Hello? Anybody?
First, i guess.
Sox down 2-0. I hate Vernon Wells
He who hesitates is tagged out between first and second base.
2 on, 2 out for Dusty.
A homer gives us the lead!

He seems to be getting better every year.
It couldn’t hurt.

Dice-K is undefeated on the road?
damn, we really do need that guy

Dice-K
Could this be his first game without a walk this year?

Nevermind
He’s done it twice before, although one of them was only in 4 innings.

Varitek cannot switch hit.
He is now a right-handed hitter only.
He who hesitates is tagged out between first and second base.
Cora
Is really slow. I could run faster than he can, no joke.

That Kennon Fontenot dude for that Louisiana little League team
could run faster than half the sox roster
He who hesitates is tagged out between first and second base.
Oof
Ells just ran into the wall, he might be hurt
He who hesitates is tagged out between first and second base.
right eye, it looks like
sunglasses getting caught in the eye? Its like a scene from Saw.
He who hesitates is tagged out between first and second base.
damn that roof opening! causing him to put on his sunglasses!
i think im gonna be sick…. we cant afford to lose him!
He who hesitates is tagged out between first and second base.
And he wears contacts
which isn’t helping
He who hesitates is tagged out between first and second base.
He's rattled.
He thinks Ells is hurting ’cause of him.
He who hesitates is tagged out between first and second base.
And now a single.
at least he hasnt walked anybody
He who hesitates is tagged out between first and second base.
TB
We’re too far back to win the division, IMO.
Yankees were like 13 1/2 back last year and almost came back
He who hesitates is tagged out between first and second base.
Thats a hard one
but ChiSox. We can come back i n the division
He who hesitates is tagged out between first and second base.
Daisuke's best performance since his second game?
His really on made 2 bad pitches, and unfortunately both were hit for HRs. His pitching strikes and getting some nasty movement that has resulted in 7 Ks through 4.2
by Gnick on Aug 24, 2008 2:52 PM EDT reply actions
Yeah, that was good.
Lugo would have missed it, ran back and get it, thrown it 5 feet over Youkilis’ head, then cut off the throw to third base… You get the point
He who hesitates is tagged out between first and second base.
Is it me or does Pedroia intentionally make every pitch eyeball level?
He’ll duck down to take thay eyeball level swing.. Even in the on deck circle he swings high?
it seems like all warm-up swings are high.
He who hesitates is tagged out between first and second base.
First Walk of the day:
Intentional, given to Matt Stairs.

How's it people?
Youk… ugh…
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
Why the hell is Ells in leadoff?

Come on Masterson. Show'em how its done!
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
I'll take a leadoff homer by Tek.
Gotta get back into the one HR per game streak.
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
Go Tek!
Is it me or does he have a hitting streak going?
Check yesterday.
If he didn’t go hitless, that’s at least 5 in a row including today. He had a HR in three straight before yesterday.

Also, welcome to OTM.
Is your last name seriously Ells or is Ellsbury your favorite player?
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
Tek went 2 for 4 yesterday.
My last name begins with L and I like Ellsbury. It’s also a play on Superman’s real name (Kal El).
Not sure I get the Superman reference, but cool.
Here’s hoping Ells hits a HR.
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
Wah. So much for that.
Thanks for the welcome, BTW.
I have to be nice to people for a while so karma doesn't bite me in the ass.
If you read my Fanpost you’ll see what I mean.

Yeah. There's a backstory to my Rays-hatred that is kinda explained in the comments .

Behind Cora and Crisp, but in front of Lugo.

And he K's on a pitch over the middle
Damn…

Damn White Sox can't tee off in Chicago against the Rays.
I hate the Pale Hose. I hate the Rays. I hate everyone (except the Red Sox, who are borderlining if they don’t win in extra innings today).
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
I swear if we lose this game I am rooting for the Wild Card.
And even that we are struggling for…

One pitch outs rule!
Thank you sir, may I have another?

4 pitch outs work too.
One more…

Apparently, Tek didn't feel the need to add to the HR party.
Or Cora. How the hell does Cora have 34 homers in his career?

Hey guys
Just dropping by to say that if MDC manages to get the save, Lowrie would have won us one game, while Lugo never done that. And to point that if MDC don’t get the save, this is all on Tito, because 16 pitches is not too much.
It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

Double post is better than trolling
Got a bad connection here, and I can’t believe it’s Sunday and I’ve got so many things to do.

Not sure if that was an insult, but whatever.
I can’t believe I have to go to school tomorrow. Isn’t one week enough?

I've also have school tomorrow
And I have to read a giant book, and write something about it, and I’m going berzerk here. :)

Get off the net, chug a Red Bull (or two seven), and pray like hell.

Ok. Just making sure I wasn't turning the good guys against me.
If all else fails in regards to the book, just start making out. It will make you feel better at least.

Afternoon All
law school sux—I feel as if I don ’t know what is going on with the Sox right now – out of the loop.
Sadly, I see MDC pitching
Go Sox
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
I'll fill you in:
we’re free falling in the standings and are struggling just to beat the other team that ends with -ays
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
That's funny
MDC totally &completely sux
I still think the Sox will make the playoffs
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
We'll make it, at least as a solid Wild Card.
I wouldn’t mind a Rockies-ish run to end the season though. Only, without the end result.

Looks like it might be one of those days for MDC...
you know, the one that happens so often that maybe the good days should be referred to as “one of those days”?
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
CWS have the tying run on 2nd in the bottom of the 9th vs the Rays
Wheeler is the pitcher against Konerko
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
Full count...
It would be a nice time for Konerko to wake up.
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
TIE GAME!!!!
Konerko knocked in the runner from second!! The runner got thrown out, but the catcher allowed the ball to bounce away!
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
are we rooting for the Rays or White Sox?
It’s not clear to me which is a better option. I think the Rays are going to make the playoffs one way or another.
If it came down to the worst:
I would rather than the Rays in a one game playoff for the division than play the Twins/White Sox for the Wild Card.
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
Rays are five games ahead
with five weeks left in the season. It’d be nice to catch up, but I really think we’re stuck with the three-teams-for-two-spots scenario between the Red Sox, White Sox, and Twins.
Game
Got to go. Go Sox!
It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.
MDC gets a 1-run save.
In other news, hell is a frigid -10 C, with light cloud cover, so residents should be able to see the migrating airborne swine.
Turning to the world of sport, the Sox have taken 2 of 3 from Toronto on the road. They remain in the playoff race.
Wasn't the first part sport?
Flying pigs = fun!

im commited on anything that hurts the white sox
They do it all with gills!
Anti-AJ now?
It kinda looked to me like he was trying to turn around and saw Aybar and he was like “hehehehe…i can get out of this without having to run a lot”
Don't question my choice of teams, or I will have to go all troll on you.
I was at this game,
and at the one on Saturday. This one was… better.
I might post a few Rogers Centre thoughts later, but for now, I’ll just mention that there was some ballpark chatter that we might be getting John McDonald.
