I wouldn't say Contreras doesn't have anything tonight. Isn't that a little absurd?

Oops. maybe that fastball is not humming past 85.

Scotty nearly caught that ball. I wonder how close it was. Looked pretty close on tv.

Wow Burke homers. Glad we got the granny.

Why does the gun on the broadcast suck? Just curious.

Lightweight Everett chunks a single.

Man we have faced so many lefties this year. Our hitters are getting to be pretty good vs. lefties. I realize Thome just whiffed but he's good against lefties and AJ and Scotty aint bad either I mean our lefties vs. lefties.

My gawd, he did it again against Houston!!!

Another blast just foul. Yikes.

Oops Scotty coulda pounded that pitch.

Are all these close calls just foul going to come back and beat us later?

Cheap shot by Gene Woj of ESPN to not have the guts to write it at the time, but now write it when the heat is on Oz. Great column by the Trib calling out Mariotti. Perfect. The Trib and Southtown and Couch columns are very good in my opinion.

Oops, Taguchi's was an error. Just one hit. Amazing.

The media is hypocritical in these issues where people say insensitive things. Oz would be fired if he was a white coach. And I'm not saying Oz should be fired for this. No way. I think the "sensitivity training" is probably good for Oz. But let's face facts. The media would demand and the coach would be fired if he was white. It's that simple. That said, Oz is the best. I love his demeanor and candidness.

Isn't baseball the wildest, most awesome game? The first two games we explode to all those runs and you know that spells doom for tonight. We get what, two hits, yet still win on an out of nowhere gem by Freddie. Crazy game. It's to the Sox credit they won two blowouts, then could win with 2 hits.

Cuban's email is, or used to be put on the website. The listing I have is mark.cuban@dallasmavs.com I've gotten responses from him before. Seems like a regular guy, a regular ol' multi billionaire.

Great line, Los. Awesome. Somebody should call Mariotti on this.

That's why this retaliation crap is dangerous. You get suspended for retaliating. It's better to wait another series or two then plunk somebody and let the other team get the suspensions. It's obvious A.J. will charge the mound before long and we're going to lose him about a week when he does.

Mark Cuban also responds to email. Both also happen to say what's on their mind, which I think is great.

Oz is the best, unreal. It's so refreshing in this day and age of political correctness. If he gets suspended by baseball, you'd expect the Sun Times to suspend Jay for blasting his own paper on the radio. That's funny the Trib picked up on it and wrote it. The sports editor of the Sun Times said no comment. Priceless.

Hey lowercase, just wanted to say, great post. Great great stuff. You called out Mariotti beautifully. How can he not mention AJ getting plunked by the same "weapon." This might have been his worst idea for a column ever. Very stupid and simplistic and dumb. He's a great writer, but your post called him out beautifully!

I don't think it matters either way. Detroit punished the Cubs and is rolling along. We're doing well also, including taking 2 of 3 from Det last time we played. If Detroit keeps getting good pitching, the Tigers will be in it all the way. It'd be nice to see Kenny Rogers run out of gas or something. His performance is really big for that team.

That's awesome Garland hit a home run. Congrats to Garland. I wonder if it'll shut up some of those who think he's worhty of a Judy nickname. No Judy could hit a home run in a major league game. Garland was awesome today. Again. Allows four hits in eight innings, improves to 6-3 and hits a homer. Nice.

Exactly, it would be huge if the suckass Cubs could have won the first two games of that series while we beat Cincy the first two. It all counts.

Way to go on 'D' Pablo. Very nice play. We win.
