What a terrible pitch. Good thing we didn't try for that insurance run.

Jenks needs to get some life on that fastball NOW!

Yikes...Jenks has nothing on his fastball. If he keeps throwing it low, we're going to lose.

We were in a situation where we put Stewart up to the plate for AJP, and when they bring a righty in, we get our best ph, Gload, into the game.

No urgency by Ozzie to get an extra run there. I thought we added another catcher to have some flexibility late in the game?

Shouldn't we ph for AJP here?

I like that AB by Thome.

QUOTE(shoota @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 01:41 AM) I'm impressed you remember my anti-Christine O'Reilly thread. I'm still think it's bogus that she has a World Series ring and I don't. To be honest, that was only the 2nd best thread of that week. That was the week that someone was arguing Anderson should get MVP votes in the AL, because his defense was as good as Ortiz's hitting. QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 01:42 AM) What's up with Ozzie actually using our good relievers? Garland was pitching, so he actually had a leash on his starter.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 01:40 AM) Why do I just see a ball going over the monster, like way over.... Just got a feelin... Stop being so damn pessimistic.

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 01:38 AM) Uh-oh. What did I miss here? He called Hawk's son an asshole. Shoota's dream cage match: Hawk Harrelson's son vs Christine O'Reilly QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 01:39 AM) So the matchup is Mac vs. Nixon or Wily Mo vs. Thorton. Ozzie goes with the latter. I'd rather keep Mac in, he's got some great movement and has thrown less than 20 pitches (I think), but it's a tough call. Well, if Wily Mo does hit a homer, it might go 600 feet.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 01:38 AM) Another solid job by MacD boy, looking at Hawks son, i would check the milkmen and mailmen in my neighborhood He doesn't have his daddy's nose, that's for sure.

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 01:37 AM) Also goes by the name of Hawk's son. Add another person to shoota's hit list.

GREAT PLAY!

I like MacDougal, but that was a rather predictable walk. This ump isn't doing our pitchers any favor.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 01:33 AM) CHARLIE HAEGER TIME!!!! Are you serious? If so, I say: what the hell!

I still find it hard to believe we didn't have a spot for Lopez coming out of ST. At least it seems like he can keep lefties off-balance at the plate.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 01:25 AM) OK we pull everything, we get it. I only commented on that because it seems like we've had an insane amount of hard hit liners into the crowd down the 3rd base line lately.

Swinging at ball 3...another productive game for the catalyst.

Our hitters would capitalize on hanging pitches a lot better if they didn't have the pull mode approach. This way, they'd be able to keep the hard hit balls fair.

MacDougal worries me (shocker, I know) against patient teams. Seeing him pitch a lot, I now know why we never did very well against him.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 01:13 AM) Now the bad thing about this. Ozzie will use this bad game to promote more Mack in center. Maybe, just maybe, it will be Sweeney.

That Little Leaguer is back swinging for Anderson again.

If Crede wasn't in full pull mode, he would have a lot of success this AB. But I'll take the blooper! Thanks Tito for awful managing.

Great play by Youkilis there....could be a game saver.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Sep 5, 2006 -> 01:01 AM) Two terrible managers. What is Tavarez doing in the seventh inning of this game? Is anyone warming? Now this I will agree with. You could tell during that Dye AB that he lost all the sink to his pitches. BTW, what's Papelbon's status for this series?
