QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 11:33 PM) I already do not like the tone of this game. From pitch one. I guess Dice-K is the reincarnation of Greg Maddux.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 12:31 AM) OMG @ THAT 0-2 STRIKE TO SWISHER. WOW. Someone's getting tossed tonight.

Only one run....good job Javy!

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Aug 30, 2008 -> 12:14 AM) well he hasnt been bad this year because of bad judgments like that one he's been bad in my view b/c he's hurt and not getting off the throws like he used to His judgment has been awful on when to charge choppers. I'm actually surprised he made that play, as he's booted about 10 plays similar to that.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 11:12 PM) Wow, what a joke. Get your head out of your ass Crede. I can't believe some people still try to argue that he's a good defensive player.

Is Crede that freaking stupid? Throw the ball home!

Javy looks just horrific tonight. Going back to last game, that's 6 in a row he's allowed to reach base.

I hate Angel Hernandez...he's such a POS. Anyways, I hope our hitters realize there's a small strike zone tonight.

As jphat says, let's hope it's not one of those games. That was a fantastic play by Ellsbury.

I didn't now this, but Marmol has allowed 2 hits in his last 17 innings pitched. How come he throws all sliders and can stay healthy, while Linebrink throws all fastballs and can't?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Aug 29, 2008 -> 10:03 PM) how about the 3-1 call to kosuke and the howard play at 1st? cubs really getting some help from the umps...they are more vulnerable in the playoffs than they look right now, theyve been pulling games out of their asses lately...and i dont think their starters (particularly dempster and the august version of Z) are going to match up against good offensive teams in the postseason too well.... That Howard call was just awful at first base, but the way things are going, I'm sure Cubs would have found a way to win anyways. They're so much better than every other team in the National League.

Rich Harden's ERA for the full season is now under 2. Great trade Billy Beane!

It's Palin, according to Fox. You have to wonder if this move was made with the focus on getting Hillary's voters to vote for McCain.

Great job by the A's.

Denard Span is freaking awesome.

I think CNN is going to interview that crazy Clinton delegate again.

The relievers in the National League are awful! Cole Hamels dominates the Cubs at least, which is promising in case they face each other in the postseason.

I'm really beginning to wonder if Caleb Hanie is the best QB on the Bears roster. His ability to allude the rush is impressive.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 03:08 AM) This. Tonight he was leaving his pitches up and just didn't look sharp. But I really haven't seen anything else that speaks to a "wall" he has hit. I don't know where someone would be getting that idea. Ok, "wall" reference aside, what type of schedule should Danks be on the rest of the way? Keep him on the normal 4 day rest rotation?

It happens...we've been playing close games for a long time now. I was thinking yesterday that we could have easily been on a 12 game win streak.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 01:37 AM) In his last 4 starts he has a 2.42 ERA. What wall are you speaking of? Well, I know I'm not the only one who believes in this. Quality posters on this site have made mention of his high inning totals (compared to last year), as well as his inability to keep the ball down in his past few games.

OC's going to be very pissed about that final play. Not going to lie, I was hoping they'd make the play.

Any chance that OC doesn't homer here?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 01:48 AM) I meant Broadway, but whats the difference, really? Russell at least seems like he could be a bullpen arm down the road. Broadway sucks, plain and simple. How many more years do we have to keep him in the organization?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Aug 28, 2008 -> 02:45 AM) Russell blows. huh?
