The guy slid into the tag... don't know how that ump missed it.

Nix should have made sure to tag him when he was off the entire bag...come on.

Instead of just assuming he was out on a very close play, if he stuck with it, it would have been an easy tag and call.

Dotel in - first pitch... JUUUUST A BIT HIGH.

Does Bobby have the day off or something? I don't like the idea of using Dotel here...

 

Where's Thornton?

Bobby should never be brought in unless to start the inning. This I am sure of. He doesn't do well starting with runners on.

He tagged him on the back of the elbow. I think his hand was already on the bag.

Nix pulled his hand up to the show the ump he had the ball. He assumed that the call would be out.

That's the truth. Hell, he's something like 6-10 in one run games.

In slow motion he looked out, Nix still should have kept the tag on him though.

You know what happens when you assume..

Big pitch Dotel...hopefully that tag won't matter.

Such a huge AB right here. Cmon Dotel.

Nice play by Kotsay. He had a horrible time with the sun on that one.

He doesn't do well in non save situations

He doesn't do well unless he starts an inning.

He's 6 for 10 in saves with a 1 run lead.

 

I think we know why the Sox aren't going to be particularly thrilled to be paying him $8-9 million next year.

Tough match-up here with the fastball hitter in Hairston. Pitch him carefully!

I meant we should use Thornton now.

 

Not using Thornton now might mean that he could pitch the 9th.

 

So that would mean no Bobby.

I'm totally for pitching around Hairston and hoping they bring in Cust for Nomar.

Alright. Let's get this last guy Dotel!

Usually if you take a lefty pitcher out, you should put a righty pitcher in to mix things up more. And vice versa if it was a righty pitcher, too.

 

I think Dotel's the man for this situation.

Ah, gotchya.

Hairston and Cust are the only guys who scare me an awful lot on this team...

Esp. since he is a good fastball hitter.

He doesn't do well is what you are saying?

Damnit.

f***.

DAMN IT
