I'm convinced that if Freddy caught a guy running towards 2nd that he wouldn't have the velocity to throw him out.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 11:47 AM) don't worry, they never come around to score Plus it's understandable to pitch around the #8 hitter of an already terrible lineup.

Leadoff walk. Nice.

We better score some runs. I doubt Freddy will pitch deep into the game and we all know what the bullpen is capable of.

When you look at the averages for our lineup today we actually look like a respectable offense (minus Jones).

I love DP.

Curious if anyone here would have preferred to DFA Frodo instead of Nix.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 11:31 AM) Last night he was awesome in the OF. Carlos? Which game were you watching?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 11:30 AM) This, great defense but his batting .214 for a reason! It's not like Carlos is a batting title contender.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 11:29 AM) Andruw playing full-time? Scary... Maybe not full time but 2 or 3 games per week is fine in my book. Carlos might be the worst OF I've ever seen.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 11:28 AM) here's the guy i want to see get going. Would love to see him take CQ's spot in RF I think he already deserves to play out there more than Q.

Waste of $3.8M.

Ground out to SS.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 11:21 AM) nice inning freddy.....here we go....shoudl be interesting to see how manny runs Rumor has it that they will have a Segway right next to the batter's box and if he makes contact he'll use it to get to first.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 11:19 AM) Oh no, here's Hafner. He's hitting .480 off Freddy. Is that mostly off pre-injured Freddy? Back when he threw in the 90s.

Pardon my ignorance but whatever happened to Grady Sizemore?

67mph curveball. LOL

Please let it be good Freddy today.

They just need to sit on the fastball. He can't get anything else over the plate.

ALEX IS BACK!!!!

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 11:05 AM) there might be 2000 people at this game Talk about a lackluster debut for Manny with the Sox. Day game in front of a handful of people plus a pretty small TV audience.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 10:58 AM) If Garcia for some reason got blasted his next two starts, I wonder if they'd consider going back to the 4 man rotation like they did at the end of 2008? At that point, there'd be about 25 games remaining...but I just don't see them taking the risk with Floyd, Jackson and Danks of putting that much wear and tear on their arms. We already saw the aftereffects in the 2006 and 2009 seasons. And, even if they did make the post-season, the odds of being able to successfully sustain those pitchers throughout the postseason would be pretty low. Balta has posted several times the negative consequences of losing a day of rest for the starting pitchers. Without exception each of them see their ERA go up with less rest.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 1, 2010 -> 10:45 AM) I've heard rumors that Peavy might not be ready to pitch next year... am I crazy? Rumors from where? I read his progress was coming along just fine.
