QUOTE(Steff @ May 4, 2005 -> 08:49 PM) Albert was over 30 when he had his monster season with us... True, but wasn't Belle always better than Konerko offensively? I mean, even Belle's "bad" season in '96 (though I probably shouldn't comment, I only started following the team real closely in '01 or so) was really good. Ack -- I meant '97 up there...

QUOTE(Steff @ May 4, 2005 -> 08:21 PM) No arguing.. Paul says it's not 100%.. I believe him. Well, if that hip is declining that badly... then, I don't know know if I want him getting extended. A guy who will enter his 30's with a hip problem? Yuck.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 4, 2005 -> 03:18 AM) Oh boy. 2nd and 3rd. Full count... GAME OVER!!!! TWINS LOSE!

Two outs in the bottom of the ninth in the Twins game. One on, Wickman pitching, 4-2 Tribe, Shannon Stewart at the plate.

Through eight innings at the Twinkie-Dome, 4-2 Tribe!

QUOTE(KWs OK for Me @ May 4, 2005 -> 02:41 AM) Steve Stone anyone? I'd love that. I think Stone would be great for DJ. DJ could talk, but I think, for whatever reason, he'd be a little more comfortable with Stone. Probably a pipe dream, but it's a nice thought.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 4, 2005 -> 02:32 AM) Until tonight I would have said Dustin, based on this season. But I think we just saw the realigning of the planets tonight with Shingo. Two good things from Shingo tonight: 1.)He kept the ball low. 2.)He got ahead in the counts ('cept for Berroa). It's a must that he has those two things every night if he even wants any chance of succeeding. He was good tonight, but I still hope that Ozzie goes by the situational closer, rather than the set closer (like Mario has been saying). So far, I've generally liked how Oz has played the matchups.

QUOTE(redandwhite @ May 4, 2005 -> 02:30 AM) twelve thousand in attendance on a half price night... :puke It's no longer half price. It's 2-for-1 in the Upper Deck. And, do you know how cold it is out here?

Since I don't feel like starting another thread... Cleveland leading Minnesota, 4-2 in the bottom of the seventh. Betancourt is pitching for the Tribe, with two outs in the seventh. Hold 'em and go home, Cleveland! And he just got the third out. Onto the 8th -- six more outs, Tribe!

Iguchi was awesome at the plate. Congrats on your first homer in America, Tad!

AND THAT'S A WHITE SOX WINNER!!!!

2-1 count. Stay on that outside corner, Shingo. 2-2 Count now. COME ON SHINGO!

Uh-oh. Matt Stairs...

HE GONE!

Shingo ahead in the count. Gotta be ahead in the count.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ May 4, 2005 -> 02:13 AM) -Closer by commitee -home game -attempt to salvage any form of confidence ...give him a shot. Plus, for the most part, these guys are young hitters. I bet Hermy is in if it's Sweeney-Stairs. Ack, I don't like Long vs Shingo.

One out!

2-0. Shingo, what the f***. You CAN'T fall behind... 3-0. Get him out.

I'll say no, Addy. But prove me wrong, Shingo! >>>>>

Ack. I'd rather have Hermy in this situation, but whatever. Quick leash, Ozzie. A runner reaches second, and he MUST be out.

It's Shingo time... I hear the gong on the radio.

f***... Dye JUST misses a homer, missing it by mere feet... Foul ball.

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ May 4, 2005 -> 02:07 AM) I wouldn't mind another run here with Shingo coming in. A couple wouldn't hurt either. I thought Jon and Ed said that Hermanson was warming up, not Shingo...

Come on Jermaine -- we need some insurance...

CARL!!!!
