Saint Beckham walks on 4 pitches. Dye up with 1 out.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 03:40 PM) BS got Nix'd I love getting proven wrong. That means the team is doing well.

2-0 Sox on a 2 run HR by Nix. 1 out in the top of the 3rd.

Nix!!!! Thank you for making me eat crow!

Hopefully Nix will take the bat off his shoulder at least once in this AB.

Gio on pace to pitch 11 innings.

Extremely easy 1-2-3 inning for Gio.

MLB's seems to be working OK.

Suzuki Ks. Top of the 2nd no score.

Hits into a DP to erase the leadoff single.

29 pitch AB for Rajai Davis.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 03:11 PM) .333 OBP, .815 OPS against LHP. You're right. He looked amazing in that first AB. I'm sure by the 5th AB he may decide to swing.

I can't think of a worse choice to lead off than Nix.

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 02:45 PM) Hopefully he juices up! Definitely a guy from 2005 that I expect to see on "the list".

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 12:51 PM) That's not a mistake. You can learn a lot about baseball from listening to Hawk. He and Stone are awesome. I'm starting to think you're on the Sox payroll or that you're actually Chris Rongey.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 12:39 PM) Why, when everyone else on the site is in agreement on something, is there always one person who refuses to see things that are incredibly obvious? This is no shot at Reddy, but there's always that one guy who goes against the entire site for some reason that nobody understands. In this particluar scenario it's mind boggling.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 12:34 PM) So, you're saying he wouldn't have imploded in a later inning? You know, as he has done his last few starts. Don't mess with Hawk's pubes.

QUOTE (hammerhead johnson @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 11:19 AM) LOL at Vick being remorseful about torturing dogs. Dude was lobotomized, just like many of the people that support him. Indeed

QUOTE (The Bones @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 08:32 PM) because I think everyone, including Mike Vick, knows what he did was wrong. I strongly disagree with this statement. Just look at some of the reactions in this thread. A lot of people could care less about what he did with regards to the dogs, including Vick. He was forced to make an apology. I don't think he was sincere and I've heard first hand from many people that dog fighting isn't a big deal.

QUOTE (SockMe @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 11:06 AM) hopefully we see Dan Hudson as the 5th starter ASAP Right now I'd take Rock Hudson's corpse over Jose.

At this point I'd be willing to give just about anyone a shot at the 5th starter over Jose. He has been completely ineffective for an extended period of time. 4-11 with a 5.40 ERA is not getting the job done. I'd be more accepting of him in that role if we were just playing for next year and not in a playoff race.

I tried creating one last year and it was so-so. A lot of guys didn't like that you had to scroll to see the entire board. I used the smallest possible font and formatted to fit as much into the screen at once but it still needed to be scrolled. We just ordered a draft board so it's too late to run with yours but I'd still like to see if you came up with a better idea. Can you shoot it over to me? Thanks! marko358@gmail.com

So nice to wake up with a surprising win. I was sure we'd lose by 5 the way things fell apart.

Happy birthday fellas!

I'd rather have a belly itcher instead of Jose as a pitcher.
