Oh Toby, that was beautiful. Get down a good bunt OC.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 23, 2008 -> 02:59 AM) My oh my how Scott makes this look easy. His command to the first batter was arousing.

QUOTE (South Side Fireworks Man @ May 23, 2008 -> 02:59 AM) I don't know what to think about Swisher or Cabrera. I want to like both of them, but they're not making it easy. Has Swisher been prone to extended slumps throughout his career? Is Cabrera a known slow starter? I hope so..... Their lack of doubles is stunning.

Oh Linebrink

Oh please be careful with Sizemore here.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ May 23, 2008 -> 02:57 AM) I still would never trade his baseball card. I was thinking yesterday that my 3 favorite baseball movies are Major League, Little Big League, and Mr. Baseball. Randy Johnson jumping up celebrating after Griffey Jr. robs Lou to end the game is one of the best scenes in cinematic history.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ May 23, 2008 -> 01:55 AM) So much for Swisher being an offensive force with the move to a hitter's park in USCF. His home line was .200/.300/.314 coming into tonight's game. I'm just thankful that Gio and DLS have been brutal. There's no doubt in my mind Brian Anderson is a better hitter than Swisher now.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ May 23, 2008 -> 01:55 AM) Linebrink will be dead by July. As you made note of last week, PK is the one who's become Jerry Johnson. When he gets a single, people go crazy.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 23, 2008 -> 02:51 AM) hardest ball pk has hit in a while We have a 13 million dollar singles hitter.

I missed a good portion of this game, but has anyone hit it to the opposite field besides Toby?

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 23, 2008 -> 01:47 AM) alexei turns the DP quicker than even uribe i think...fastest on a sox 2b ive seen i think I was watching Padres game last night, and their announcers were saying how Iguchi has a good arm when turning the double play. I almost threw up in my mouth.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 23, 2008 -> 01:46 AM) The 3-4-5 tonight, 0-8 with 5ks. That can't be right with CQ.

Let's get someone on for Toby!

Nice turn, didn't think they had a chance.

Next time we face Laffey, play all righties. He's just ridiculous against lefties.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 23, 2008 -> 02:41 AM) even with quentin on the move on a wild pitch? is it only with 2 outs that dye can run? Yes, only with 2 outs.

Awful

Shock me and make contact.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 23, 2008 -> 02:39 AM) absolutely no reason for dye not to be on first base.....the ball was sitting in center field...dye had all day to run to 1st after diaz called him out No drop 3rd strike in that situation.

Bad call by Diaz costs Dye a chance to knock in a run with less than 2 outs.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ May 23, 2008 -> 02:34 AM) So is his OBP and his SLG% isn't impressive. His slugging pct is higher than Swisher's.

FWIW, it's games like this against soft-tossing lefties where I wish we had Josh Fields somewhere in the lineup.

Just saw the play...not as bad as I thought it would be. Let's get someone on for CQ.

What happened on this OC play?

OC is 5-40 with RISP and 5-26 with RISP and 2 outs.
