PK likes the bases loaded with 2 outs in the 7th

That was too predictable. Thome's really sucked in those types of situations.

And here comes the K

Thome...act like Griffey Jr. for Zumaya.

That a boy Iguchi. Thome has got to make contact here. He has no chance once he gets 2 strikes on him.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 02:07 AM) And what happens after that? After what? Anderson being sent down? That's something that KW has had a few weeks to ponder, and I can't imagine how anyone can justify him still being up. He has no confidence in himself.

That's a huge break

Yet somehow, people still think Anderson should be in the majors.

Pathetic. I really hope that's his last AB with the Sox for a long time. Ozuna should have been hitting there.

Take 3

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 02:02 AM) quoted for posterity I lived up to my end of the bargain on Saturday night. Some might call me The Rally Fathom.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 02:00 AM) haha, it looks to me like Dmitri Young was off by 1 year. No, what I meant by that is he was one for the season vs the Sox last year, including a lot of big outs made in crucial situations.

Ok....if the Sox score 2 runs this inning, I won't post for the rest of this series.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 01:58 AM) They flat out quit for the last month or so of last season also. They now have a manager that won't allow that. I still want to know if Dmitri Young got his WS ring from the Sox yet.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 01:56 AM) Well, if there is...it's not the kid's talent. I don't think he mentally feels like he's a reliever.

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 01:56 AM) I'm not disagreeing, but how the f*** does a s***ty ass team the year before morph into a world series team the next year? They underachieved big time last year. They're been healthy this year, young guys like Rodney, Grandson, and Verlander are blossoming into starts, and they made a terrific acquisition in Rogers .

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 01:54 AM) Detroit is better right now.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 01:51 AM) Scary Thought for the day: Detroit is Better. I thought the same thing, but I have no credibility to post something like that. You could argue that they're better than us at every major facet: offense, defense, fielding, starting pitching, relief pitching, managing.

QUOTE(SoxHawk1980 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 01:51 AM) Robertson is getting better as he goes tonight. His innings are getting easier and easier. It almost looks like the Sox have given up. I'm sure they haven't, but it doesn't look like they are bearing down and fighting like hell, like they did last year. Can we trade Contreras for Rowand? :banghead

QUOTE(Ndgt10 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 01:48 AM) Like I said before, Robertson is coming into his own. He knows how to pitch and should be on the all-star team. He's been absolutely brutal tonight.

Garcia kept us in the game, which is all you can ask for. If we lose tonight, it's the offense's fault, not his.

It's disturbing to see the Tigers develop Granderson into such a good player...and our young guys look like they should be in high school.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 01:41 AM) If Garcia wins 15, which he's at least on the way to, then he'll have plenty of value. Veteran starting pitcher with playoff experience and a WS ring, with 14-15 wins? That's still worth a lot. If both guys end up with ERAs around 5, I still think Garland will have more value. Teams love his durability and his youth. Scouts aren't dumb...they see the same Garcia that we do.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 01:40 AM) Wait. What does chemistry have to do with this? We are just sucking. Getting base hits at the wrong times. NOt being clutch of late. I don't think that has anything to do with chemistry. I see guys being selfish at the plate, not communicating well, and just the lack of intensity.

We have one more inning against Robertson, and then we'll get 2 innings of Zumaya and Rodney. Man....this team couldn't be worse fundamentally if they tried.
