Sox have already clinched the season series win over the Sawx, and currently lead 5-1.

 

With last night's win and other developments, the Sox have clinched 2nd in the AL Central.

 

With a win tonight over the Sawx, the Sox would be just one game behind the Sawx in the battle for the fifth best record in the AL. Heck, if Texas loses tonight, a Sox victory will put them two wins behind the #4 team in the AL.

 

JohnnyD goes for win 15, and tries to prevent JonnyL from getting win #20.

 

 

Let's keep winning and set the tone for 2011

Sox lineup:

 

Pierre 7, Missile 6, Paulie DH, Jones 8, Castro 2, Tank 3, Morel 5, De Aza 9, Lil' Bridge 4, JohnnyD 1

 

Three aspects of the lineup may be very 2011ish: Morel and Alexi on the left side of the infield, Paulie and Viciedo sharing 1B/DH, and of course Pierre leading off.

 

Lester has been pretty filthy recently, and the Sawx will be trying hard to get him his 20th. Sox better bring their bats and their gloves...

 

Viciedo in the lineup!

Hate to break it to you but how we play tonight has nothing to do with the tone of 2011 since there will be a fairly different roster next year.

Viciedo in the lineup!

 

I nearly fainted. Ozzie must actually want people (well... me specifically) to check out the game tonight.

His handling of Viciedo has been laughable. God I'm pissed that Ozzie is returning.

Are the Sox actually in the Wild Card hunt??? I thought they were dead?

They are. Rays and Yankees clinched when we beat the Red Sox either yesterday or the day before that.

Win one for me, boys.

Viciedo needs to be playing 1B every game the rest of the season, especially with Konerko all but saying he's leaving.

CLINCHED 2ND PLACE?!

 

WE'VE WON, WE'VE WON!...the tallest midget contest.

There is no such thing as momentum from one season to another. You have a 5 to 6 month layoff, different personnel, etc.

 

 

Just checked the Gameday. Is Juan Pierre feeling it tonight or something? 3 SB in the first 2+ innings.....Maybe he just wants to hit the 70 SB plateau.

19 homers, 48 RBIs, great defense - not bad value we've received from one Mr. Andruw Jones this year as a back-up outfielder, all for the paltry price of $500K.

Yet people still b****ed for his release for most of the year.

Damn, I'm going to miss that man!

PAULIE PAULIE He's now only one away from 40. Think he can reach that before season's end? I hope he does.

Damn, I'm going to miss that man!

Thanks Ozzie!

What makes you so sure he's not coming back with us?

THE TANK GOES YARD!

Thanks Ozzie!

His quotes today make it extremely obvious.

This is news to me. What did he say exactly?
