YOUK

Youk!!!

I am just glad Cora did not hit into DP.

[TheKilo]

Timlin for the 8th?

[TheKilo]

Nice inning from Timlin. Francona should send him out for the 9th.

[das11209]

Myers still can't get Papi out...

[ORS]

I'm listening on XM. Someone please tell me he doesn't have Papelbon up.

[TedWilliams101]

Francona doesn't learn. It looks like hes still gonna use him in a 5 run lead. WTF. Let Gagne give up 4 runs and earn a save.

[See Red]

Papelbon is throwing in the pen.

[das11209]

Paps was warming up - hopefully he won't have to pitch. Looks like Boston just bust it open.

[riverside sluggers]

The brilliance of Francoma's use of the bullpen. Lets put the closer in with a large lead in game 1 of the double header. He really wants to give Gagne a save chance

[ORS]

I'm not one proned to rash decisions, but if he uses Papelbon in this game, he should lose his job, no matter what happens the rest of the season.

Tito always said that if paps starts to warm it's an outing for him, he will usually come into the game

[TedWilliams101]

6 run lead. I think it's common knowledge not to use your closer in a 6 run game during the first game of DH. I guess Tito didn't get the memo.

Still with a 4 run lead and the offense facing the White Sox pen in the 9th... why start warming up your closer in game 1 of a DH

Make that an 8 run lead

[TedWilliams101]

Ok, you can't use Paps now. 8 run lead, no way. Sit him down, throw some trash out there to get 3 outs. He warmed up, big deal, he can now cool down. Hes a big boy.

[See Red]

Tek!!! 11-3!

[ORS]

I don't care what the farking rules are, pitching him in this game now is insanity.

[das11209]

Logically this only makes sense if the second game rains out.

 

Good for the chick who got the ball.

I have no idea, i'm not saying i agree with him using paps......i'm just reporting what i heard

[das11209]

Myers lost the strike zone - does anyone know who is available for white sox in the pen for Game 2?

[TedWilliams101]

There has been plenty of time to warm up another pitcher, come on Tito, use your head for once.

[das11209]

Wow - he could not get Cora out..

[mtbykr]

keep pouring it on guys cause they are going to let Myers die out there then probably DFA him

[mtbykr]

Myers can't catch a break...he get's in the way of AJ making the out at 1st

[das11209]

This chick that got the ball is so hyper - she is gonna booze tonight and ** her braines out

[TheKilo]

Timlin back out, thank the Lord.

[TedWilliams101]

Thank the lord. Tito has something left in that head of his.

[TheKilo]

This was the move even if it was still a 4 run game, too.
