Id like to see Ozuna get some more playing time. Seems like Timo always gets the call before he does and I really can't see why.

That's dissappointing.  This team needs a big bat, because really, this lineup isn't that great.  I really hope they make a pitch for Hillenbrand -- he's not really a big bat, but he'll do a better job than Crede or Konerko have been doing.

There's rumors Hillenbrand is headed back to Boston.

Hot Carl.

Carl gets us going in fine fashion.

 

He's having a monster day today.

If you are going to put Timo in the game, you have to play Iguchi at 2B. Why can't he stagger these guys starts during the week if rest is so needed? I'm actually shocked Widger didn't get the start today. Iguchi gets into the game anyway, what was the benefit of sitting him?

Wait a second here.

 

Widger? This guy is a pretty tough RHP as we just saw, I would definitely want AJP behind the plate for the Sox, no doubt in my mind that was the right call.

 

I don't see what Timo and Harris have to do with one another. If you're looking at Timo and Harris being significantly less bats than Rowand and Iguchi, that's fair enough. But both Rowand and Iguchi had bad days at the plate yesterday and IMO could use a break vs. a tough righthander. Stats may not show it but this guy Lawrence has nasty stuff so I can see why he wanted as many LH bats in there as possible.

 

Again, Timo vs. Rowand, yeah I can see b****ing about that but not sure what the problem is with the rest of the lineup.

What are the chances we'll see Rowand hit for Timo?

RISP for Paulie is usually not a good thing.

Diamondbacks are in the hunt Keith. They are buyers, not sellers. In general we have to look at the teams who'd want prospects.

5 to 4 on a bloop by Pauly!!!!!! Cmon Aj.

Paulie comes through!!!!!!

 

 

5-4 GAME NOW

PINCH RUN KONERKO NOW!

Shea's in Toronto now, Jim.

I don't mean to be a jerk, but Hilly's on the Jays...

PINCH RUN KONERKO NOW!

 

Should that be in green?

Should that be in green? 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Nope. I don't want to see him thrown out at home again.

Green because we know Ozzie won't make that move I mean.

Come on, AJ, don't get pissed at yourself. Take your anger out on the ball, we could use a gapper here...

2nd and 3rd NO OUT!!!

Another game, another case of why not having a back-up 1B hurting us. PK should not have been left on first after he got the single. When will KW and Ozzie wake up and realize something needs to be done?

THAT'S WHY YOU PINCH-RUN GODAMMIT!

Who's on deck? Please tell me Ozzie has Rowand or Dye there instead of Timo...

Come on, AJ, don't get pissed at yourself.  Take your anger out on the ball, we could use a gapper here...

Alright Keith, whatcha got now?

 

 

Here comes Otsuka.

Wait a second here.

2 bench players. I actually was quite happy when AJ was in the line-up. I don't consider Everett a bench player, just his glove. My feeling is that with Everett's shaky at best defense, Rowand has to be in CF. The outfield defense is about as bad as Ozzie could put out there today. The lefty/righty matchups mean nothing to me. If Iguchi and Rowand can't hit a guy like Lawrence this team isn't going anywhere anyway. Harris looked pathetic at the plate today. I think the line-up choices is the biggest reason for this team's record on Sundays. Nothing else adds up. They have an outstanding day game record, and their overall obviously is the best in baseball. Let me continue to complain and they will take the lead.

Too bad it was Paulie on base again.
