How does Davies have 7 strike outs today?

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 07:37 PM) That sounds like a personal question you'd have to ask Lance himself. Don't you remember his interview with DJ after he signed where he said that his speciality is back dooring guys?

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 08:35 PM) Lance is surviving today.... but you can't ask for much more from him. Turn it over to Carrasco, Thornton, Dotel, and Jenks

Just got back from the meeting...nice to see the Sox leading. How many guys has Lance "back doored?"

Big AB for Thome here....this could be a good start to our offensive day. Meeting time...bring us a win texsox!

QUOTE (Texsox @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 07:23 PM) Let's just hope no one gets hurt. Too bad we couldn't just forfeit and move on. Catch an earlier flight to Oakland. Zero runs in two games, then two before even one out. The bullpen gets worn out, and nothing for Oakland. This could cost us two or thyree games. Or leave Broadway in for 6 or 7 no matter what. I don't get what you're saying, to be honest. I still can't decide if you like Broadway or not.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 07:22 PM) lol, nice AB OC & KGJ... sheesh Hopefully Griffey doesn't sniff the field this wknd with 3 lefties on the mound.

The good news it that I have a meeting soon, and the Sox tend to do real well on day games when I'm in boring meetings.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 07:20 PM) The offense needs to step up that is why the starters are in there. Kyle Davies on the road should be pounded. The last two games were nice but not for the terrible defense in the 8th both games are 4-0 not real inspiring. The Royals offense is not so great that Broadway shouldn't be able to give 5 innings of 5 run ball which the offense should be able to overcome althoug hAlex Gordon just took an inning away from Broadway right there. No tipping the f***ing hat today. Agreed, we need at least a 6 spot from the offense today.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 06:17 PM) Look at this s***, he'll never get anyone out with high 80 flat fastballs. No talent. Are you being serious?

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 06:17 PM) That or we're just cheap and/or stubborn. This should have been Poreda starting if you don't want to start Carrasco.

QUOTE (Texsox @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 06:15 PM) They should cut him now. Good one...or maybe just realize that until he can get hitters out in the minors again, he should be nowhere near their major league roster?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 06:14 PM) Call me crazy, but if a guy hasn't been able to get people out for a couple months in AAA, chances are he will have trouble getting people out in the major leagues. This one is on KW. It feels like we're simply just giving this game away in order to keep Carrasco in the bullpen.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 06:12 PM) The double. Hawk and DJ are giving it to Pauly and Broadway right now. Would it have been a double play?

QUOTE (Texsox @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 06:11 PM) call up jitters + a defensive miscue. Let's hope he settles down. There is a lot of pressure on his shoulders. Simply put, he's not major league caliber.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 06:11 PM) The joke is KW saying Broadway is better than Byrd or Washburn. How about the fact that Boston doesn't have to trade anyone for Byrd...it's simply 2 million bucks they have to pay.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 06:10 PM) He couldn't handle a ball hit to his left, it wasn't hit particularly hard and didn't take any funny hops, he just didn't catch it. The play should have been made easily but of course the official scorer scores it a hit. Was it Maier's hit or the Aviles double?

Seriously, Ozzie should have followed his heart and let Carrasco start. What a bunch of s*** this is.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 07:08 PM) That's the second time Konerko has f***ed up on a ball to his left in this series and the second time the official scorer gives him a gift. Ridiculous. If it's an error, give him a f***ing error. What happened?

What a joke....the problem is that Carrasco's going to end up throwing 4 innings anyways today.

Jeff Nelson!

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 04:40 AM) This may be an unpopular opinion here (and in this country), but baseball and softball don't deserve to be Olympic sports. To me, simply not enough countries play it for it to be as competitive as it should be. Considering how unimportant the baseball results are in the Olympics, I totally agree with this. Thanks to the WBC, I could care less about watching Ernie Young represent America.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 04:23 AM) The United States has a 6-0 lead over the Netherlands at the 7th inning stretch. They should beat on the Netherlands, but good to see they are apparently going to get on the board with a win after last night's crushing loss. Watching the feed of this on the nbc olympics website is funny, you can hear fans cheering/heckling because there is no broadcaster. I heard Strasburg looks phenomenal.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 04:20 AM) Serbia with a huge win vs the USA in water polo. Pretty low scoring, but a foot in the right direction and they have easier matches coming up vs China and Italy. LOL, this Horton guy is ridiculously corny. What an attention whore. I hate Horton....besides for the USA softball team, he's the only American I won't cheer for.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 05:24 AM) Santo's not the only one on my list that fits that description, hence my final remark. I was just making a tasteless joke.
