Hit the ball to LF tonight!

QUOTE (lord chas @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 01:52 AM) way out kermit screaming at the top of his lungs I've gone out of my way to not watch Cubs games lately.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 01:48 AM) That HR really pissed me off, but we have stolen a few victories too this year, which made it a little less worse. Carrie Wood still has to get three outs. I've said it before, there is no team in the NL that can match their offense/pitching combination, let's just hope they aren't clicking in October. Was the homer far?

Remember when the Cubs were bad on the road? 9 straight if they close this out.

Wow, a huge error by Buscher to allow Mariners to tie it. This is my first time seeing Liriano since he returned, and I'm very unimpressed.

It took one batter for the Twins to put their game away tonight. Sox need to win tonight to keep the division lead.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Aug 15, 2008 -> 04:02 AM) Next 3 games Against Seattle Silva vs Liriano Rowland-Smith vs Baker Feierabend vs Perkins I think the M's take 2, pretty bold with the two youngsters going for Seattle, but hopefully they can do it. Those match-ups look like a sure Twins sweep.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 08:53 PM) I like what Oz did there. Lance answered the call today, and left on a high note. I like it. I'll be the first to admit I was wrong about Lance's performance today. Great job Broadway.

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?
