Winner !! Dory hasn't failed yet !

Whew, wasn't sure how far that was off the bat. Hell of a clutch hit by AJP!!

Sale!

HURRRRRRRRRRRR 5 BACK. DON'T STOP NOW BOYZ.

The Sox beat the Royals and Joe West's umpiring crew.

AJ coming on strong late in the season during a pennant race. He's got a lot left in the tank. I hope he's back next year.

FWIW (any maybe very little) our playoff odds only increased from 5.4% to 6.9% today

I agree.

Atta boy, AJ.

 

We really needed to get a clutch hit and get back in the win column to keep hope alive.

 

Worried a bit about Beckham's wrist. Prefer they just shut him down for three days and bring him back against MIN on Tuesday.

 

Sale continues to be effectively wild, only has given up runs in a single appearance out of 13 trips to the mound.

How bout an easy win tomorrow. not torture again.

How did Harrelson handle it?

 

Farmer and DJ were trashing them, said they should be fired/reassigned and that they clearly have a vendetta against Guillen and the Sox.

Four balk calls against Buerhle when no other crew has called one?

Hawks still out with his brother-in-laws death. Had Mike Huff and Stone.

Under

 

You lose.

For the second straight game, I'm checking midway -- and noticing the same thing. M. Ramirez = 0 hits. Let me say it again: since the papers noted that he had no extra-base hits -- and since Hawk noted that Walker had made some recommendations to help him drive the ball -- he is HITLESS. I think he's 0-13 now, and I'm serious.

 

 

Season. Over.

 

I re-read the thread and most posts were pretty cool.

I love those season.over posts.

 

As far as the first post, there is no way in hell Manny Ramirez listened to Greg f***ing Walker so don't even hint Walker is to blame. Manny Ramirez doesn't take suggestions from hitting coaches, especially ones who hit like Greg Walker did in the bigs.

 

 

So many great things about tonight:

 

Sox win

Twins lose

Good wine

My kid has his first Fall game tomorrow and temps are due about 70 degrees and clear...

I'm glad my voodoo hex ended up working for this team!

Big clutch hit by the much maligned AJP. I'll take him in 2011. Manny must start doing something.

Even the guy who does the video for mlb.com thinks it's a joke. The title of the video is "Phantom balk incenses Ozzie"

When the homeplate umpire is calling a balk other than a lack of a stop or some sort of false move, it is total BS. There is no way he can see the other parts of the equation that constitute a balk. If the first base umpire isn't calling it, and its this particular crew, there is no doubt is some vendetta and really something needs to be done.

Mark Buehrle has 14 career balks.

 

4 this year, 5 in his first full season.
