I think Aviles is going to be exposed this year. No way he puts up the same numbers offensively as last year, and he's going to be a very much below-average defender at SS. That combo up the middle with Teahen might be the worst defensively in the entire major leagues.

 

Teahen really misplayed that ball Getz hit into the hole and Jacobs dove over for a "gift" hustle double.

LOL I was waiting for you to chime in on Dweezy.

I was going to after 2 Ks but I figured I'd wait for the third one.

Lets trade for Ken Griffy, he will solve all the problems

DeJesus k's. 123 go the Royals.

Nice quick inning for Richard.

Ha, same pitch this time they give it to him

clayton making it look easy

i like clayton in the pen for these kinda situations.

nice inning

Nice inning Clayton!

Clayton Richard in to pitch the 6th.

 

Good call on Ozzie's part. Mark was at 97 pitches and didn't have his good stuff today. The score could easily be 5-1 right now.

 

dare I say, golden sombrero?

i'd like to give him a golden shower

CR nice job.

Getz

Meche is good today, but lets find a way to scratch across a run. Or just hit a HR. It's what we do.

I concur.

i'd like to give him a golden shower

 

LOL

but according to oz and kenny he has fight! and this look!!

lol the only thing he has left to do to complete this fiasco is to have him badly misplay a ball in CF, that I guess that look in his eyes theoretically could've helped him reach

Nice inning for CR. If he can be solid, that gives us five quality guys in the bullpen...not counting on much from MacDougal and Carasco but mop-up, "maintaining the deficit" for our offense to catch back up and blowout innings.

Done:

 

Getz

Alexei

CQ

Thome

Fields

BA

exactly...

I don't think anyone, even on SoxTalk, wants BA leading off. What we WOULD like is BA in CF batting 9th, and Getz leading off.

I have my bratwurst now....its time for a rally.

Suddenly he corrects himself about Wise.

Getz fouls out to Gordon, 1 out. 9 in a row retired by Meche.
