Swing like you mean it Mr. Anderson. He looks absolutely pathetic right now.

Wow....that was too close. Ozuna almost missed that.

McCarthy coming in.....it seems like it's been a while since he had a good outing.

Uribe and Thome are the two guys that should be looking for first pitch fastball from C.C. Their game plan today seems to be to take the strikes over the plate, and swing at balls.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 08:09 PM) Pinch hitting for Uribe sure seems appropriate. No, he's been swinging well lately.

Oh boy...McCarthy's up in the pen.

We're trying our best to make sure C.C. can go 9 innings today. Horses*** approach by the Sox today.

You get the feeling we're going to need another homer to win this game.

Hawk probably thinks he's so clever by repeating Johan Cytana.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 07:52 PM) He's got the meatball pitch down this inning. And made a good pitch on the 3-2.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 07:51 PM) Nibble nibble nibble. He's got the meatball pitch down this inning.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 07:51 PM) Thome has been virtually unclutch since the all star break. Just another after the all star break trend. He's fit in perfectly with the corpseball era. It's kinda ironic how great Thomas is doing now with the A's.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 07:49 PM) Nice clutch hitting, Thome. I would have rather seen Sandy up in that AB.

We need to find a way to get the momentum back in this game.

Hey Ozzie...next time we face C.C., DON'T PLAY THOME!

They'd be nuts to throw Thome a fastball here. He has no chance on the slider.

Thome is absolutely worthless against LHP for quite a while now.

Ok Thome...prove this statement wrong: you're the last person I want up against C.C. in this situation.

QUOTE(tony72 @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 07:40 PM) I was just about to type that he has been good lately..but then I just saw him swing at that pitch for strike three He's been real bad lately. Be an MVP, Jeremaine.

Yay, another bunt out!!

Little League Anderson at the dish. He's had some disappointing games lately.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 07:33 PM) Fathom who knows what was originally called, Javy shakes off AJ more than any of our pitchers. He shook off 3 signs before he threw that slider. I didn't see that...thanks for the observation.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 07:32 PM) okay, good pitch there. One more Javy. Why doesn't Javy use his changeup more often? Why use it when your curveball sucks a lot and the opposition does most of its damage against that pitch?

QUOTE(tony72 @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 07:30 PM) I say leave him in..let him work through this...but this is ridiculous every time he pitches - like Groundhog Day... It really is astonishing, isn't it? I've never seen anything like it.

QUOTE(G&T @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) Worst thing is that C.C. has been in control, while the pen for the Sox has been inconsistent. C.C. has only thrown 63 pitches, as our offense has mailed it in after the first two batters. QUOTE(G&T @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 07:31 PM) It's not selection, it's execution. It's the same pitches, he's just hanging them. A 3-2 slider to the #9 hitter with Sizemore on deck is just stupid, especially as they hadn't proven they could hit his fastball so far today.
