QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 05:07 PM) im in oxford, england, its 11:00 pm, and im starving. but i dont care, im not leaving until this game is over I went to Oxford on a scholarship.

I think the White Sox are going to win it here.

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 05:04 PM) didn't those come against KC? 3 against KC. He's also been outstanding against Cleveland.

Pods needs to get rid of the flippers. He has more problems with the sun that any OF I've ever seen. Get him some Oakleys

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 04:59 PM) Dye was charging at him and almost passed him, would have if he sat on third to tag up. Dye wouldn't have passed him. His eyesight appears to be fine. I just don't think Dye tagged up either. So really Dye wouldn't have scored that inning.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 04:57 PM) This game should already be over. Mack would of never been up to bat. This is on Gload and his inability to recognize a situation that they teach you in pony league. When the ball is in the air, make sure you tag up at 3rd. If it falls you skate in anyways. Did Dye tag up?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 04:55 PM) The matchup. I think if he can hit Schilling, he can hit Timlin. It just seems almost everytime the Sox pinch hit and weaken their defense, the ball starts heading towards that weakness.

Anderson has hit well today. I don't understand hitting for him in a tie game. If Mack is retired, the defense takes a huge hit.

If Ross Gload ever pinch runs again, I'm breaking my TV.

Ross Gload needs to be waived immediately.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 04:49 PM) I like the call. I was actually thinking of that same situation prior to Dye's AB. You can't risk it there. But if they throw through, Dye would be standing on third.

Nice comeback. Twice today. This would be a huge victory.

The shadow may come into play.

He's called that a strike all day.

I wish they would PR a guy who could swipe second.

Manny being Manny.

Timlin has been known to cough up a lead.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 04:40 PM) I hope they bring in Seanez. According to Gammons, KW wanted Seanez instead of Riske when he dealt Lopez.

Thome has never hit this guy. Hopefully, he'll let him walk him.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 04:33 PM) Same thing happened last year. That's the only saving grace I can see. It's just amazing how every button Francona's pushed this series has worked out. Maybe he'll leave his closer in for his 3rd inning of work.

Both Paplebon and Jenks allowed runs in the same game. You could have gotten pretty good odds on that.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 9, 2006 -> 04:29 PM) Is Pods playing Loretta on the warning track? He should have had an easy play at the plate. Probably. He played Juan Pierre against Cotts in the same place he set up for Derrek Lee last week.

Once again, Ozzie leaves a pitcher in too long.

Prior's hurt again. What ever happened to Wade Miller? Hendry was supposedly a genius for signing him. He was going to be back in May.

QUOTE(letsgoarow @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 05:18 PM) i work for the Braves (minor league team).... and i heard that Andruw said he would retire before he would get traded Talk is cheap. No way he retires when he's making $13.5 million a year.
