Funny that the only innings I feel like we'll score now are those with Alex batting.

Some ugly swings by PK tonight

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 07:46 PM) He's been great against LHP Left-handed pansies?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 07:43 PM) yeah, I was kind of wondering about that too. Wouldn't you at least want him as a defensive replacement at this point? That's the bigger concern for me

Get Omar the f*** out of this game already

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 07:37 PM) Sale might not be available after going long last night. With a 6 man rotation, it's not like Ohman is a long man. You've got plenty of arms still. Way too early to be concerned about extras at this point.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 07:36 PM) That was good managing that inning. Hardy is the more dangerous situation than Pie, so he kept the righty in. That's not something Ozzie was doing a month ago. I was not concerned about the match ups I am concerned about Jesse's pitches adding up...you just pointed that out yourself.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 07:34 PM) As he should. This is the first reliever still in the 8th inning!

That was strike 3

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 07:33 PM) Ozzie's anticipating an extra inning game, in my opinion. Well we won't get there if he's going to mismanage the f*** out of his bullpen.

What is the issue with Matt Thornton right now?

QUOTE (soxsider11 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 07:26 PM) Eh maybe a with a righty on the mound. Never know and i think the right baseball move was to bunt but with us he prolly would have popped iit up Well, Rios is our hottest hitter right now and so I like the aggressive play. I know if I'm the opposing manager I would not be walking Adam Dunn no matter the situation right now.

Gordon is just swinging wildly since that home run Monday.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 07:24 PM) I think they would have walked Dunn if Rios had put runners on second and third. No one is going to walk Dunn right now, my friend.

Dunn is just pressing way too much. DL him for two weeks already.

QUOTE (soxsider11 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 07:22 PM) Why not? 8th inning tie game to put winning run on third? Because the chances of Dunn striking out are tremendous.

Wow....Alex...

Do not bunt Rios

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 12:07 PM) OPS with the Blue Jays, one "Alexis Rios": 2006: .865 2007: .852 2008: .798 2009: .744 Gulp...

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 11:24 AM) Humber has really fallen off the last month. Here's hoping he turns it around for the stretch beginning tonight. Both starters look like they've been struggling. Let's hit the half-dozen! He's still pitched fairly well, just been victimized by a few bad innings... I'm pretty excited for this one tonight....and hopefully the Indians and Tigers go 13 again...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 12:31 PM) He'd get claimed by pretty much any playoff team. The Yankees would kill to have Matt especially. If we really tanked and decided we wanted to cut bait, we could probably shed a lot of salary by putting Matt, PK, Quentin, Danks, MB, etc., on waivers... It's not a particularly efficient manner in which to trade players, as you get limited to dealing him to the team that won the claim (unless of course he clears, which none of these guys would), but it would buy you an extra month to see how things shake out divisionally.

Wow...seems pretty obvious that they were cheating...may seem harmless since they haven't won s***... But my guess is this may have help Alex Anthopolous ditch Vernon Wells' contract just a bit... Slimy...

I'm just waiting for DA to find this thread...

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 11:26 AM) It seems to work well for the Patriots. If you remember, the first game they played on it against the bears was after an insane snowstorm, and it played pretty well. Soldier field has heaters under the sod IIRC, so it isnt as if the field turf would just freeze and that is that. It is just so maddening and frustrating. The Bears have been at the bottom in field quality pretty much since they installed the grass, and the same things are tried over and over. Replacing sod 5 days before a game in sub zero weather is not an ideal strategy to deal with the situation, the sod is not going to take, and it will just be ripped up and replaced shortly after gameday. If they need to copy the Packers with their hybrid field, so be it. Just do something different, because status quo has failed miserably Maybe that's why the Packers had so many players on IR last season...their dangerous hybrid grass!

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 10:09 AM) Are all WGN Sox games broadcast nationally? I think Cubs games are, but I know that Blackhawks games are limited to WGN Chicago. Yes, I watch them here in Vegas.
