Ha, a fighter jet just flew over the Cell.

93 pitches for Lance, he's gonna have to make this inning an efficient one if he wants to go 6.

This isn't going to sound right since he did limit the Royals to only 2 runs (only 1 should have been earned) over 5 today and that's all you really could ask from Lance. But he really needs to start missing some bats if he wants to succeed against real offenses. He struck no one out and I'd venture to guess that the Royals were making contact on at least 90% of their swings today, he just wasn't getting anything past them. That's not going to fly against a more potent lineup. Great results from Lance but he's gonna have to work on some things if he doesn't want to get his ass handed to him next time out.

81 pitches through 4 for Lance. If he can give us 1 more scoreless inning then get him the hell out of there, his start will have been a complete success.

This is some f***ing ugly baseball right here.

JD . . . huge. Picks up his teammate and gives the Sox the lead.

We're going to single them to death. HOLY f***! 3 guys on base for CQ? Wow. That's a week's worth.

And captain douchebag comes through.

All hail Juan Uribe.

Broadway is just incapable of missing bats right now, the hitters are getting to everything he's tossing up there. 53 f***ing pitches for Broadway, we'll be lucky if he goes 4.

It's going to be so annoying when Cabrera is awarded the gold glove for this season. He's going to finish with 12 errors or so, he's the previous winner and no other young SS have really stepped it up this year.

Uribe is a godsend at 3B, when the ball is hit to third you know the play is going to get made. It's a good feeling.

Anyone else hear Hawk yesterday mention how the defense for the Sox has been solid all year? The man has lost his damn mind.

This defense is a f***ing joke. Cabrera catches more balls to his side than any "elite" defender I've ever seen, lucky for him he can give a little head jerk before dropping it then call the press box between innings and get the error over turned.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:31 PM) We've got to retaliate. Here comes the fight today in Game 3. I doubt we do anything. If there's any retaliation it will be from Adam Russell in the 8th inning or in the 4th when we're down by 8.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:29 PM) Wow Broadway is going to be told to hit a Royal next half inning. He's probably gonna get ejected after he does it. The LAST thing Broadway needs is free baserunners.

Dear god Konerko is awful. I guess if it's not a batting practice fastball at the letters he's not going to drive it.

No good reason to pitch to Thome there especially with Konerko on deck.

Wow, this is getting ridiculous.

What do you know, Carlos Quentin at the plate with no one on base. Where have I seen this before?

26 pitch first inning for Broadway, half of those were Gordon alone.

Broadway's going to end up throwing 40 pitches in this inning.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:12 PM) Would it have been a double play? Probably not, especially with Konerko having to throw to 2nd but there would be 2 outs with a runner on 2nd. Big difference.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:11 PM) Was it Maier's hit or the Aviles double? The double. Hawk and DJ are giving it to Pauly and Broadway right now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 01:08 PM) What happened? He couldn't handle a ball hit to his left, it wasn't hit particularly hard and didn't take any funny hops, he just didn't catch it. The play should have been made easily but of course the official scorer scores it a hit.
