Bats Bail Out Buehrle While Bullpen Bastes The Jenksgiving Turkey

Kong's 3rd home run in as many days.

Kong's 3rd home run in as many days.

For a game that started so bitterly with the Mariners scoring five runs in the first two innings, this one-run Sox winner is simply all the sweeter.

Despite a shaky Buehrle start, the Sox were able to outscore the Mariners with runs scattered over four innings.  Beckham, Konerko and Ramirez all hit long balls (surprisingly, as did Chone Figgins for the first time this season), but the final nail was a Rios RBI single to left field in the 7th inning, to give the Sox the 6-5 lead and eventual victory.

When Buerhle was benched after the 5th, the Mariners only mustered two more hits against the spectacular bullpen of Santos, Thornton, Putz, and Jenks.  (Both hits were off of Thornton, who was not in his usual Easy Heat form). 

Jenks struck out the side to close the game with the one-run lead in his hands.  A closing situation not unlike the one last Wednesday night in Seattle.  But unlike last week, Bobby was vicious.  Bobby was hungry.  Bobby came ready to play (heh).  

Alexei made another incredible play going to his right tonight; at least the third just like it in the past week.  His defense has been disgustingly beautiful lately (read: since Teahen disappeared), and his bat is just as hot these days.   

One more tomorrow against Seattle, the 10th and final match between the two teams this season.  The record so far is 8-1 in favor of the Good Guys.  

I do declare I'm going to miss these Mariners!

Couple okayish singles and then a hit batsman

He was still hitting 97, 98 on the gun. The problem was his locations weren’t great, and (like usual lately) his sliders weren’t worthwhile to my eye. Too many high and slightly outside fastballs that were relatively easy takes for the opposing hitters kept him out of good counts.

just one failed rundown.

buehrle picked branyan off first, alexei ended up throwing the ball away, figgins scored and branyan went to third then scored when the next batter hit a sac fly.

not on that play it's not.

i think he’s incredibly awesome, but the fact is he threw the ball away. (if you want i’ll allow you to place a small part of the blame on konerko for not getting him the ball quickly enough. i know you want to.) ;-) but if that throw is on target figgins is out.

if we had met KenWo it would have been a mini SSS meet-up

It was good to see you and the sideburns man, and what a game. Just like you said, even though we were done 3-0 from the go no was too worried. It’s the mariners and the sox are playing some good baseball. Although I was quiet pissed when Figgins homered.

Anyways, rough night after. Came to the work to find a beer mug right in the middle of my desk and then remembered that I took the beer out of the bar and made a pit stop at the office. I seriously have to stop doing that.

you tell 'em bobby boy
“Before I got in the game, some (idiot) was out there telling me I (stink),” Jenks told MLB.com after striking out the side for his 21st save. "You know, where has he been the last six years that I’ve been doing my job?

“Situations like that, it bothers me a little bit. But not enough to where it affects me. I look at it and say, ‘Who is this guy? Does he know baseball?’

“Is he a fan or just a numbers guy and looks at the numbers and judges where I’m at. And obviously my numbers aren’t good,” said a defiant Jenks with a laugh. “I’ve had a few bad ones so far. All and all, in save situations, I’ve been doing my job when I’ve been healthy out there.”

So, browsing other teams sites.. I came across this
Usually a team that’s struggling like the Cubs are plays up to or down to its competition — meaning they’d dominate the bad teams and play .500 ball against the good ones.

Is that correct? I thought playing up or down to your competition meant you play worse against bad teams, and better against good teams? Have I had this phrase wrong?

by Grinder in Training on Jul 29, 2010 9:40 AM CDT reply actions  

no, that is not correct.

therefore, no, you are not wrong.
if a team dominated the bad teams and played .500 against good ones they would probably be in the playoffs. that certainly does not describe the cubs. they just stink.

hey swisher...........you know.

by BuehrleMan on Jul 29, 2010 9:44 AM CDT up reply actions  

I read it the same way.

Playoff-bound teams are supposed to dominate the bad teams (like the Mariners) and hold serve against the good ones. Teams that do that generally win 90+ games.

by VAChisox on Jul 29, 2010 10:21 AM CDT up reply actions  

Cubs are 10 games under on the season-

fuck detroit.

Porcello and Damon are the only two guys I expect to have better second halves than first.

It seems like everyone else on that team is either hurt or due to fall back to earth.

lol, i saw that too and was like "huh"????

usually a GOOD team plays .500 against other solid clubs and makes hay against the shit teams. Kinda like what the Sox did to the Cubs this year.
