QUOTE (The Baconator @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 12:08 PM) Anyone else have little faith in Nix's at-bat right now? I admit I love seeing him at the plate, just not with RISP and 2 out. Based on absolutely no stats but it feels like he never comes through in the clutch Edit: It's looking up, Hughes is a first pitch fastballer and Nix is Nix... Edit2: Lame. Got a cookie on 3-2 couldn't do anything with it.

On the other hand Freddie hasn't been bad at all.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 11:00 AM) Johnny Damon looks like he one hands his home runs. WTF? Robin Ventura hit that way. Charlie Lau/ Walt Hriniak theories. Damon started with KC I beleive where those teachings might have influenced him.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 11:02 AM) They're limiting his pitch count for the year. I should say innings pitched.

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 11:01 AM) 35 pitches? What did I miss? They're limiting his pitch count for the year.

Joba out already.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 10:58 AM) That should be enough for them. I sure hope not. Joba isn't exactly mowing us down. Plus he probably won't pitch more than 5 innings , maybe only 4.

Damon belts a hanger for 3-2 Yankee lead.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 10:46 AM) I'm pretty positive Nix was safe. Smart move on his part, though, IMO. Cano needed to make a perfect play to have a chance of getting him, and I guess he did (according to the Ump). 3 straight hits off Joba already on 2nd no out . Unwritten rules of baseball state never make 1st or 3rd out at 3rd base.

Pod's single up the middle Alexei scores Nix to second , throw rolls towards pitchers mound and Nix gunned at 3rd. Not a good decision by Nix . Was very close , might have been in there.

Nix Single 1st and 3rd no outs.

Steals 2nd.

Lead off single by Alexei.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 10:35 AM) Whenever Jorge comes up I just want him to do something (whether it's groundout or hit a HR) quickly so I don't have to hear HIP HIP JORGE for several minutes. They were doing it the entire damn AB. Did o-wee-o Magglio bother you ?

DP. Freddie through 2.

Freddie K's Godzilla

It's me and bacon lovers in here .

1-1

QUOTE (PeavyTime @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 09:06 AM) Thome against Chamberlain? Thome can't hit a Buehrle fastball, let alone a Chamberlain one. Maybe he will coax a few walks. Chamberlain threw much harder in relief than he does as a starter.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 30, 2009 -> 10:16 AM) how has freddy looked in his starts? 1 sucky 1 decent.

For the Fire Walker thread also

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Aug 29, 2009 -> 08:40 PM) Didn't we create a thread like this last year too? Someone find that thread, because I'm pretty sure I used the song "Won't Get Fooled Again." I'm pretty sure we did . Good Who song .

Electric Light Orchestra - It's Over Summer came and passed away, Hardly seemed to last a day, But it's over, And what can I do ? Music playin' in the air, Silence on a darkened stair, Cos it's over, And what can I do ? Chorus It's over, It's over, all over, It's over all over now, And the way you looked Don't even mean I'm down. (It's over)

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 07:20 PM) Shades of Miguel Ascensio here in NYC. 8 balls in a row. What else will happen this season? Nobody warming up for the Sox, bullpen mound covered, Cano a textbook line-drive hitter....YOU KNOW THE GODS OF BASEBALL DEEM CANO to get the walk off single. Nope walk off HR.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 28, 2009 -> 06:51 PM) Jeter, Cabrera or Damon WALK-OFF??? Who will be the Yankees' hero tonight? I'm looking for a Sox hero.
