very good track record in the past. Given what Carlos had to say today, I'm not going to turn into Chicken Little. Yeah, I'm pretty relieved, to be honest.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 02:03 AM) Stay hot Paul. So you feel ok about Quentin's long-term prognosis?

Konerko!!!! 5-0

BTW, how was the Obama interview on O'Reilly?

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Sep 6, 2008 -> 12:50 AM) It would be nice to break open a 6-7 run lead and wear out the Angel bullpen for the weekend. The Sox NEED this game and hope to beat Lackey tomorrow because Saunders/Richard is basically a forfeit on Sunday. I still don't know why you don't put Egbert on the roster. Can't be a service time issue, the guy is 26 or so. I thought Danks was starting on Sunday? And BTW, the reason Egbert isn't on the roster is because he's terrible!
