Maybe we are seeing the El Duque that we heardabout and saw in past playoffs? He knows this is a big game for the Sox and is stepping up. Too bad we can't get some hitters to do that.
Remember all the stuff from KW and Ozzie about building a team on pitching? I agree that we need strong pitching, but for crying out loud at least get somebody in there that can drive in a run or three please!
Tell me what was happening with El Duked and the Ump.
The Sox are on FOX Natgional game of the week, but this stinkin Fox station here is playing adds for cooking ware. They will only broadcast the West coast games.

I think Hawk is awesome and I love the homer routine but him toeing the party line night in and night out is getting rediculous.
The ole Hawkaroo knows who butters his bread. He also knows that is why Harry Caray got fired-not being buttery enough.
The last person I would ask for his unbiased opinion on why Mark Buerhle in struggling would be Hawk Harrelson. Mark gives up a lot of hits and relies on defense to get him out of trouble. He is not overpowering by any stretch of the imagination so control has to be there for him. He misses some his spots and gets in trouble.

Well, that's one way to increase your post total.
I've never intentionally done anything to increase my posts. I don't think we get a prize or anything do we? My clicker stuck is all.
Optimism in the face of doom. Seeing Santana was pitching and the Sox offense sucking so bad I thought I would try the power of positive thinking at the start of this game, but then I figured what the heck is it going to matter?
Talk about adding insult to injury. Adkins gives up 5 hits and 2 bb's for 5 runs. Nathan comes in a k's the side. We are really showing something now aren't we? Well, there's always tomorrow.
This suck! I don't know if I told you all that before or not, but this sucks. We lost a 14 inning game too and a championship team finds ways to win these types of games. We find ways lose. Pathetic

i dont think adkins can get the last out
Your right. I don't think he can even get AA batters out. The guy needs to go down to Charlotte and stay there.
I am adiehard. I think we will win and go to the playoffs. But, the awful truth right now is we aren't playing like a championship team and haven't for awhile.
