Swisher 4 for 40 against Lackey? oh god

Sox have hit the ball hard all night. The last basehit by Uribe was in no mans land, but Cabrera hit the ball on the button, and AJ hit a rocket.

 

I haven't been very impressed with Lackey tonight.

 

I'm never that impressed with Lackey, as his stuff seems average. I know this is picky of me, but when you have a hit-and-run like OC did, you have to hit the ball on the ground.

What? We just killed those lats two outs

 

haha yeah, typical baseball, Uribe's soft hit gets in, and OC and AJ hit the ball hard but get out.

We need 2005 ALCS Vlad right here.

I keep pointing this out...the numbers for his career say that in September, Juan usually does actually get it going.

 

He needs to get it going this month, otherwise we could be in trouble.

Hitting .417, 1.500 OPS for Juan so far this month.

f***, terrible time to hang a curve.

Is there ever a good time?

Somebody's trying to get a 2009 contract...

Offense needs to find a way to score some more now.

Is there ever a good time?

 

Good point....Gavin really s*** the bed tonight.

When the Angels are pitching.

AHHH!!!! Gavin is imploding!

Say what you want about Gavin's run support, but once again, he's stood up for 5 innings so far against an offense that is now one of the most loaded ones in the league and gone pitch for pitch with John Lackey. There's a reason why he's piling up those wins.

 

they've shown how they're loaded. bad inning.

You really hate to have guys like Rivera and Napoli beat you. It's a lot easier to take when it's Vlad or Tex or even Anderson.

I really hate when Hunter does something.

 

This is becoming a quick inning.

Great swing by Konerko, 5-3!

PAULIE!!!!

It's good to see him dialed in.

Meanwhile Junior had an awesome pitch to hit and popped it up.

This man couldn't have found his stroke at a better time. We've been winning without his bat the whole year, and now Quentin is gone, but Konerko is back.

f***, terrible time to hang a curve.

Although it was a hangar, Rivera was badly fooled and was way out in front - he hit that one off of his front foot. Pretty impressive strength and amazing that it stayed fair.

Hearing those 4 pitchers we'll face in the Toronto series, we need all of our hitters to find their swings.

Nice AB by Alexei to lead things off.

I don't know what a big shocker is:

 

- walk for Alexei

- Hawk ripping on the attendance
