I command you to homer Thome.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 02:10 AM) Whew!! For about 5 minutes yesterday, I was thinking that our offense had finally awoken from its hibernation slumber. Good thing tonight, they are reassuring me that it was just a momentary lapse in judgement. I really think Ozzie and Walker might have a fistfight after this game.

We need this offense to get something going sooner rather than later. KC has some strong late inning relievers, and this crowd is completely out of it.

Excellent play by Ramirez overshadowed by another hanger by Danks. If he can give us 6 innings, and 3 runs, he will have had a good game with the stuff he has tonight.

Danks throwing a lot of balls tonight.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 12:58 AM) his bat is a helluva lot faster now than it was then. wonder how that happened. Cooper fixed him?

Pretty sad offensive effort after 3 innings. Only OC has tried to go the other way.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 01:54 AM) Alexei had that one stolen IMO. I don't get why we don't do a hit-and-run in that situation every single time.

Good eye by Crede...gotta cash in on leadoff walks.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 12:46 AM) Who did he typically have batting in front of him those years? In 06, Pods and Iguchi. In 07, some combination of Pods, Iguchi, Erstad, and Fields. Meaning?

QUOTE (quickman @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 12:42 AM) this is one of those games where we wont be able to manufacture a run and will wait for a home run. Damn sad, but tis is how the year has gone, good thing detriot really sucks. I watched them today and they are terrible. You want proof Thome is pulling the ball too much. In his first two years with the Sox, he hit into 14 double plays total. This year, he's already at 8.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 12:37 AM) Wow, I couldnt have been more wrong, I dont understand this move at all. Lance is better than Loaiza at this point. Stupid, Masset was perfect as the long man. I honestly think people on this site will be shocked when they see Loaiza pitch. Too many people are thinking he still has the ability he showed 5 years ago.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 12:38 AM) You do see it coming right? Sox trash Greinke last night and will follow it up by getting shutdown by this scrub pitcher. They already have that look. Hawk is a few hitters away from starting Cy Hochevar talk.

Against righties that are good against righty hitters, this is where it really hurts the Sox that 2/3 of our lefty hitters suck this season.

Keep pulling that sinking fastball Thome...we haven't seen enough weak grounders this season.

Nice double play turn...let's get that run back. Come on Suck Patrol!

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 12:30 AM) Olivo over Gordon and Teahen? Against a lefty...big time

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 12:23 AM) Wait, what? What happened to Carlos? Better be careful, people not watching might think he got hurt.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 01:26 AM) That was hit a bit. Olivo's far and away their most dangerous hitter. Danks better start throwing his offspeed pitch for strikes. So far, he's falling off the mound a lot.

Nice play by Crede, and Danks pitches over the leadoff double.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 12:51 AM) Yeah he was saying that he is doing his job and thats all he is focused on and when they asked him if he and Ozzie talked about it he said "I am working and thats all I am doing" It was all in his tone that you could tell he is big time pissed. Jessie Rogers said today that their relationship has been awful since Sunday, and that there's a ton of tension surrounding them. Ozzie also stated that Baines and Cora are his two closest friends on the team.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 11:48 PM) Not that it really matters, at least IMO, but has there been anything out thee linking Smoak to the Sox, like scouting? Just the SEC tournament, but I have it on good authority we were there to see Beckham

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 12:02 AM) f*** YEAH! This means the odds of Crow being there at 8 increased a ton! I have a bad feeling we'll pass on Crow.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 10:28 PM) My old man just called and said Levine was just on ESPN 1000. He said part of the reason for all this was to protect Mark. Levine claims Buehrle has had a shoulder problem since ST, and he can't start on 5 days anymore, but needs a week. Now I don't know how much of this is factual(if Levine is correct, I know he said it), but I suppose we will find out pretty soon. So Loaiza's going to be starting now? Hopefully Levine was stating hypotheticals, becase Loaiza would be a huge step backwards for the rotation.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 08:00 PM) The guy is very talented. Out of Tennessee if I recall correctly. He hasn't put it all together yet though and has definitely been susceptible to the long ball (based on the couple games I saw of him earlier in the season). Last time I saw highlights of him, he had a very good change-up.
