why thome is 0-7 vs lopez

I feel better-- a little

[yankeessuck013]

good job lopez

 

c'mon craig

[jsinger121]

Lopez does his job....now its Hansen's turn

[ORS]

Lopez seems to have Thome guessing pretty good. HE GONE!

[a700hitter]

Whew!!!

[RoyNHSox]

LOOGY Lopez strikes out Thome.

[HeadOfSoxNation]

Wow...very nice by Lopez.

[yankeessuck013]

ok...one more

[ORS]

Craig's done a good job of keeping the ball down with good movement lately. I'd love to see a weak chopper to Cora.

 

BTW, I met Craig's ladyfriend before Monday's game in Tampa. Well, she said she was his ladyfriend. She's a senior at SJU, and is from Boston. I got down to Tampa early, so I decided to kill some time at Dan Marino's, a classy sports bar near the Trop. Anyway, the reason I'm telling you this is that I gleaned a little nugget of info from her. Apparently, Craig, like a lot of the players reads the posts at SoSH. Someone speculated that Theo was in Florida to scout Willis' start against the Sox and that Craig was used a bunch in that series so the Marlins could get a look at him. Hansen seems to think he will be traded in a package for Willis.

Nixon with another clutch catch. Let's let him walk after the season. f*** him Let all the key guys from '04 go. Better yet, dump him for a prospect at the trading deadline.

I like the kids. I like the kids a lot.

[jsinger121]

big outs from lopez and hansen

[RoyNHSox]

Lopez, Trot, and Hansen coming up big in the 7th.

[Youk Of The Nation]

That...was....AWESOME.

[RedSoxRooter]

HANSEN IS SO FUKING INTENSE!

[Youk Of The Nation]

Slight payback for El Duque doing the same thing to us last year...

[RedSoxRooter]

I hope FOX switches over after the Mets game so I can watch the end.

I was at two of those games, and he was used in back to back games. He looked good. Getting Willis would be the blockbuster that I'd love to see. He's the s*** -- the D-Train. A young stud that knows a lot about pitching.

[See Red]

That was amazing, right there. Unfortunately, Fox has me watching the Giants/Dodgers game. <_>

 

Man oh man. Bases loaded -- Thome, Konerko, and Dye up -- and we get out of it? Insane.

 

I happen to remember an instance in which Damon, Renteria, and Papi failed to drive in a run in the same position last year in the ALDS.

[jsinger121]

Hansen is needed on this team this year because trading him would weaken the bullpen considerably because it would make us use bums like tavarez and seanez in key spots.

Same...I think the DTrain would mesh really well in this clubhouse, too.

We need a starter. We are forfeiting once every 5 days and Wakefield's back is kicking up. We still got MDC who is looking more dependable than Hansen right now. Also got Timlin and Paps. Rudy and Tavaqrez get to split garbage time.

Game isnt on here, I'm bored

[HeadOfSoxNation]

What's everyone's bet for how Lester finishes up the season?

[ORS]

Yeah, I can't see how anyone can think Hansen would be more valuable to the '06 team than Willis. Waving the white flag every 5th game needs to stop. Good relief pitchers don't mean jack when there is no lead to protect.

[See Red]

Let's hope we don't return the favor here with the bases loaded!

[a700hitter]

C'mon Nixon, go for the salami and calm down JSinger about your power production.

[Cocos Disciples]

9-5

[Youk Of The Nation]

Lets show them how to score with the bases loaded.

[jsinger121]

C'mon Nixon, go for the salami and calm down JSinger about your power production.

 

easy flyout. but ya francona should keep a guy with 6 homers in the #5 slot.
