Swisher needs to do something crazy, such as jump up and down in the dugout, to reenergize this team.

I know it's likely a coincidence, but this team was playing with a lot more energy with Uribe at 3b.

Decent job by Russell to get out of that jam with only giving up one run.... but that 5 run deficit looks impossible with the way Lee is pitching.

I can't imagine anyone of them being put in high leverage situations, unless one of them just starts pitching out of their minds.

 

The one guy I am interested in is MacDougal. Not so much for this year, but for next. Mac has spent alot of time in AAA, and hopefully that was a bit of a wakeup call for him. I am a huge Mac fan, and could be a huge contributor for next season if he gets his head on straight.

 

Are the yahoo stats for MacDougal accurate?

4-22 w/ 2 1B, 2B, 3B, 2K

 

1.) GO 4-3

17.) K

18.) GO 4-3

19.) 2B LF

I agree... on MacDougal - I haven't seen too many Sox games on TV this year (and its been awhile since Mac has pitched with the big club)...so the question is, did his motion look as good as Hawk made it seem?

Ick. What an awful ballgame.

ehh, we just lost to a guy with 20 wins on one of the worst teams in baseball. Could be worse.

Ick. What an awful ballgame.

 

CQ's really pressing.

On the bright side, OC had some good at bats tonight. Maybe he'll realize it's his last month for his salary drive.

How many shutouts do we have as a team. We should be close to last years totals.

It has to be around 10.

Alright I was off by one. 11 now on the season which matches last season's total.

I counted 11 including tonight

times shutout : times opponent shutout

 

CHW: 11:8

BOS: 7:13

MIN: 7:9

LAA: 6:9

TBR: 5:12

 

LAD: 9:10

PHI: 8:9

CHC: 6:7

ARZ: 5:8

NYM: 4:10

MIL: 4:9

 

Hmm. The Sox are the only contender in the game to be shutout more times than they've shut the opponent out this season.

It is a shame that when the Twinkies went on their big road trip we all figured it could be the end for them and in reality it has been our road trip that has been less then stellar. Tied with Minnesota now and unless this team starts to show more than it has in the last 10 days or so we could really be scratching to get into the playoffs. With the way Boston is playing I think our only chance is to win the AL Central

Well both team had long trips and both teams sucked on them

This was also supposed to be the time where we pull away. But, we're tied.

You thought we would pull away when we had to go on the road to boston and cleveland? As bad as we are on the road? While they played Seattle and Oakland? We're lucky it wasn't worse as bad as we are on the road

It seemed to be the consensus that the Twins would fall apart on their long road trip, and that the Sox would be able to put some games between us.

Well those people were crazy.

clayton richard sucks.

 

cliff lee is awesome.

 

that's basically where this game ended up.

 

not to say that clayton will always be this bad, but right now he just isn't good. he has very little control of his pitches (how often tonight was he falling behind 1-0, 2-0 to hitters? even farmer mentioned it)

You could see tonights loss a mile away............What sucks is Minn misses Halladay in Toronto!
