QUOTE (scenario @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 03:57 PM) It's hard to tell how good/bad he has been in the minors this year. The team may have been having him work on specific pitches or working on control, etc. Remember, the organization's goal is not to wow AAA competition, it's to prepare guys for the next level. Good thinking.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 03:50 PM) I like this move. Having him start and then Carrasco out of the pen if needed is better than the reverse, IMO. I haven't been following the minors closely, but everyone says he didn't look good at all this season.

Dear lord.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 03:43 PM) Sweet. Can we just start him in the majors instead of OC? (sarcasm) Can't wait to see what he does and hope he is a big leaguer (maybe 3rd base or 2nd base) by 2010. Why is he always mentioned playing 2nd base, or 3rd but never SS, where he played in college? Congrats on the signing.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 09:27 PM) Anyone know why Tim Lincecum left tonights game so early??? I don't know if you found out already but he got hit in the knee by a line drive.

66-52 - 0.5 games over Twins

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 11:17 PM) Michael Phelps is really annoying. This has reached ESPN/Tiger Woods proportions. He loves the attention I think. He talks funny.

Followed by Pudge, double and NADY homerun! AWESOME.

Alex Rodriguez homers! Make it happen!

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 11:06 PM) Yeah, I think it's very likely most of them are under 16. But what does that say about them when 12-16 year olds are beating the s*** out of 16-20 year olds? I know jack about gymnastics but I think younger = advantage. Then again, we are loosing because of mistakes made, not the age difference.

I like how you guys are discussing this in the olympic thread. It is so clear those Chinese girls are under 16, I mean just look at them! KIDS.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 10:32 PM) Personally, I think Pujols is better than Alex Rodriguez. Maybe he can tie Carlos Quentin's shoes.

Extra innings at the dome.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 10:26 PM) They take drug tests every day. They demolished the 4X200 record. Hopefully we can score more GOLD medals than the Chinese.

Breaking world record after another. Damn steroids.

OFF RIVERA? DAMN IT

Yankees with man on the corners, no out, top 7th.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 09:20 PM) Just for grins, if somehow we lost this game would you give up being a fan forever? LOL, if Boston can give up 10 run advantage after 1st.. anything is possible.

Chris Getz with his first major league HIT AB and RBI. Sick son. OC the one getting him the ball.

This game is so much fun, BA doubles, and we get to see Chris Getz.

Look! OC having good time with teammates in the dugout.

KC looking awful out there right now.

Awesome inning, two pop up blooper doubles.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 12, 2008 -> 09:01 PM) Carrasco warming up? Strange! I hope they are not thinking about Broadway starting? He pitched last night right?

HAHA, what a blooper by AJ.
