Haven't heard a thing.

And Minny gets Cliff tonight.

Say goodnight.

maybe the twin series will mean nothing, we go to KC and the Twinkies go to Tropicana for 4. I'm liking what I see as long as Ozzie let's his starters get thru the 7th and we don't see OD, Boone or Horacio.

Q taking 5 swings on Friday when they get to KC and will be re-evaluated then.

Sounds like he is ahead of schedule.

Assuming they make the playoffs, I'd love to see him get a few games in during that last series v Cleveland. Knock some of the rust off before the games that matter start.

I didn't get to watch much tonight, but looks like Richard pitched a damn good game tonight. Nice to see.


Linebrink just ain't right yet, that pitch he served up to Damon was just meaty.

Twins are just giving them the division.

I hope the Sox/Quentin aren't being stupid...coming back too soon from a signigicant wrist injury could seriously hurt his career...hope I'm wrong and Los Q heals like the baseball god he is!

Just got back from the bar... that call on Alexei at the plate, one of the worst I've ever seen.

ALEXEI - 20 F'ING HOMERS

Alexei might have 30 this year if he started the first month and a half of the season.

it amazing that skinny little turd can get the ball out of the park. but as a cubs fan, i love this guy. so fun to watch.

Doesn't matter if it's the Royals, or it's Floyd vs Davies, winning on the road is such a struggle for this team
no matter what the situation.

Twins on the road coming up, hopefully at least still 2.5 after today...

Huge game today.

Hunker down #####es!!! Big ####### game tonight!!

You guys NEED one of these.

Just sweep and get it over with. Because if they clinch on Friday, I'm going to kill the guy that left me a message on Monday morning about having tickets for Friday's game only to tell me he's taking his GD wife by the time I talked to him Monday night.

Terrible!

STRAP IT DOWN!

Javy breezes through the 1st.

What did Ozzie say by the way?

Something about this being the defining moment of Javy's career. He's 127-127....now is the time. Also brought up his lack of being a "big game" pitcher.



1-0


action in the 2nd!

Javy imploding as we speak.

rundowns. ####### rundowns. Love the fact Hawk and DJ are being brutally honest. They can't execute a big league run down. Pathetic. This is one of the reasons why we won't advance in the playoffs, if we make it.

great job guys. I mean really.....great ####### job!!!!!!!

Kudos to Javy for another great outing. CLUTCH.

Great Game Javy!

jesus...this is pathetic.

Calm down.

You need to win 1 of 3, and you will.

now you need to win 1 of 2

Money in the bank

I'll be shocked if they don't get swept...I'm guessing there will be a makeup game versus Detroit on Monday, and if they can win that, a one game playoff in Minnesota or Chicago(is this determined by a coin-flip?)

As for Javy, he has no place on a playoff team. Good guy, but he can't handle stress.

Agreed on the 1st part. Sox already won the coinflip, so they come to Chicago if it even goes that far.

Gut Feeling- Buehrle comes up big tonight

Jesus Christ, this is the game. C'mon Wise.

i can't even watch.

Let's be honest. The Griffey trade was horrible. We didn't need another power bat without speed on this roster. It's killing us up here.

<< just as I type this Griff hits a dinger>> LOFL

Surprised Ozzie has sat Swisher the first 2 games of this series as well. Not saying he shouldn't have, just surprised.

that ball park is a joke.

<----- Jermaine Dye

Tonights 0-4 makes his September
Batting .222 / 0HR / 6RBI
Slugging under .300
OBP around .285

Buerhle throws 120 pitches tonight.



Hope he can bounce back from this for Monday. They're going to need it.

Yeah baby! We're comin'!

We need Ozzie ball now more than ever!

it's just not possible with this lineup. Dye, Thome, Konerko, Griffey......please tell me how you play small ball with these 4 in your lineup.

Ozzie ball = 4 Hr's a game

You are right, they do need Ozzie ball.




Oh, and one other thing. Does Hawk ever stop complaining about the umps?

No he does not but apparently there was a blown call. On the radio side they were ripping balls and strikes and a play at second base. I know that Stone and Farmer hardly ever rip the umps and they were last night.

Also-

Ozzie ball is just a crafty term for the small ball. It does not exist on this team and that is why they are going home.

You don't. Look at the Twins and the Rays. They play small ball an they will be playing in the post season. Our guys can learn to work on run downs and bunting in the off season.

yeah thats what hes been reduced to. he fails to mention anything else that may have lost them the game.
oh well, i dont feel bad for them, sox fans get stone next season...

They
