QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 09:38 PM) thanks for your input, but these are innings that Damaso could have used to get back in the strike zone. He usually warms up at least in this situation. But we bring on our long reliever???? hmmmmmm Ozzie put in the mop up man for a mop up situation but you're right, sounds suspicious to me as well.......

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 09:33 PM) I said it before the game. If we dont see Marte in the later innings, even warming up, the deal is going through. Doubt that.

Aj and Juan have really, really looked good the past few games, if they're starting to get themselves locked in to what they can do. Watch out.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 09:28 PM) I'm not worried about that. Look -- if this team can't put a little bulls*** "curse" -- or, excuse, is what I should say -- behind them, and beat Oakland -- then they don't deserve a shot at the ALCS. I'm with you on that. I'd prefer to play anyone else in the al but we can beat oakland in the playoffs, different game. That being said, I'm going to win my bet anyways, no need to worry.

QUOTE(Soxpranos @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) If they get wild card that will be our 1st round match up correct? At this point and time, yes.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) I can live with Jenks' growing pains. Bingo that's what I said before on that night where people exploded on Contreras. Bobby's still going to have some growing pains and we're going to have to live with them. That's the beauty of it though, bring him in during games like this and let him work stuff out at the major league level. Much better giving jenks those two innings to develop instead of giving shingo them. Once Bobby harnasses everything he's going to be special.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 09:14 PM) Jenks seems like he gives up his fair share of hits which seems strange for a guy with his stuff. Granted, he gotten out of most every jam but one. That ball was hit hard but so far he's had a lot of soft junk hit off him as well.

Man, it'd be so huge if Juan can get it going.

This is the first time we've seen Bobby pitch where he's out of the stretch no matter what, just a little side note there. He's really been getting ahead of hitters as of late, if he does that consistantly he's gonna be nasty.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 08:51 PM) damnit i bet iguchi would of had that Nope.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 08:47 PM) Sweeney 1b. Hit it right off the end of the bat.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 08:36 PM) Kong infield hit. Heh. 1st and 2nd. AJ is up. Wasn't an infield hit.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 07:15 PM) How about Mike Sweeney? I love that idea but it sounds like KC wants to hang onto sweeney.

The offense is relentless tonight. Good to see.

QUOTE(ceffa2000 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 08:14 PM) 9 runs sh K!! ould be enough for any pitcher to hold up against.

I sense another one of those "Freddy has no balls" threads at the end of this game. Two bad outings in a row for Freddy, he'll pick it up his next start.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 07:58 PM) Cmon. I want a sac fly. Sac freaking fly. Small freakin ball. There ya go.

Bases juiced, 1 out.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 07:51 PM) That's Willie's fault? I thought the RF'er is supposed to take charge and call him off, 'cause he has a better view of where the ball is gonna land...? Iguchi doesn't even get to that ball, but I digress... Jermaine didn't have a chance at that. I don't blame willie though, to be honest he probably had that collision with Maggs running through his head. Not many 2nd baseman make that play, if any.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 07:37 PM) I meant I'm giving up on the Sox trading for someone. Not on the team's performance. I know what you meant, it's funny though that you're giving up on a trade possibility for no reason.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 07:42 PM) His Spider-Sense is tingling tonight!!!!!!! Maybe that spider bite did give him some special powers.

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 07:40 PM) Good thing we had Rowand in that no. 2 spot, he's so great at situational hitting. Are we still gonna complain about the offense today?

Nice to have you back Spiderman.

That pitch was nasty.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jul 25, 2005 -> 07:36 PM) Greinke wasn't on his game tonight; hence the Sox offense is in the position it's in. Are we gonna hear how he didn't have great stuff today and we should have scored more runs on him?
