rios makes zero adjustments at the plate. He took a normal long loopy swing on a ball 3 inches outside

god forbid we pinch hit for dye

much rather woulda seen kotsay there. Better matchup. Thomes too old doesnt have the bat speed anymore to catch up with that. Thats y u run for him in the 7th and we have a 3-2 lead now

3 pitches and to the bench

talk about out kicking your coverage stoney

id personally rather see kotsay here

well this is why we didnt run for Thome so hed better deliver

steal 3rd!!

ok i think we will win this game...im gonna try being optimistic for a change...lets go AJ!!

QUOTE (mooja @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 06:55 PM) nastymasty is right.. pods could've run and makes for a good DH too. eaxctly and I forgot pods was even on the bench. Wakefield/martinez combo is perfect to steal on especially for a perennial base stealer. Plus pods doesnt have to play the field. Havent touched wakefield all night and now we have 2 at bats to get a run across which is like climbing a mountain for this team. We have a tie game now if ozzie doesnt have his head up his a**.

and there is a run right there if we have a a runner for Thome

WTF. How do you not run for thome. We can steal on wakefield and martinez and get a runner in position. Unebelievable

pinch run for thome please

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 26, 2009 -> 06:48 PM) Bard is pretty nasty, but hey we hit him last time some. I know but I feel like our hitters have a better chance against him than wakefield

Another great pitching performance squandered. We need to get wake out of the game to have a chance. Bring on Bard at this point

refreshing to watch a guy like pedroia play. Re affirms there are still guys out there who hustle and give a sh*t

OVA. and least we dont lose any ground on Tigers, but Twins will leap frog us

so we starting 0-2 every at bat this game?

its just amazing the total disregard for situational hitting this team exhibits on a daily basis

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 08:52 PM) It's really funny and ironic that casual fans like me know enough to laugh at posts like yours. well maybe you should become more than a casual fan and open your eyes to what is going on on the field. The stats dont lie. We are in a playoff race. Kenny brought him over here to contribute and he is not...period

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 08:36 PM) Shown us nothing??? Clearly you and I aren't watching the same player. feel free to elaborate. Hes shown you he can catch a routine fly ball in the outfield? Competent outfielders do exist in the majors. Just so happens we havent seen one in years . I know he has shown zero with the bat

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 08:30 PM) Its never been this negative before. I think it was the worst its been earlier this season and its continually gotten badder as the weeks progressed. I don't care how good you are.....nobody is going to perform well in the face of so much "you suck" adversity. I need whatever it is you are smoking. Youre out of your mind brother

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Aug 25, 2009 -> 08:14 PM) honestly, i do. i think they can take the next two. I liked the way freddy pitched tonight as well. I honestly feel this team is battling to stay alive. Um battling? Who exactly?

this is toughest 2 games ive watched as a sox fan and pretty much summed up our entire season. We need drastic changes next year. only untouchables i say are AJ and Beckham for position players and our 4 starters and thornton
