Milkman delivers

QUOTE (scenario @ Sep 13, 2008 -> 11:22 PM) I can't believe what I'm reading in this thread. IMO the quality of the booth just improved 1000%. Not only is Stone MUCH more interesting than DJ (not even comparable)... He seems to make Hawk raise his game... no small feat. Count me as a huge fan of this move. I don't think anyone said they're not a fan of getting Stone into the booth. That is clearly an improvement. I think people are angry that DJ is the one to go, and Hawk gets to stay and continue to suck.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Sep 13, 2008 -> 06:43 PM) i cant believe people have such strong feelings either way get a grip People have such strong feelings because we all watch a lot of games, and therefore, we have to listen to these guys all the time. I can't believe someone wouldn't have a strong feeling either way.

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 13, 2008 -> 05:20 PM) If it turns out that Hawk ran DJ out after running Wimpy out, I'll be pissed. The guy is a hack announcer. He must have pictures of Reinsdorf of Boyer or who ever makes the decision. I wouldn't be surprised in the least if that were the case. And it also wouldn't surprise me if he turns around and starts taking jabs at DJ next year.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 13, 2008 -> 04:01 PM) f*** this. Stone is great, but DJ deserves better. Yeah, they should f***ing get rid of Hawk. DJ is the better announcer of the two, and it's seen when he does broadcasts on Fox, when he doesn't have to be that piece of s***'s lackey. I like having Stone come into the booth, but I'd much prefer him to be paired with DJ.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 11:35 AM) Totally agree. Loved Casino Royale. Anyone going to see Righteous Kill? I just got back from Righteous Kill. It wasn't very good at all. That's saying something considering it stars Al Pacino and Robert De Niro.

s***, I have to go. Sorry, knight, kj's gotta take over.

Thome K's looking.

I find it funny that they just gave a breakdown of Thome's "hits to the OF." Has Thome had an infield hit all year?

Lead off single by Dye.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 08:01 PM) I guess to me that means the Sox are close, and not as clueless as "having to run into one". You hit enough of them hard, a few will find the seats. But, those three "almost" homers were probably the only three balls hit even relatively hard (or hit at all).

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 08:02 PM) Two pop outs to LF? Yessum.

Ground out, easy 1-2-3 for Gavin. It looks like a lot of the Blue Jays are trying to go yard.

Pop out to Wise in LF.

Pop out to Wise in LF.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 07:57 PM) Granted, I'm listening on the radio, but by my count the Sox have "just missed' a HR 3 times already this game. Exactly. We're getting close to some homers, but looking pretty ugly if not. We need to actually connect on some of them, ha.

Inning. It's becoming pretty clear that we have to hope someone on the Sox just runs into one, and that Gavin throws a shutout.

Uribe looked like a fat, autistic kid in that at-bat. It wasn't a very good at-bat.

Gavin pitches out of it. He looks pretty solid through three innings, despite not having his great stuff.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 07:49 PM) has any sox pitcher had more errors made behind him than gavin? It has to be him or Buehrle.

Is Scutaro the guy who hit the walk-off homer against us a few years ago? It was the one in Oakland where DJ said something along the lines of "Well, the good news is that ____ hasn't hit a homer since September of last year." And then, whoever it was hit a homer, and Hawk said, "He has now..." in a really pissed off tone. It may have been Durazo. Error on Uribe.

FAN ON THE FIELD.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 11, 2008 -> 07:38 PM) If you'd like there are other post-padders who can take over the PBP for ya :-P No thank you. Maybe after I leave. Useless Swisher grounds out. Inning.

Griffey walks, and Swisher comes to the plate with men on first and second.

Alexei steals second. I'm trying to post as much as possible before I have to leave in about an hour so I can get closer to 10,000. Ha.

AJ flies out pretty deep to CF. I'm actually surprised Hawk didn't tell it to stretch.
