Crede gets the 2nd out as well.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:22 AM) I just noticed that I've never seen anybody in the crowd smoking. Is it banned in the ballparks or are baseball fans just healthy, clean living type people? Its banned at I think all stadiums, although some stadiums have certain areas where you are allowed to smoke (in the concourse) but not in the seats.

WOw, another amazing play by Crede. Had the Twins camera man totally fooled.

That was such a bad pitch by Freddy...WOW.

Torri Hunter hits one Anderson can't get and its 4-2 Sox.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ May 15, 2006 -> 05:41 AM) Not being silly. I think Radiohead sucks eggs. Can't stand 'em. I feel the same way.

Off the bat I thought that was going to be an RBI single, but 3rd baseman catches it before it can fall. 2 down and Pods on 2nd for Thome.

Pods steals 2nd. Good throw and it would have been close.

Podsednik hits a single passed a diving 3rd baseman and shortstop. I think he'll be running. QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:15 AM) I, for one, totally expected that to be the case today. I predict rain in your avatar's future

Scotty Pods and Chris Widger have all our RBI's thus far in the game.

Someone is warming up in the Twins pen. Don't know who, but I saw them warming up on that foul ball Anderson hit. Anderson pops up to Morneau.

Widge hammers out a HR and its 4-1 Sox. BA is now up.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 15, 2006 -> 11:06 AM) Nice catch there by BA, or should I say good positioning. Luis Castillo is said to be really battling a sore knee, there is some doubt he'll be able to make it thru the grind. Definately a mixture of both, but its a play a lot of Cf's don't make, imo.

Uribe hit it hard but to Torri Hunter.

Mack with a 2 out single past Morneau. Morneaus is a piss poor defensive player and I think at quite a few first baseman make that play.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 15, 2006 -> 10:55 AM) Crede goes the other way for a base hit. He really waited on that curveball. That was an impressive hit and its one he wouldn't have had a year ago.

Rodriguez robs Konerko of a single after Thome whiffed. This may be one of those days where Thome goes down 4 times.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ May 15, 2006 -> 10:50 AM) I'm missing DJ tonight. Anyone else watching on MLBtv? Ya, I don't have DJ today. I got the Twins cast on Xtra innings.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 15, 2006 -> 10:49 AM) I dont think he will be better than Santana. Santana's motion with his fastball and change are identical. Thats what makes him so great. Liriano has a better slider than Santana, a faster fastball. But is not the same pitcher. Lets also see what the grind of a season will do for Liriano. Lots of innings. King Felix looked unhittable last year. This year not so much. Liriano's change is pretty good too and he has a very good teacher in Santana and Radke who will help him master that pitch. I think Liriano/Sanatana have a shot to be the best 1-2 within 2-3 years. Nice job by Freddy to minimize the damage.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 15, 2006 -> 10:47 AM) Sac fly, 3-1. Boy I am really starting to like DJ, in terms of what pitches he suggests they throw in certian situations. He is almost always right on. They did try to go inside on Morneau but Freddy left it out over the plate a bit. I've long said that if I were a GM, he'd be one of the first people I interviewed to potentially be my manager. I think very highly of DJ. He's very intelligent and a good individual and I think he'd be an above average manager. He really understands baseball and I like the insights he adds to the telecast (and like you say he's usually pretty accurate with what he says). On the other hand, Cintron half assed that play at 2nd and made the play much closer than it was.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ May 15, 2006 -> 10:46 AM) Well, at least we got the out. Did Cuddyer take 3rd? No, he should have though. Anderson airmailed the throw and Cuddyer should ahve immediately known that couldn't have been cut off and been at 3rd. Morneau hit it hard too, luckily it was right to Anderson.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 15, 2006 -> 10:43 AM) No, I would have replaced Loshe with Liriano, not Silva Ya, I know that. I'm just saying I think Liriano is better than Hernandez (who is damn good too).

Runners on the corners with no one out. Cuddyer just ripped a single with Hunter in motion.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 15, 2006 -> 10:41 AM) I would have gone with Loshe, but whatever, I guess its pick your poison. Liriano is ridicuously good. I think he's better than Felix Hernandez.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ May 15, 2006 -> 10:36 AM) now who is going to hit the clutch homers in the playoffs? Buehrle
