Well, that could have been a lot worse, I suppose. AJ, Crede, Mack and Cintron to lead off next inning. Some of our best hitters late in the game. Sub Pablo in for Scotty and that's five guys I wouldn't mind coming up.

Too bad our World Championship team last year never lost a series.

Yup, Tim. Double steal with Ortiz.

QUOTE(Sox It To Em @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:29 PM) ... and threre's a base hit. What else is new? How we managed to have the second best record in all of baseball is beyond me. The best offense in the AL and the #4 pitching staff in the AL?

QUOTE(peanut33tillman @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:28 PM) Christ guys it's f***in baseball, sometimes s*** goes your way sometimes it doesn't...and yes our 3 4 5 hitters just douched us over but my god they're only human just relax and appreciate the monster numbers they have put up for us thus far, hell if not for JD that bases loaded nobody out bottom of the 7th would've been damn near meaningless...the starting pitching let us down once again along with the bullpen, it just isn't our day damnit Quiet! Common sense and perspective don't belong here!

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:26 PM) u cant even put the names dye thome konerko in the same breathe has ortiz and manny Yes you can.

¿Double play ball, Matt? Or just a K would suffice.

I will say, the bottom of order is usually the one to get it done close and late, not the middle. More close and late: Jim Thome: .189 Paul Konerko .216 Jermaine Dye: .286 AJ .313 Crede .275 Cintron .353 Mack .320 BA .412 Juan .267 Pods .276 Gooch .231

f***in A. Waiting for Papelboner I guess.

Tag team, please???

Close and Late: Jim Thome: .189 Paul Konerko .216 Jermaine Dye: .286 AJ .313 Crede .275 Oh...and BA .412 Use it, PK.

Tip of the hat.

Once more this atbat for good measure.

God, for 87 that looked quick.

Use it Jim!

Um, yeah. Not straight enough though.

Hmm....will it be a 3-0 fastball middle in?

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:08 PM) The scary thing is that I'm nowhere close to being the most pessimistic person on this site now. Yeah, but you're one of the few I like.

Use it, Tad.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:04 PM) Heads, I know you're being sarcastic. This game is not even close to being over. But aren't you sick of this team having to battle back from big deficits 3 or 4 times a week? I know I am. I know. I probably bring it on myself by coming in here. I'm the anti-fathom, in a word. I just have blind faith sometimes, and that makes seasons like last year a heck of a lot more enjoyable.

Use it, Alex

QUOTE(MinnesotaSoxFan @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 03:02 PM) so....how is it gonna feel being 3 games back? A clearly insurmountable lead at the All-Star break.

Good thing this game's over right now. We have no chance to come back.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 8, 2006 -> 02:59 PM) I'm telling you, outside of Jenks, our pitchers can't get that big strikeout to end the inning before any runs are allowed. It's pathetic the amount of hits we're allowing with 2 strikes. I'd throw Cotts in there for the most part.

I actually agree with what McCarver said. Jon did what he was supposed to. That's just tough luck that it was right in between Cintron and Iguchi.
