QUOTE (rangercal @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 12:30 AM) Game 3 Vs Bos in the 2005 ALDS says hi One game in 5 years..... Bunting has been much more of a negative thing for the Sox than a positive.

QUOTE (AddisonStSox @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 12:31 AM) ...tell that to his bust in Cooperstown. He's a great slugger, don't get me wrong.

Suspend this game, and make it up at a later date.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 12:27 AM) Yeah, I was hoping the Orioles would trade for Sabathia and put him in there against Big Jim. Cuz, you know, Thome hit two home runs off of him about a month ago, demonstrating to all of us that, actually, he's GREAT against lefties. I'm sure there's a lot that will disagree with me, and I'm probably wrong....but I don't think Thome is a winning baseball player.

Boone's going to start the inning. Hopefully he doesn't treat Millar like he's Barry Bonds.

Why would OC finally try to steal when there's 2 strikes? Nothing like distracting the hitter.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 11:23 PM) I cant stand Thome He's honestly the last person I want up in situations like that. I'd rather have Toby Hall bat against a tough lefty reliever late in the game.

Ha, worthless in these situations!

Can Pablo bat for Thome?

They need to stop this game for a few minutes and put more dirt on the field. I wouldn't be surprised if OC steals 3rd.

Wow, great hustle by OC! No one else on our team goes for that.

Swisher had a real good AB, thought he hit that one harder.

Uribe!!! Haha

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 12:14 AM) HOW THE f*** CAN ANYONE BLAME OZZIE RIGHT NOW!?!?!?? SWISH AND BA CANT GET BUNTS DOWN? YEAH, f*** YOU OZZIE! Some of you are f***ing ridiculous. It was a fantastic call and a brilliant idea. Swisher should have never been bunting. And see my post about the inside fastballs they were obviously throwing to Anderson. I know you've played baseball...the inside fastball is the worst pitch to bunt.

QUOTE (CWSOX45 @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 12:12 AM) The finger can be pointed at many things if we lose this game. If you strand 12 runners on base you don't deserve to win. One thing that always irritates me is that we always struggle bunting with men on base. It drives me crazy. It's a fundamental part of the game, yet on our team it's a fundamental flaw. It's cold out....of course the Sox won't hit well.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 12:12 AM) Jenks s*** the bed, but to have to use your closer in this game is reason enough for a L. This game should have been put away in the 5th. Unreal. The organization's horrible decisions regarding the middle infield is killing this team right now.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 11:09 PM) Game over. Brian Anderson, go away. It's not Anderson's fault. He's just one of many. If our fat closer could retire the miserable Orioles, this game would have been over.

Can we trade Ozzie to the NL so his hard on for bunting would be more suitable?

And now the Orioles lead. Linebrink keeps throwing these 91 mph fastballs right down the plate. We suck!

They were throwing everything in on Anderson there. The hardest ball to bunt is something hard and in.

Terrible managing by Ozzie today.

Why Ozzie why?

Great job by Crede! I'm surprised Markakis was playing that deep. Be a hero Anderson!

Oh Quentin! I really would rather see Crede try to hit it to right field instead of bunting.

How about a HBP, single, sac bunt, walk, and a sac fly?
