Give him a chance to steal 2nd. If you do that, and get him over with the bunt, you'll have them loaded for Dye.

Mercy...that was close.

Good grief...block the ball. Vazquez is completely giving away his change-up with his body.

Ozzie with just a terrible managed game.

Whew...lucky. Gload still should never see the field for the Sox again.

We deserve to lose this game.

f*** ROSS GLOAD!!! That's also Cora's fault.

Perfect pitch to hit.

None of these protect swings from Crede.

QUOTE(quickman @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 09:48 PM) if cora costs us this game I will kill him myself I like the call. I was actually thinking of that same situation prior to Dye's AB. You can't risk it there.

That looked like a normal fly ball off the bat. Good job by Cora holding the runner.

Yes sir. Gotta avoid the double play here. It's too bad Ozuna's not 100 pct healthy.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 09:40 PM) Maybe you can tell me what's wrong with this board. Really, these trade suggestions have been nuts. Is it because the schools are out? Or is it my fault again? I had to delete my post in that Prior/Woody thread because it was just too mean. QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 09:41 PM) Well the one thing we can say is the White Sox don't quit. Especially on Sundays.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 09:36 PM) Right. You are exactly right. Their hitters have had a great approach the whole series. It's the same reason we always struggled with the A's. Their hitters wouldn't just give up easy outs like some of ours (Uribe, etc.). They would always make our pitchers work.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 09:36 PM) 12 games out of the WC does not quantify as still being "in it" IMO Don't worry, every publication will make it sound like they're in a better position than we are.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 09:33 PM) At the start of this series, I wanted to give the edge to our lineup, but their hitters have a much better approach to hitting. Boston looks to be superior to us in all aspects. It's hard to tell, as they're playing very well right now. However, I would definitely suggest that their hitters are tougher outs than ours.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 09:32 PM) If we lose this one, it's going to really suck. This loss could be terrible to go into the break having been swept by a playoff team at home when you had a chance to come back in the last game to salvage something. Same thing happened last year. That's the only saving grace I can see. It's just amazing how every button Francona's pushed this series has worked out.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 09:32 PM) I said it in a thread somewhere a day ago. Don't forget the Cubs winning 3 in a row, thus leading to the inevitable "they're still in it" columns.

Sorry, I thought Thornton had allowed a run yesterday.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 09:29 PM) I think Fathom already said it, but it is indeed scary how similiar this series has been to the series against the A's last year.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 09:28 PM) f***ing dumb. And puss armed Pods provides nothing except for another runner getting into scoring position. Is Pods playing Loretta on the warning track? He should have had an easy play at the plate. If Vazquez allows a run this inning, every pitcher on our team will have allowed a run this series.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 09:28 PM) We're not a very good extra innings team. Cause every f***ing player swings for the fences. Loretta should exactly the type of swing you need in that situation.

That sucks. We didn't challenge Youkilis when we had to. Boston's aggressiveness on the bases won them this game. Please never pitch Jenks for that many pitches again.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 09:17 PM) Iguchi requested to be moved down. Um, no he didn't. And even if he did, wouldn't that show you he's not comfortable swinging trying to protect all the time?

Our pitchers didn't get the memo that Lowell is a great fastball hitter.
