You have to pinch hit Cintron for Iguichi...Gooch will fall over swinging against this guy.

screw it, would rather have thome start the 8th anyway

Nice job Pods!

 

Bat Cintron for Gooch please.

What do you know!! You swing at a close pitch, and you'll get a blooper/infield hit. Good job Pods!

Gooch will swing at all 3 out of the zone...well 2.

Juan, yes. Anderson, come on, you REALLY want Mack in the game in the 7th?

Anderson is a tougher call, but in no way can you just leave both those guys in as automatic outs.

Yes, we need another run. Right now, you have to sacrifice defense for offense. It sucks we don't have a different back-up outfielder, but that's the hole KW/Ozzie have put the Sox in all year.

Rincon will come in for Neshek versus Thome.

Reyes

might as well try to steal against him

Nice job Pods!

 

It's all up to JT vs. Reyes now.

Uribe should have been PH for...I don't know about Anderson. Mack in center is just brutal...especially in this park.

Well, he faced 4 righties and 1 lefty. He got all 4 righties out, and the 1 lefty got on base. It's too bad the stats say that never happens, or else Ozzie would've pinch hit a few times.

The one lefty Neshek faces gets on....interesting concept.

Reyes

oops...my bad. I forgot he isn't with them anymore.

It would be nice if Pods was standing on 3rd. He has a hard time picking the ball up. On Konerko's double yesterday in which Pods scored, he did pull up at second for some reason before taking off again.

minnesota broadcasters just said righties are 3-42 against this guy, wtf is ozzie doing?

 

oops, make that 3-43

He always seems to slow down when getting close to a base. It's very peculiar...he's definitely not a smooth runner.

Big Jim's been awesome this year, but we need em REAL bad here and lately he hasn't been steller at a time like this against a lefty. pray

Let's go Jim, don't need a long ball, just a nice solid base knock.

You have to roll the dice in that situation. If the Sox don't score another run, Willie Mays in his prime in CF won't make a difference.

Damn. Who doesn't have good numbers out of their pen.

The Twins bullpen is spectacular.

Best pitch he'll get this entire sequence. FWIW, Thome destroys the Twins.

We need Thome to come through here...big time.
