no mack and no pods. celebrate.
also thome sitting another one out is smart given that a lefty is on the mound.  i'd like to see stewart in the lineup, as i imagine he could at least match old man sandy's .167.  but what the hell.  go sox.

Much better
But I've still a half bottle of vodka left from last night.

Just in case.

Good feeling about this one, though.

I have good feelings about this one too.
Buehrle will shut the Royals down tonight, even with Old Man catching.

by hawksview on Sep 2, 2006 5:57 PM CDT reply actions  

Brian Anderson in the 7 hole!
Wow.
Also I'm guessing Paulie is starting to have a "Big Hurt-like" affinity for hitting as a 1st baseman as opposed to a DH, hence Gload getting the nod at DH tonight.

by james@lifeinthecell on Sep 2, 2006 6:06 PM CDT reply actions  

Why not put Gload at RF
and Dye at DH?

Just a little tweak to the lineup.  Otherwise, looks good.  Gload is the best hitter off the bench.

Is something wrong with the WGN gun?
Not only did JD strike out, but he did it on three pitches, all at 87 mph according to the WGN gun...OUCH.

not a good start
i agree with whoever said dye should DH today and make gload play right.  he looked bad on that 3 pitch strikeout.  must be hard carrying this team on his back all the time.

BA in CF
That would of been an easy double, maybe triple by DeJesus with Mackowiak out there.

by wsoxfan72 on Sep 2, 2006 6:56 PM CDT up reply actions  

Ozuna was backing it up perfectly.
So I think he would have gotten a double.

from where his mitt was

maybe he didn't want to take his eye off it, but he still coasted somewhat, maybe he wasn't used to the lights at Kaufman

mack should not have been stealing on that pitch to dye.  not when he's got a hitting streak on the line.  

otherwise, great game.  good pitching, good defense (other than that hit that brian missed) and some timely hitting.

what's more important
trying to win or some hitting streak? we needed another run with the way our pitchers have been and tactics (and obviously the numbers) say you steal there to put the guy in scoring position.

and actually it's not a bad call trying to get into scoring position with two outs
Free Ross Gload

by james@lifeinthecell on Sep 2, 2006 8:55 PM CDT up reply actions  

Everybody is entitled to an opinion,
but not all opinions are created equal. You have got to try to get into scoring position with two outs there. JD had plenty of chances to continue his streak, and left all four of them walking back to the dugout with his bat on his shoulder. Unless you had JD pegged to hit safely until sometime next May, the streak meant nothing.

by larry on Sep 2, 2006 8:54 PM CDT up reply actions  

now that's cool
JD could be sulking cuz he was 0-4 with the golden sombrero and had his hit-streak ended with the CS by Mack and yet he's still joking around.

That's a great attitude, and it makes me feel way better about what's going on in the clubhouse.
