Tie game. Thank you, Mr. Crede.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 11:36 PM) That was nasty. Thank god it's only the top of the 8th and this is the Royals. Yeah, at least the offense still gets to face the Royals' BP.

0-2, lets get this out.

Oh STFU, DJ and Hawk. This Royals team is just not good, stop making excuses.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 11:32 PM) We have 3 errors this game. If we wanna do anything this year that seriously has to stop. They've made some good plays, but this defense has left a lot to be desired.

You don't win divisions by blowing late leads to one of the worst teams in baseball.

And now we've got a lineup with 4 fourth OF's in it to try and take the lead back.

Royals up. How many extra base hits for the Royals this inning? 4?

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 11:29 PM) I got away from the game for a few minutes. Then I saw the game tied. What the hell is Ozuna doing in LF with a 2 run lead late in the game. I realize it was Rob before, but... OZzie's infallible logic, that's what.

Big out. Keep it tied, MacDougal.

mother f***.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 11:22 PM) Haha.....good managing Ozzie. Not only that, Dye is out of the game now also. What a terrible manager we have....it never stops. Violation of #1 rule?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 11:05 PM) Frankly I'd agree about the option but I think if he gets 600 Ab's its because he's playing fantastically and in that case so be it. There's no guarantee that he'll have to earn them at this point.

QUOTE(HeGone33 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:58 PM) So, say we win tonight, and didn't blow 2 games in the 9th inning, we would have the best record to this point. Thats a pretty good feeling knowing the team has hit so bad. If the pitching keeps it up and if the offense becomes consistent, the Sox shouldn't have a problem winning this division. That's a couple of big "ifs" though.

plunk.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:54 PM) 5 Doubles, 0 HRs, and 6 runs. Nice to see. I...don't understand it. How can they possibly score without the HR? Without the lift-and-pull technique?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:53 PM) So who thinks this should be the regular lineup? Thome out of the lineup and AJ in the 4 hole. Thome just clogs up the bases! Too many walks!

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:50 PM) I'd hate to see what good contact looked like. He seemed to do a pretty good job with that pitch.

Nice, aggressive base running by Anderson, great hitting by Ersatd.

How 'bout that?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:48 PM) holy crap Ed says it was a good swing. Is this true? Pretty solid contact.

There we go, BA. Keep it up.

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:28 PM) So, I'm just joining in now, don't get CSN++ down here in champaign. I'm glad we were able to tie it back up, even though we still had the 1st inning woes. Kinda perplexed at AJ in the 4th spot though . The lineup is all sorts of messed up tonight. You should still get 670 AM down here, that's how I'm following the game.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:26 PM) I wonder how other organizations rate Anderson right now. Do they still see him as a potential starter? Would the Phillies take him for Rowand, a soon to be FA, straight up? His trade value is rock-bottom right now, I'd imagine.
