Milkman delivers

QUOTE(Misplaced_Sox @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 04:10 PM) whats up with Thome's bat speed? Papelbon throws 112 mph.

I guess Thome can't hit fastballs?

Good work by one of our few reliable pitchers anymore. If the Sox can come back in this game, hell if they can even get 2 runs, this will be the best comeback of the year by far.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:59 PM) I second that, let Kenny Rogers pitch the whole game. He won't. Don't worry. He may be good, but nobody is as good as he's pitched so far. We're pretty deep into the season. I don't expect him to fall off magically just like the Tigers. Same way I don't expect the best 5-man rotation in baseball history to completely turn everything around over night.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:58 PM) No Heads, I'm not going all Chicken Little either...I'm still here, watching, and not annoiting Papelbon as Cy Young already for getting Gooch to popout. Looked rather ordinary to me, this team needs a few days off, I'd rather our pitchers not throw at all in the All-Star game. Haha, I'm not annointing him the Cy Young because he got Iguchi out. But thanks for making it seem like I did. I'm calling him the front runner for the Cy Young because he's unhittable. The numbers don't lie.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:57 PM) Liriano>Papelbon Halladay>Papelbon Santana>Papelbon Care for me to continue? If Gagne can get the Cy Young for his season a few years back, Papelbon should easily get it if he continues this pace.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:55 PM) Well, the Sox 3-4-5 have a shot to show a little something here today. I feel like I'm the only one who even cares.... We're all still watching, buddy.

QUOTE(AWhiteSoxinNJ @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:54 PM) We'll see how he fair's against the big 3 next inning pal. We sure will. But for us to come back in this one, we'll have to score more runs in an inning than he's given up all year. Yeah, that's insane. Can anyone argue against him getting the Cy Young?

Iguchi took the best pitch to lead off the at-bat. He could've taken that one yard. It's pretty safe to say this game is over. And Papelbon deserves the Cy Young this year.

Hasn't allowed a run on the road this year. Ridiculous...

Gonna need a miracle here.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:42 PM) Some of you folks need a break from watching this team or something...."waiting on all our pitchers to be FAs so we can get new arms", "after Schilling shuts us out tomorrow"...good lord. The starters need a break, too.

Crede comes through finally. Too bad there's nobody on base this time.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:38 PM) You are a very wise milkman. Aw, shucks ::wrings hands::

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 02:47 PM) Per Rotoworld Looks like Crede has a hell of a chance at getting in I thought he wasn't going anyway?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:34 PM) Too bad our World Championship team last year never lost a series. These are two clearly different teams. Last year was the kind that wins with pitching and defense. This year, we win with offense. We've seen how well that works from 2001-2004.

Boston took one 1 to surpass the damage we did with 3.

Ok ok, bases loaded and no outs for Boston. Who wants to bet they get at least 1 across?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:30 PM) Why is everyone concerned about the pitching? Coop can fix 'em. He's a miracle worker. See: Garcia, Garland, Buehrle, Vazquez.

QUOTE(G&T @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:29 PM) Well we CAN blame the offense, but you are right. THIS ENTIRE SEASON when the pitchers needed a good inning they've failed miserably. These guys can't get a third out without something bad happening. Fixed that.

We can't blame this one on the offense. When you have to bail out your pitching EVERY SINGLE GAME, you're going to fail once in a while. The pressure on the offense to win games for our starters EVERYDAY must be extremely heavy. To reiterate, the offense can't be expected to win EVERY GAME for us. The pitching has to contribute at some point this season.

Haha, oh man.

So many homer swings, so little to show for it so far.

Way to earn your money there. At least he didn't GIDP. Gotta have a positive attitude!

Just don't GIDP so Dye can have a chance, PK.
