Cubs are back to getting so many bad defensive plays made against them. How many unearned runs have they scored this week? Unreal!

Come on Javy, don't let the Tigers get any momentum.

Konerko!

Someone please tell Uribe to get on top of the plate.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Apr 13, 2008 -> 06:49 PM) Fathom, Do you at all seem to think that Quentin tries to hit too many homers? It just doesn't seem like he ever hits any line drives...all pop ups and ground balls. Not that he doesn't hit the ball hard, but just doesn't seem to hit too many liners...his swing seems a bit loopy to me. I've seen quite a few liners by him between the 3rd baseman and shortstop. I was told yesterday that he's still not completely healthy, and that as his shoulder improves, he'll get more bat speed.

Nice rip by Crede, just right at Jones. I think Quentin will do a lot of damage vs Rogers, as his pitch speed is perfect for his swing.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 13, 2008 -> 07:36 PM) watching the cubs game adn the whtie sox game i suspect Ha, yes. I forgot how much Geoff Jenkins sucks. I was laughing how both Chicago teams are facing old lefty starters.

I loved how patient Cabrera was against Moyer. However, why play Thome today? He's been struggling so much, he's struggled in his career against Rogers, and he's played in every game this year.

I still contend Santana is on the decline. His home run totals last year were alarming, and they've continued to be high so far this year.

Even I'll struggle to find something negative to say about this game.

There was just an earthquake reported in downtown Chicago.

I'd like to see Ozzie put Anderson in the game for Dye or Swisher. With the wet field, you don't want to risk injury.

QUOTE (PoopsThompson @ Apr 12, 2008 -> 08:20 PM) Also Linebrink's pitch count is at 2. I'm pretty sure he comes in to pitch the 9th. Now you let Thornton pitch. This has been a fantastic game.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 12, 2008 -> 08:20 PM) haha thats an ERA killer for verlander...5 runs over 7 and 1/3....he pitched alot better than that line indicates Just like last Sunday.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 12, 2008 -> 07:18 PM) Let Linebrink pitch the ninth? Or turn it over to maybe someone like Mac or Thornton? Go with Jenks. No way do you bring in MacDougal.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 12, 2008 -> 07:15 PM) their pen was absolutely depleted...im not gonna blame leyland too much Should have brought Seay into the game to face Thome.

Wow, fantastic swing by AJ! Thanks Leyland for leaving him in.

Very nice!

QUOTE (chisoxfan79 @ Apr 12, 2008 -> 07:07 PM) we are too station to station Only way Swisher scores on that is if he knew Ordonez was playing Thome on the warning track.

Great swing by Thome. We need Konerko to just hit one of his just missed fly balls 350 feet away to center.

There's some big puddles on the field right now.

That Tigers fan almost got creamed by that bat. Good thing the guy in front of him deflected it.

Oh no, that's extremely dangerous. Thankfully he seems ok. Do some damage Thome.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 12, 2008 -> 06:55 PM) Well, we got it into Bobby's hands. That's pretty much all we can do. Why don't you post more? Even if I disagree, at least it's informative.
