Best #3 in baseball coming up right now.

I hope no one missed the fact that Neal Cotts was only asked to throw 1 pitch for a second consecutive game.

QUOTE(JimH @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 08:08 PM) Well I totally disagree with that, how can you not pinch hit Pierzynski there for Widger. That is totally f***ing stupid, unless he's afraid they'll bring in Walker to face him again. Either way, I would have taken my chances giving Pierzynski another shot vs. the lefthander. Completely disagree with that decision. Stop 2nd guessing. Jesus.

QUOTE(SoxnGiants @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 08:08 PM) Not that it matters, but Ozzie probably put Blum in because he's a switch hitter. Figuring there would be a pitching change if he put in AJ or Ross. Yeah, that's actually what I'm thinking. Did anyone check if Walker was warming up?

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 08:05 PM) I'm almost to the point that I'll be happy with anything outside of a DP. And there I f***ing go.

I'd even go with Timo now.

Carl's batting from his "power side." Sweet.

Somebody make this f***ing walk count.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 07:50 PM) TAKE HIM OUT!!! I'd be with you but the game is over anyway.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 07:35 PM) They almost definitely wouldn't make it then, with the way the Yanks and Red Sox are playing. I know, just being sarcastic.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 07:33 PM) Yah, but if we win 1, the Yanks lose 1, and Boston wins the series this weekend there is a playin game too I think. Doesn't seem too out of whack. If we only win 1 though, f*** it, I don't want to go. What's the formula for the Sox getting in if they lose all of their remaining games?

At the start of this series I was quite hopeful of a sweep. Now it's going to be a struggle to just split. How f***ing pathetic.

Yeah, that just about wraps it up.

If they score here, that's pretty much game IMO.

I can't even believe we're going to 7th inning having scored only 1 run against a guy with 6.94 ERA in September.

Now starts an epic for the Sox offense: try to score another run.

Bunt Widge.

This should be comical.

Another 2-out homer to a s***ty hitter.

O's lead 2-1. Going to the top of the 2nd.

I'll be the first to say it: Cy Robertson.

O's tie it up 1-1 on a Gibbons double. Runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 27, 2005 -> 06:25 PM) Yeah, if only we'd given up BMac and Jenks and gotten a bat. I'm Sure El Duque's in good enough shape that we won't need the backup starter this half, and BMac's probably overrated anyway. Yeah, clearly the only way we could have gotten a hitter was through giving up BMac or Jenks. I'll call you in December to see what trade offers KW has on the table.

It's a good thing we didn't mess up chemistry by making any changes at the deadline. Afterall, none of the other contenders made any moves either.
