QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:22 PM) Very nice! Alexei should be bunting here. Maybe Marmol will throw it away? Good enough.

BALK!

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:22 PM) You gotta bunt with Alexei here. With a RHP up, I think you can run.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:21 PM) I run thinking you don't try for two straight hits here. You don't have to against Marmol. You just take the walk.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:21 PM) No way Jones should be batting here. Righties are actually hitting .180 off of Marmol. Lefties only .116.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:20 PM) Sad that Gavin puts in two great efforts with no offense at all. Bah, D1 deserves a few runs every now and then.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:20 PM) So do you run Juan hoping for a slider? It depends on the weather. I have no idea how good Pierre will feel in the mud. If Pierre thinks he can get a jump ok, but there's a chance he slips.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:19 PM) Who else feels like a piano is off their back now????? Raises hand.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:18 PM) Good point...I forgot Hill is behind the plate. I hate bunting here though with all the righties up next. Bunting against Marmol just strikes me as flat out silly. Especialy in the rain he's liable to walk you up to 3rd.

Hell of a game by Gavin, btw.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:17 PM) Kotsay should be batting for Jones now. Pierre can definitely steal against him. I don't know how the mud will affect Pierre's stealing.

THANK YOU JUAN!

First pitch was his best pitch to hit.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:15 PM) Cubs probably want Pierre to try and bunt. God that would be awful.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:13 PM) Eh, the corruption is already there, that's not going to be the new aspect. But now we have plenty of reason to keep 100,000 people dying there for the next decade. And paying $100 billion a year for the privilege.

Hell of a game by Floyd.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:11 PM) If we get no hit ... I will be speechless. I mean WTF. We'd won four in a row and the pop up syndrome returns against the Cubs. Wow. 6 groundouts, 14 flyouts so far this game for the Sox. Isn't lilly a ground ball pitcher?

That was a legitimate throwout.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:06 PM) Wow - that could change the situation over there drastically, long term. Mineral wealth has a habit of being as large of a corrupting influence as anything in a state these days.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:05 PM) Pierre/Kotsay, Jones, Ramirez to go. Can't say I have a ton of confidence. Kotsay and Pierre have the Sox's best career batting averages against Lilly. Kotsay is 4/9 career, Pierre is 4/13.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:05 PM) Pierre/Kotsay, Jones, Ramirez to go. Can't say I have a ton of confidence. Kotsay was on deck that inning.

106 pitches for Lilly through 8. Sox Hitters really helped him out that inning.

Nuck Fix.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:03 PM) What'd Gordon do? I came downstairs to type on the computer... s***. Tried to bunt and failed.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 13, 2010 -> 10:01 PM) Glad to see he is reading what everyone else is reading... The clock?
