Yep, that crashed the server. They quickly got it back up though
That is insane. I noticed WSI went out too, and thats pretty rare.
Awesome turn out today...too bad I can't say the same about the game
Koch looked pretty stinking solid in my book. His velocity was better then I expected and he had good control. He threw one fat pitch in the two batters he faced and it happened to be ripped for a double.
I'm actually a lot more confident in him then I have been. Marte looked absolutely flat so I hope he gets healthy.
One positive. It wasn't Koch that blew the game. It would of been awful if it was him in his first game. Marte has earned some slack, although from his first pitch I could see he looked flat.
Lets get em on Wednesday.
Interesting, this is going to be his last batter. Koch and Marte are up in the pen.
I think Ozzie wants to see what he has in Cliff. I expect Cliff to throw a good sinker and get the dp ball.
Speaking of which, it should be great having a reliever that throws the sinker. Could lead to a lot of groundballs
Passed ball there.
I think the key to Willie's success will be going more to the short and 3rd so he can take better advantage of his speed.
I think he will have a good year though.
2nd Inning
Thomas singles
Carlos Lee singles
Konerko rips a double to right field (Scores 2).
Alomar hits a 2 out 2 run homer
4th or 5th inning Lee hit a homer (Looked like he just missed it, but it kept carrying into the power alley).
7th inning
Rowand singles and then hit and run and Alomar singles (Great play) and they 1st and 3rd to start the inning. Harris hit a line shot and they got doubled up.
But Jose came through with a double and then Maggs with an RBI single (Sox scored 2 in the inning).
Royals got an unearned run in the 2nd or 3rd and then Santiago hit a solo shot after a great at bat. They just scored on an Aaron Gile single and George Brett was going nuts (Damn him).
In the chatroom, I called Maggs single too
We were also saying how the Sox need to score a few more runs, then Buehrle in the 7th, Marte in the 8th, Koch in the 9th.
