  1. QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 12:53 AM) I have to disagree on multiple levels. First, I think he plays too shallow, particularly in CF. Second, Wise has a much better arm than Owens and is at least as good as Owens in general defense. All told, I'd still rather have Swisher in there though. In CF, Wise did play shallow. For some reason, he plays extremely deep in LF. But yet, he does have a better arm. I think Swisher's a very good LF.
  2. QUOTE (Brian @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 12:52 AM) Lou has Samardjia ready but leaving Marshall in to face Manny. Hmmm Obviously to face Ethier and Loney. That's stupid managing.
  3. Also, I have to say that I thought Gomez's fly out to Griffey was a home run off the bat. It was the only ball hit, prior to Thome's homer, that had the correct trajectory. Konerko's was one of the longest pop ups I've seen.
  4. That fly out looked very similar to hit homer.
  5. I have no idea how that ball didn't hit the pitcher's mound. From the angle near the RF foul pole, that throw looked like it was going to hit square on the mound.
  6. I feel like Furcal swinging at that terrible 3-2 pitch could have been a turning point.
  7. It would be nice to get Manny to the plate this inning.
  8. Also, who stayed after the game for the celebration? We were going to, but left after about a minute of celebration when things seemed to calm down on the field. It was so packed at the park last night. The bathroom situation on the concourse was crazy!
  9. I figure I'll get a quicker response in this thread, but how's Burrell's back?
  10. My friend at work guaranteed Lee would hit into a double play in every game of the series.
  11. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 01:24 AM) fathom, I don't think Saito looked all that great this last month. But he's supposedly 100% now. I think he matches up well with their hitters. He was terrible against them this season. Ugh, Blake has to make that play. How about one of Lee's double play grounders?
  12. QUOTE (rangercal @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 12:15 AM) Have you ever lived in Chicago? I don't feel bad at all. Trust me. Hell no, screw them. The spontanous singing of "Go Cubs Go" at work today was pathetic.
  13. QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 12:15 AM) Lowe has looked good, beside for that one hit by Derosa the Cubs have had s*** going the whole time. He knows that the offense just picked him up. He's given up 6 hits in 4 innings
  14. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 12:14 AM) If Lowe can hold them down for a couple more innings the Dodgers will be in good shape with their bullpen. How has Saito looked since coming back? Lowe hasn't been sharp this outing so far.
  15. Can the Dodgers put in Brian Anderson for defense?
  16. What were your favorite crowd moments last nights? My top 5 were: 5. The "Paulie" chant after Thome's homer 4. The play at the plate 3. Thome's homer 2. Span grounding out in the 9th inning for the 2nd out 1. The double play in the 8th inning The reaction after the double play was awesome. The whole park was like "oh s***, Jenks has a chance to close this out".
  17. I thought for sure Loney was going to K. I didn't think it was gone due to his reaction on the swing.
  18. This is amazing...Dempster could easily have 10 walks in 5 innings.
  19. QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 12:02 AM) Manny....they won't throw you a 3-2 fastball! Wow, terrible pitch selection.
  20. Manny....they won't throw you a 3-2 fastball!
  21. QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 11:59 PM) Ugh, Dodgers making a ton of outs on 3-1 counts. Dodgers just aren't putting good swings on the ball.
  22. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 11:31 PM) Speed. Which is really ignorant, as Wise is terrible on defense. He plays extremely deep, yet he's terrible on plays near the wall.
  23. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 2, 2008 -> 12:28 AM) Eh, Gameday makes 2 of them look like they'd have been strikes Not with this ump's tight zone. Dempster never throws a fastball when he gets 2 strikes on the hitter.
