I’m going to be considerably inebriated tomorrow at a bachelor party which includes a trip to the Sox game. I know a few of you posted that you’ll be in attendance. Normally, I’d suggest a little get together, but I think I’ll otherwise be occupied avoiding the security on the outfield grass.

No recap from me tomorrow.

inebriated now or later????

Was busy boozing it up the rest of the night at a party in Bedstuy. Great piece of hitting by Uribe and I give BA credit for at least trying to put it in play oppo before strking out on a couple of pretty nasty breaking balls.

Great win that stops the bleeding.

Not only did he clean up floyds mess but he managed to score the winning run. Q! aint got shit on ARus.

Pretty decent amount of excitement in the air, regardless of the previous sweep. All the homers were no doubters and it was wierd watching Floyd dominate on one ab and then get tatooed the next. Everyone was nervous as hell when BA k’d and Uribe was up. I figured either grand slam or swinging K. Single was fine. I am slowly but surely trusting and wanting Mr. Thorton to get more time

?

I don’t know how to feel exactly.

I like it but still don’t think he’s on our team.

I know that makes no sense but it’s just what I feel

The Sox have now sold more than 2 million tickets for the 2008 seasons … this is just the 10th time in club history the team will top 2 million … this is the fourth straight year the Sox will top the 2 million mark (also done in 1990-93).

The team acknowledged before the game that newly signed veteran Esteban Loaiza is not ready to help. Loaiza, 36, signed on June 4 after being released earlier by the Los Angeles Dodgers, was placed on the disabled list. But the move was made not because he is hurt but to give the right-hander a chance to pitch in the minors and ’’stretch out.’‘

’’We got him for a reason,’’ manager Ozzie Guillen said of needing a long man for the bullpen. ’’We need to stretch him out a little more. I don’t need just another body. But we couldn’t find him any innings to stretch out. He fully understands that.’‘

When Loaiza was signed, Guillen and general manager Ken Williams identified him as someone who could pitch middle innings and allow Nick Masset to be used later in games. But Loaiza showed low velocity when he did throw and conceded he had not been throwing or working on conditioning.

’’He was let go, so where would you do that?’’ pitching coach Don Cooper said. ’’It doesn’t surprise me. We’ll go from there.’‘

The Sox hadn’t seen Loaiza throw before signing him, but Cooper said the former Sox starter and All-Star ’’is not up to par. He’s got some soreness because he hasn’t been throwing or (working on) conditioning or throwing to hitters. It’s too much to do here, so for his benefit, we’re sending him out.’‘

Loaiza is to start for Triple-A Charlotte on Monday and again on June 21. He is to throw three innings or 60 pitches.
