QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 07:36 PM) Jesus, did any of you play fundemental baseball, you run in that situation all day long (especially since BA has good speed). I absolutely understand why you try to steal in that situation. However, it's disappointing that Anderson wasn't able to get a better jump in that situation where the pitcher is focusing on the hitter with a 2 strike count.

One of these days, MLB is going to shorten our bases from 100 feet to 90 feet.

STOP MAKING OUTS ON THE BASES!

I'm confident Garland can go 7 innings tomorrow. We have 3 relievers in McCarthy, Cotts, and Riske that can go 2 innings if we need them to. If Garcia gets in trouble in the 5th inning, I hope Ozzie isn't afraid to pull him.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 07:27 PM) No, winning today will be harder if we turned things to the pen NOW. We don't have a guy that can just go out and throw 3 or 4 innings since Ozzie doesn't seem to use Bmac in that way and well thats life, we can't just magically change things. It would be absolutely assinine to go to the pen right now, after using it yesterday. We can't just destroy our pen consistently using 4 or 5 guys a game. IN the post-season you can chance that cause of the off-days, you can't do it when you have the stretch of consecutive games that this team has right now. We have a bullpen that should have everyone available besides MacDougal. This is one of the biggest games for the Sox all season, as it would rejuvenate them in regards to the AL Central.

Has anyone ever seen a ball get stuck behind the billboard like that?

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 07:25 PM) The code of conduct asks not to make posts about players like this. Seriously. Wishing for one of our guys to get hurt? Get a grip. You're right, I should have stuck with asking for him to get placed on the DL due to shoulder stiffness. I'm sorry, and I'll delete the post.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 07:24 PM) No, do not use the pen now. That would be dumb, we can't win games throwing our pen in the 4th inning. We just used the pen yesterday so you can't just sit out and throw a 4 inning game with the pen in the regular season on any consistent basis if you watn to play winning baseball. Freddy is gonna suck but we need him to throw a few more innings. I think winning today is more important than having a fresh bullpen for tomorrow. We could use McCarthy and Cotts in long relief today.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 07:23 PM) We just have to hope the other 4 guys stand up and carry this team cause Freddy is long gone at the end of the season. Hawk and DJ are trashing him every start, you have the Sox trying to move him last year, its just a matter of time. I have more hopes that they'll DL him due to shoulder stiffness.

Ozzie...please get someone up in the pen. Your family member is the worst pitcher on the entire roster.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 07:21 PM) There is no word to describe how bad Freddy is. Yes there is...a washed-up juicer.

I hate you Freddy Garcia.

Please get him out of the game.

Some more great base running.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 07:14 PM) Man that play by Guillen was awesome. He just tears us up. He's accounted for at least a 3 run differential so far.

Nice stop by PK. Our best chance to win this game is if Garcia twists his ankle walking back to the dugout.

Freddy doesn't even have his good changeup today.

Thanks for nothing Freddy.

Time to make a good pitch to Guillen here and get him out. I have no clue why AJP keeps setting up for inside fastballs. QUOTE(PA32R @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 07:03 PM) I just got here, no TV - how's Freddy's velocity? Bad

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 13, 2006 -> 06:56 PM) I have no idea how Mags caught Podsednik's ball in the first inning and couldn't get to that. What in the world is that wind doing. He was always better going to his side on a fly ball than he was going back on a ball. He's the opposite of Dye.

Time to shut them down Freddy.

CINTRON! I'm sure I'm not the only one who was worried Ordonez would catch that.

Gotta protect here, as this ump might expand his zone.

Huge AB in this game for Cintron. Be patient, as you'll get a good pitch to hit.

That pitch was right down the plate.
