QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 06:50 PM) These games would be a lot easier to take if the Indians didn't win seemingly 80 percent of their games recently. Remember...once again, they have by far the easiest schedule in the AL the 2nd half, at least amongst the Wild Card contenders. That's why that sweep of them earlier this year was so damn huge. I think Minnesota gets a shot at them this weekend.

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 06:50 PM) inning/score? Top 7, 3-2 bad guys.

Cotts and Vizcaino are up in our bullpen. DAMNATION!!!! He gives us 2 walks and we can't get a bloody run across. I'm going to go break something.

Sisco is up and ready in the bullpen...

2 walks this inning...man we've got to make this guy pay now. Come on Uribe...how about you extend your hitting streak against this guy.

3rd strikeout of the day for Rowand...that deserves some groans. Come on Dye...we need ya here.

France...Konerko will take a seat... Come on ARow...no more strikeouts...do something to get that runner moved over.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 8, 2005 -> 06:36 PM) Another quality start! That'll work Freddy! In all seriousness though...if you're a playoff team, you shouldn't have any difficulty winning most of your games when your pitchers throw quality starts...there's really very little excuse for not being able to at least score 3 runs against most pitchers in this league. The dreaded leadoff walk...Carl thanks you for the help...now Paulie needs to extend that hit streak.

Come on Carl and Konerko...get something going this inning.

This is the first lead for the Royals this series. Aw nuts...thank you ARow.

3-2. BLOODY HELL. That was one fast turnaround. Maybe we shouldn't have given Freddie those runs...he forgot how to pitch when the game wasn't tied.

Now the steal of home looms large...ground ball...2 outs...2-1 game. Ends a 15 2/3 scoreless inning streak for Sox pitching.

17,701 is the paid attendance for tonight.

He's clearly saying he wants Pablo to keep some playing time at 3rd when Crede returns.

I just have to preserve this line from Gameday... Bottom 5TH B:2 S:0 O:2 With Tadahito Iguchi batting, Pablo Ozuna steals (13) home. How many other teams have had a steal of home this year?

I tell you what...we worked damn hard for those 2 runs...now Freddie can have a little bit of flexibility. I'm vastly less nervous now.

April 25th of 2003, Brian Daubauch stole home...last steal of home for the Sox. Man, there's a name I hardly remember.

Man, I was just about to ask if we had tried stealing home or running a double steal with guys at 1st and third this year, Pablo cut me off. ENJOY THAT ONE CORE!

PABLO STEALS HOME!!!!

A non-circular number on the board! PODS! PODS! PODS!

Oakland is up 7-0 on New England in the first quarter... Wow, giving score updates from a different sport...I feel so wierd...

Yay...2 baserunners in an inning again! (Does a happy dance)

So...how do you think the guys from here sitting in the bleachers are reacting to us being no-hit through 5 innings? I'm surprised I can't hear the word "Corpseball" echoing into the crowd noise mic.

NOBODY BEATS HIM BECAUSE HE'S THE WIDGE!!! Thank you Chris. Thank you thank you thank you.

Please God...just 1 hit...do not get no hit by a guy who came into the game with an ERA over 7.
