Very nice by Sale! And please Ozzie, play Lillibridge in CF tomorrow. Rios deserves to sit.

Wow, Chris Sale just skullf***ed Adrian Gonzalez..nice.

3 pitches. Sweet!

Nice win.

 

So, the revolving door to the bullpen should continue

Confidence again in Thornton and Sale

This momentum will carry the BoSox to a win tomorrow I'm sure.

I think that's a cliche that has nothing to do with what happens tomorrow. At least I hope so,

I do think he let Humber go too long

 

Ozzie f***ed Humber. Hell...he would have pulled MB out in the 6th.

Nice win.

We have to find somebody to help get us to the 8th and 9th

Sale in? Ozzie seems to be caught unprepared right now.

 

So what else is new?

The stock of amalgamated Guillen has plummeted since Jenks made the last out in the 2005 WS.

 

A few years back the biggest problem was a 5th starter, now we have three . . . So now it's the 'pen. Welcome to baseball in the 21st century.

Wow, Chris Sale just skullf***ed Adrian Gonzalez..nice.

Seems like AGon had a rough game...didn't Humber get him twice too?

Sox win 2-0 starting game threads.

Too bad 10-1 turned into 10-7 and a Save situation but it's a win. Now let's sweep these bums!!

Sure as hell don't want to mess with a trend. Hint hint.

Don't hurt your arm too much from patting yourself on the back so much...

I follow these game threads from time to time and it sure seems like alot of Ozzie should have done this, KW should be fired for that. Ozzie f'd Humber. No he didn't. Who did you want him bring in with a 10-2 lead. You can't use Thornton, Crain, and Santos everyday. Here's a novel idea, how about Ohman do his job and get a lefty out? The Sox just won 2 in a row in Boston and people are b****ing about Bruney, a guy who is going to be here about a week.

If only the Sox won that last game in Texas or the third game in Toronto. This would have been a pretty good road trip if that was the case.

 

They still have a chance to make this a decent trip with a win tomorrow though.

Yep, I'd take 5-5 on this tough road trip. 4-6 is still acceptable. If those 2 games had gone the Sox way, it would have been back to back great road trips.

Beckham was hitting .199 after game 57 last year. This year-.241. Improving.

So he should be up to around .400 by September?

Actually, I guess I had forgotten that he was that horrid early last year. Gotta love .241.

He's been a very good second half player the last two seasons as well, so hopefully he will replicate that. I miss the doubles to the opposite field gap, but pitchers are just not going to throw him fastballs on the outer half until he proves he can turn on pitches on the inner half and lay off that letter-high fastball. This is encouraging though.

People were pretty rough on Bruney. I don't think he was that bad. The single up the middle was a seeing-eye hit. That was very nearly playable. As for the "double", that should have been caught. I was way more pi$$ed off about Ohman giving up the homer to Ortiz. What good is this guy if he can't get the lefties? What a worthless bum.

It really is amazing how the White Sox take and easy game and f*** it up.

 

Ohman had been pitching good.

 

This is yet another game where Jeff Gray would have helped.

 

 

Oh my god...enough about Jeff f***ing Gray.

 

They got the win in Fenway. Be happy.

He's been arguably the worst every day CF in baseball. Which is disgusting considering his physical talents.

 

 

no matter what, nice momentum shift coming into tomorrow. way to take your foot off their throat.

1.) Rios is bad. Very bad.

2.) Maybe. I don't know about that momentum stuff. You could look at it the other way, like Boston feels discouraged it didn't complete the comeback. You're probably right though. We'll play a s***ty lineup. We rarely sweep people.

3.) Best post of the thread.
