QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 01:07 AM) Is it just me or does Richard just throw the SAME pitch everytime? Yeah, he's pretty brutal. Every pitch is from the same arm angle. His offspeed pitchers are disgustingly mediocre.

Holy s*** OC, that was filthy.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 1, 2008 -> 11:50 PM) Our strategy against pitchers at times is horses***. We get a rookie making his major league debut and he is wild. So what is our strategy, swing early in the count. Now we have a guy who pours strikes, with a lot of fastballs early in the count. And what do we do, we take 2. This is dumb. In reality, the Sox should pound Lee. He throws high 91 mph fastballs for the most part. So far tonight, the Sox have taken about 5 get me over fastballs that were right there to be crushed. Of course, it would be nice if we'd stop playing Swisher and Crede against LHP.

Any chance it can rain?

Clayton is such a mental midget out there.

QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Sep 1, 2008 -> 11:45 PM) 40 pitches for Lee through 2.2 He's one pitcher you have to say screw the pitch count when you face him. As Hawk is saying, our approach is all wrong against him. You have to be aggressive and hit those pitches that he throws to get ahead in the count.

Yay, another weak fly out by Crede to the right side.

Good grief, this defense has no range. If it's going to be a long night, I might have to start watching Prison Break at 7pm

That change-up by Richard = not good

Swisher now 1 for his last 24?

Nice catch by Dye...he could have busted his gut on that play.

QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 12:10 AM) He never had any chance. That is true, but he was going the wrong way anyways. I was actually surprised to hear Hawk criticize OC for getting a bad jump on AJP's single. All I know is this ump has a very weird strike zone.

OC, where you going? Ominous start to the game.

After two terrific at bats, CQ follows them up with a poor AB. He's really swinging too hard at the plate.

Saw elsewhere that MacDougal, Wassermann, and Owens got promoted as well.

Paul Phillips got called up.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 09:27 PM) Ugh, please think before you post. That comment is sig worthy. Far and away the biggest compliment given to Todd Jones this season.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 09:23 PM) If he gets the save here that will be 16 out of 114 career saves (quick count through game log) That's hardly "classic." See Todd Jones for that. I'll say it now...Jenks ability to avoid the homer in save situations is absolutely amazing.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 09:22 PM) basehit ties the game, hilarious Thanks for making me think this is what actually happened. Great win by our new stopper!

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 08:20 PM) Toby Hall is just horrible at the plat and not much of an arm on D,if we are gonna sacrifice offense with Hall,shouldn t he be able to throw people out?are there no catchers who fit that bill? Why didn't we have AJP hit for him in the top of the 9th, and then just stay in the game?

Times like this you wish Jenks still had that strike out ability.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 09:18 PM) fortunately this is shaping up to look like the classic runs-allowed-but-save from Jenks. Trying for the jinx, are we?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 31, 2008 -> 08:15 PM) Nice. Apparently the shadows don't help our pitchers. You absolutely can't walk Alex Cora to leadoff an inning like that, especially with the heart of their order lurking.
