WHAT A BLOCK BY CHANDLER.

Peralta retired; 1 out

Tigers failed to score, so Rodney doesn't have any room for error. Heart of the Tribe lineup due up too.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 11:14 AM) Where does Bill Walton get his heights from? Gordon 6' even, Deng 6'5"? Gordon is probably 6'2"--even thought the media guide says 6'3"-- and Deng is definately 6'9". Walton says some dumb things but generally I don't mind him. He makes me laugh a lot (mainly due to his own foolishness, but its entertaining none the less and thats what commentators jobs are).

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 11:13 AM) They're planning to start in 20 minutes, and the Bulls game was on the scoreboard. Sweet deal. I'll get to catch a few more innings before heading over to my easter bbq.

OH MY GOODNESS. LUOL WITH AN INSANE SHOT when he was flagrantly foul. Got a shot at a 4 pt play now.

Tribe in a jam. Runners on the corners and Cliff Lee was taken out (he's pissed at Bruce Froemming; Whats new). Betancourt going to try and bail Lee out. Maggs up and Det has a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the 8th. Lets get an insurance run Maggs

Heat with a 6-0 run, this thing is down to single digits.

Bulls up 14 with 9:45 left. A win and they are in the playoffs

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 11:00 AM) I'm glad to here that. I'm still coming to terms with some of the finer points of the rules. Hey Deploder, check my post. The game starts back over, so we all got to pray to the rain gods and get some sun out so we can get 5 innings in

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 11:00 AM) I always thought it went back to the current half inning... I'm trying to find the policy on Google, but I can't seem to find it.. Trust me, the game starts over. A suspended game is another story, but rain delays don't count as a suspended game (unless it occurs after the 5th inning).

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 10:58 AM) I thought it its before 5, it goes back to where it was pror to the inning? No, game starts over. No stats count and the game is replayed at a later date from the 1st.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 10:57 AM) After 5, the game is official and it ends if cancelled. If its prior to 5, and it gets cancelled, it goes back to the inning currently being played, and starts over. So, if we make it up some other time, it'll be top of the 3rd, no outs, instead of 1 out. I'm glad we got the 2nd inning done before this, so Thome's homer didn't go away like Paulie's last year! GO SOX! Am I incredibly wrong. I always thought if they don't get 5 in the entire game starts over. Now a suspended game is another story, but thats if the game ends while its tied due to some type of event (a blackout, or if a stadium has a curfew where games can't go on past a certain time).

QUOTE(DePloderer @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 10:55 AM) So how many innings need to be played before a game cannot be called off? It would have to get 4/1/2 innings in (Ie if the Jays get there ab's in the top half of the 5th out of the way, than its an official game; assuming the Sox are winning at that point).

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 10:54 AM) DJ forgot about opening day. They weren't doing the broadcast (or were they???).

Rain Delay time or so it looks. I hope we can get this game in.

Luke Schneser puts up 4 straight points. LUUUUKKEEE

Bulls Update: 84-74 w/1:15 left in the 3rd.

I love the STOOGES.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 16, 2006 -> 10:50 AM) Good pitch by Towers to get AJ. Hit it hard but right at the RF.

Ball 4 base hit.

I thought that was 8 straight balls. But now its a full count on JD. Towers has some good movement, its just moving into the middle of the zone right now.

4 straight Balls...JD up now.

YESSSS...Jim Thome to Right Center and its 5-0 GOOD GUYS

Gooch doesn't get the job done, but I got a feeling Thome will.
