Thornton doing Johnson a favor by throwing his weak slider.

Wow...that first pitch was right down the plate.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:10 PM) yeah i know that, but this sixth inning was NOT a failure. thats what you dont understand Ok...I'll replaced "failed" with "doesn't do well".

Vazquez is at 98 pitches, but he's been up in the zone the past two innings. Ozzie will probably let him start the inning, but I hope MacDougal and Thornton are ready this inning.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:08 PM) thats ridiculous The stats don't lie. He fails almost every time he pitches in the 6th inning.

Nice AB PK

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:07 PM) Seriously, did you even look at the replays of Frank's swing there? He barely got that pitch, and he just muscled it out. Yes, I saw it. He was fooled by the pitch call, but it was still a meatball enough of a pitch for him to get out with not much behind the swing. Am I the only one that saw a hanging curveball?

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:04 PM) Lol even the announcers were like we have no clue how he hit that one out with that swing... some times you guys need to learn to give credit to the hitters. Especially future HoF's. Vazquez hasn't seen an offspeed pitch he won't hang in the 6th inning.

Cotts is warming up? What in the hell is going on in our dugout?

Good grief, get this headcase out of the game!!!!!!

Jim Thome....that's how you pick your team up. QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 10:02 PM) Ok...that one wasn't a ton Vazquez's fault...that one is all Frank Thomas. It was still a hanger. I don't like how Sandy called for Javy's worst pitch against their most dangerous hitter.

CAN WE PLEASE START PULLING JAVY VAZQUEZ AFTER THE 5TH INNING!!!!!!!

Vazquez and the 6th inning. What a mental midget.

Bradley is a huge batter in this game.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 09:54 PM) He needs to have a great winter. Rest up, get healthy. That will be the best thing for him. It might not be the worst idea for next year to give Thome 1, 2 days off a week. Keep him fresh for the whole season. I would love for the Sox to get a righty bat for the bench who they can play against the tough lefties like C.C., Santana, etc. (even though Thome's done well vs Santana this year).

I hope Ozzie gets up Thornton or MacDougal in the pen.

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Sep 16, 2006 -> 09:52 PM) anyone else worried that thome might be mediocre next year? I'm not sure if he'll be mediocre....but I think he's going to have to be very lucky to match his numbers from this year.

6th inning....buckle down Vazquez.

Remember when Thome used to hit the ball hard?

Pathetic....why do we keep playing him against lefties?

Time to shut up some of your critics Thome.

Sandy!!! Great job by the much maligned 7-8-9!

Nice rocket off of the bat of Anderson. Watch Ozzie try the squeeze here.

Uribe stayed back nicely on that curve.

Don't forget Mackowiak is going to be making nearly 3 million next year.
