fathom

Um, why in the hell is Uribe playing so deep there? I wonder if he had a play on Ortiz at home?

At least it wasn't a homer, but still a play Wise could have made with a better jump.

AJP had 4 pitches to hit an easy sac fly on that at bat. I told my brother that if we didn't get that 2nd run in, Ortiz would tie it in the 6th on one swing.

Great to get a run...it would also be great to get AJP out of the 2nd spot.

Operation Walk with Nick Swisher....don't swing!

Holy s*** Thome, take the piano off your back.

It seems like forever since Dye got a base hit. He's still in pull mode.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 12:18 AM) Am I in the minority when I want Danks signed more so than Beckham? I mean I want both signed, but if we get Danks signed, we get a 1-2 round talent in the 7th round. But if he doesn't sign, we get nothing. However, if Gordon doesn't sign, we still get the 8th pick next year. I would say yes, you might be the only one.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 01:13 AM) KW has got to be something drastic, this is why he is a good GM. I'd rather he just give Poreda a shot. If he does anything drastic, that means Poreda will be traded.

Nothing like playing for one run in the 3rd inning. Does Ozzie really think we're going to win this game 1-0 with our bullpen logging 8 innings?

Please get AJP out of the f***ing 2nd spot!

Nice bunt OC (why do you bunt on a 2-0 pitch when he's not close to throwing strikes)...not good news about Contreras.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 11:56 PM) Rotoworld already suggesting Broadway or Egbert. It needs to be Poreda. Broadway is just brutal, and it's hard to justify Egbert over Poreda.

Carrasco made some excellent pitches there!

Carrasco's pitches are just floating up to the plate. This is going to be a long night (in terms of length of game).

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 11:50 PM) Did you guys know Alexei is the best pure baseball player on the Sox? No one else makes in-bat adjustments on our team like him. No excuse for him to not be batting 2nd.

We can't be playing station-to-station baseball (need more hit-and-runs) against a pitcher who doesn't give up many hits and only has allowed 8 homers on the season.

QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 11:45 PM) I think it was way to early to say Jose had his April stuff. He got out of first inning on 22 pitches and it didn't seem he was getting better as the game went on. I wasn't excited about him bouncing in 91 mph fastballs to Lowrie and Ellsbury. I guess we'll never know.

Twins up 2-0

I agree, it has to be Poreda time.

I'd actually rather see Boone come in.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Aug 9, 2008 -> 11:37 PM) Jesus, that's the most emotion I've ever seen out of Jose. Exactly what I was thinking, which makes you think it's bad.

That's the last we've seen of Contreras this season.

And Contreras is down after not covering 1st base.
