QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 03:39 PM) nope, 2nd. BS got Nix'd

Two innings in the book, no score.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 03:32 PM) teh ghey There should be exception for regional broadcasts. What sucks is Oakland could have changed the start time to later, so that it could be on TV. I guess you didn't want to upset the 5000 people still going to games out there.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 03:30 PM) It has probably been discussed, by why no TV? Fox blackout. If you aren't on Fox during the noon and 3pm Central time starts, you can't broadcast.

Sweeney with another hit. I think the guy is another Gomez, who can only hit against us.

This feels like a damned spring training game. I hate Oakland!

Only a Dye single in the top of the first for the Sox. No score after a half of an inning of play.

QUOTE (SnB @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 10:43 AM) good lord, i can't stand gin. I'm not a big fan of drinking something that tastes like a christmas tree. I want to know why you were tasting a Christmas tree?!?!?

Well lets hope we hit Gio like we did last time around!

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 09:36 AM) Are you referring to the insanely difficult play that Nix tried to make to this right, that only looked close because of his good range, which comes from him being a GOOD fielder? It was still an error, regardless of his range getting him there or not.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 02:33 AM) there was one blatantly bad error with q and rios fighting over an easy fly ball and dropping it. there was a chopper between first and second that could have been made but was ruled a hit and i dont think it was a terrible call by the scorer. also jose hit a guy on an 0-2 count. all that led to the 4 runs beings "gifts" as hawk called them. Jose wasnt as bad as his number but hes been too inconsistent lately. if he got one more start i wouldnt be against it but hes basically skating on thin ice right now. I love dj carrasco! ill take the win They also didn't score the play by Q in LF where he kicked the ball and everyone took an extra base on it.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 12:18 AM) Like a real CF No joke. He is just beautiful out there. We haven't seen a defender out there like this for a long time.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 12:17 AM) Watched some Little League World Series tonight and I swear the 12 year-olds are fundamentally better in the field than these guys are of late. Brutal is too kind a word to describe it. Like I have said all year long, it is the mental mistakes that are killing us. How can you get to the majors and not understand the game of baseball?

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 15, 2009 -> 12:14 AM) Thornton is just a machine out there. He makes it look easy. Alexei's coming up huge for this team while some of the big names continue to do nothing productive. Hopefully we saw Jose's last start tonight. Thanks for a strong Sox career, but it's time to hang them up. Jose would have looked a lot better if they didn't make four errors behind him.

God the defense was TERRIBLE. Nice to see the team stick in it. The pen was awesome.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 10:46 PM) There seriously needs to be a "Not drunk, Just Drinking" thread in here. A place to share thoughts over/about the evening's libations that lead to contentment but not capacity. I cracked into a 2000 vintage Sierra Bigfoot that has been quietly mellowing in the cupboard for ages. Still a big beer, but the mouthfeel is so malt-dominated compared to the in-your-face hoppiness of a young Bigfoot. I have at least one bottle tucked away from each year from 2000 until now. Maybe when the 2010 release comes out in February I'll have a 10-year side-by-side tasting. See? That's really boring drunk talk, but it's great drinking talk. There is nothing stopping a good threadjack as far as I am concerned. BTW, where do you rate Shiner Boch?

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 03:31 PM) Then reinvest that savings in a power DH that CAN play another position for IL/WS games Only following that would I be fine with it. By the time that they hand out raises to their arb guys, they are looking at pretty much the same payroll as this year.

Any report on Freddy's velocity and stuff last time around?

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 08:41 PM) I'd rather have Dye be the DH. Q-Pods-Rios I like Dye in right over Pods in center. Really it is pick your own poison.

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 06:33 PM) Why does he keep getting banned? And why does he keep coming back after getting banned? I'd be like screw you guys and all that stuff. He's pathetic and needs attention, which is why he keeps coming back.

Stoney said this morning on Sportsrise that the Cubs have 49 games left in this season, and they only play 12 against teams that are over .500 now. Expect them in the playoffs.

Any word on the other teams signing their top picks such as Strausburg?

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 06:55 AM) Apologies to those not interested, but for anybody else my institute's ship, research submersible, and chief coral scientist are out in the Gulf Stream doing some neat work on a deepwater reef system. Our Drugs From The Sea group found an obscure little sponge on these reefs that yields a metabolite that is showing promise as a potential cancer cure. NBC video link USGS is hosting daily mission coverage as well, if you want to know more about the cruise. Cure or treatment? Cure would be huge.

QUOTE (SAVVY18 @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 08:41 AM) Cleveland "fans" are known for throwing batteries as well. They had a story on-line about it the other day. They chased Rickey Henderson so shallow that they could only throw them so far that they landed at his feet...eventually, he got pulled from the game. The kings of the bandwagon fans...

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 10:06 PM) I love AJ-he has that "edge" that so few players in this town have. Doesnt try to be "loveable" and would do anything to help you win. I hope he finishes here-then stays on as a coach I think AJ would have a tough time as a coach. He would struggle with players who would not match his intensity, and who made repeated mental mistakes.
