Beckett threw 36 pitches in the first without having to pitch to Thome.

Is danks starting game two?

Yes.

 

The Sox, with Thome hurting, have literally 1 bench position player available for the entire field - Gonzalez.

 

If things get ugly, we could see a pitcher hit, or even worse, a pitcher playing the field.

And Gonzalez is actually starting in LF now.

Oh crap, you're right. So who is on the bench that isn't hurt? ANYONE?

Hall, Podsednik, and Thome.

Yeah, his days of playing every day or near every day are over. His body can't handle it.

 

The Thome death watch continues on Soxtalk as a stiff neck prompts the veteran player's funeral dirge. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

Nice f***ing inning by Garland.

Hall, Podsednik, and Thome.

Isn't Hall catching, and AJ DH'ing? That's what my gamecast shows.

 

And Pods and Thome are both hurt.

No one that I know of. Hall who can really only play 1B/C, Podsednik who I'm not sure can even play the field and Thome who can maybe give you something at 1B if absolutely necessary. Not a lot of flexibility for Ozzie today.

Konerko is at DH and Pierz is behind the plate.

 

DH - Pauly

C - AJ

1B - Erstad

2B - Richar

SS - Uribe

3B - Fields

LF - Gonzalez

CF - Owens

RF - Dye

 

BN - Hall

BN - Pods

BN - Thome

f***ing sportsline now shows the Sox playing 3 shortstops. 2 of them are Uribe.

OK, now it shows Erstad at 1B. That makes more sense.

 

If I could use MLB here I would, but no flash plug-in.

Maybe you shouldn't be counting on sportsline for your game info..

The Thome death watch continues on Soxtalk as a stiff neck prompts the veteran player's funeral dirge. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

 

His body can't handle a full season anymore and I think that's very clear.

Why didn't Danks start game one?

Ed going on about Owens bad elbow. Can he throw if healthy?

 

Anyone just get the e-mail from the Sox telling them the game will be palyed today at 1:05?

 

Real nice at-bat by Owens there. Sorry to the half empty crowd. Nice SB on the pitch out as well.

I really don't think Fields can his Beckett.

Owens steals again. Was that a pitch-out? (Sportsline said so, but I don't trust it).

Yes.

I'd still like to know who told Hawk it'd be a good idea to yell "Daggumit" or "Dadgummit" or whatever he's yelling out there.

Sorry I'm out of the loop today, why is Thome out?? Is he expected to play tonight?

20 pitches for Garland through 2, 57 for Beckett.

Stiff neck. I'd assume not but what do I know.

Good. Let's wear down that bullpen in game 1.

He'll end up through 120 through 6 and Gagne, the Jap leftie and Papelbon will finish it off.

 

How do s*** players (Alex Cora) hit OSx pitching so well?
