Nice catch by Jermaine! Ben Francisco = stud

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 27, 2008 -> 01:13 AM) Here's another idea... maybe the umpires should a) learn the strike zone B ) be professional and fair and not hold Ozzie's comments from several weeks ago against him. Why can't Doug Eddings do all of our games?

Dotel for the 7th?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 27, 2008 -> 01:11 AM) Nice zone blue. The umps need to be called to task after this year of asshat calls, and dumb crap like the wandering strikezone. Here's an idea....maybe our manager shouldn't complain publically in the press about umpires during the first week?

Those looked like strikes when they crossed. CQ should have known to swing after the first two were called strikes. It's ok, good to see us fight back.

Great AB by AJ!

Oh AJ, that was your pitch! BTW, we'll see Toby tomorrow!

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 27, 2008 -> 02:03 AM) please tell me this is true It is, Boers and Bernstein were saying how weird he is.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 27, 2008 -> 01:00 AM) byrd is such a b****....f***ing cheater And he's struggled with an addiction to pornography

Nice hit by OC...his only out was that filthy double play by Cleveland. How about a 2 out single?

That would have been gone in 2006 for Swishgher.

QUOTE (JFields27 @ May 27, 2008 -> 12:54 AM) Swisher will do something this at bat Break a bat?

Good job by Vazquez tonight keeping us in the game. 6-3 with the stuff he had is impressive. Come on offense!

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 27, 2008 -> 12:50 AM) Sat to long and timing off maybe? Could be...or maybe he just has no bat speed now. He had that great day with 2 homers against Guthrie on April 27th, and then he hurt himself during that dreadful tie game against the Orioles on the 28th. He hasn't hit a homer since that time, and only has 3 doubles. I don't have the slightest clue why they haven't shut him down for two weeks.

Pull him already!

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 27, 2008 -> 12:46 AM) Just checked in as I finally had some time. Thome is my PTC tonight and I am hoping this 2 run homer brings him out of this slump. I see we have 1 HR and 8 singles and correspondingly 3 GIDP's by the offense. How is Konewrko's swings looking? He smoked one to the warning track in CF. His two other at bats were bad, as he got jammed on 84 mph inside fastballs.

PK's production was sorely missed. Just DL him already!

Back above the Mendoza line!

Nice hanger...3-1 Please call up Josh Fields and start him at DH tomorrow.

QUOTE (joeynach @ May 26, 2008 -> 07:59 PM) Yeah I agree you gotta get him outta there. He is way way to of a free swinger and he doesn't handle the bat well at all. AJP loves to swing at the first pitch, hes not a count worker, get him out of the 2 hole ASAP. Who cares about taking pitches in the 2 hole? We don't have a base stealer at the top of the order, so you're better off having one of your best hitters at the top so they get more plate appearances.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 27, 2008 -> 01:30 AM) we must lead the league in 1 pitch ABs You made such a great point earlier about Ozzie stating he doesn't have the pieces to put runners in motion. Twice tonight, he had a good runner at 1st with a good contact hitter at the plate. Results = DP.

QUOTE (stretchstretch @ May 27, 2008 -> 01:27 AM) Pitching can only keep this teams in so many games where they score OC and Swisher should be added to that group.

Nasty double play by Cleveland....keep them stationary Ozzie!

Ramirez is really swinging the bat better. Can we try a hit-and-run with OC at the plate?

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 27, 2008 -> 01:20 AM) id like to see AJ switch up his signs a bit...javy has gotten very few swings and misses for javy, and it seems like the indians lefties have guessed right a few times on his inside fastball.. Francisco just missed that!
