QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 07:09 PM) The apathy in this forum is amazing, really... I'm pretty confident the Sox are going to win this game.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 06:35 PM) Beckham brain cramp but sets up a DP. Right.

Ugh Beckham.

Sox hitters should try to drive everything up the middle right at Joe West all night tonight. Would be a good approach to take plus give them all a little extra motivation to see who can actually hit West.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 01:48 PM) Teahen is not only a terrible baseball player, but he has no fit on this team beyond LH pinch hitter. If we make it he'll in all likelihood miss the postseason roster all throughout the playoffs, no matter what the Kotsay haters will insist. And Ozzie will be 100% in the right for doing it. I have to agree with this.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 12:03 PM) Is West going to be the home plate ump in this series? Because if it is...ugh. I'm thinking the same thing. He better not cost the Sox a win -- you know he'd like to.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Sep 11, 2010 -> 10:51 AM) He hasn't been bad - but he hasn't been a badass. Somewhere inbetween. =D I also hope that today marks the first Manny *SmackOb***** sighting. He's getting close. =) Once he blasts off - there aint no stoppin this train. f*** THE TWINS!!! He was doing just fine until Walker tweaked his stance so he could hit for power. I'm confident Manny will figure it out sooner rather than later. He may not hit for the power he used to but I think he'll still be an OBP and RBI machine. I just hope he doesn't feel pressured into hitting a lot of HRs because then he may fail.

Also, how often do you see the umpire make a pitcher remove a bracelet or a necklace? Yes, it happens from time to time, but was it just coincidence that they made Putz remove his bracelet in the eighth and Sale his necklace in the ninth last night? Or can it be that this crew is just looking for anything they can find to call on the Sox? I believe it's the latter. Supposedly Reinsdorf is buddies with Selig. It's time for JR to make a phone call.

People will complain that he's too fat the first time he blows a save.

AJ is Da Man!!!

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 10, 2010 -> 09:34 PM) Whew, wasn't sure how far that was off the bat. Hell of a clutch hit by AJP!! AJ coming on strong late in the season during a pennant race. He's got a lot left in the tank. I hope he's back next year.

AJ is done. They should have started Flowers.

QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 04:35 PM) http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/st...&pid=493364 Thanks. Looks like he did pretty well in his last ten games, by the numbers anyway. Hopefully he can help out some down the stretch.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 02:46 PM) Viciedo recalled. Can anyone inform how Viciedo performed after being sent back down? Thanks!

Give him a cortisone shot and he'll be fine in three days.....I hope.

Here is the Sox's revised lineup: Pierre lf Vizquel 2b Rios cf M. Ramirez dh Teahen 3b Quentin rf Pierzynski c Kotsay 1b A. Ramirez ss Garcia p

Beckham said the pain is jumping around and today is the worst it's felt in three days. They may have to look at it again. per Cowley

Beckham scratched per Merkin.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 05:22 PM) The boys are in the thick of a pennant race, a race for all intents and purposes we should have been out of, but Ozzie kept the team together... One can also make the case that we could have/should have been a couple of games up in first at this point. No one will ever know for sure....

I'm just tired of this team running into so many outs.

The reports of AJ's demise have been premature and greatly exaggerated.

Bobby Jenks is good.

How about a 2 run bomb by Pierre right here?

Nice job by Bobby. Now let's get some insurance runs and let Thornton finish it off.

Maybe Thornton gets the ninth??
