Swisher 2 webgems in a row!!!

How's it been over at BTF lately with Sox fans?  I haven't read many gamethreads lately, as I'd rather not think about the game if we lose.  No on has jumped off the ledge?

 

Nah, there's less highs and lows over there. People were getting worried, but also realized that a 15 game deficit is extremely hard to come back from, even if it reached six games.

 

It's a small group of Sox fans, but I like 'em. Vince, Cheat, me, and a bunch others. I've met Vince (he's the blogger at Exile in Wrigleyville), he's a really cool guy.

 

It's been fun, to say the least. Glad Cheat directed me to the site.

Man, it almost sounds like you guys are cheering harder for the A's than for us!

Yeah, it's a great site. I remember loving the threads when the Cubs collapsed in the 2003 playoffs. Great times!

Good with the bases loaded?  Sizemore is significantly better than Pods when runners are on base.  Also, I'm not sure what Sizemore's numbers are, but Pods has been brutal getting on base in LIPS.

 

Empty. Empty. Said that wrong.

 

BTW. Did I mention how much Chavez blows.

Garcia's on the verge of letting the Royals right back into this game. Get the sac fly here, get the next guy out, and put it in the hands of our bullpen.

I see a wild pitch or 2 in the forecast

There's the sac fly, now get this guy out and take a seat on the bench.

This performance is absolutely unacceptable from Garcia tonight. 9 runs scored and KC isn't put away yet is pretty sad.

KC's been scoring more runs of late. Though that doesnt matter.

 

Also, we're only 7 away from 22 this series!

Ozzie's going to give him every chance to qualify for the win. This should be his last batter.

I guess coming down the stretch, the offense has to carry the pitching. If it were not for our pitching, we could not have been leading our division right now. I guess our pitching staff is getting exhausted as we're heading to the end of the regular season.

 

AND THAT IS WHY I WOULD LOVE TO SEE BMAC TO START FEW GAMES FOR US BEFORE REGULAR SEASON ENDS. PLEASE OZZIE!

2nd walk this inning, first one already came around to score.

 

Viz is warm and ready in our pen.

Wow, did anyone else think Payton's was gone there?

If Garcia gets out of this, his ERA tonight will still be 9.00.

He doesn't have it tonite. I'd let him try to get through the botttom of the order next inning, then turn it over to the bp.

Freddie, you ain't helping our momentum. What a horses*** effort.

 

But nice strikeout rite there! we lead, 9-5.

Hopefully, that's all for Garcia. Let Viz and Cotts handle the next few innings.

He's out of it. Yay. Qualifies for the win. Hit the showers Freddy.

Freddie is so unpredictable maybe Oz should keep him in and he'll blank KC the rest of the way ... uh probably not.

Hopefully, that's all for Garcia.  Let Viz and Cotts handle the next few innings.

Yeah, maybe we can use Neal for 1 batter and then pull him

This should be an automatic win with 9 runs. Hope KC gets no more.

I'd go ahead and pull him now that he is in line for the win. He's battling but just doesn't have it tonight. You can't walk people when you have a big lead. Four runs should be plenty with some decent pitching. If I were Ozzie in this particular case, I wouldn't push my luck.

Iguchi's on one pitch mode tonight. Oh well, at least he produced.

f***in' mercy. Zito throws a curveball, belt-high, called a ball. Next pitch, basehit.

 

Unf***ingbelievable. The umping in that series has been atrocious...
