This game has gotten a little too close for comfort.

PULL HIM OZZIE!

BTW, the Red Sox have now scored at least 7 runs in their last 14 home games.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 01:57 AM) Have you seen his pitch count? Yes, and I know he usually struggles late in the game as batters see more of his stuff. Maybe it's just me, but I have more confidence in Cotts starting the 8th than I do Contreras in regards to putting up a scoreless inning.

GREAT JOB JOSE! That should be it...put this game in the hands of Cotts/Politte/Dustin.

Come on, big out here for Contreras!

Nice edit....and yes, I agree.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 01:50 AM) would it really matter anyways? I wasn't being serious, but he's just so much better when he's not out of the stretch.

This is getting scary. That was a play that should have been made by Uribe.

May I suggest Ozzie gets someone up in the pen?

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 01:46 AM) don't worry about it jose, the offense showed up tonight forget about it and keep on trucking Can Contreras just pitch from the wind-up no matter what?

Ugh, that was quick. Pods just has to bust his ass to get back to the fence to get in position to catch that ball. So much speed...yet so little clue as to what he's doing out there.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 01:42 AM) Ozuna = garbage vs righties. Nice to see Harris swinging the bat a little better. Yeah, you can tell Ozuna doesn't get the bat through the zone quick enough vs righties. He's a 4-3 machine with righties on the mound.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 01:35 AM) having a pitcher absolutely dominate helps as well Yeah, but we've had plenty of great pitching performances where our offense looked awful. It's not like we're getting a bunch of bloopers to score runs tonight.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 01:33 AM) Thank goodness we're out of August. I still think it has a lot to do with the trade deadlines being over. No more hoping to have someone else come carry the load....each of these players has to take it upon themselves to have a good month.

Terrific play by Harris there. It was great to see Contreras not walk the leadoff batter, and just make him put the ball in play.

Iguchi showed up late to the game cause of traffic.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 01:16 AM) JC has been absolutely fantastic as of late playoff rotation? yes Yep, and I can't believe how some people want Duque in the rotation. Even though he seems to be throwing better lately, his numbers over his last 5 starts are still real bad. A very good game for Duque still equates to about 3 runs allowed. A good game for the 4 other starters means 0 or 1 run.

jphat....where were you in the Fathom appreciation thread last night?

Great job Contreras! Also, it was very nice to see Willie not rush that double play. With any tricky hop lately, I have a feeling I'm not the only Sox fan that gets a little nervous.

Cancel the post game. Not quite sure Dye got a very good jump on that play.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 01:06 AM) Gah. Why is everyone playing good defense against us. thats such BS It didn't look like Monroe had a chance to catch that. The thing that hurts is that it always seems the great defensive plays directly result in the Sox not scoring a run.

Why are outfielders just making sensational catches against the Sox now? Bring back Milton Bradley!!!

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 2, 2005 -> 01:02 AM) Yes!!!!!!!! we play better in front of crappy crowds. It's amazing, isn't it!

Wow, AJP running quite funny there. I thought for a second he might have hurt himself. Just AJP being AJP, I guess. Great swings by our last two hitters!
