Good inning for Batista...we had our chances to blow this game open.

I missed the play, but could Cabrera have made the play on Ichiro's infield single?

QUOTE (Capn12 @ May 11, 2008 -> 10:09 PM) Gavin just flat out doesn't have it today, which is fine, it happens. Hopefully he can battle through 5 innings. Hopefully we get someone else up, as this is by far the worst he's looked all year.

Ugh, no reason for Mariners to be in this game.

What happened on the Quentin play? We should be up by 3 or 4.

Why can't Swisher field a ball cleanly anymore?

Swisher chases ball 5....good start though.

You would think Crede would be great at hitting sac flies. He's now 1 for his last 13 with RISP. A hit by Swisher here would be huge!

Ibanez has played some really bad defense this series. Crede needs to get Thome in.

Hawk would be having a coronary with how bad the umpire in the Cubs game is. Gallagher has about a 3 foot plate to pitch to, and Gonzalez has to throw it right down the plate for a strike.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 11, 2008 -> 07:20 PM) Did the delay prevent Zambrano from starting? Weak! A lot more teams are taking precautions it seems when the weather conditions are bad.

Batista's been awful this season, as his 1.80 WHIP would dictate. He doesn't give up a lot of homers, but he does walk a lot of hitters.

I think it's cool that Robin Ventura was throwing batting practice to the team yesterday.

Great win! So much fun watching CQ and Anderson.

Interesting he'd bring in Thornton to face a lot of righties. That's very un-Ozzie like.

QUOTE (G&T @ May 11, 2008 -> 04:52 AM) Why do I feel like Pablo is the emergency catcher? It used to be Mack The most fun I had last year was watching Pedro Feliz catch an inning in a Giants game with Noah Lowry in RF.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 11, 2008 -> 05:50 AM) Yea with Devin Hester pitching. I could only imagine Hester as a pitcher...he'd forget the signals every inning.

Stud!

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ May 11, 2008 -> 04:47 AM) They never run for the catcher . If AJ gets hurt during the 1st batter in the 9th we got no replacement. That's bulls***, I've seen Mark Buehrle catch the "first pitch" many times.

Holy cow, that a boy Toby! I'd love to see us have Ramirez run for him.

QUOTE (RealSouthSider @ May 11, 2008 -> 04:43 AM) im calling a CQ homer HBP for CQ, it's been a few days. Does CQ wear an elbow pad?

Just BARELY got it in enough, good outing for Linebrink.

No biggie, get Clement out.

Linebrink's got some heat tonight.
