This should be Garcia's last batter of the game. We need a K.

QUOTE(valponick @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 12:54 AM) Disgusting by Juan. That was a very tough hop to handle. That type of play can decide this game.

Bad throw by Anderson. Another example of our horrific outfield throwing this season.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 12:52 AM) What the hell is Mench complaining about? He struck out, its his fault. Also, I thought that complaining about balls and strikes gets an ejection. I could be wrong though. He's complaining about the first pitch of the AB, which WGN didn't show. Since when did WCIU turn into WGN?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 12:50 AM) And JD is hitting .385 since the break... Exactly...it's very telling that he has no RBI, and he's been hitting that well. A definite sign of a slump.

QUOTE(Felix @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 12:46 AM) gee.. a popup from AJ. Who is surprised? A pop up from Crede. Who is surprised?

Twins trail 5-0

AJP just looks awful. In a telling stat for our offense, Dye has no RBI in the 2nd half of the season so far.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 12:39 AM) Good job Freddy! I have high hopes for this inning. And who says I'm not optimistic. Good job PK!

Good job Freddy! I have high hopes for this inning.

Another great defensive play.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 12:34 AM) Hell, just look what a bunt did to Buehrle's game. Kinsler or whomever it was had a little squibber and all of a sudden there were two on in that first inning and the rest is history. Are you referring to Laird's bunt last night? A big difference was that there were no outs when he did it. Even if he would have been out, his team would have had two chances with RISP. Instead, when Anderson made the out, it put Ozuna in a situation where he had to knock the runner in with 2 outs. I don't mind the Anderson bunt as much as I did the Ozuna bunt though, at least he was trying to spark the team.

Please hold them this inning Freddy.

QUOTE(soxunited @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 12:31 AM) That really was the worst bunt I have seen in a long time He kept it fair...that automatically makes it one of the top 10 bunts by the Sox all years.

Great....2 outs made by bunts, with 1 out, tonight!!! That's smart baseball.

Blah. We're not squaring up these pitches at all.

Could have been much worse.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 12:24 AM) You never know what could happen, if other teams are involved, maybe a starting pitcher comes our way with one of our starters going there way. Have you heard of any reasoning behind Fields not playing?

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 12:23 AM) Ya no spiff, probably would get a SP prospect back though. I highly doubt we'd get another player. I'm worried we'd give up another prospect besides Fields.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 12:22 AM) As rotoworld says... Linebrink for Fields would make me puke.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 12:20 AM) obviously, the solution is to trade for a different 2B to play LF. Come on....Ozuna is an absolutely awful LF. Soriano has made a pretty smooth transition to LF, and he plays in a very deep park. He'd be able to play more shallow at the Cell, and his arm could prevent quite a few runs from scoring. As Sox fans, we'd really hate Brad Wilkerson if he was ever on our team. QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 12:20 AM) Freddy comes back and gets the K. He threw two good Fb's and than had a real nice changeup to get Wilkerson swinging. He's had a good changeup tonight. His curve has been brutal this inning.

Get McCarthy up in the pen now. We can't afford a big inning for the Rangers.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 12:18 AM) Mench hammered it for an RBI double. How the run scored from first I have absolutely no idea. Cause we have a 2nd baseman playing in left field.

Well, that was predictable. I really hope the people booing in the stands weren't expecting Garcia to keep them scoreless.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 23, 2006 -> 12:15 AM) When we take the lead, and get two outs with no one on the next inning, Freddy needs to plunk someone for AJ and Podsednik. Why would he do that? He's pitching solid tonight. If he hits someone, he'll get tossed. Screw this revenge stuff, and just win the freaking game.
