and that next one.

where was that last pitch? squeezing like crazy.

QUOTE (G&T @ May 18, 2008 -> 03:45 PM) Generally over throwing a fastball leaves it up. Right? SF announcers giving a tribute to Hawk and his vernacular. i guess it just looked like he was falling hard off the mound and that the pitch then missed the target and was generally in the 91-93 range. i've never been great at diagnosing pitchers but i figured i'd give it a whirl. but this inning looking good.

QUOTE (G&T @ May 18, 2008 -> 03:41 PM) Actually, Danks was throwing 93 last time out too. I don't know if he is over throwing or not, though I thought he was over throwing in his last outing. Perfect game broken up by the pitcher drawing a walk. I like it. i'm not talking speed necessarily - there were a few fastballs he threw after that homer that were visibly overthrown in terms of missing location down and in. i'm sick of pop ups btw.

Danks draws the walk!

QUOTE (G&T @ May 18, 2008 -> 03:39 PM) He seems to be missing over the plate, which isn't what you need. Ramirez flies out to the warning track in center. he's been overthrowing on his fastballs too. love to see us working the count on cain.

QUOTE (G&T @ May 18, 2008 -> 03:36 PM) Danks get out of the second allowing only 1. 1-0 Giants. here's hoping he can bounce back and regain some control... otherwise it's gonna be a long game.

ump is squeezing that outside edge...

danks suddenly has no control. first inning he looked on point - now... gone.

THAT WAS SICK!!!

yeah i'm taking back my earlier statement... it's gonna be a pitchers duel.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 18, 2008 -> 11:17 AM) someone else can update the stats...I just needed to get this posted oh yeah and Danks something something weed something something pitch well something something Cain sucks something something McCain joke cuz of Cain something something Sox should win i dont know why but i feel like our offense may wake up a bit today. no reasoning at all for that premonition, but it led me to sit cain on my fantasy team so... lets make sure it happens or i'm finna be pissed.

QUOTE (jackie hayes @ May 18, 2008 -> 11:23 AM) I don't disagree with that, but "pretty cool" != "an honor". It may be a neat thing to do, but I wouldn't feel like I was paid a compliment, that's all I'm saying. gotcha. yeah i wouldn't refer to it as "an honor" i guess either - so we're on the same page there.

QUOTE (jackie hayes @ May 18, 2008 -> 10:45 AM) I'd do it for work, sure. But I wouldn't gloat about it. Not sure why it's such an honor, but okay... dude just being on a major league field is cool. when i was an extra in flags of our fathers and we shot in wrigley field it was just awesome. because the park at night under the lighting they had just looked beautiful (and that's a feat for wrigley). I'm just saying i think it'd be pretty cool to throw out a first pitch regardless.

whatever man, it's for work first of all, but secondly, it's throwing out a first pitch at a major league baseball game. I'd brag about it too. It's not like you were there to watch the game too or rooting for them to win or whatever else. who gives a s*** which teams are playing. my 2 cents.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 17, 2008 -> 05:26 PM) They said that it's serious but guarded right now. He's awake and talking. Non-life threatening, but it may be political career-ending. hmm interesting to see how this all plays out.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 17, 2008 -> 02:02 PM) Twas a seizure. hopefully it's not a huge deal, both my parents have had seizures that were caused purely by stress and sleep deprivation. fingers crossed it's nothing more serious.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ May 17, 2008 -> 07:51 AM) It was definitely Hawk, and DJ agreed with him It was nice to see Alexei wait back on an offspeed pitch and unload on it like that. The kid has some serious pop and i can't get over how seriously silly his mugshot is.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 15, 2008 -> 04:07 PM) Jetski Is he one of the state "regional" delegates or one of the 45 that go to Denver? one of the 45. craziness. meaning his name will probably end up in news stories or on tv if/when he decides to switch. pretty cool.

ps just an interesting tidbit, my dad is an Edwards delegate from Iowa... i'm not sure yet where he's decided to go or if he'll stay with Edwards. Too bad Edwards endorsed because he was looking forward to that call from Obama and Hillary and was planning on asking them for a jetski.

here's why the Edwards endorsement matters and the right thing at the right time: Obama IS the nominee, the math all but proves it. So what did West Virginia show us? Obama has a HUGE problem with blue collar whites. So the smart thing and the right thing to do for the party was for John Edwards to come out for Obama while the media is talking about his blue collar problem. This will help erase that. I'm sure John would rather Clinton won, but since she WON'T this is the best way for him to still make a difference in this election and help this party win in November, which is the most important thing. He needed to come out for Obama and this was the best time to do it.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 14, 2008 -> 09:16 AM) Hey Reddy, Edwards got 7.33% of the vote in WV. not bad for someone who dropped out months ago. i was just gonna effing post this. this is the real victory tonight. guess we could have won WV if he'd stayed in. lol

i have a feeling we're gonna see the return of the comedy central this year... will any of these teams have 90 wins?

as of Jan. 12 so there's obviously been progress since but:

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 11, 2008 -> 03:41 PM) Does it seem to anyone else that the ump is being a bit generous with Bautista's strike zone ? i thought the same thing... couple reeeally wide strikes called
