I hope Dan Bernstein is drowning his sorrows in a cocktail of Jack Daniels and Cianide (I know he says he's a Sox fan, but I swear to god he's a f***ing cubs fan) I hate that jackass

"THIS BALLGAME IS OVAH!" 10-1 edit: 4 errors LOL

thought they struggled against lefties? ah, must be lefties not named Mark Buehrle: APR19: 7IP, 12H, 5 ER JUN01: 6IP, 7H, 3 ER gross, we need to hope our hitters show up against kazmir

9-1 lawl

QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 09:27 PM) SHUT UP! 7-0 lol

6-0 in the 7th? this game is over

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 04:49 PM) This thread is a joke. Is this the same Richard that sports an era of over 6? He had a couple of nice innings in a game that we were trailing by 3 before eventually remembering he's Clayton Richard and loading the bases before being taken out. If he starts the game we still lose. i think you have a ridiculously selective memory

QUOTE (Hawkfan @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 04:29 PM) my hats off to him for saving our bullpen. Thats it. that's it? this was a f***ing PLAYOFF game, i don't think you're seeing the whole picture here

jesus cry more guys.

for those of you saying "just win one", what makes you so confident that the rays won't win both games at the cell? they've handed us our ass at home this year

QUOTE (rangercal @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 04:00 PM) Tampa got to him the 2nd time around, so I will reserve judgement on what could have been and give him credit for the 1 2/3 innings. They swung at the first pitch, that's not really "getting to him", more than changing their approach. I'm not ready to say that Clayton can't make adjustments himself

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:57 PM) Its easy in hindsight to say Richard should have pitched. But if he starts and gets off to a bad start the whole series could be over. With Javy out there even if he f***s up we arent going to potentially ruin a player. Richard could be a future player for the Sox, if he gets roughed up in his first play off game who knows how his career pans out. For better or worse the Sox put Richard in the best position to succeed and he did that. Now if he works off that maybe we will have a pretty solid LH bull pen arm for the rest of the playoffs and next year maybe a quality starter. It's not hindsight when you said you wanted him starting before this game even began

What an outing by Clayton, in the post-season no less. He had 5 K's in the first 1 2/3 innings that he pitched. Sick Imagine if he had started the game.

QUOTE (griffey17 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:54 PM) 5:07 pm our time my media guide says 8pm CST......

Balfour has no movement on his fastball and it tops out at 95 i think why is he unhittable again? he's throwing darts

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:48 PM) oh well,lets get em tomorrow since we have a pitcher that doesnt s*** her pants...now on to politics to watch Palin make a complete idiot of herself. not to derail but when is that on?

QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:43 PM) Ozzie didnt have a choice. Javy was going to start one way or another. Its better we attempt him in game 1 and realize he 'officially' sucks now than say in a pivitol game 3 or 4. Buerhles, Danks and Floyd all have 4 days rest now, something they desperately needed. Our pen did very well. I like our chances in game 2, 3 and 4! We'll bounce back. We have to win 1 in Tampa, and tommorow is our best chance to do that. Bull, start clayton, I wanted clayton starting this game last week, I didn't like the matchup, the rays own right-handed pitching, and Javy has been absolute s*** in his last 2-3 starts this game had wipeout written all over it, starting with the words Javier Vazquez Clayton absolutely dominated the Rays, imagine the outcome if he started the game and we go to our bullpen a little bit earlier ugh

f*** Javier Vazquez, and Ozzie Guillen, total dumb s***s. I'm furious right now, we could've won that f***ing game as surprising as it may be, the neutralizer was Javier Vazquez starting

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 03:37 PM) This proves the makeup of the team isn't right. YES, Javier is junk and should be jettisoned as soon as possible, but it seems the only way we score is with a homer. Our leadoff hitter sucks, we have very little speed. Buehrle will need to come out firing for game 2...And the book on Kazmir is be patient, he'll use a LOT of pitches. If we play it smart we could get him out of the game early even if we dont score (Ive seen Kazmir pitch 5 innings and have 110 pitches while giving up only 1 run, he's NOT economical). The VERY SAD thing about losing this game is they didn't beat our best...They beat a bum pitcher...I have more respect if they beat one of our other guys, but beating Javvy Vazquez PROVES NOTHING and Im sure the talking heads will be saying how wonderful Tampa bay is, but we gave them this game basically...we ran out a total stiff to start this game. If they beat Mark and Danks, then Ill tip my cap to them...but for tonight foogem. This game is on Ozzie for starting that piece of s***. We all knew Javier would piss his f***ing leg, we have been saying it for the last two to three days, there was a whole thread dedicated to the fact that he was starting this game. He had no chance against the Rays tonight, and Clayton had come off two strong outings against GREAT offenses, AND is a left-handed pitcher. AND THEN he comes into this game after Javy blows it, and OWNS THE f***ING RAYS. f*** you ozzie guillen, you put this team in the position to LOSE right out of the gate

Game Ozzie is a f***ing moron for starting Vazquez, period. You won't convince me otherwise, especially with how Clayton handled himself f*** you ozzie guillen, this game was winnable with simply a better starting pitching performance

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 02:23 PM) pathetic hitting display yup

if i remember, we handled kazmir relatively well last time we faced him i hope mark shows up tomorrow, looks like we're going down 0-1

QUOTE (G&T @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 02:18 PM) We need a 4th starter. Humor aside, we already have one according to Kenny Williams unless he's dealt

we're lucky to have 3 runs

Richard will have post-season experience next year 5th starter?
