Gavin doing his best to let them back into this here....

So typical. Can't pitch over errors and when we leave bases loaded or something bad like that, we get scored upon.

let's choke the game away right here guys. thanks.

Who do the Twins play next?

 

Yankees

I hate you OC....this inning won't go well.

 

No, according to Hawk, there's "nothing you can do" about that play. I mean, how could there be? It was hit right at him and bounced up off the ground.

 

I am so tired of Harrelson I can't tell you.

From possibly blowing the game open to having the tieing runs on base in the span of 4 ABs. Thanks White Sox.

I hate the Twins. With the exception of the Mariners series it seems like they sweep all inferior teams and then get swept by all superior teams.

 

 

They have all of 2 hits in five innings against Baker today, 2-0 Twins heading into the 6th. Of course, they will have approximately 51 hits against us this week, predictably.

 

Looks like ALL the momentum is now officially back to the Red Sox after we had them on the ropes. Too bad we didn't have Craig Monroe or Marcus Thames to pinch-hit for us against Aardsma.

twins gonna put a couple more on the board here

1st and 3rd no body out for the Twinkies

AJP shouldn't be hitting in the 2nd spot of the order then. You can't play for one run like this against Boston when you have a terrible bullpen.

 

We were playing for 2 runs. 2 hitters bunt, especially with 2 on and none out. That is the epitome of a bunt situation. Moving two men instead of one into scoring position for your 3, 4, and 5 hitters is absolutely the textbook thing to do.

Gavin's not very sharp so far this inning. He's hung a few pitches.

Nothing comes easy for the Sox.We should be used to this s***.

Exactly. If you're thinking you shouldn't bunt, then you're assuming that hits are following. So, why not have runners at 2d and 3d when they do?

nice play by the missile

YES

Yankees

They never play well against the Yankees and I don't see that changing. So if we can be tied with them going into the next series, I could see us picking up a game or two. Alexei for defensive MVP.

Nice play by Alexi to get the unassisted DP

So why wasn't Pedroia bunting?

 

Great play by Ramirez, huge batter in Ortiz here.

Well, I wish someone would clue our hitters that we were playing for 2 runs. Because from the swings I saw they were hitting for 4.

good alexei

Delmon young grounds into an inning ending double play. still 2-0

Looks like he's really relying on the fastball now, but still having trouble locating.

The Sox have the pefect hitter for the 2-spot, but no position for him in Getz.

Momentum? Twins messed up 1st and third no outs. NO RUNS CROSS!!! Lets go Royals

Agree...but some will go to great lengths in not finding certain players culpable even if it means making up crap about Guillen. The bunt was the RIGHT CALL...at the very least we get 1 run, but Dye and Thome blew it...it happens.
