1 down for Lackey in the ninth.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 06:19 PM) If BA played every day, he would hit .320 with 30 HR's and 110 RBIs Made me laugh !

Ahhh missed the BA homer waiting for LAckey to finish his no hitter.

QUOTE (NYSox35 @ Jul 29, 2008 -> 06:02 PM) Just 83 pitches and won't have to face Ortiz & Manny if he retires everyone in order (6-7-8 up in 8th) Thanks . Now I have it on. Well flipping back and forth between the Sox game. Through 8 . One more inning.

Teams are asking for too much right now. Just an example is what the Pirates want for Jason Bay from Atlanta. They were offered 4 minor leaguers , one of whom had a pretty good stint with the Braves earlier in the year, and turned it down. 4 young guys , one of whom is major league ready for a guy who is only under contract for the rest of this year and 2009 seemed like way too much to give up but yet the Pirates said no. Won't be much happening till some of these teams lower their demands , maybe at the last minute.

It's also time to move Alexei up in the lineup. Just because he has speed is no reason to keep him batting last. I think it's time to bat him 6th and move Swish to last . Anderson/Wise platoon 7th, Fields 8th.

Nice try Rock. The power of positive thinking or positive reinforcement must help somehow. If it doesn't what would explain vast differences between home and road records ?

Juannie woo woo !

KW is no idiot. He's out there trying to make impact moves. Imagine if the Sox could pry Roberts away from Baltimore and then turn around and trade Cabrera to the Dodgers for whoever. By all appearances thats what he's trying to do. Pretty bold thinking nearing August changing your up the middle D completely on a 1st place team. He's also got his plans B-Z depending how things unfold before and after the trade deadline. If Richard pitches well enough to stay we'll see him getting spot starts for Danks and Floyd to keep them as fresh as possible . If he doesn't, Haeger's an option. It all depends on how big of a lead we can maintain in the division. It's possible KW's already got Paulie to waive his no trade status to certain teams. Does anyone think Swisher is untouchable ? I never see his name bounced around as trade bait but he's a pretty valuable commodity. I can see Cabrera, Crede, Fields, Konerko, Floyd , Swisher, and/or Poreda going to the Dodgers . They have Kemp, Lowe, LaRoche and any number of players that could help the Sox. If the Sox make any sort of big trade it'll probably be with the Dodgers , but by most accounts the Dodgers aren't even sure what direction they want to go. If anything happens look for it to happen late , either Wednesday or very close to the deadline expiring.

Sox now 21-2 against the Tigers when Dye homers.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 05:46 PM) I think we all know how this is gonna end. We need our bullpen to get healthy. Just really tough against a hot hitting team. With another W for the Sox ! Ova ! 7-6 Good guys.

Nice breakup of the DP Alexei

Why bunt him over when Wise is facing a righty and Ramirez can steal against a righty ?

Gotta hold that Tiger.

QUOTE (JDsDirtySox @ Jul 26, 2008 -> 07:57 AM) espn.com is reporting Casey Blake is close to becoming a Dodger. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3506150 It's a done deal.

Dye blast sounds death knell for Tigers. Sox 58-43, 3.5 up on the damn Twinkies and 6.5 up on the damn Tiggers.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 09:16 PM) After reading the game thread and having discussions on Sox fans booing Paulie, I wouldn't get too cocky in my evaluation of another team's fans. Ha, game threads are always the same , unless the Sox are up 10-0 its always doom and gloom. Love the ones who hit and pitch well and hate those who ,God forbid, have a bad day. It's the end of the world as we know it but i feel fine.

Damaso Marte is now a Yankee.

Yankees stole those 2. Nady hitting what .330 and Marte has been lights out lately.

Yankees just stole Xavier Nady and ex-Sox Damaso Marte from the Pirates.

Yesssssssssssssss ! Woo hoo Winnaaaaaaaaa !

Booby lookin svelte unless its the black shirt.

Dye did a Sosa hop after he hit it .

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 04:48 PM) Hell...I'm not either at this time of day. Maybe it's the 6 Miller Lites so far this afternoon....but... You didn't share with CQ did you ?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2008 -> 04:46 PM) I am not a fan of the first pitch swinging. Unless it's Alexei , he's pretty good at it.l
