QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 02:37 AM) Gimme a break. Kazmir hasn't been great lately. He has had to work and only pitching about 5 innings and Sonnanstine or whatever is their weak link. Fricking off day killed our momentum. No, smallball killed our momentum.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 03:35 AM) I didn't see the second homer. Was it on a fastball? Yes, and it was destroyed.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 03:35 AM) I don't care what anyone says about Dotel being lights out everytime I watch him the guy gets lit up like a Christmas tree.... Who says that about him? His ERA since the ASB is around 6, and he's allowed 6 homers in 13 innings.

Sox bullpen = disaster Jenks, Thornton...and pray for a good start

Wow....impressive swing. What a terrible all-around game. Go Angels!

Wow Dotel....that's embarrassing. The opposition is definitely catching up to his fastball now.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 02:29 AM) Are you including Danks? He didn't pitch his best, but c'mon. I thought the 5th, 6th, and 7th was the worst he's looked all season.

BTW...superb managing by Maddon tonight.

I can't remember the last time Dye delivered in a situation like this. This has been a whole team failure so far tonight.

Takes the 3-2 pitch right down the plate. Pick him up Jermaine.

Just swing hard on the first pitch CQ and hope it's a fastball.

With the way things are going tonight, OC is going to get caught stealing trying to get into 3rd.

Holy crap, what in the f*** is going on tonight? Why are we bunting there? BTW OC, you suck at fundamentals.

Nice job Thornton...too bad you didn't start the inning.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 03:07 AM) The offense failed Danks again. Thornton needs to hold this runner now. The Rays can be had though, especially with Percival out. Seems nothing has gone our way since those back-back CS though It's too bad Percival's out..he was the weak link in the pen.

The last 12 batters Danks face, he gave up: - single on a hanging slider - deep fly out to center on pitch up in zone - fly out to left on pitch up in the zone - triple on fastball down the plate - ground out - homer - strike out after falling behind 2-0 - fly out on 2-0 count - deep fly out to center - double on hanging change - line out to 1b - double to deep LF

Terrible Ozzie, simply f***ing terrible managing tonight.

Leadoff double off of Danks. Why is he still in this game? Everything he's throwing is up in the zone, and Thornton's warming up.

Seriously Alexei, take some pitches.

Nice catch by Griffey out there. That really better be it for Danks, as he seemed to hit the wall after the 4th.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 02:34 AM) Sure did....big time... The enthusiasm in the crowd just died on that second caught stealing.

What a terrible pitch...why would you throw him a 3-2 fastball? Danks has been up with everything the last two innings...get someone up in the pen now.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Aug 23, 2008 -> 02:45 AM) God damn it. I really wish theyd be a bit more patient seeing as he's walking so many people. At least make him throw a strike before you swing Crazy stat, as Dye has gone 14 games without drawing a walk.

Ugh....we're keeping Tampa in this game.

Great eye by Quentin on the 3-2....he's our best 3-2 hitter in terms of staying patient.
