QUOTE(BHAMBARONS @ Oct 4, 2007 -> 05:34 AM) Nope he wasn't he was on the radio post game saying his adrenaline was pumping causing some of his sinkers to be left up a little too much. Too bad nobody got to see him on his 42 inning streak he was dominating nobody stood a chance against him. I saw a shutout he pitched in Atlanta, and it was the best pitched game I had seen all year until Beckett's game yesterday. His sinker against lefty hitters that night was amazing. It reminded me of the legendary game D. Lowe pitched against the Sox about 6 years ago.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Oct 4, 2007 -> 04:42 AM) Me too, that sinker is unreal He wasn't even close to being on tonight either.

Just a horribly managed game by Piniella tonight. Unfortunately, the Chicago media won't have the balls to rip him.

Hell yeah! Big win.

Ugh, this reminds me way too much of Game 1 of the NLCS against the Marlins from 2003.

Where the hell was that pitch?

Use two hands Chris!

There's Howry again with his invisible fastball. Byrnes' bat speed looks awful.

What were the Fox commercials about, in terms of shows, when the Sox were in the WS? Wasn't it Prison Break? No wonder it was the greatest week of my life.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 4, 2007 -> 04:12 AM) YES, good inning and now it's 7-8-9 due up in the 9th against Valverde. I like where this is going. Soto, Theriot, and Ward. If they get someone on for Soriano....throw him nothing but splitters.

Excellent inning by Lyon! He's been superb vs the Cubs this year. I'll take at least a two run lead into the 9th inning with Valverde on the mound every game.

Great job CoJack! Another bad managing move, as Jackson is a contact hitter. Should have walked him to get to Young, who would have a tough time hitting Marmol.

That might be as far as Ojeda can hit the ball.

I really wish he'd let Webb start the 8th, especially to face Ramirez and Floyd.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 4, 2007 -> 03:56 AM) Yeah he's ready for 3 days rest now, but their 6 outs from losing against Webb and one of the best bullpens in the league. It's October, if your worrying about pitch counts and 3 days rest, your making a major error. Lou has managed a horrid game tonight. I agree with you...not having Zambrano bunt earlier was just terrible.

Will Melvin go to Lyon or leave Webb in there?

Holy cow, that might be the most surprising homer I've seen since Pods off of Lidge. You had the guy with the nasty K/9 inning numbers against the guy who K's a ton. BTW, did anyone get worried that it might not have been gone due to the camera angle and Stockton not sounding excited?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Oct 4, 2007 -> 03:53 AM) I'm bewildered as to why Z is out. He's not due up here anytime soon (and he hit the ball hard anyways), he only threw 6 innings and 85 pitches. I also doubt he'd have cramps, it's Phoenix so the humidity is absolutely zero, plus the Cubs don't have the bullpen depth to just do this for the heck of it when their starter is pitching really well. To have him ready for 3 days rest. However, if they were going to pull him early, they should have had a ph for him with the bases loaded.

QUOTE(ChWRoCk2 @ Oct 4, 2007 -> 03:49 AM) Cubs bullpen isnt all that great, its alot better than going up against Zambrano whos been on tonight. The Dbacks offense makes any pitcher look on. Zambrano got into a lot of bad counts tonight, but the Dbacks are just too weak to make him pay.

Much better inning for Webb there! Hopefully the Dbacks just swing hard and hope they hit Marmol.

This has the feeling of the inning that the Cubs go ahead. I can't imagine how the Dbacks are going to be able to score against Marmol. Marmol vs Mark Reynolds next inning should be comical.

Chris Young just chase ball 4, and then K? I still am pissed that the ump changed the face of the top of the 6th by calling that 2-1 pitch on Steroidosa a ball.

Good grief, you've got to be kidding me. What a freaking lucky team. Reynolds was playing way too shallow there. No way Theriot was going to try and bunt for the hit.

Ugh, he has nothing on these pitches. Biggest batter of the game here.

Come on ump, that's been a strike all night! Webb is really not sharp right now. Soto is going to be swinging out of his ass on this 2-0.
