Speaking of relievers....what in the world are the Sox doing leaving any of their 40-man roster guys out of Chicago? I don't care about service time (a two week call up will hardly affect service time)...they need to win and they've got a great arm in Poreda sitting there. Unless you are 100% sure he isn't ready, I mean, he's got to be an improvement over Boone Logan. What about Egbert for the Broadway role? This is All Hands On Deck time.

The Sox really luck out rotation wise vs. KC and Minnesota. Liriano and Slowey are by far the hottest Minnesota pitchers since the ASB. The Sox miss them both. The Sox miss Zach Greinke and Gil Meche and face Bannister, Davies and Duckworth (although Duckworth just beat the Twins).

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 15, 2008 -> 06:43 AM) Q has already been taking flips for a few days with one arm. Which, my guess, is as relevant as a guy who has ACL surgery hopping on the other leg the next day. I'm sure he's doing it to keep his baseball muscles loose on his lead hand, but I'm not sure it has any relevance to his recovery.

Can someone put a sticky on this game thread? Instant classic. K THX.

Crazy game. Just crazy.

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 11:09 PM) My Favorite Spot Ever for Wise. Fixed my post.

Not my favorite spot for Wise.

Praying for wild pitch + dunk shot into cf 2 rbi.

Good news is that Ozzie didnt stupidly take Thome out for a pinch runner.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 11:01 PM) Let Fields bat for Hall, and maybe Leyland will bring Farnsy in so we can use AJP. +3. Definitely. Of course, Hall will bat and will hit into a DP 100% of the time.

WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 10:44 PM) Btw, Brooke Shields is still hot. +2

Cabrera 2 for 6 against Dotel this year. With a walk off homer.

Please give us a double play ball Cabrera.

Mother puss bucket.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 10:36 PM) Its 7-3 in the 8th inning at home. Its okay. Boone Logan fixed your post. This game is not over. I hate the bullpen right now.

Boone Logan. By God. Doesn't Ozzie want to win this game?

First time I've seen Dolsi pitch. He has some pretty good stuff. If he can get command, he's got to be the Tiger closer.

OK this game is NOT over. That Tiger lineup is too good to think this one is over. Hessman's homer after the big Sox inning sucks. Let's pour it on....score 12 runs this game.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 10:03 PM) I am going to try and be super positive right now, and hope Swisher and his terrible season will really motivate him to come back strong to start to the season. He has to be better than this. He has to, right? One would think. It's not like 2007 was his rookie year. The weird thing is that his skills should translate fairly well to the Cell- shorter porch, smaller foul territory. Then again, Swish is more of a .250 hitter. The difference between where he is now and that level is only about 15 hits over the course of a season. Would those 15 singles make a big difference? Maybe the Sox are 1 game better (would loom big now), but it's hard to tell.

Do you send Danks out with 84 pitches to face Polanco / Ordonez / Cabrera in a 7 run game?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 09:57 PM) Rogers with his 4th straight 7 run game. Time to hang them up asshole. Fixed your post.

Juan!

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 09:55 PM) Griffey!!!! 6-0, damn I thought that was gone. So did Griffey.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 14, 2008 -> 09:52 PM) Paws up. LOL very nice.
