Posts: 5994 Aug 26 01 6:15 AM the Ann Coulter of SoSH More My Recent Posts	Well, JK certainly has some interesting choices after Pedro throws his 60 pitches which should take him, realistically, no further than through the 4th inning. Wakefield is an option to suck it up and go middle relief as is Casey Fossum. Lowe will probably have to close as Urbina went 2 1/3 last night but Urbina is such a stud he still may be able to go a quick ninth or get the last out or two. It will be very interesting to see how Joe handles this one. Kim, Beck and Urbina were heroes last night weren't they? Too bad we had no offensive heroes for the last 10 innings or so of that game. Derek Lowe proved for the umpteenth time why he doesn't have closer stuff. He puts balls in play and so when the other team does get a baserunner or two, he can only hope that they hit the ball at somebody. That stinks for a closer strategy. A closer needs to be able to get a big strike out when necessary. Urbina can definitely do that and Lowe most certainly cannot. One more peep out of Lowe whining about his fate and I'm going to have to start calling Derek "De-Luwe-sional."

If he can then Pedro could probably close the game out from there and save the rest of the bullpen. Today we really need mucho run support so the bullpen can be spared.

Posts: 191 Aug 26 01 6:42 AM More My Recent Posts	That is not a bad idea to have Wake start and have Pedro come into the game in the 5th, or so. Pedro seemed to respond well when he was long relief in the playoffs vs. Cleveland. -Bill

long live max fischer	No UUU or Lowe tonight	#6	[-]
Posts: 101 Aug 26 01 8:54 AM More My Recent Posts	We are certainly NOT going to see Lowe tonight. Kerrigan had said BEFORE yesterday's game that Lowe was unavailabe to pitch, because he had gone 4 days in a row. Since he was forced into it by circumstance, you are definitely not going to see him out there tonight. UUU would be unavailable, I assume, since he's now pitched three days in a row and went 2 1/3 last night. My guess, if there is a save opportunity, would be Garces as third-string closer. Let's pray for a blowout so we can finish it off with Erdos or someone like that. Wakefield is definitely the long man - hopefully his pitches will be moving a lot better than they did last night. Also, I don't expect that Casey Fossum would be used, since he's now in the rotation for the rest of the season. He's starting on Tuesday in Cleveland. I guess if there's a bona fide emergency, they could do it, but then they'd have to call up somene from Pawtucket to make the start against Cleveland (since Wake won't be available if he is the "secondary starter" today) - and I think that's the last thing we want, considering what these games against Cleveland and New York mean now. All of Pawtucket's best starters are either here (Kim), traded (Ohka), or hurt (Crawford, Roque). Man that game last night screwed everything up, and not just because they lost.

long live max fischer	The Wakefield myth	#8	[-]
Posts: 101 Aug 26 01 1:00 PM More My Recent Posts	Wakefield hasn't complained about anything since he got booted from the rotation in spring training (and he retracted and apologized for it the next day). He's probably annoyed, but he hasn't opened his mouth about it, which is exactly what he should do. Give him a break.

If that team happens to be your team you have to be very careful. A loss like that when so much team effort is put out towards the win can really hurt the psyche of a team. This team needs to step up and forget that tough loss last night and rebound and kick a very sorry teams ass tonight.

Posts: 1614 Aug 26 01 4:53 PM More My Recent Posts	Great -- another close one. I don't have the patience or the mental stamina to tune into MLB radio tonight -- so how does Pedro look so far? Is he hitting his spots? Does he look uncomfortable on the mound? By the way, the vaunted Rangers staff has now held the Sox to 11 straight scoreless innings, if my calculations are correct. If anyone was wondering, it is NOT easier to come to terms with this sort of information with a fork jabbed angrily into one's own neck, as it turns out. Trust me...
