How many hanging pitches will we let Clay get away with today?

Good eye by both PK and Swisher. Jeff Cox....do not send Konerko!

There's one!! If the Sox can win this game, getting Pedroia with 2 outs was the boost we needed.

Big out there to keep us in the game.

BTW...perfect example why it was inexcusable to pitch a player who was one bad performance away from being sent to the minors in a 1-1 game in the 7th.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 07:29 PM) What is he saying? They're going on and on about how everything is up in the zone. Hawk was saying he thought Gavin was going to shove it up Boston's rear today, but so far, he just isn't doing what he has to do to get major leaguers out.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 07:29 PM) 3 feet away from being 0-0

Hawk is absolutely pissed off about Gavin's effort so far today. I've never heard him more upset about a player's performance.

Does Carrasco have 5 in him again today?

AJP is 1 for his last 17....please, please get him out of the 2nd spot. You have him struggling in front of CQ, and Dye struggling behind him (3 for last 30).

Gavin's runs per 9 innings (not taking into account unearned runs) is 4.95

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 06:17 PM) It feels like a big cloud came in right about the time Jose went down. Feels nervous out there. Agreed

Keep hanging those curveballs Gavin, the Red Sox can't hit very well.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 05:50 PM) I have a feeling KW would work on getting some cash in the deal if he were to work out something for washburn, JMO Which would only increase the package we'd have to give up. Trading Poreda for Washburn would be so idiotic.

No Griffey Jr. again today. But don't worry, AJP's staying in the 2nd spot!

QUOTE (shipps @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 05:53 PM) Everyone is smiling I want to smile too. I think it's because most of us think we're screwed right now with these injuries.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 05:01 PM) Key words there. He was a batting practice pitcher the last two months. I am not saying Jose pitching well down the stretch was out of the realm of possibility, but it's certainly not something you can plan on if you're a GM and serious about winning a division title. Agreed...it's likely Carrasco will have a better ERA out of the 5 spot than Contreras would have had.

Is it too late to become sellers?

QUOTE (quickman @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 03:22 PM) fathom as I have stated in an earlier thread, there is insurance for this type of thing, his salary will be offset. I would imagine Jose will return around the ASB next year, in which case the insurance would be void.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 06:21 AM) Umm, you just got the impression the Sox weren't very high on Fields in the last 48 hours? If Juan f***ing Uribe is replacing Fields as a starter, that should tell you something. More that it seems like Crede's career could be in jeopardy, and now there's absolutely no chance the Sox will bring him back.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 06:31 AM) The twins bring up Liriano, and we counter with Felix Diaz. At least Diaz's numbers were worthy of a call-up. Broadway's numbers are worthy of a demotion.

Rumor is that Broadway will start on Thursday. If that's true, then shame on this organization.

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 05:05 AM) Maybe he should've been traded when his value was higher, like Jeremy Reed was. I remember this board when Reed was traded, a lot of people were pissed. But with Crede's agent and back, it's hard to tell what will happen with him. It's amazing what's happened in the last 48 hours with regards to next year. 3rd base and #5 starter are serious holes.

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 10, 2008 -> 02:26 AM) /waits for fathom, wsb or bearsox to bump the 2nd place thread. And deal with the crap I got last Sunday?

So Griffey Jr. missed tonight's game due to general soreness? Are you freaking kidding me!
