A: How did you feel about Contreras before the All-Star Break? Wanted him shipped off for a Burnett or somebody B: Do you think the Sox will view Contreras as a valuable part of the team after the season is over? yes C: Do you think Contreras will be trade bait after the season is over? Kenny is always dangling, but he only if the guy is an impact bat D: Do you want Contreras to be trade bait after the season? no E: Do you feel that Contreras could sustain this type of success, or do you think Cooper has caught the proverbial "Lightning in a bottle"? He can sustain it, this is the guy that the Yankees wanted and the Orioles saw when they were 2 hit. F: Did you think that Contreras was worth his contract when he was acquired? not even half of it G: Do you think that Contreras is worth his contract now? yes

Crede is by far the best at it when it comes to homers. When he knows its gone, he puts his head down and runs the bases.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Oct 19, 2005 -> 07:13 PM) And Garland went on to shut them down for the rest of the night. Another case of why showing up the oponent only hurts your team. I can't stand it when they stand at the f***ing plate watching their homeruns, it's one of the worst things about baseball. Manny annoys me so much when he does that. He just stares at the homer, takes his batting gloves off and the starts running and doing his two finger point towards his dugout.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2005/writ...playoffs/1.html Other really good nuggets from Tom Verducci: I though that was some interesting info passed along from a guy, I normally don't like.

YES!!!!1

1 more.

2 outs.

Let count go till a batter gets on.

3 out, very stupid play by Kong.

Squeeze with Aaron? Although, K-Rod would be tough to squeeze on.

Good at-bat by Carl.

Come on Carl, sac fly at least.

yes!! $1 million more for PK

walk them loaded, we will need all the runs we get.

Ball 4, Kong even though you are a power hitter, go opposite way for the sake of the team with a fly ball.

1 more inning, HOLY s***!!! Let Count go, here is pitching phenominal and has the 5-6-7 up who are 0-8 against him.

Glad we got over that 5 out thing, 4 left.

this is undoubtedly Count's last inning, but that would be one hell of a start if he could go 8.

Why Ozzie?

Just for supersitions, I would like a leadoff walk and a DP. I don't want to get to 5 outs.

K looking, no one expected that pitch, that was wicked. But Joe comes through. Just bring Neal in to start the inning, that is how he is better this year. Give Cotts Cabrera and Anderson, then Jenks can finish it.

3-2, look heater that is all he can get over now.

s***, come on Pods 2-2 make it happen, infield single something. We need 1 more at least.

a bunt might work here with the way K-Rod falls off the mound.
