QUOTE (Jake @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 11:53 PM) As far as that goes, Quentin's replacement started the rally with a HR. or you know, he could have let Anderson bat for Wise (.275 OPS against LHP) in the 8th, and keep Quentin in the game?

Congrats Sox on likely dropping out of 1st place, you don't deserve s*** with your place this week.

That's just dandy

Great at bat by Fields to draw the walk.

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 10:44 PM) why are they losing it? I wish I knew. The velocity for Linebrink, Dotel, Logan, and Thornton is fine. It just seems like over the past month, they can't throw their sliders/splitters for strikes, and those pitches are getting crushed.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 10:41 PM) His slider and fastball both suck now. When he is good, he throws that tumbler away from lefties and gets K's. It's just disturbing that every bullpen member of the Sox (besides Jenks) has completely lost their offspeed pitch.

The bullpen continues to be great. Another fantastic "slider" by Thornton. I can't believe some people tried to argue he had a good slider the other day.

I really hope Ozzie lets Swisher hit for Fields in the 9th.

QUOTE (WSoxMatt @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 10:35 PM) I had no problem with giving Q the rest of the game off when its 98 out and you were down 5 It's a 5 run game...after the last week, we should know that's not an insurmountable lead.

If that was Swisher, people would be complimenting him for a long AB. Hey Ozzie...at least we have the Charlotte crew up in the 9th!

QUOTE (Winning Ugly @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 10:29 PM) And here comes Soria in the 8th? I bet this is his first 8th inning apearance this season. We Can Do This! Soria has quite a few 2 inning games this year.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 10:32 PM) CQ will save us. I promise. I'll bet you 100 million dollars he doesn't.

QUOTE (WSoxMatt @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 10:28 PM) DAMNIT that looked gone That's two today I thought he hit out.

Wow, that just missed going out!

QUOTE (Winning Ugly @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 10:24 PM) We got nobody left on the bench, so we gotta rely on Fields, Urine, BA and Wise. Ugh! AJP

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 11:20 PM) No sign of Griff in the dugout. No surprise, just an FWI. There was definitely something wrong with his leg today.

That was a bomb

Sexy by Anderson

Wow, Ozzie completely threw in the towel today. Shocking to see in a 5 run game.

QUOTE (joeynach @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 11:06 PM) Once again we are asking the question why is Wasserman on this team. He is without a doubt not a major league pitcher. The same Wassermann who's gone 8 innings without allowing a run?

Cabrera got pulled from the game. I wonder if it was due to not hustling on his groundout.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 10:41 PM) The heat index is 111 degrees. Cramping isn't unusual in those circumstances. Its very easy to dehydrate. He was limping in the outfield prior to the game according to people in attendance.

Nice swings by PK today.

These umpires suck...go get tossed Ozzie.

QUOTE (Gregory Pratt @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 10:39 PM) It's a long season. Relax. 50 games left is a long season?
