Gotta tip your cap to A Row. He's gaining confidence. He always plays hard. Doesn't do anything GREAT, but he does a helluva lot of things very, very well. DO NOT TRADE AARON ROWAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you gotta love A Row

Borchard should have two hits today

Amen. McGriff and Olerud are both finished. Why not bring back Dan Pasqua and Lance Johnson why we're at it?

no thanks to Tony Pena today. Twins thumped 'em

i'm smelling a four-game sweep. hope not. But I don't like the way this game is going -- or the pitching matchup tomorrow

In fact, it's 85 through four innings. One inning, maybe two more. Cliff Politte time coming

his pitch count is already in the 80s, according to Rooney and Farmio

McGriff was out of gas two years ago. Pass.

Nomar, anyone?

freddy needs to pitch like a Number One starter and stop the losing streak at two.

i'm having major problems getting the game on mlb audio radio is anybody else a subscriber? it's not on TV here

maybe Davis will show a spark. Oakland is good, but there is NO WAY they should keep dominating the Sox like this. Please.

thumbs down on Sweeney. He's always one violent swing away from the DL. And he's another base clogger. We need somebody who can run a little better.

if you go back to the KW press conference after he thumped Jerry Manuel, Kenny Kool mentioned this team's struggles and lack of intensity against inferior teams (read Detroit) as a reason he pulled the trigger.

Why is Ben Davis on the team? shouldn't he be in Charlott getting some At bats?

and just think, haven't even been to Anaheim yet. Can't wait for that. record there ain't much better than it is in Oakland.

Whatever. In 2000, they dominated Detroit 14-4 or 15-3. Also won the fight. Need to do better than 11-8 this year. Tigers, for the record, are only 4 back -- and probably feeling pretty chesty because they beat the Twins 3 out of 4 last week.

sounds like Gonzo's progress made Morse expendable. need Gonzo or Valido to take over at SS in three years.

Colangelo still has the power to stop this by refusing to send johnson to the Yankees. and the David Wells contract fiasco 2 years ago should be all the motivation he needs.

The sox need Uribe and Harris to get on base the way they were doing it earlier this season.

actually the sox were 11-8 against a horrible Detroit team that won something like 43 games all season. When a team wins nearly 20 percent of its season total against you, that's getting kicked around. At one point, the Tigers led the season series 7-6. A primary reason the Sox lost the division to the Twins last year is Minnesota stuffed the Tigers and the Sox did not.

You'd better worry about Detroit. The Tigers are much improved with Guillen and IRod -- and they kicked the Sox around pretty good last year. And in the factor that we struggle to score when we don't hit home runs and Comerica Park makes matters much much worse. I don't see this team finishing 10 games over .500 -- unless Frank comes back or a trade is made. Of course, 85-77 might be good enough to win the division.

Was that Gonzalez' first game in AA? And where is Baj? Notice he hasn't pitched much lately.

He's better in the clubhouse, but it's his bat that's been cancerous lately.
