August 20, 200322 yr MLB.com has Adkins starting tomorrow. It's Loaiza's turn isn't it? This can't be right, and if it is......why?! CWSOX45
August 20, 200322 yr MLB.com has Adkins starting tomorrow. It's Loaiza's turn isn't it? This can't be right, and if it is......why?! CWSOX45 It is Loaiza's turn. Including today, it's been 4 days since his last start, and he should be starting tomorrow. If Adkins is starting in his place, Loaiza must be injured somehow. However, I was watching the game on KCAL 9, and the Angels announcers said that Loaiza is starting tomorrow -- but I would think the Sox official homepage would be more reliable, no?
August 20, 200322 yr CHeck the schedule. Jm may have pushed Elo back a game to line him up against the better teams left on the schedule, and thus avoiding the clev and det type of teams. Thats my best guess.

August 20, 200322 yr It would either have to be Adkins or Wright, and I have the feeling he wants Danny available from the bullpen.

August 20, 200322 yr Well ADkins better throw a gem! We got my vision to uphold!! Hey... it's a sure thing!
August 20, 200322 yr Hey... it's a sure thing! WEll the vision didnt say we would go undefeated lol. But it did say we would go on a roll from here on out..........
August 20, 200322 yr WEll the vision didnt say we would go undefeated lol. But it did say we would go on a roll from here on out.......... Glad you clarified that before we lost one. I would have hated to have lost faith in you.
August 20, 200322 yr ESPN, Yahoo and CBS have Loaiza. The Sox site has Adkins, but it's run by MLB. I hope to God he isn't going to start Adkins.
August 20, 200322 yr It will be Loaiza: Sox seek sweep, first place. Yeah, but look at the home page.
August 20, 200322 yr If it IS Adkins, the reason could possibly be that JM wants to have E-Lo start off the next series. The first game of every series is the most important, so he might want to use it as a momentum builder.
August 20, 200322 yr If it IS Adkins, the reason could possibly be that JM wants to have E-Lo start off the next series. The first game of every series is the most important, so he might want to use it as a momentum builder. or a momentum killer. Why is it that everytime we win the first 2 games of a series, we feel that we must concede a game? I'll be cheering for whoever's pitching, but i think getting a sweep would give us more momentum than losing tonight and winning tomorrow.
August 20, 200322 yr Hey, we're talking about Jerry Manuel here. Maybe he decided to replace Loiza with Adkins for the rest of the season to bring some youthful enthusiasm to the club.
August 20, 200322 yr i don't see any way you could justify starting adkins tonight -- unless Loaiza is injured or has a tired arm. and even if that is the case, you have to go with Wright, not a guy with zero major league starts. What has Adkins shown in his first two starts to suggest this is the right move? don't get it -- especially if Clemens beats Gobble this afternoon and a share of first is on the line tonight.
August 20, 200322 yr What has Adkins shown in his first two starts to suggest this is the right move? What did Cotts do in ZERO MLB starts to suggest that starting him last week was the right move? With KW GM'ing and JM managing, I don't put anything past this team. ANYTHING!
August 20, 200322 yr according to espn radio loz is going tonite.........so who knows.. maybe they will combo the two????lol
August 20, 200322 yr well right now on cltv loz is doing an interview.. about starting tonite........so i think its safe to say that adkins wont be starting reguardless what the mlb.com front page has listed........whew were safe......
August 20, 200322 yr Ya or maybe they'll use Loaiza out of the pen to close the game like some drunk broad suggested when she thought Steff was talking to the one and only Esteban Loaiza...a guy with an esteban loaiza all star jersey on in the bullpen sports bar MLB always has wrong starters, i never go there for projected starters or anything Oh and if you go to espn fantasy baseball, in out of the box it shows santana's line and says "best starter in the al central?" Sure, if you are on crack.

Close second was when the same moron stood there looking at the jumbotron waiting for the Sox Split #'s for a good 10 minutes swaying the entire time..
