Anyone see Olive almost swinging at Ozzie?

There you f***ing go.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 10:15 PM) I find it sort of funny the talk about how the Sox "don't deserve" to be in first right now. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Sox are currently on one of their longest road trips of the season right now, while Minny has been getting comfortable at home. They lost today, on the road, to a team better than the Indians. The Twins, already seeing the Sox had lost today, blew a huge game, AT HOME, against the worst team in the Central. However, they apparently are the ones that belong in first. Interesting. The Sox allowed the Royals to come to Chicago and take two out of three, the Sox got schooled by Minnesota and not looking good at all @ KC right now. We have been playing like s*** lately, our pitching is falling apart. The only reason we are still in first place is because Twins simply choke when they have a chance to take over. I didn't say Twins deserve to be in first place, and Tigers sure don't. It is interesting that some of us don't see that we are struggling. I find it sort of sad. EDIT: And Cleveland and KC are sporting very similar records, you can't say one is better than other, maybe against us they are.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 02:18 PM) Anytime this offense decides it wants to get going would be f***ing great!! I was just gonna post that. We keep on bashing Clayton (much deserved) but this offense has nothing.

Liriano has been allowing base runners for consecutive innings, if Ginter keeps it close we might get lucky.. AGAIN.

Maybe Junior can bring him home

I think CQ and AJ hang out too much

Monster shot.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 01:53 PM) people in the organization, everyone wanted this guy up The only thing that tells you is, that there really isn't anyone better down there right now.

Twins just scored.

Butler "Peanut Batter Glove"

Detroit is a .500 team. But yes, this game turned s***ty rather quick.

Way to throw it away Clayton.

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 01:34 PM) How did Billy "Peanut Butter" Butler go to 2nd? Wild pitch.

Junior

Great throw, good tag.

Great patience AJ.

It's just weird he gets the start after leaving yesterday's game with cramps over Thome who homered last night.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 3, 2008 -> 12:23 PM) I've searched everywhere for something that says Philadelphia would pick up part of the vested option. The only thing I have seen so far is Thome had $46 million left on his contract when the Sox acquired him and Philadelphia was sending $22 million to the Sox. I think the Sox will be on the hook for the full option if it vests, which it should if he doesn't get hurt. Maybe the whole ordeal about bringing in Junior is to limit Thome's PA? For example Junior is the DH instead of Thome for today's game.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 2, 2008 -> 08:06 PM) do the twins? tigers? Tigers for sure don't but if Twins loose the luck is obviously on our side. I missed the game today due to work, but I hear Mark was simply bad tonight. Let's win one tomorrow and take care of business at home.

So Tribe up 5-1 7th inning, do we even deserve to be in first?

So I missed the whole game because of work again, but nice to see Junior contributes right off the bat. What i don't know is how did he perform out there in CF? Than again, Javy (by his line) locked the Royals so I bet Junior didn't have a chance to show off? Can anyone spare some info on how he looked out there?

Sweet, thank you sir. Oh what a day it was.
