was it colin who suggested that we were in for a "offensepalooza"?
because i’m starting to question what exactly an “offensepalooza” is.
You're on thin fucking ice my pedigree chums, and I shall be under it when it breaks. Now, fuck off.
I believe you have to be high to experience it.

Not a good inning for AJ.
Why so serious?
This game needs some flava
"I’m gonna rise up, gonna kick a little ass. Gonna kick some ass in the USA. Gonna climb a mountain, gonna sew a flag, gonna fly on an eagle. I’m gonna kick some butt, gonna drive a big truck. I’m gonna rule this world. I’m gonna kick some ass. I’m gonna rise up, gonna kick a little ass. Rock, flag, and eagle!"
as the most interesting man in the world would say, "no."

Ramirez now has allowed 14 hits and 4 walks against just 1 K in 7.1innings with the Sox
AIM: SouthSideCheat
He's still getting acclimated to his clubhouse locker.
We expected what from him? Got lucky with Tabasco so far, but they were Royals, fer Chrissakes.
Bring up The Arsonist.

damn... glad I skipped this one
I turn on the game just in time to see Swish is slamming into the green monster.. I saw the score and changed the channel
Usually yes, but tonight no
not when the Sox are getting smoked… plus some interesting news stories over the last 2 days
yeah
i can’t believe they extended the transfer window in the scottish premier league until the end of september 1st!
brian anderson would've caught that...
Q! on high, hear my prayer.
In my need, you have always been there.
The lead is small, we’re afraid,
Let us rest, heaven blessed.
Bring us home.
Why so serious?
without the offense, though...

pitching change for boston tomorrow
michael bowden now pitching for the red sox
brian anderson would've caught that...
my little brother played ball with bowden for a handful of years before he got drafted.
he used to catch him. always used to rave about how good the kid was before the sawx drafted him.

Broadway in - Oz throwing in the towel
but he's a capt'n, or is that crap'n
Broadway is terrible
This is such a joke.
Why so serious?
I appear to be doing my best SSH impression.
Not going to post anymore unless I have happy things to say.

Its ok - Sox locked in what season ticket holders they have for next year
but he's a capt'n, or is that crap'n
The thing that concerns me absotively, posilutely the most......
is our shitty, shitty, shitty defense.
And it seems that the powers that be are unconcerned.
Pitching, defense and health.
rofl - I heard that... sure Morgan isn't filling in
but he's a capt'n, or is that crap'n
i suppose there's some truth there
ortiz had a cheap hit and once the bases were loaded he didn’t give up any more runs.
brian anderson would've caught that...
If ya smellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll what the Hawk
is cookin’

this game was not a barn burner
but it sure was a bean blower.
brian anderson would've caught that...
A few more there would have gotten 'em
really overconfident.
Pitching, defense and health.
Look at the positive... we hardly stranded anyone tonight
but he's a capt'n, or is that crap'n
Anyone else get the the Bobby Jenks Toronto series ticket discount call?
but he's a capt'n, or is that crap'n
Gotta put that one behind us.
And kick the living shit outta them the next two.
Pitching, defense and health.
Not to be outdone,
the Rays up 13 – 1 over the Orioles.
Pitching, defense and health.
Dif being O's are not in race -
shame Ozzie was getting everyone ready for their rest in Oct on Wed.
but he's a capt'n, or is that crap'n
oakland's lineup is fugly
2 guys batting over .250
sweeney & suzuki
brian anderson would've caught that...
Including suspended game 3 and 5 in last 8
And it easily could have been 2 and 6… this is not a good trend
but he's a capt'n, or is that crap'n
But can he play lead off?
but he's a capt'n, or is that crap'n
Two fucking hits?
I also like how Dice-K’s two best starts this season (and maybe his career) are both against the White Sox.
No excuses tomorrow. I don’t care if it’s Michael Bowden over David Pauley. It will be the guy’s first major league start. They need to rock his ass after this embarrasing loss.

Yeah, say goodbye to that 1.5 game lead...
Twins beating the A’s 6-0.

Only good news of the day...
Scott Linebrink (shoulder) will throw a simulated game Monday and expects to rejoin the White Sox by the middle of next week.
Linebrink said he won’t be rushed back into the setup role. “Even when I’m activated and they want me in a game, they’re going to be careful,” he said. “But if they see I have good enough stuff in these simulated games and get out there in a non-pressure situation and able to get through it all right, we can start working my way back into that role I was in.”

Yeah, this game is over...
Twins put up another two runs. 8-2 Twins.
Dan Meyer and Kirk Saarloos are terrible.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
Meh.
This was a game they were always very likely to lose — the fact that it was 8-0 rather than 4-2 is irksome, but no more than that. The next 2 were the obvious winnable ones, so get ’em tomorrow.

No one likes to spend time in Boston, but it would have been fun to see the offense not sleep the whole game
Some random dude up tomorrow=Sox get no-hit.

It's a local boy...
Michael Bowden, who attended Waubonsie Valley High School in Aurora, Illinois. He’s only 21 years old but he is supposed to throw gas. Here’s a scouting report on him…
http://www.soxprospects.com/players/bowden-michael.htm
While the White Sox were busy drafting Lance Broadway at 15th overall in 2005, the Red Sox drafted this guy 47th overall. Brutal.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
I also seem to remember...
Kenny wanting Bowden from the Red Sox during either the Buehrle or Dye trade rumors.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
not that it's gonna come into play tomorrow, but he's also supposed to be a great hitter and an awesome athlete.

Well...
Lance Broadway has a porn star name… so he’s got THAT going for him.
As far as pitching goes… did I mention that he’s got a cool name?
"god, you’re fucking stupid."
-- Larry
we need to get broadway to have a few decent relieft outings
and then have kw ship his ass out like bmac
takes some real stones for the one certifiable cocksucker on here to jump into this convo.-mm
I don't think there are any teams that would see value in Broadway...
Every team out there has a pitcher in their farm system that could pitch as well as Broadway. He is destined for a spot as a bullpen’s jizz-mopper.
"god, you’re fucking stupid."

i'm sure kenny could find a suitor
although i do agree with what you’re saying…i just think getting broadway some experience can do him some real good

jacoby ellsbury has a pretty douche-y name
but he was available when the sox picked broadway. that would have been a nice pickup.

In 2005...
the Red Sox drafted:
- Jacoby Ellsbury
- Craig Hansen
- Clay Buchholz
- Jed Lowrie
- Michael Bowden
Ridiculous drafting there.

bowden was the last of those picks at 47. they did a great job, but you'd better have some success with 5 picks in the top 50.

Matchup: White Sox (76-58) at Red Sox (78-56), 7:05 p.m. ET
Probable Starters: Mark Buehrle (174 2/3 IP, 4.59 RA, 1.32 WHIP, 107 K) vs. Michael Bowden (144 1/3, 2.93, 0.98, 130—minors)
Pythagorean Record: Chicago, 77-57 (687 RS, 587 RA); Boston, 79-55 (698 RS, 568 RA)
Hit List Rankings: Chicago, #4; Boston, #2
Prospectus: With Josh Beckett now on the DL due to elbow inflammation, the Sox have called up 21-year-old right-hander Michael Bowden from Triple-A Pawtucket to make his major league debut tonight. Taken in the supplemental first round of the 2005 draft with the 47th overall selection, a pick that the Red Sox received as compensation for the loss of Derek Lowe to free agency, Bowden was rated by Kevin Goldstein last offseason as the sixth-best Red Sox prospect, and third-best pitching prospect behind Clay Buchholz and Justin Masterson. After putting up mediocre numbers in his first crack at Double-A last season, Bowden dominated the circuit in his return engagement this year, with 2.67 RA/9, a 0.92 WHIP, and a 101/24 K/BB ratio in 19 starts. He then moved up to Pawtucket in late July, and in seven outings for the PawSox posted a 29/5 K/BB ratio. Mainly a fastball/curveball pitcher with low-90s heat, Bowden has “funky mechanics,” according to Goldstein, as his delivery “almost has a hitch in it and comes in a lot of parts, so it’s easy for him to get out of synch.” So far this season nothing has put Bowden out of synch, and his promotion means that all five of Boston’s first-round picks in 2005 have reached the majors. Thanks to the departures of Lowe, Pedro Martinez, and Orlando Cabrera to free agency following Boston’s title, the Red Sox chose five times between picks number 23 and 47, landing Jacoby Ellsbury, Craig Hansen, Clay Buchholz, Jed Lowrie, and Bowden.
Dustin Pedroia collected another four-hit game in last night’s 8-0 win over the White Sox, his major league-leading sixth of the season. He also leads the majors in three-hit games with 19, and in hits overall, with 178. The 5’9" dynamo has not cooled down for two and a half months; in 63 games from June 14 onward he is hitting .384 and slugging .605. That puts him on a pace to collect 215 hits for the season, which would be the third-most ever by a Red Sox player, behind the 240 of Wade Boggs in 1985 and the 222 of Tris Speaker in 1912. While Pedroia has been drawing fewer walks than last year, he has hit for substantially more power, with a .485 slugging percentage that rates well above his 75th-percentile PECOTA projection.
