That's a brutal lineup. It's like we're begging Boston to steal 5 bases today. Oh well, have to find a way to win.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 11:59 PM) Oh nos, he's Kerry Wood. Makes for a tough choice in next year's simulated game fantasy draft. Wood, Prior, Linebrink?

Surprised Logan got called up, as he apparently was terrible a few nights ago in Durham. As for Egbert last night, he was being clocked at 85 mph and was described as "terrible" by a Tampa front office executive. Niemann dominated the Knights, as he was perfect thru 5 innings and Fields took the golden sombrero.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 04:37 AM) ------ R. Sweeney reached on fielder's choice, B. Crosby to third, E. Brown to second, E. Brown and B. Crosby scored on pitcher J. Nathan's throwing error Wow. I have to see that! Nathan was extremely quick off the mound, and handcuffed Harris on the throw. Brown must have had a great jump at first, as Delmon backed up the play pretty quickly.

A's win!!!!!

Liriano has given up 5 earned runs in 35.2 innings since he returned. I have no idea how he's doing it.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 02:40 AM) I don't think pissing away a division crown is that funny IMO....that's why people are angry. This team has too much talent...yet they're pissing it away. Yeah, I went back and read the thread again, and most of the comments seem legit.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 03:21 AM) Who did we trade him for? Richar

2-1, as Jack Cust hits another towering homer.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 03:05 AM) Tell ya what...who the hell pitched...Bowden? Just who the F is that?!? I know Ozzie's trying to give his guys the benefit of the doubt...but to tell ya the truth....OCab was right...this team has NO KILLER INSTINCT. Not with the passive likes of Crede, Paulie, Griffey, Thome. Not saying they're bad players...just no fire. I really think it's time for Ozzie to go off again. F these guys little feelers....nut up...pitchers included. I'll say it...Crede and Griffey are mediocre players now.

Twins are up 2-0. Denard Span has been one of the best players in the American League since the All-star break. The Sox don't deserve to be in 1st place right now.

Three of our least competitive games of the season in a row with Danks/Vaz/Buehrle on the mound. It's time for Ozzie to juggle this lineup.

So Richard is pitching now? Does this mean Danks is going to pitch on Monday? Maybe we can just surrender early and start Broadway.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 01:50 AM) Aaron Cunningham is coming up for the A's Wow, that has the chance to be one of the worst trades of the KW era. I had no idea Cunningham was dominating AAA like he had been.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 01:46 AM) yeah, but he's getting paid more then he should, and if he continues to go on this downward spiral, it will be tough to move that contract. Honestly, Buehrle's contract might be about the 100th most important thing to be concerned about right now.

Going to watch the Illinois football game. Nice conversing with you for a little bit in here Tony. Post in these game threads more.

Ballgame....and Hawk, if Kotsay owns Buehrle so much, why pitch to him?

Nice tag...ugh!

Tony, maybe OC just likes Cora more than Lowrie, so that's why he stayed at 2nd base?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 12:32 AM) The Sox are not a good situational hitting team. They haven't bee all season. It's just the HR's aren't there right now. Would you agree that's been a common theme over the last 5 years, and the main reason that the team seems to hit the wall and fade while the Twins stay strong?

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 12:31 AM) we just keep blowing every chance. God forbid anyone actually try to hit a single with RISP to score a run. Also, why did OC not get to 3rd on AJ's single?

Too many players trying to hit it over the Monster. Honestly, Bowden's the worst starting pitcher (besides Gio) we've seen all season.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 12:30 AM) Ozzie knew what he was doing with the day off. No one is 100% right now, and this had to be expected with Carlos(wearing down at the end of the season), but Q isn't 100% right now. I don't think he's injured though...just pressing.

Ugh, this pitcher is freaking terrible.

Quentin's swinging way too hard right now.
