Offense seems to be waking up. 8 starters with at least one hit. Dye (3-5, 1HR) and Mack (3-3, 2 2B) increasing their trade value. Thome one closer to 500.

 

Solid game for Garland and Thornton. Day needs to go. Jenks with the 1 pitch save.

 

they came out showing some real life.

 

it's a long second half, but this is a great way to get it started! (that, and saying so long to day)

If the offense and starters show up like that every game, and the bullpen is at least partially effective, it should be an exciting 2nd half.

Good start to the second-half... Sadly it doesn't seem to matter if the offense wakes up if the bullpen remains so bad.

Worst bullpen I have ever seen. Nice win and all, but we're shooting for a ceiling of 4th place at the rate our pen works.

Nice day for the offense. Great day for the tradeables. The bullpen outside of Thornton and Jenks looked like crap. Nice win.

My god, we get off to a great start, the bullpen comes in and is absolutely s***ty. My god, this is why I think we'll never go on a big run. Not with this bullpen at least. Even Boone Logan gave up a bomb.

I didn't see the game. Who hit the HR off Boone?

Thome, Konerko, AJ and Dye hit ... we win.

It's pretty simple.

 

That said, can KW find a middle reliever somewhere, anywhere?

We can't keep trotting these guys out there.

Isn't there somebody we can acquire for a prospect or two?

I mean it seems stupid to have the above mentioned veterans try to heat up

if we're not going to make some minor adjustments to the pen.

We can't win with these stiffs out there.

Oz had to just puke watching Day.

Dewon Day sucks.

 

Otherwise, good W

I didn't see the game. Who hit the HR off Boone?

Millar.

Millar.

Why would the LOOGY Boone Logan being facing a righy in Kevin Millar?

I was thinking the same thing when I was watching the game. Maybe Ozzie figured all Boone needed was one more out??

That's the sort of thinking that loses ballgames.

 

I'm beginning to think Boone Logan is too powerful of a weapon for Ozzie to handle.

I know you're being semi-sarcastic, but all he had to do was NOT give up a home run.

Definitely, should've put Jenks in. On a side note I remember an Ozzie quote where he said he liked Day's stuff before he went on the DL... that makes me scared.

Didn't see the game, but it's no shock that Day sucks. His slider is living proof for why you can't judge stupid tool rankings.

This seems like a good thread to ask the question.

Seriously, to all of you who I trust with knowledge of baseball:

Can you identify or could KW identify somebody the Sox could acquire from a

non contender to pitch the sixth and seventh innings or seventh and eighth

preferably?

Is anybody out there we could get for a prospect or two?

Anybody???

it's great to see the offense coming around. save for bedard, guthrie was the best starting pitcher we are going to face this series. i can't wait to see our offense in action the days Vazquez (game 3) and Danks (game 4) pitch.

He's a LOOGY, he shouldn't be facing righties. They hit him incredibly hard. I fear Boone will never be used properly.

Bedard >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Guthrie

^^^ i'm so glad (CREAM) that we have our 3.03 ERA ace matching up with bedard tomorrow. it should be a very quick game as all of buehrle's starts are.

Luckaly Bedard is.. how can I put it... not himself when he faces us. For once we are good against a real good pitcher.

Widge sighting in the stands tonight, right behind the sox dugout. Guess he made an appearance in the clubhouse, too.

 

wonder if he said hi to donny cooper...

Except for last year when he went 8, K'd 7, walked 1 and allowed a single run.
