Two walks to start the inning. He's back to not driving off his back foot, and the ball is dying as it gets to the plate.

Yuck...leadoff walk to 9th hitter. His entire approach to lefties is so screwed when he can't throw a forkball.

Unfortunately, Jose is still struggling mightily with his offspeed stuff. Second time through the lineup for Rangers is going to be very difficult for him.

Fields struggled with the fastball that AB. At least he took a big swing on the 0-1 pitch.

No surprise Hinrich didn't show up tonight.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 3, 2009 -> 01:22 AM) Quick recap? I've been watching the bulls s*** themseleves. PK with good base running on single by AJP resulted in very long sac fly by Alexei. Seemed like a no doubter off the bat. 1-0, going into 3rd.

Thought Alexei had a 3 run homer there. Huff sure seemed to think so.

Quentin with a beautiful single that inning. Thome is the anti-Josh Fields, as he can hit a fastball but has no prayer against an offspeed pitch this season.

And they completely screwed the Bulls out of a point. Unreal!!!!!

The bad John Salmons showed up tonight. They better check that shot by Gordon again, it was a blatant 3 pointer.

They gave Gordon a 2 pointer on a ball he was 5 feet behind the line. They better check that during the timeout.

Get Tyrus out of there!

QUOTE (knightni @ May 2, 2009 -> 08:57 PM) Polonia was a good veteran hitter with postseason experience who hit over .400 in pinch hitting duties that year. Dye was a 22 year old rookie who was hitting under .200 in his first postseason. And the funny thing was that Polonia crushed it, but got caught at the fence.

Just watching MLB Network and highlights of 1996 World Series. Jermaine Dye's defense was terrible as always, but I got quite the laugh out of seeing him pulled for LUIS F'N POLONIA with 2 on, 2 outs in game 5. A future World Series MVP got yanked so a future pedophile could hit.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 2, 2009 -> 06:48 PM) Well, severe storms all over the place right now. We're looking down the barrel of a golfball/baseball size hail storm on it's way, should cross over the ballpark at 3:15 or so. The storms are reforming to the west, so as I mentioned yesterday, we might see a DH tomorrow because the Sox don't come back to Arlington this year. I would love to see a DH tomorrow!

This might be one of the least watched games in Sox history.

Sucks that the Cubs have a 4 game series against the Marlins, and they miss Josh Johnson. He's been a real fun pitcher to watch. The Marlins, as a whole, have like 8 good players on their roster. The rest of them are pretty awful, and I can't see them finishing higher than 4th in the NL East.

Excellent win...3 of 4 that we worked some magic.

Murphy's been struggling this year, but he has a ton of power.

Ugh, Jenks has no command of his offspeed stuff this season. He had 4 pitches to make one nice pitch, and couldn't do it.

Jenks had him down 0-2, and now it's full. Time to ace him.

Hawk, that definitely wasn't gas upstairs. No fastballs to Davis!

Jenks better use his offspeed stuff this inning.

Hawk looks like an idiot after saying AJP's one of our better base runners. Bad mojo heading into the bottom of the 9th.

Scotty! 1st and 3rd, 1 outs. Got to get this run in. Squeeze??
