Carrasco is a finesse pitcher. German is a power pitcher with a fastball/splitter combo. I haven't see him pitch lately, but I would guess his fastball is in the 93-94 mph range. He's the type of pitcher that you better have someone else in the pen getting loose as soon as he steps on the mound.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 03:45 AM) I did the double fist pump from my chair. That was worth staying up for. What a finish and to absolutely blow away the world-record like that is amazing! My wife was a swimmer in high school (not very well, may I add). Anyways, this is her World Series, and she was in tears after the USA won.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 04:02 AM) that's the problem, there really is no real talent in the minors right now Which means Beckham better be signed this week!

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 11, 2008 -> 12:14 AM) Tough crowd as usual. Crede's numbers in a season when he's coming back from serious back surgery 255 .323 .474 .797 . He has 17 homers and 54 RBIs. He was on the all-star team. But he's a pop up machine. I get it. It's nice not having an error out of the 3rd base position as frequently as we did with Crede in the field.

Nice surprise coming home to see this!

Great win!

Be careful with the first pitch fastball here.

Everett's such an offensive specialist.

Awesome job by Dotel today!!

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 09:41 PM) I was thinking the same thing. Powerful set of lungs. I'm going to assume she's 18, and say that she has quite the rack.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 09:36 PM) that was the best call ever by hawk GROUND BALL, ......... TURN IT LOOSE ALEXEI.. YES! My brother had a funny comment, in retrospect....could you imagine Hawk's voice if Alexei launched that into the 1st base stands?

BTW, how old is that girl who was singing? She does the National Anthem often, and I have a comment to make, but want to make sure she's 18.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 09:34 PM) nice left handed relief out of the pen the last two days. But hey Kenny, we got junior, so it's all good. Unless you wanted to give up a fortune for Ohman or Sherrill, I don't blame KW for not going after a lefty reliever.

Big double play!!!

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 09:33 PM) That last pitch looked like it got the plate inside. Aj reaching back to get it didn't help. Those other pitches were outside, but that 3-2 looked like a strike.

That was a freaking strike. What a mess this team is.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 09:22 PM) Masterson going through this lineupe like hot knife thru butter....Id like to see him come out soon. Why isn't he starting for them?

Good job by Thornton. It would be nice to get a few more runs, but Masterson seems to have some filthy stuff.

Stop the freaking ball AJ! 6-5 now, as this has been a miserable defensive inning.

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 09:12 PM) There's nothing wrong with letting Floyd in to pitch. A pitcher's job is to pitch deep into ballgames. And Ozzie having some faith in his starter is not "terrible managing." You're defending Gavin??!!! Good for you Greg

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 09:12 PM) Than Francona counters with Youkilis. I would of rather seen Casey up, even if he did single. He's out today

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 09:09 PM) Hawk says the same, but excuses the lackluster effort by OC with the man on 3rd. Lackluster should be OC's nickname.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 09:06 PM) I love Sox fans sometimes. They have been spoiled by the HR all these years. HR=bad. Smallball=Good. THIS TEAM LEADS THE LEAGUE IN HOME RUNS. WHY ARE WE GIVING UP OUTS IN THE 5TH INNING??? I think Hawk's stupidity sets the tone.

So we have Thornton warming up....why in the hell did Ozzie leave Gavin in to face Casey? Terrible managing continues

Way to not field your position Gavin. Our bad outfield costs us a run.
