QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 6, 2007 -> 07:05 PM) Not sure what you really could have expected though. I just don't know how KW can sit back and think this lineup is acceptable. I'm sure he'll say he's shocked when Thome and Pods try to return and either aren't as effective due to overcoming the injury or they re-injure themselves right away.

The Nationals have two of the worst players I've ever seen get playing time in the majors in Wilson and Casto. Meanwhile, the Cubs keep getting break after break this week, and are on a nice run.

I hate everything Clemens stands for right now.

Such an embarrassing lineup

Absolutely the type of match I expected....set up perfectly for a rematch. Things seemed just so scripted. I loved Floyd's entrance.

cough Steroids cough

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2007 @ May 6, 2007 -> 03:45 AM) When was the last time we had the hitting and pitching hot at the same time? The '05 playoffs? If we could ever get both going at the same time, we'd be outstanding. First half of last season.

About time we were the benefits of bloopers falling at big spots.

Hooray!!!! Great job by the bullpen. Go enjoy the Bulls now.

I think Fox just sped up their radar gun for that pitch.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 5, 2007 -> 10:33 PM) Anybody else wondering how we will manage to snatch defeat from the elusive jaws of victory in this game? If it happens, I'll only laugh.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 5, 2007 -> 10:30 PM) I missed it: what did Erstad do this inning? Hit a 10 hop rocket back to Oliver, but Oliver was blinded by the specialness that is Erstad.

Can Mackowiak hit a sac fly? Grinder ball at it's finest!

Haha....grinder baby!

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ May 5, 2007 -> 10:20 PM) So Greg Walker is the reason Sweeney just doubled down the line? Okay... It was sarcasm by Karros.

That a boy Sweeney! We need to get at least one run in here.

Tough timing there with the Kentucky Derby.

Wow, you have to take the guy at 2nd there.

Better get more movement on that slider.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 5, 2007 -> 09:49 PM) What's even funnier is how the Angels announcers recognize how he lost the ball in the lights immediately, yet Hawk and DJ said the "veteran" Erstad was "deeking the runners." LOL. The guy on third was going to score no matter what. I thought he was trying to deek the runners also.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 5, 2007 -> 10:06 PM) With that low of a pitch count, I would've let Garland try to pitch over it. Have him build some confidence. Everytime he sends someone out there, and then immediately pulled it makes it look like he's making a mistake or second doubting himself. I understand, but I would hope Garland would have enough confidence and maturity that after 7 innings, he understands being taken out.

Actually a decent offspeed pitch. If MacDougal's coming in, better see only sliders.

QUOTE(SoxGovernment @ May 5, 2007 -> 10:06 PM) so a manager only has a good season if he manages a world series.........gotcha You have to know your personnel.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ May 5, 2007 -> 10:03 PM) Typical Ozzie. Exactly, he'd rather have Garland face the righty, Thornton the switch hitter, and then go to the bullpen. I'd much rather he just let the righty start the inning. I don't think his style of managing has worked in the last year and this season. I hope Ozzie knows that it's Orlando Cabrera that owns Garland, and not Francisco Cabrera.

We haven't used our main bullpen guys in ages. Go for the f***ing win Ozzie! Thanks for leaving him in Ozzie for that batter. I hate you!
