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.

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.

QUOTE (YASNY @ May 11, 2008 -> 05:34 AM) I didn't see it that way. I thought Toby got him. He did, and by an inch.

QUOTE (Wanne @ May 11, 2008 -> 04:32 AM) Honestly...I think that's the first time I've ever seen that fake throw to 3rd spin to 1st move work... Sean Lowe says hello to Mark Grace.

Beltre's initial reaction was funny on that play.

No one else I'd rather have catching the ball at home on that play than Toby.

Reminded me of that game in 2005 when we got Ichiro out at home after Sexson hit a 102 mph pitch off of Jenks for a double.
