This game favors us on paper. Let's bring another one to the column!

Let's hope Carmona starts as well as he closes.

I will be there....Big Jon needs to continue on his roll....lets let last night be the beginning of a long win streak....

 

Let's get our first 2 game "winning-streak" in I don't know how long. The odds have to be in our corner with Garland going against (BS) Carmona.

No Crede again tonight

come out looking for blood.

a win would be great tonight

 

after those so called "turnaround games" we always seem to lose the next game, lets stop that trend

This game favors us on paper. Let's bring another one to the column!

 

That's why it will be on the "L" column.

 

The Sox are 3 and 5 in September. I had hoped for a 18-10 record. Now playing .500 ball seems like a moral victory. The days are ticking off quickly. And I'm certain they won't pull off a miracle if this thing has to be decided in Minnesota. The time is RIGHT PHAWKING NOW! Let's go chumps. Get your collective heads outta your asses.

Just win. Win pretty, win ugly, doesn't matter. Just win.

I have a feeling today's game could get ugly...and say there's probably a 95% chance that AJ gets drilled in his first at bat. I wonder how Ozzie will deal with that.

Just win. Win pretty, win ugly, doesn't matter. Just win.

 

 

I don't care how we win just win it. This time maybe the Tigers will beat the Twins for us, to get us back in second place.

 

The wife and I are going tonight, and we'll be happy with any old kind of a (Sox) win.

He deserves to get drilled.

 

I love him for what he did, but won't be pissed when it happens. Who knows how Guillen, or the umpires, will act.

 

The worst situation would be for Pierzynski to be drilled, and immediately umpires warn both benches -- thus removing the inside plate from Garland.

 

Regardless, I wouldn't mind extra baserunners early. Maybe it'll unravel Carmona.

What did he do in your mind?...for hitting the HR or the bat flip? I read a few Cleveland boards that were pissin and moanin about it. I honestly don't see what he did that was wrong. I'm personally sick of all these crybabies using any excuse they can to hate AJ. The dude can't fart without being blamed for it being in somebody's general direction.

 

You are exactly right though...AJ gets drilled and the umps will warn Ozzie. Hopefully will have no effect on whether Jon pitches inside or not. I hope if this is how it plays out...Ozzie makes the point to let the umps know his pitcher still has the right to pitch inside.

Obviously the bat flip. Cmon' now, be objective -- if a hated opposing player hit a game-winning HR, then proceeded to watch it, slowly trot towards first base, then flip his bat 10 feet in the air, don't you think our team would be upset?

 

I realize how important the moment was. It could potentially be the game which we look back on and cite as our turnaround. Any other player and I guarantee reaction would be different. It's like pouring sulfuric acid on an open wound. AJ's reputation precedes him; and when events such as yesterdays occur, players on a losing ballclub can't be too happy.

 

It's as simple as that. When retaliation occurs, no one should be shocked.

^^^^^^^^^

 

I was actually happy that the Twins did it basically because AJ came out of their their organization and was basically taught better than that. They play the game the right way.

Like I said...AJ can't fart without being blamed for something. Great moment...great reaction from an emotional player. Any of these teams that b**** about AJ would take him on their squad in a heartbeat...kind of like what it was around here. I still don't see the flip as being such a slap in the face. Especially when you get people like Manny that hits a dinger...flips his bat and stands there like an asswipe watchin' it for 5 seconds...and that's on almost every dinger he hits. I just don't think AJ was showing anybody up...and didn't stand there watchin' it. I still think it's gonna be on tonight.
