QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 06:45 PM) I luvvvvvvvvvvv breaks. When you put pressure on a defense, by taking walks, moving people over, or even hitting ground balls...you'll get a lot of breaks. Just like we have this year.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 06:30 PM) f***ING PABLO!!! You added the swear word & I thought something bad had happened.

Damn, guess there is. Inning over, 2 runs score. Gooch strikes out.

Come on Pods, they used up the Pitch out, time for #37. No way he gets 3 hits and 0 SB.

PODS!

He's paying too much attention to the runners...c'mon Pablo

Good work Joe. Going to right field...1st and 3rd em.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 06:11 PM) AJ is master of the blooper. How many times have you seen a couple of bloopers suddenly get a guy's confidence back and get him out of a slump? Let's hope A.J.'s figuring some things out.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 06:07 PM) He went 3 picks before Tyler Lumsden, so he's only been in the minor league system for about a year. Moved up very, very quick. A heck of a lot of the Royals team was in A ball last year. They basically are running their minor leagues for a big league team in most of the spots.

QUOTE(chi-guy2 @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 06:02 PM) i believe we are facing dj carassco, who is a righty maybe im wrong He's scheduled to go on Friday against Colorado.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 06:02 PM) Garland out of his rhythm this inning a bit. Sounds like the Ump is squeezing him a bit too.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 05:59 PM) Matt Stairs is always dangerous. It seems like he's always working the count. They keep saying that he's a first ball fastball hitter. Yet he hasn't hit any of those this series. Man, that shift worked to perfection.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 05:58 PM) I wonder if they will give Rowand 3 days off in a row. Tues. - Thurs. I figure tomorrow we'll have our normal outfield in and Everett will be DHing.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 05:56 PM) If Everett struggles so much in his career against Greinke, why did we play him tonight? Does anyone know what Rowand's career numbers are against Greinke? ArRow is 1 for 7 career against him. That 1 did not stay in the yard.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 05:55 PM) Not sure if I'm the only one, but I absolutely HATE the thinking and philosophy I've heard from Hawk, DJ, and some other members of the media about what type of average record the Sox could have the rest of the year, and still have "x" amount of wins. Sounds way too much like playing not to lose. I believe implied in that is the idea that we won't be playing .500 ball the rest of the year, and that we've put ourselves in great shape.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 05:54 PM) Sox need to get Greinke out of his rhythm. Step out of the box, call time, etc. Everett just did so. Middle of a windup.

Another 7 pitch inning for Garland there. 38 pitches for big Jon through 4. Guys in the bullpen? You're ok to take naps now. Rest up for...well Mark's pitching tomorrow...Rest up for that Cubs series!

That a web gem by Gooch?

Pods is the only batter who can hit this guy

4 strikeouts in a row for Grienke, 5 strikeouts the first time through the order

QUOTE(jerseysox @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 05:38 PM) i've noticed on this board that unless you're colon or santana, it's impossible for a starter to ever have a good game against us. it's ALWAYS our hitters. Yeah, but there are some people we should beat who somehow always seem to rise to the occasion against us. Some of that can't just be the starter having a good game. Some of that has to be our hitters making it easy for the starter to have a good game...taking strikes, swinging at balls, etc.

31 pitches through 3 innings for Garland. He's smokin'.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 05:33 PM) AJ is fouling off everything. That's a big improvement over him about a week ago...seemed like he was just hitting everything weakly. Still struck out though. Would love to see him get his average up to .280 or .290 like it was a few years ago.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 21, 2005 -> 05:32 PM) We're not gonna do much with the way Greinke is pitching. Is he pitching well or are our hitters being morons again and swinging at everything?
