Anderson should have been able to get into 2nd base by now.

Ugh....at least he swung at a strike.

Good eye/thanks ump.

Hafner hits a walk-off homer off of Sisco.

This is one of those rallies that should give them some momentum heading into tomorrow.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 17, 2006 -> 01:57 AM) Wow, he actually brought that out. Paniagua and Logan both suck royal ass. Did we win another game all season after the Paniagua debacle?

QUOTE(aboz56 @ May 17, 2006 -> 01:55 AM) It wasn't a debacle. Takatsu gave up 3 gophers in the f***ing 9th, our pen was totally used up and Vizcaino had to throw more than he could and finally got bent over. I came up to Chicago for that game and that might be the most pissed I have ever been at a game. The debacle was meant for the 9th inning on. The worst part about that game was that Hermanson dominated the 8th inning, and threw like 10 pitches to get the side out. Then, Mr. nine point zero came in, and the game was tied.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 17, 2006 -> 01:55 AM) He brought this guy to face Hafner in a 2-1 game in the 8th based on a myth in ST. That ball orbits the earth today. Everytime Boone comes in, all of the inherited runners score. He makes Mike Jacksons IR stats seem like a walk in the park. I promised myself I wouldn't b**** about KW this season, as he did an amazing job last year. However, I think his ego got the better of him this spring, and he thought they could pull a rabbit out of his hat by promoting Logan to the MLB roster.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ May 17, 2006 -> 01:52 AM) He was solid except in a few big spots, when he seemed to put more pressure on himself, but he was solid, especially in the second half when he settled into his role as a 6/7/mopup guy. I think Viz had a terrible reputation because of the Indians debacle in game 3 of the season. He wasn't great last season, but he was 10 times the pitcher that someone like Logan is.

So where does Boone's game tonight rate on the all-time pathetic individual performances in a game by a Sox player?

Sizemore hits a homer to tie the game in the 9th.

Good job Thome. With Tampa's relief, you should never give up the way we did by keeping Logan in the game.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 17, 2006 -> 01:45 AM) Pitchers practice that until they are blue in the face from little league on. It should be automatic. Either he was converted to a pitcher late, or he's just a dumbass. Like I said before Logan started to s*** himself on the mound, there's something about him that irks me. Maybe it's just knowing that it was a joke he was on this MLB roster to start the season.

QUOTE(Whitewashed in @ May 17, 2006 -> 01:44 AM) First of all considering what we would have to give up and what he would cost to re-sign I wouldn't want him. Thats even if they would trade him to us. Second, he has great defense and a DECENT bat, nothing special at all. His GG defense is what we'll be paying for. I don't think it would be a good move at all. We'd be getting him because he's an obvious upgrade offensive in CF over Brian Anderson.

QUOTE(jenksd @ May 17, 2006 -> 01:38 AM) Get out, the best defensive Center Fielder is better than another center fielder? I was just saying that in response to people trying to tell me how great Anderson is in the outfield. He's been better than any of us expected so far defensively, but it's not like we're comparing him to Rowand now.

Can we pull this team off the field? Please remove PK and Dye before they get hurt.

QUOTE(Felix @ May 17, 2006 -> 01:34 AM) Rowand ~ Hunter They replaced Rowand with Anderson, and Rowand was a huge fan favorite & organizational favorite. Doesn't that speak wonders for what the organization think of Anderson? Why would they replace him mid-season? Also, Ozzie wouldn't make the trade, Kenny would I've always thought the Rowand trade was more of a sign of what the organization thought of his long-term potential (or lack of).

The Astros just totally threw at Bonds. 3 straight pitches way up inside. QUOTE(jenksd @ May 17, 2006 -> 01:34 AM) We only need one good defensive fielder per side of the field? What are you talking about? Brian Anderson gets ridiculous jumps, and he didn't make that play look difficult at all. Don't make Torii Hunter this year's Ken Griffey already. He's not this year's Griffey Jr., as I don't think the Twins would trade him to us. Hunter is still a better defender than Anderson, and he's a much better hitter.

QUOTE(jenksd @ May 17, 2006 -> 01:31 AM) what was that? Anderson gets good jumps on fly balls, but that was nowhere near as difficult a play as he made it. I think we already have our one defensive specialist up the middle (Uribe). I think as the season goes on, we're going to need more production from the bottom of our order.

Next time we face a lefty with good stuff, we need to make sure Ozuna gets into the lineup. He's our toughest out against lefties with tough stuff.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 17, 2006 -> 01:27 AM) Wow. I think the Cubs just won the World Series. Place is going nuts after a 2 run single. You mean the pitcher falling down on a bunt, a throwing error, and a bunt hit don't mean they're back?

Real quick...I didn't post in the other thread, but if Ozzie could get Hunter to play CF, I'd do it in a second.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 17, 2006 -> 01:20 AM) Something I hope we never see: Logan vs. Pujols It might happen. Kengshill Pujols is on the roster of the Ogden Raptors, a rookie level team for the Dodgers.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 17, 2006 -> 01:18 AM) For the love of everything that is holy what other stats would you like to use? I don't care if Cy Young is pitching for Tampa, you should still have a chance to beat them. Santana is the only pitcher in this league who I don't expect the Sox to have a chance in hell against.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ May 17, 2006 -> 01:16 AM) You know what suxks? The AL west. It's funny seeing the Yankees continue to come back from a 9-1 deficit vs the Rangers. That game is probably going to take a few years of life away from some Rangers fans.
