K's Davanon after another blocked one in the dirt. He hung in there. 3 BB's and 4 K's. It is all or nothing with this kid isn't it?

Cotts with 2 pitches to Guillen in the dirst blocked by Miggy. Wild and hopefully he doesn't give up another run.

I was going to add that he was throwing over to first and getting behind on Vlad and wasn't concentrating on the hitter. Figgins steals 2B and Vlad then walks.

Neal is throwing balls to Guerrero here in the 9th after walking a guy.

Someone made the post a bit earlier about Carlos Lee and his running blunders. I am too lazy to look up which one us did that post, but Carlos has made some real boneheaded running plays this year. Last year he did the same, if I remember right. Ozzie had best put a boot up Carlos' rear ender and shake the "kid" up a bit. He has no idea what he is doing on the basepaths sometimes.

Oh well, Uribe GIDP. Not good.

Willie Harris had a good at bat. Worked it to a 3-2 count on 8 pitches and then singles. We need more of that stuff.

C'mon sox fans we need some more activity on this board. Maybe we can send those good vibes to the Sox hitters and rally. Jarry Manual

Please scuse my spellin errurs!

Neal cmes back real nice and gets 2 k's in the inning. I wish he could have done better as a strater in that chance he had. I believe he will be there by next season at the latest. Good future I believe.

Neal Cotts walks the first batter he faces and then K's the second guy. These walks to the first hitter our relief corp faces is just sickening. They have got to get that first guy out more.

I just scanned the box on MLB game day and see that Valentin struck out all 3 times he has batted. I am a bit concerned about his penchant for the K this year. I really like Jose and what he brings to the team, but it makes you wonder if there is something wrong with his swing, etc, and I wonder if he is on track to set a new strike out record or something.

Hopefully the guys will get charged up as they have a couple more chances to rally. 4 runs down is not that bad when these guys show their stuff with the bat.

Since Gload is in for Maggs today has there been any press mention that Maggs might be back tomorrow? If not I have to change my PTC.

Konerko with a home run to centerfield. Showing some fire now baby!

I just logged on. Rausch shows he can't do it either I see. 10 hits in 3 innings and 5 runs in one inning? When is the last time we had someone in the 5th spot who was productive. Heck even semi-productive?

I like Kelly Wunsch, but I think he is trade bait right now. But, I am not so convinced that Mike jackson or Politte are going to keep doing the job. Politte has alot of upside to him, but he needs something more than that heater that he can't always locate. Jackson is a veteran, but not always consistent. Wunsch could still be with the Sox this year again.

Yes, Ms. Lee, you are correct that we have no wins from the #5 spot and I am not sure any of the starters used this year have lasted through the 5th inning. I like Rausch and I wished he had been brought up late last year instead of Paniagua, but that is all history. Today he gets the start and I am looking forward to at least 6 innings and a win from him.

Konerko delivers with a line drive up the middle for a Sox winner. He didn't try to do to much with the pitch just hit it good and to center.

Carlos Lee pops out to the catcher. Unbelievable how inconsitent Lee has been this year. All we needed was a fly ball.

If they walk Lee now they must consider a lefty against Valentin. Otherwise Jos smokes the rightie. We'll see....

I wonder if they walk the bases loaded?

Uribe with a lead off triple! This guy is really showing something! I was really skeptical about the trade this winter, but I am glad to eat my words.

Yes he has certainly surprised the bad guys hasn't he. I really like the style he brings to the mound.

AND SHINGO WINS. Lets go Sox in the 9th
