Holy s***, get Griffey Jr. off the field! What a joke

This umpire has sucked tonight.

QUOTE (G&T @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 02:10 AM) Oh come on. Uribe was calling for it all the way and was under it...then over ran it. That's a shortstop's ball all the way. OC's decent on pop ups...he's not nearly as bad as Iguchi was. The Sox really should walk Pedroia here.

That Youkilis hit is going to be a focal point for Hawk's whining for the next month. Even though it was a broken bat, it was still a legit base hit.

Very likely that run will score. Show some leadership OC and call off Uribe!

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 03:01 AM) We better have a defensive replacement in CF starting next inning Griff should have 6 innings in CF. If its a one run game, you take him out. He is not providing enough offense right now to state that he should be in CF late in games. Griffey played that ball off the wall fine....but good grief, why does it seem like the Sox wouldn't have been able to score from 1st on that double? Lowell is extremely slow, and he could have scored standing up. We've definitely hit the ball a lot harder than the Red Sox have tonight, but we'll get another inning of Beckett and then Papelboner.

Beckett's been nasty tonight, but we've really helped him out by swinging at everything he throws up to the plate. That swing by Uribe was brutal.

Why was the thread missing?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 01:51 AM) I love John. But he has to stop falling apart late in games. He's young. I'm sure he'll overcome that problem. That Lowell AB killed him. He was aiming the ball, and couldn't get it over the plate. He looked like Johan Santana for the first 6 innings of this game though.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 02:47 AM) this game is over Stop

And f***! You could just sense the momentum shifting after Thome's liner.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 01:42 AM) Well the no-no is history. A single on a flyball to center. Where was Junior to make one of those patented fantastic plays? About 100 feet away

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 02:37 AM) He must be a newbie? well done....time for Danks to preserve this lead into the 9th. That Thome liner seemed like a momentum shifter.

Damn, Thome couldn't have hit that ball any harder.

QUOTE (griffey17 @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 01:33 AM) 9 outs to go for the no-no Thanks, none of us knew that.

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 02:28 AM) I'm stcuk in Texas, what did he say? Just that there's no way Ellsbury is faster than Gomez

Anyone notice the Carlos Gomez mention by Hawk?

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 02:16 AM) wondering - is kanye an avowed sox fan? or anything chicago fan? Supposedly a Sox fan

Danks just threw not one, not two, but three straight change-ups to get Bay.

QUOTE (sox1844 @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 02:00 AM) Me too. I'm OK with Uribe at 3rd, but Linebrink is a huge loss. Absolutely...it's not even close.

QUOTE (Karko's Throat Skin @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 01:57 AM) Whats the latest on Crede's back and Liney's arm??? How much longer without them? I'd be pleasantly surprised if both are back this season.

QUOTE (Karko's Throat Skin @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 01:52 AM) 1-0 Sox....with the way Danks is pitching, it might be enough One of my biggest pet peeves with Hawk has been when he goes "hey Mark, there's your run". Usually, the Sox pitcher gives up 3 runs in the next inning. I don't believe he said that tonight.

BTW, I'll give Ozzie credit by not calling for the bunt from OC.

QUOTE (sox1844 @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 01:52 AM) I think its worth mentioning that Cabrera isn't a leadoff hitter. I don't think he's ever led off in his career. From what I understand, hitters hate leading off, no one wants to do it. Alfonso Soriano says hola

Great approach by AJP!! Could have done without the stretch on a fly ball that was 20 feet short from being a homer.
