Now, with this lead our offense still should concern itself with scoring. Fairly early in the game.

 

Just last week we witnessed a similar situation unfold where a large lead was taken, only to be squandered by the pitching.

 

No time to experience a let down.

I agree with this. So, as someone relatively new to the board and who lives in Cali and thus can't follow Chicago news very easily, why does the majority of this board hate the Twins so much? I'm no Pats fan but I like their organization and respect what they've accomplished. Why wouldn't the same hold for the Twins?

 

BTW, though I'm new to the board my childhood hero was Nellie Fox and the first thing I learned to say was Louis Aparicio so I'm not new to the Sox.

 

Envious that they are always competitive. Notice they have no fans yet blame nobody and continue to grow talent and rob teams.

Because they're probably in the same division. The posts that I have seen have been more about respect for them and their GM more than anything.

I don't think it's only that. The other night many were saying that, if the Sox don't make the playoffs they'd like to see ANYONE, even the Tigers (same division, obviously) rather than the Twins go all the way.

Is that really Freddy pitching?

 

Since I can't see it with my own two eyes I'm questioning it somewhat.

Woah. What just happened right there? I thought the Sox scored in the top of this inning!

wow I just got home from school, I can't believe were up so much

Than the reasons stated by other posters before I hit the refresh button seem suitable enough.

Agreed.

Thats not the point. The point is that people seem to think Ozzie is one of the worst managers in the league. If other managers are doing these sorts of things, do you really think that Ozzie is still one of the worst?

Just because other managers also make bad moves doesn't make Ozzie any better of a manager. Soscia's use of Romero as a LOOGY right there wasn't a great move but it wasn't a horrible one either, Ozzie has done much worse including yesterday's game.

Tomorrow we will find out Garcia is suspended the remainder of the season for violation of the league's drug policies.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm following through gameday and can't believe what I'm viewing.

 

It's pratically the best case scenario. Everything is clicking; starting pitcher dominating, offense dominating. Haven't seen many of these games since the All-Star break.

 

Although I'm not going to say this game will turn it all around, as people seemed inclined to say following every victory. What I like most about this game (so far..) is it happened following a Minnesota loss. Players had to realize what happened. There may be absolutely not correlation between a Minnesota loss and this game, but it's easier to speculate now, rather than a reversal -- down 7 runs, held scoreless.

I am watching the game via this. Is it junkball fred or is he thowing the hard stuff.

This team is doing just enough to stay in the race and keep our ever so slim hopes up. As frustrating as last nights loss was a win today would be 2 out of 3 and as much as you could of hoped for. Get 2 of 3 in Oakland and this would be a very successful trip.

Ok...no one say it.

He's not throwing hard, but is placing it real well. He's probably on the bennies.

Ok...no one say it.

 

No one even refer to it. I'm done with it now.

based on his most recent starts and through five innings today, Garcia seems to be learning how to pitch, which is nice to see.

Freddie will become a pitcher instead of a thrower? Nice..

Wish I was watching the game. Singleton jusr irks the crap out of me!

That swing Paulie took was a "pad-the-stats" type of swing. He almost came off his shoes!

 

He still swinging for the interstate.......
