The dreaded lead off walk.

Wow, didn't see that coming.

This is getting ridiculous, I don't care if we got lucky this time. Nice job Jim!

He gone! Three Ks in a row! EDIT: Must not let Javy instill false hope....

Anybody notice a difference in Javy's delilvery? Seems he might be following through differntly, though I could be just looking too hard.

QUOTE(soxunited @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 03:16 PM) all the canadian networks refer to him as "doc" OK, just wondering, thanks.

Is Hawk the only one who calls Roy Halladay "Doc?" He seems to use to exclusively. I've never heard anyone else use it. Yes I understand the Tombstone reference.

And then shades of '06 come crashing right back in.

Ah, shades of '05, how I missed you.

Wiiiiiiiild pitch.

Strange to see a starter exclusively use the stretch. I remember Garcia reverting to that one game earlier this year though. Close pitches already not going Rosario's way.

This is someone's avatar, I had this as my desktop background on my old computer a few years ago before it died, and I never found it again. If anyone can help me out with this I'd really appreciate it, I love this picture:

It used to be almost ridiculous the amount of emails Hawk would run through during games this year, but now it's abruptly stopped? Why is that? Is it because somebody is now sponsoring the Email of the Day? That is dumb if that's the reason. I don't know when exactly this stopped, but I just noticed it in the last week or so. Maybe Hawk doesn't looove email anymore.

How does Vazquez "earn" pitching deeper in games at this point? He earned going out there in the 6th yesterday because there was no sign that he would implode. Just as he did in his last start. He's just a five inning pitcher at this point. I agree with putting McCarthy in the 6th-7th, but if Ozzie does that and McCarthy implodes, we would all complain that Vaz was doing just fine and needed to be left in there. Well, maybe WE wouldn't be saying that.

Carlos Lee has now been mentioned on the Score as another trade rumor???!!!

Is Brook Fordyce still playing? Or is there a softball league we can resurrect him from?

Good end to an inning that could've set the tone. Over/under on pitches for the Sox in the 2nd=15. QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 20, 2006 -> 12:42 PM) Over/Under for the number of pitches we see this inning. I totally didn't see this before I posted!

Wow, how does Granderson only have 7 SBs this year? I thought he was fast? He'll have like three today against us.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 19, 2006 -> 06:57 PM) Another week of slumping, and this place will turn into tejadatalk.com. I'm surprised it hasn't started already, with all the trade rumors already circulating.

I'd kill for Uribe to take a pitch once in awhile.

Am I blind, or is there no more espn gamecast? I just used it last week when my cable was out for a bit, but now all I see is RealTime, but you have to be a member of espn insider. Forget that.

My wife, after less than a week of getting them for me while I work in a town that isn't considered the Chicagoland area, got tired of doing it and was able to persuade the 7-11 worker to sell her the rest of the set that I needed, so I proudly am displaying the whole set now. It looks real nice! Who's today's ball, does anyone know? I put them in a random order, but want to see how accurate I was.

Undefeated on Sundays thus far too. Love the "classic" lineup out there today.
