I don't even think Hawk realizes Radke's out of the game.

QUOTE(greg775 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 01:15 AM) Nice to have a base coach ruin the momentum of an ass kicking start. If we lose ... it's all on Joey. You hate to blame coaches for things, so you must really feel strong about this.

QUOTE(Chopper2Hopper @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 01:16 AM) Do the Sox ever even pitch out? I never see it. GIDP!!!!!!!!! Ozzie said it's not his job to call pitch outs.

HUGE DP! The best turn I've seen by those guys in a long time.

AJP saves Mackowiak from another terrible defensive play. I'd like to thank Cora for taking away all of our momentum.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 01:12 AM) Hmmm, that's early even for him. Absolutely no chance to stop that. If the radar is correct, his velocity is way down tonight also. He doesn't have any pop on his fastball.

Vazquez doesn't look comfortable this inning.

Ugh...you don't like to see Vazquez hit the 9th hitter.

Jenks wife looks like the grown-up version of the cousin from National Lampoon Vacation.

QUOTE(Chopper2Hopper @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 01:07 AM) Pods had a sac fly right there. Is there any possible way we could find out just how many of our runners have been thrown out at home this year? It has to be somewhere in the realm of 200. It's astonishing the difference between guys we get thrown out vs guys we throw out.

I just want to know what Cora is thinking? Tyner has a lot of assists recently, as he has an accurate arm and does a great job of releasing the ball quickly. With one out and a non-strike out pitcher on the mound, that's simply an awful decision by Cora. I don't even think that Gload was running at the crack of the bat, as he had to make sure it wasn't caught.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 01:06 AM) Just when everything is going right, somebody f***s up I so wish we could get rid of the guys responsible for the last two outs of that inning.

What in the hell is Cora doing? With one out, that's inexcusable. I HATE YOU JOEY CORA!

Very nice bunt. Mackowiak has got to get him in here.

QUOTE(beautox @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 01:02 AM) Man Joe Crede is Awesome. It's gotten to the point where the Sox HAVE to re-sign him to a long-term deal. DJ making a great point about how Crede's swing is not as robotic as it was when he first came up. I'm seeing the same growth from Brian Anderson.

Way to hold them down!

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 12:56 AM) Fixed that for you. The funny thing is that I said that before I knew Morneau has some massive slugging numbers vs Vazquez in his career.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 12:55 AM) K, let's bring in BA for defense. You're sounding like me now. Whenever we get the lead for Garcia early in the game, I'm hoping we bring in the bullpen in the 1st inning.

QUOTE(Chopper2Hopper @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 12:54 AM) Boy if Javy gives this lead right back here in the 2nd, I'm going to scream and possibly break something I'll later regret. Vazquez vs Morneau does have the potential for a concourse shot.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 12:53 AM) AJ looks like he could use a couple of days off. Too bad we don't have a competent backup. Can Brian Anderson catch?

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 12:52 AM) No, if for no other reason than the fact that it's impossible for me to imagine that some of these guys in the starting 5 won't revert towards their career numbers. Each and every one of them is having a worse year than what they should be having, and in baseball, usually that evens out at some point. If we're able to increase the payroll to like 110 million next year, I'm real excited about some of the possibilities.

Great start!!! You can never hit them out far enough with Hunter out there. Just as I blame our pitchers for dumb pitch selection, there's no way he should have thrown PK an outside fastball there. PK has been struggling with the changeup for a few weeks now.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 12:47 AM) We definitely need a new 1-2 punch next year..... Iguchi just seems to be lacking focus at the plate now. He's been very streaky from game to game this season, which is symbolized by having a lot of 3 hit games this year.

Another amazing AB from Pods. If he has a terrible night tonight, he might lose his starting position by the time Sunday comes around.

We have to root for no rain in Baltimore this weekend. That way, we won't have to face Kazmir next week.
