Awesome time to get called into a meeting when it's the bottom of the 9th.

Either has to get that fastball over Kemp's head, or throw the slider in the dirt.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 10:25 PM) He was 100% correct, and I loved it. He basically called out more than half of this board. I just hate when you (Cooper) say stuff like "we're in first place, back off".

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 10:22 PM) Umpiring has been atrocious all across baseball this year. That wasn't even close. What happened to get him tossed? I think Coop is PMSing though, as he was an ass on the Score earlier today.

QUOTE (kane0730 @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 09:19 PM) I like bringing in Thorton here. Bad start...if I recall, he seemed to throw quite a few pitches last night.

Crede with one of the worst games I've seen in a while.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 10:16 PM) They might not have a choice. Is he on pace to reach his option requirement?

Swisher stinks...BTW, I think it was Brian Hanley who said this morning that there's no chance the Sox bring Thome back next season.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 09:34 PM) I see no possible way LBJ leaves Cleveland. I disagree 100 pct with this.

Twins came back to tie it. Of course, their inning started with Baker getting a hit.

Can't be walking guys with 2 outs and no one on. That's the type of stuff that gets Danks pulled after 6 innings.

Walker might want to tell Crede to shorten his swing up. It's been so long for a while, but he'll hit the occasional homer, so I guess all is well in his mind.

Crede with a worthless game going so far. This team gets so f***ing tight at the plate with RISP. What's that, like 12 base runners in 5 innings, and only 2 runs.

Tigers win on a bases loaded walk. I think Sheffield used the time on the DL to find his "Clear" distributor.

What happened on Berroa's fielder choice?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 08:18 PM) It wasn't a squeeze. Danks was doing exactly what you wanted Ozzie to be calling, he just hit it basically off homeplate, and it was a double play. Ram had no where to go. I meant on the Hall single. If Danks hit into a bunt DP the way it sounds, that's not Ozzie's fault at all. Time for Sox to keep the momentum.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 08:12 PM) Farmer thinks bad call by Cox not sending him Hall needs more at-bats Butcher Boy. Could Ramirez have scored?

Can someone explain what happened with the Danks AB?

Tigers won....Sheffield looks fantastic at the plate. Just a horrible day of baseball.

The Swisher trade was a right size, wrong shape transaction. It was a brilliant move by KW to get rid of 3 top prospects that the organization has huge questions about. However, it's just too bad those resources went for Swisher and not someone who would be more productive at this point of the season.

Tigers keep coming back tonight, as their game is tied at 7 in the 8th inning. A healthy Sheffield makes their lineup just scary as hell.

Anyone have a list of starting pitchers who have shut us out this season (or at least started the game)?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 04:28 AM) Are you kidding me? Amen

2nd time in two games that the game was theoretically over after the 3rd batter of the game for the opposition.

Let Thome bat...guaranteed homer. Considering how some of the guys like Stults and Burress have dominated us this season, it would be scary to see what Johan would do to this lineup.
