A rally from Seattle would be nice here....but that request seems way too farfetched to come true...

I have to agree with that. I'm here in Washington watching the game and rootin' for the (stinkin') Mariners.

Jones is actually pretty good against lefties. The problem is more what Kotsay does against lefties.

 

If you're going to cry, at least cry about the right things.

 

Thing is, Jones is getting a ton of at bats vs righties. Basically 150 out of his 210 ABs have been against RHP this season. As we've talked about, it seems the sox misjudged Kotsay's ability to play the outfield.

Yes, he has gotten quite a bit of ABs verses righties...so I guess he has a point...but tonight he's facing a lefty....which he has hit well against....

Danks had a Javy Vazquez-like start. It was one bad inning that did him in.

During the inning there were some well placed balls. Albeit, he wasn't as sharp as he's been the rest of this game, but he wasn't 4 run in an inning bad.

Ahem...

Let's win this thing

Haha, there we go! Let's get tying run to the plate.

Andruw crushed it. I was thinking he was going to homer.

I would not cut Andruw. He plays great defense, is a smart baserunner, and still can be a valuable PHer against LHPing.

 

And that is despite him having a rought defensive night tonight and the fact the got picked off, lol.

Pierre with his 3rd hit of the game.

Pierre with a fantastic game.

Hopefully they take Braden out soon, as Konerko and Quentin have looked awful against him this game.

 

If Teahen could come back on Wednesday it'd make it would make that double header a lot easier. Send down player X before the second game and call up Torres, the send down Torres and call up Teahen.

Teahen 2-3 with an RBI for the Knights.

Don't swing Alexei. I want you to walk so Rios can kill it!!!

That was ball 4. Lay off this changeup Alexei.

Bad AB for Alexei, both of those swings were balls.

Dang it...he didn't listen to me.

Wow, that was a rare awful at bat for Alexei.

Gotta get Pena out, he pitched two yest.

Gotta get Pena out, he pitched two yest.

 

In one of the innings he threw 3 pitches.

Hawk is killing the "don't stop now boys" He's said it atleast 20 times this week.

 

 

He says it anytime anyone reaches bases. It's really quite annoying.

 

 

He's really getting on my last nerve. I used to think he was one of those guys that you would appreciate a lot more when he's gone. I'm not so sure anymore.

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

He is so repetitive now it's sickening. I was at the game last night and just realized the best part was I got a night off from hearing him say stretch 14 times on a medium fly and just underneath it on any foul ball behind the plate between the corner bases.

Hey Hawk, both of the corners were crashing on the bunt and no one was covering second. Dropping the bunt and getting a double play would have been a longshot.

Guys...you'll never believe this. In an important game, Javy gave up a go-ahead home run in the 6th inning.
