Nice outing by Freddy; velocity was back up and he was getting guys out.

 

Thome continues to be a beast with the bat.

 

Joe Crede's looking sharp lately on both sides of the field.

 

Kong likes power too.

 

cheers to:

thome

crede

konerko

garcia

bmac

jenks

we'll even throw in iguchi in there for some nice defensive plays

 

 

I love it.

I didn't see the first 7 innings or so, but a win is great

Good work by everyone in the game wearing black...except for people named Scott.

That win felt good, especially with Bobby looking in total control and a 1-2-3 save. Good outing today

Great job by the sox today!!!!!!

Good outing by the pitching staff 0 ER for the pen, Freddy looking much improved.

still sucks that all of our runs were on long balls.

From the tigers board game thread today: "Rumor was that Garcia had some arm trouble..... Do you see it , cause I don't."

I would have like to see some more run production....but oh well 2 in a row......

 

 

So can Owens play left field?

LOL @ Hawk not even knowing that Crede hit a homerun until Joe was almost to 3rd base. Great game for the Sox, they need to start putting some things together, and met a team which has been an offensive juggernaut for the past 6 games. They shut down the tigers offense for the most part, and todays win looked a lot like a win from last year.

 

You know, the thing I love about Thome is that even pitchers that are notorious sox-killers cant get him out. 440 foot bomb off of Bonderman? f***ing Awesome.

Owens isnt hitting any better than PODS, so forget about it.

OK, I literally just walked back into my dorm. Can someone please break down the pitching today? Are our fears about Garcia and Jenks eased for the time being?

 

How did the hitters look, besides Pods who I see is hitless again today?

two game winning streak good start, nice to see other players hit a hr besides thome of late, Freddy did a nice job. Jenks is pitching pretty good.

 

Were comin for ya injuns.

2 in a row. Time for Jose to pitch another gem. Too bad there's a day off in between games.

No.

Yes

Good.

 

Is that in-depth enough?

You know what's odd about today's performance for Garica? He threw harder this afternoon than I've seen him throw since joining club. Consistently 92mph; 94 occasionally in certain situations. Last season he rarely hit 94, and today he reached it frequently.

 

I would have been satisfied if he eclipsed 90. Literal night and day difference between second-start Garcia and typical, hardthrowing Freddy Garcia.

Nobody I want going in next game over The Count.

three in a row quality starts. vasquez, buerhle, and garcia today. lets hope this is signs to come this year

Thome is god with the bat and Crede is god with the glove, it's a beautiful thing.

This is what happens with the starting pitching staff. Its just my observation, but Buehrle sets the bar, and the rest follow suit. I dont understand it, but I swear that everytime Buehrle has a good start, the rest of the staff mimics him. It seemed to happen a lot last year too. When Buehrle "lost" his changeup late in the year last year, the Sox started skidding big time and the only pitcher who could stop the bleeding was Jose. We all blamed it on Pods being injured, but I thought the pitching was losing its edge as well. Like I said, just my observation.
