BTW, great job by Ozzie pulling Buehrle. I'm proud of you Ozzie.

Wow, Brewers just tied the Cubs on back-to-back homers.

Might as well pull Buehrle now. He went on 3 days rest in his last game, as it's usually the start afterwards where the pitcher tires early.

QUOTE (G&T @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 02:43 AM) Thome K's on a ball at his shoulders. Ump has an expanded zone for Slowey. Make-up call for the pitch earlier in the bat that was strike 3.

Sox hitters are just pressing so much with guys on base.

QUOTE (FranktheTank35 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 02:37 AM) Swisher is having one of the most unlucky seasons, statistically. Or atleast, he was. I assume he still is. Sure doesn't seem like he's been hitting the ball with any authority.

STOP SWINGING AT THE FIRST PITCH WHEN SOMEONE'S ON BASE

It will sure be interesting if the Sox lose the first 3 games of this series. KW wouldn't be able to say at the trade deadline "why make trades for a 1st place team".

QUOTE (earthshiner @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 01:34 AM) And that is a little more than one can say about konerko. PK should not be in the lineup. It's time for him to be benched.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 01:32 AM) Did you see some of the hacks Uribe was taking yesterday? It was awful. Nope, didn't see the game. All I know is he's 7 for his last 15.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 01:31 AM) If you really believe Swisher would have continued his hot streak if he remained at first base, you are crazier than I thought. He's 0 for his last 15 with 6 k's. If Konerko shouldn't be playing, neither should he. Sorry to say, he's been a huge dissappointment. Nick Swisher has been a huge bust. The only thing I've been impressed with by him is his defense at 1st base.

You know what I don't get....why isn't Uribe starting today? The Sox organization always talks about how he can carry a team when hot, and he seems to be hitting pretty good lately. Also, he had success in the past against Slowey, IIRC. Also, why did Ozzie let Javy pitch to Miguel Cabrera with an open base yesterday? Oh well, this team has to play better, end of story.

Justin Morneau is just awesome now. His approach at the plate is stellar.

Is that 6 errors for Ramirez since the ASB?

The defense on this team is just pathetic. Also, I'm so sick of the first pitch outs when we have runners on base.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 02:00 AM) We'd be ahead .5 game right in that scenario? Right? or am I going crazy I agree, I'll take 1 win this series. However, if this team can't show the ability to beat the Twins in Minnesota, we're going to have to find a way to boost this lead in the standings by a great deal.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 12:56 AM) The Buehrle with an ERA near 1.50 since early June? He just gave up another 2 run shot, but he's hardly been anything but awesome before tonight. Every comment I've made in the last 2 weeks about our starters has had the disclaimer that I wasn't referring to Buehrle. But now that he's having a very bad start against the Twins, you worry about this team's decline in quality starts.

Good grief, this sucks. Just some terrible pitches by Buehrle this inning.

Tigers are losing 5-0.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 12:52 AM) Yeah, stick to retarded overreactions. Another great post, thanks!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 12:37 AM) Buehrle has pinpoint command so far. I like our chances if we can keep getting the leadoff man on base. Now I remember why I don't make positive comments too often.

Nice meatball served up by Buehrle. Our pitching staff is just miserable now.

Soriano looks to be on a hot streak again.

Sick play by Casilla...but I guess CQ is going to see 4 pitches this entire game?

OC, for the life of him, can't get the ball on a ground for a hit-and-run attempt.
