QUOTE (ChiSox35 @ Jul 27, 2008 -> 03:17 PM) At this point in the season it's safe to call an upcoming series the biggest of the year, and even if we sweep and make it a 5.5 game lead, that's not enough to feel safe until there's a late september champagne party in the Sox locker room. That day comes and I'll smoke a nice cuban imported Montecristo cigar somewhere innaporpriate. Not sure if you think the Sox have a 3 game series with Minnesota or you think the Sox are only 1.5 games ahead. But it's a 2.5 game lead with a 4 game series, if they swept the Sox we'd be down 1.5 games, but if the Sox sweep it'd be a 6.5 game lead. I don't think either is going to happen so it'll probably be in the middle. I'd be content with a 2-2 to be honest. I just have a bad feeling the Twins will win the series 3-1.

great play Uribe

Sox have a better winning percentage than the Cubs, very nice.

these games are gonna give me a heart attack.

I am 11, and I'm born on 11/11.

I'd rather get a faster player, not another who is going to swing for the fences constantly, especially if we have Thome and Konerko.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 04:15 PM) You pitch a guy differently when it is 1st and 2nd with two out than when it is bags loaded 1 out. yeah obviously you do, but I don't think it would've made much of a difference because you can't seem to count of either one of those two in the clutch right now.

Pathetic.

I saw a replay of the Cox decision of sending AJ and that was horrible. But even had he kept AJ at third with the bases loaded, Thome struck out, and Konerko would've found a way to get out as well probably.

Crede will try to equal his homer when he comes up, this isn't looking good.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 04:03 PM) The velocity police on this site can take a deep breath now, Jenks is throwing 95-96. Dangit I'm part of the hitting police.

a double, a walk, a single, and can't score a run.

I don't trust Thome one bit in clutch situations either..........

what happened? I don't get to watch the Sox.

Anderson sporting the .226 average.

QUOTE (robin23 @ Jul 20, 2008 -> 03:47 PM) hawk keeps talking about how we have the best bullpen in baseball, but clearly that is not true. They have been useless for the past week and a half. yeah the bullpen hasn't been steller, in fact most of the pitching staff hasn't been good since the all star break.

Good, I'm rooting for the Dodgers and hope he can contribute and help them get into the playoffs.

Crede has only struck out 40 times, that's pretty good for him.

I'm assuming Pierzynski, Quentin, Thome, and Konerko will all probably try to swing for the fence, especially if nobody is on base.

we have 2 innings to get another run, let's go guys, this has been a very frustrating day.

down a run again, shoot.

Rangers Win!

are you kidding me? Wilson just threw a 40 foot pitch, 2 base wild pitch and now Mauer is at 3rd.

It was funny to hear the Twins announcers say Kansas City still leading Chicago 6-5. Then about a minute later Chicago now ahead 7-6 on a Swisher homer. Mauer just walked, Morneau at bat now.

WOOHOO
