Dammit, Olivo is back in the lineup. Maybe some time off for Manimal can teach him not to swing at curves in the dirt. Good lineup though, should be like this from now till the end of the season.

Jim Hendry must of been spending long nights on the phone again...................... . What a horrible trade. That article is good at pointing out how capable Martinez and Grudzilanek are of playing second base. No matter how vital you think these players are, it really disrupts your clubhouse chemistry to constantly be adding players and switching positions. How can your pitcher feel confident on the bump when he doesnt know half the infielders behind him? Hendry seems to be quick on the trigger, willing to add anybody at a moments notice. Whats even worse is nearly all these acquisitions: Womack,Lofton,Simon,Ramirez might not even be there next season. I realize the same situation could be said about Alomar and Everett, but Kenny Williams moves were made to fill obvious gaps in our lineup. The Sox moves were seen as ligitimate, rather then a move for the sake of making one. :fthecubs

Frank reminds us all of the eddie guardado at bat in the Twins series with that one. Great win for the Sox, and Frank does yardwork twice; just like that game too. We needed this win with Kc losing 11-6 in the 9th. Heres to the Sox. 2 games out

How one inning can change everything. Sox go from no hit to tie game. Im looking for a W this game. Momentum going our way.

TIE f***ING GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Robbie should get a standing ovation.

Game over. Dont expect a comeback, these guys are done. Cant take any opportunity to gain ground on KC Sox dont deserve to be in a divisional race.

If i was Buehrle I would be b****ing out everyone on that dugout. Cant get one hit............atleast Carl took one in the leg.

f***!!!!!!!!!! Sox becoming more of a joke everyday they play.

This is f***ing bulls***!!!!!!!!!!!! How can the Sox not play with more enthusiasm knowing NY is beating Kc and they can gain a game on them. Games are winding down, and you dont want to go into head to head matchups with KC and expect to sweep them. Corpseball muthaf***ers better get something going.

Sox better start getting some runs on this board, perfect game through 4. Bulls***.......

Lee faking a bunt, whos he fooling.

Wheres the link for the chat.

6-2 NY Top of the 5th............games moving pretty quick.

Buehrles got his shizznit tonight. Nice play by konerko

POPS HIM UP..............Franks retired Sox go 1,2,3. Looks like another pitchers duel is in the works.

Great inning by Buehrle. Couple of soft liners and a groundout. Kc scores one more, still trailing NY 6-2 top of the 4th.

1 out single by Owens. Please buehrle, just get through this first inning without giving up a run.

LIMA TIME IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!! Ny beating Kc 6-1 bottom of the 3rd. Hopefully there will be another picture of Lima making another dumb face..............as his team LOSES.

It was definately the ghost of babe ruth that made Cust trip only 4 feet from homeplate. I couldnt believe it when I saw the clip on Sportscenter. The funniest part of the sequence was when Cust was tagged out after tripping, and everyone in the Orioles dugout are holding their heads in disbelief.

As far as tinkering lineups go, this one is the worst examples I've seen in awhile. Sandy Alomar, Thomas, and Ordonez are the only ones in their usual spots in the order.

Don't count on it. Can somebody tell me the rationale behind this lineup for the sox. Graffanino, 3B 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .265 Alomar, R, 2B 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .262 Thomas, DH 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .260 Ordonez, RF 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .319 Lee, LF 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .282 Everett, CF 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .280 Konerko, 1B 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .231 Valentin, SS 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 .241 Alomar, S, C Why isnt Alomar leading off? Why isnt Lee in the 2 spot? What the f*** is paulie doing in the 7 spot? Would it of been to difficult to place graffanino in credes 8th spot and leave everything like yesterday.

I will keep believing in this team until its statistically impossible for us to win first place. Being tied for second with the Twins worries me, but once again there is a perfect opportunity for the Sox to gain ground on KC; who are facing the Yanks at Yankee Stadium. LIMA TIME returns
