Thanks everyone for a fun gamethread tonight.

WE WIN!!! Great job by the bullpen.

Stick with the heater!

Not a good AB by Diaz! 2 outs!

QUOTE(greg775 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 05:31 AM) what is happening? help me out! 1 on, 1 out 6-4 Sox

Well, at least he didn't throw that into the outfield. Should have been a double play though.

DJ trying for the jinx.

Not a good start. If Hermanson's back is fine, then I'm shocked he's not in the game. If he warms up, I want him in the game.

Oh boy, this isn't starting off well.

Wow, Jenks is still in the game.

Haha....AJP is a groundout to the right side machine.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 05:22 AM) Any doubts that he signs a three year deal this off-season? Yes, he might be asking for a lot more than we want to offer.

Why not ph Ozuna or Anderson here? Might as well take advantage of the deep bench.

Dye just missed that. How about AJP tries to drop a bunt down here?

BTW, Garland is arb eligible.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 05:18 AM) Yeah, I have to say that this gamethread = the best. Lots of fun tonight, hopefully they can cap it off with a WSW. We've even agreed on some things!

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 05:17 AM) Payroll will be at least 85 million next year, so that gives the Sox roughly 20 million to play with to fill DH/3rd/lefty reliever and add a bench player or two. Plus if they want to give anyone else raises they can do that as well. Worst case scenario: Do you still think we'll raise payroll that much if Sox don't make the playoffs?

QUOTE(qwerty @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 05:16 AM) Btw, this game thread has been great tonight with all the ''off-season'' talk. To tell you the truth i cannot wait for this s***ty off-season to begin... love the off-season. Considering we had a great offseason last year, where most of the guys we wanted, we ended up getting (AJP and Iguchi, especially). I remember logging on every 2 hours or so hoping to see an update on a signing.

Another amazing offensive game by our anchor. Not only that, but because he's been slumping, Ozzie had to make the right move and try to move PK up in the order.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 05:14 AM) Can we just stick with Bobby Jenks, rather then going to The Closer ™ just 'cause it's a save situation? What do you think?

QUOTE(knightni @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 05:13 AM) Whew. THAT'S a reliever. KC had no chance of getting around on his fastball. Jenks reminds me of a heavier Jim Parque.

Good job by Jenks overcoming his Chad Hutchinson moment.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 05:12 AM) Pierre= cheaper than furcal ( who i highly doubt we get but others think we have a great shot at)... so that sounds great to me. I have a feeling we are gonna get disgusted with the furcal talk this year, just like last season it was renteria and orlando GOD cabrera. I have absolutely no hope we'll win the bidding war for Furcal. If the Braves don't resign him, the Cubs will be ALL over him.

Not to get too analytical, but it's about time we shaded E. Brown up the middle. He has a handful of hits against us this season on grounders just like the one he made an out on.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Sep 14, 2005 -> 05:09 AM) Did I just hear a golf clap for that Podsednik catch? I think you heard the sound of Sox fans breathing again after Pods got another stellar read on a flyball.
