QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:03 AM) Yes sir. Warm weather, stretch run, and contract season = big 2nd half statistically. No offensive player has more money to gain with a big finish to the season than PK.

f***ing Everett. Why didn't Timo get to bat? The 9th is Timo Time.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:00 AM) Ok, lemme explain myself. When I 1st saw the kid on the net, I was concerned. Is he okay? How did he fall? Then, when I realized he was okay, it isn;t as big of a deal. If someone pushed him,I am sorry and take it all back but if he fell on his own, he is just a dumbass. I know you didn't mean anything cruel. Everyone just needs to take a step back and realize how lucky he was that he didn't die. If you've ever sat in the front row of an upper deck, it's scary as hell when you look down. Thankfully, we didn't have a horrible tragedy occur.

That a boy PK! Like I said, I have no clue why they left Embree in. Were they afraid of Timo batting 2nd this inning?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:58 AM) Do you think the kid that fell is going to call his friends and tell them to watch for him on Sportscenter? Thankfully, the kid is ok. However, get ready to see him all over the talk show circuit now. Happening in Yankee Stadium = getting calls from agents as we speak.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:56 AM) I saw Jenks warming. He wouldn't choose this time to get him in would he>? It would make for an intersting night on soxtalk.com if he did, and the Sox lost. I think even I wouldn't be the most negative poster

Come on, lets rock Embree while he's in.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:55 AM) What's with the negitivity?? One run game against the 4-5-6 at Yankee Stadium = paranoid fans. If you're not worried, then more power to you. My blood pressure is envious of yours.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:54 AM) I doubt it. They are probably making sure he's OK, and probably want to know how it happened, like if someone pushed him. Yeah, even though for a second, it looked like the police had the kids hands behind his back waiting to cuff him.

Yes sir! Way to keep the ball down Cliffy! For better or worse, it's Hermanson's time to shine.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:53 AM) Ugh. AJ pointed up. I had visions of Sweeney Me too!

Man, missed his spot again. Need to keep it away from Sheff.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:52 AM) It appears as though they are going with off speed. Better not hang it again.

Those 88 mph inside sliders can go a long way!

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:51 AM) absolute intentional walk sheff! Won't happen. You don't intentionally walk the tying run on base.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:50 AM) Walk Him. Maybe. If AROD hits a bomb it doens't matter. He's the clutchest hitter in the league. I like your philosophy

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:49 AM) Wow, that scared me, I thought that was a bloop off the bat. No kidding. Shades of Saturday night vs Mariners!

Good pitch by Cliff there. Sheffield vs Cliff's fastball = scary!

Does this feel like an Oakland game now?

Wow, that was almost a huge disaster there. Crede sure seems confident on the field, doesn't he?

QUOTE(AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:45 AM) I don't think I've every seen Cotts in the 8th or 9th inning with a save opp. No save opportunities, but he's pitched plenty of 8th innings. He's better than Marte this season....no other way to put it.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:43 AM) God, KC's Defense sucks. What happened?

QUOTE(AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:43 AM) Cotts is a 5th-7th inning middle reliever...not a setup or closer.... Says who? He's one of the best relievers in baseball now. He's been fine in the setup role this season when given the chance.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:42 AM) Clifford has shut down righties and lefties all year long better than Neal. In a 1 run game, I'll take my chances with Cliffy. Cotts has been lights out lately, while Cliff has not been as sharp as he was earlier in the year (hard to match though). Either way, one of them should have been starting the 8th inning. Ozzie has got to learn to trust our bullpen, for better or worse.

Not sure how well Politte can hold on Womack here.
