DON'T SPEED UP HIS BAT!

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 04:38 AM) ARod v Thorton.... this match up scares me. He has to get that fastball up.

Holy cow...where was that first pitch to ARod?

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 04:35 AM) or... you know... if he's not an option tonight for Torre, thats a victory Proctor coming in that inning makes me think that he's available.

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 04:34 AM) It's amazing how BMac can do no wrong, even when he does wrong. His ERA is over 4 and pretty much everyone still acts like the sun shines out of his arse. He certainly hasn't pitched like an ace-to-be this season. There's lots of trouble in the rotation, but BMac doesn't fill me with confidence that he'd fix it. He did a great job getting out of the 6th inning, but he got far too much of the plate with his fastball to their 8-9 hitters with 2 outs. McCarthy's fastball is only good when he can get it above the letters.

One of the worst games from the 3-4 guys all season.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 04:26 AM) Proctor has thrown like 200 innings in like 100 appearances out of their pen. Ok not that much, but his workload for a bullpen guy has been obnoxious. Thome hits into a 4-6 fielders choice. Good hustle to avoid the double play at least. And more grass on the way towards 2nd base is killed by Jim *sighs*. Who's killed more grass tonight? Jim Thome or Freddy Garcia?

Here comes the fastball PK....get on top of it and crush it.

Another grounder to 2nd base?

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 04:25 AM) You know what's funny, the Twins were shut out by Ted Lilly, Boston was swept in KC and we are going toe to toe with the hottest team in baseball right now. For some reason the results of this game are meaningless to me. Javier showed some balls as did McCarthy. We are best team in the wild card race. I actually understand what you're saying...but you have to win games though. We're in a situation where we can't be paper champions anymore. Good post though.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 04:23 AM) thome has zero chance with myers He could draw a walk or get HBP.

Garland ph for Thome?

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 04:20 AM) I hope AJ's smart enough to know that He got the 97 mph fastball in, and since Jeter was looking to go to right field, he was able to get him on the hands.

QUOTE(S720 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 04:21 AM) Fathom, would you stop being so fishing pessimistic! Have you looked at this board in the last month? I'm far from being the most pessimistic person. If you don't like my posts, then either add a baseball observation, or just don't respond at all.

Ok...lets get some runners on, and get Mussina out of the game. I just want to get this game to Jenks with the lead. I'll take my chances from them on out.

Well...this just has a terrible vibe right now. Jeter murders pitchers like Thornton, as he'll just take the outside fastball to right center.

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 04:18 AM) Detroit. Boston. Minnesota. The Yankees. White Sox. American League. Pretty good. Yes it is

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 04:16 AM) Cano's been a pain in the ass too. The entire team has been a pain in the ass.

I hate to see McCarthy get burned on two fastballs when he had his great offspeed stuff going.

YUCK! We're in trouble now.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 04:13 AM) They had to guess what pitch he was going on. My scouting report on Pods is that if he's going to steal, it's on the first pitch. Pods seems to be pressing trying to steal, and he has no rhythm on the bases at all. However, like we said, I don't mind the play at all.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 04:11 AM) haha the lojack thing is for when we get caught stealing now too Well, their sponsorship isn't getting their money's worth for the Sox. The funny thing is that when Sandy threw out someone a few weeks ago, it was the first time I could remember seeing the LoJack sponsorship all year.

Where's that curve been?

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 04:10 AM) Maybe, just maybe, to get the runner into scoring position with two out? I don't mind it. I'd rather have Iguchi leading off next inning.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 04:09 AM) He should have known, he usually gets good reads on things like that. Please stop.
