Fiers' nickname is Smokey - I've been on enough sports teams to take great satisfaction in good teammate's nicknames.

He looks mediocre in era - age 35 - maybe has some vet wiles in him.

Go Sox!

His home record this season was 2-1, but it came with something like a 6.28 ERA, or close to that figure. So he's hittable. I think the key for us is Dunning shaking off the nerves and at least getting thru the first couple of innings.

We need to let the kid play with the lead. Will help take the edge off.

we may not have gotten any runs but we got good wood. Still cant afford to leave too many on base today

Horseshoes and hand grenades. We need to help out our pitching today. That inning was a tease.

Moncada hit it hard. Just unlucky it was right at the RFer

Goddamnit I must be stressed...I looked away for a second and thought that HR replay was live and went into panic mode...

Ump has been generous today so far

That a-hole ump yesterday apparently told our team after the Mazara deal: "You're no-one. You're nobody" in response to the dugout anger.

 

[Jiddy]

Anderson is hitting .700 in this series...Good Lord...

 

[Jiddy]

This Canha guy...Do not like him.

 

[Jiddy]

Wow...Quickest hook in baseball history?

 

[Trudem]

Change early. I get its win or go home but man thats tough on the kid.

This move alone just shows how much pressure is being placed on this team to win immediately, because that's sports...particularly Chicago sports. I ain't gonna sweat 'em if we don't win today, but extra playoff experience this upcoming week would be very welcome.

Ol' number 1...Every time kid.
