My goash darn... Kelly witha bse hit to ties the game. Plus he is on 2nd base now. This guy will live in Sox history.

Something doesn't seem right about the moves here. I would think Perez should PR and Gload should PH. But we will see...

Because of that blunder by Carlos and now a new pitcher coming in we could very well could have just lost our golden chance in this game. If we had the bags loaded with no out.... one can only dream.

We must have been wanting the wrong guy to be pinch run for? Carlos committed a czrdinal sin there and he has done it before that's what's so sad. Konerko then follws with a base hit.

I don't know the answer either. You would think it would be automatic in the 9th esp with Hurt being hurt.

I can't believe that Carlos was patient, but it pays off with a walk.

a two=strike single to right by the Hurt. These hitters could learn something from this guy.

TB is bringing in Baez. Now here is a guy, if these hitters are patient, will be prone to wildness and then giving up the long one. Big Hurt, Lee and Konerko. Hopefully we can get some action here.

You have to like Adkins. Nice to have some defense on our side also.

This Carl Crawfishdad is really getting on my nerves.

Well, Uribe got that homer he has wanted for some time. Good to see arun on the board. I don't think that Maggs has been looking very good lately nor has Lee, and Crede is so far in the muck I don't know what to think.

QUOTE (DonkeyKongerko @ Apr 25 2004, 10:06 PM) Gonzalez in line for his first win since August 19th of last year. He is a grinder! Why is it the Sox seem to be the team that also rans and newbie type pitchers look like Cy Young candidates?

Ditto. I wonder if some of them even are trying? Only ones today with hits are Harris and Konerko. Plus the Big Hurt is getting robbed.

Frank getting robbed is becoming to come place. Hope we start getting some breaks. I think our hitters are helping TB pitching become the best staff in the league.

Harris with 3 hits is good too. He had been in a slump. Hustled the last one into an out though. I don't know if it was close or not?

One positive spin on this game then is the fact Buerhle hasn't let the 8 runs and 2 innings in the last start bother him. That's why I like the guy so much. He has given up 8 hits in 6 innings, but he seems to do that a lot. His control is good (no walks) and he is getting some k's. Just too bad about that homer to Huff.

I agree with you on that. If we have a coach that preaches patience then what is happening here? Do we miss Jose Valentin that much? Maybe having that bat in the line up puts a bit more pressure on the opposing team and protects Maggs better?

I thought we beat this guy Gonzalez in TB last week? Now he looks like Cy Young.

I watched the game yesterday on WGN. I agree with others about plate discipline. The Sox had the sacks packed in the 8th I think it was and two outs. Lee swings at the 1st pitch and pops out to right. Uribe swings at everything and it seems the others are either missing everyhting or swinging for downtown. Ozzie ball? I don't think so.

Just logging in for the game info. Is it just me or does it seem our pitchers give up a lot of homers? Our batters seem to be swinging for the fences and not getting the homers. Doesn't equal out does it?

I liked what I saw from Shingo today also. Those pitches have some movement don't they?!

If it wasn't for the Konerko error and the fact Mike Jackson gave up a hit to the first batter he faced the game could very well have been a 1-1 tie in the late-late innings. Carlos Lee going for the first pitch with 2-0ut and the sacks packed didn't kelp the Sox cause either. I am sure Danny Wright will get another start. Imagine the confidence boost, if the guy can go 6 plus innings and win a game!

Stay positive dudes! I am hoping for the best from Danny Wright and a Sox win. I will be watching on WGN too.

The last thing you want to do is make a rash decision and rush players to the bigs. We have a very fine outfield right now with everybody contributing. J Reed is better set right where he is and gaining experience. Lee is not reverting to his old ways. The guy has improved every year and hustles his rear end off. Rowand is the only OF'er who might be replaced, but he deserve the chance to show what he has and I think he is coming along well also.

Give Joe credit. The man battles and comes through when we need him. I'll see you guys on WGN tomorrow.
