Pods did well there, i have to give him his due

Pods will come through

Thome time

alright BA get the sac fly

We need rally Creed

Hopefully the ball will be really slippery for Maholm next inning, because the Sox are running out of chances

good morning, good afternoon, goodnight Pirates win this one

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 09:23 PM) Yes, when you play 6-8 bad teams an aggregate 50 times a year, guess what, you are not going to go 50-0. As long as the Sox win this series, we have nothing to complain about. The Pirates are a very competitive team at home. Yeah, a record of 18-21 is very intimidating Unfortunately, that first home run Freddy gave up essentially won the game for the Pirates, Sox seem quite content to let this one go and get out of the rain

here comes the rain

Great Gooch just took quite a hit on that run

The AL is too strong right now to simply throw games like these away. Every game counts, regardless of who you are playing

12 pitches for Maholm this inning = inexcusable

Le'ts hope Freddy and the defense can hold them to 2 runs, the game will be winnable. If the Sox cannot get 2 runs off Pitt, I will be speechless. But i guess once again, lefties are once against giving the Sox serious trouble

That was a good call and yes the Sox appear a lot slower ever since the arrived in Pittsburgh

Cmon Jermaine, we need to get something going here

offense really needs to wake up to settle Freddy down, pitching with the lead will help him out big time

Its never a good sign when a guy who has been in a vicious slump hits a HR against Freddy. They are making excellent contact and our outfielders are kiling us

Maholm is handling us pretty well so far, let's hope the second time through the lineup will be an improvement

Oh Pods, so close

Whatever you do, don't let Sanchez get on base Jenks

. . meanwhile in Minnesota, Liriano already has 7 k's through 5 on 57 pitches, very impressive

You can't get enough insurance

Thome comes through with the single

Its funny to watch the Tigers early in the game, they swing early in the count and swing at balls in a 3-1 count. Then, later in the game, they turn into hitting/walking machines, they aren't even the same guys you saw earlier in the game

Let's get some insurance runs here, the bullpen just might need them Torres can be hit, get to him
