QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 05:51 PM) I thought he gave up 8 runs the way everyone is reacting... :headshake Well, his ERA is over 8, so maybe they are just assuming.

Time to find a 5th starter.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 05:41 PM) His run support is only 2 runs? Against Johnson that's all we can come up with? I'd worry a lot if that were the case. Johnson's a pretty good pitcher. Best on their staff, which is 5th in the league in ERA I believe. So with the way our offense has been hitting, 2 runs might be all we get. But I agree. That won't be enough.

Hit Hard.

We'll take it!

Good job Joe Joe. Way to stay on the pitch.

That woulda been on Cora. He basically forced him to go. Haha.

LOL. Carl was truckin.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jun 29, 2005 -> 05:19 PM) Before that AB, PK was hitting .154 with 2 outs and RISP. That number is going down. And Frank hasn't been good with RISP either. Not good for your 3 and 4 hitters.

Good job Frank and Paul. At least Iguchi hit it hard.

Frank is scufflin bigtime. Killin us in that 3 hole of late. He's down in Crede territory.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 07:26 PM) Is anyone getting worried about our offense? Detroit has like the 5th best ERA in the league. And that's with 2 horrible 4th and 5th starters. Prior was awesome. Really Saturday was the only bad bad offensive game.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) I agree with Jim. Hope that KC takes one out of three. Anything else is just spectacular. I think KC taking 1 of 3 would be spectacular. I think KC taking 1 of 4 at home next week against the Twinks would be just as good. Twinks have 3 incredibly easy series til the break, with a tough one against LAA in between.

I'm telling you guys. No need to even watch the Twins/KC series. KC is so bad. Especially on the road. It'll just be frustrating to see them get run after run after run.

What a play.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 06:40 PM) Widger is falling back to earth fast. He won few games for us early on so if he just plays decent defense we'll be okay I think.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 06:31 PM) there's absolutely nothing he could do there. What are you talking about. THere was a ball hit into right field. That means DYe must automatically catch or he sucks on defense.

QUOTE(soxhawks @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 06:24 PM) that is to be expected Yep, you might as well go ahead and give them 3 wins against KC this week. KC is awful. There is no way they get a win. The fact that the Dodgers and KC suck are the reason that we had an 8 game winning streak. Now Minny gets to taste some of that

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 06:18 PM) Good job by Pods there. Nice to see a run scored without it being a homer. Nice to see a run scored period.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 05:50 PM) In absolutely no way is this a sky is falling statement, but if we don't play solid baseball this week, we'll be lucky to have a lead over 5 games over the Twins. I would say it is a good bet that we will be around 5 1/2 to 6 1/2 up at the end of the week. Just a matter of scheduling. Twins should win every game this week, while I'd love to win 3. 6 1/2 would be a real feat I think at this point.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 28, 2005 -> 05:44 PM) The Sox are doomed. Oh well, maybe next year. Haha. Obviously thats not true. Just seems like its fitting that when we are about to pull away from Minny they get six against KC and Tampa while we play at two places where we have struggled in the past. And if we lose 4 games this week, its not the end of the world at all, im just saying don't be surprised.

Ugh. Figures that we stop hitting as we go into a series at Detroit and at Oakland, where will will have to throw McCarthy against their best pitcher, all while Minnesota gets the pleasure of being the next team to sweep KC and Tampa. I'm not sure I want to think about what our lead will be in a week.

2 full games, 18 straight innings, without a run.

Frank's looked very rough of late.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 27, 2005 -> 06:42 PM) I will consider the Sox lucky if the Twins lose 1 this series. I'd consider us lucky if they lost 1 game all week. What do you need for a losing streak? Sxi games against KC and Tampa Bay and then another 4 games against KC next week. They'll win 5 or 6 this week and if we go 3-3 our lead goes back to 6 1/2
