QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 03:11 AM) DJ with a nice catch. He should still be playing LF.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 03:05 AM) if you guys are wrong and we somehow win this game will you please STFU forever I'm sick of everyone rushing to the front to proclaim "the end is near!" EVERY SINGLE f***ING GAME Who has said the end is near? Only jimbo so far, if my memory is correct.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 03:03 AM) This could be like the absolute worse case scenario tonight. It looked like we could close to within 2 games of Detroit and 1/2 of Minnesota, now we may be 4 games out of Detroit and 2 1/2 out of Minnesota. With Johan going once every 5 days, we can't afford to fall more than 3 games behind the Twins. We never catch them in the standings late in the year.

I think we've only scored runs in like 2 of our last 27 innings.

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 03:02 AM) You would dare unleash that unto this world? He was good luck last night. Needless to say, desperate times call for desperate measures.

We need the rally jphat

Way to pull that high, outside fastball PK. I haven't seen that result 100 times in the last month. You've been swinging well lately....why in the world would you change your hand position on the bat?

PK's changed his batting stance....again. He has his hands closer up than usually.

Great swing by Thome. I can't recall the last time he did that.

One of those 4 K games for Dye underway. These guys better start protecting the outside part of the plate. This looks like the game Santana pitched against the Sox in Anaheim last year.

QUOTE(DABearSoX @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:54 AM) His D has been lackluster this year It's been lazier than it's been in previous years.

QUOTE(jenksd @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:53 AM) If everyone wants Anderson in for his D, why doesn't everyone want Uribe in? Cintron is a much more suitable back-up than Mackowiak.

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:49 AM) theres a lot of days when I think the soxtalk pages are too pesimistic, but if we get shutdown tonight after the tigers and twins win, its gonna feel like a morgue around here... ... and with good cause. This is the time of the year where you look back at games we've lost that we really shouldn't have (getting shutout by Boston's lefty rookie, Uribe failing to turn the DP against the Cubs, the inability to complete the sweep against bad teams), and it frustrates you that we're in this position.

You can feel the intensity with the team tonight.

Hopefully Pods with K looking later tonight, so he'll keep up his 55 game streak of a grounder to first base and a K looking in every game he plays.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:46 AM) Time is running out for the Sox. They better get hot and stay hot or they'll be sitting at home in October. We're not going to be able to afford many games where we lose, and they win.

Cintron really should play more games against pitchers with good sliders.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:45 AM) The cure for all things that ill the As will be a pull only offense that is trying to go yard in one of the largest pitchers parks in baseball. At least we have our 3 best pitchers going at Oakland.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:43 AM) Why keep Joe Kennedy in that long?s Do the A's have much to play for now? I thought they were up a few more games on the Angels. What a terrible managing job.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:42 AM) If Ozzie has its way it will be Owens. He has to have his worthless noodle armed no hitting guy, who has one talent and that is speed Because it fits the Marlins offense formula he loves. I think it will be Pierre.

Thanks Oakland. Not shaping up to be a good night.

Anyone else believe we're going to see a new CF next year?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:38 AM) Yes, Miracle homerun, if you have tivo, go ahead and rewind. Only Vlad hits those pitches with consistency. Juan Rivera is a notorious low ball hitter. Thankfully he hit that low slider into a DP in the 9th last inning.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:36 AM) Will the Sox score more that two runs tonight? I think they will....but Buehrle isn't done giving up homers.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:36 AM) In the first inning? You are pitching around a guy with nobody on. Last time I checked, Matt Stairs wasn't up.
