You can feel the intensity with the team tonight.

Hopefully Pods with K looking later tonight, so he'll keep up his 55 game streak of a grounder to first base and a K looking in every game he plays.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:46 AM) Time is running out for the Sox. They better get hot and stay hot or they'll be sitting at home in October. We're not going to be able to afford many games where we lose, and they win.

Cintron really should play more games against pitchers with good sliders.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:45 AM) The cure for all things that ill the As will be a pull only offense that is trying to go yard in one of the largest pitchers parks in baseball. At least we have our 3 best pitchers going at Oakland.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:43 AM) Why keep Joe Kennedy in that long?s Do the A's have much to play for now? I thought they were up a few more games on the Angels. What a terrible managing job.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:42 AM) If Ozzie has its way it will be Owens. He has to have his worthless noodle armed no hitting guy, who has one talent and that is speed Because it fits the Marlins offense formula he loves. I think it will be Pierre.

Thanks Oakland. Not shaping up to be a good night.

Anyone else believe we're going to see a new CF next year?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:38 AM) Yes, Miracle homerun, if you have tivo, go ahead and rewind. Only Vlad hits those pitches with consistency. Juan Rivera is a notorious low ball hitter. Thankfully he hit that low slider into a DP in the 9th last inning.

QUOTE(South Side Fireworks Man @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:36 AM) Will the Sox score more that two runs tonight? I think they will....but Buehrle isn't done giving up homers.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:36 AM) In the first inning? You are pitching around a guy with nobody on. Last time I checked, Matt Stairs wasn't up.

1 pitch down...6 pitches to go.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:32 AM) i have no problem with people getting on him...but people who say riveras homer was a "meatball" just arent familiar with what a meatball is To be honest, I'm more concerned about the fact he has no change-up....again!

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:30 AM) If a meatball is a breaking pitch 1 inch from the dirt inside, then I guess every pitch is a meatball. Meatball = pitch that the hitter can lean into and swing out of their ass. Hitters look so comfortable at the plate against him.

Buehrle keeps throwing meatballs up to the plate....he has no chance against this Angels lineup.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:23 AM) The swing for the fence method failed to score us a run in the first. Man on 2nd with less than 2 outs, Dye swings at a ball that was more like to hit him, and Thome does his out or dong routine. Something I've never understood is why does Iguchi always swing when Pods is running? Most of the time, you see the #2 hitter take the pitch, and give the runner the chance to steal.

Ugh...high change-ups starting already.

That's a pitch he does a lot of damage on in the first half.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 02:17 AM) Wow, dont see that much from JD. Unless Padilla's on the mound.

Ugh...where's the bat speed MVP?

Crede for Figgins is just too much like Lee for Pods in terms of ability. I just can't see KW and JR wanting to get rid of Crede though.

One of the few wins this year where we've scored 3 or less runs. It was a one inning eruption...but that's all we needed.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 04:30 AM) He gone. Save number 40 for Bobby. Vlad should of been a ground out, if Uribe was playing normally. We've played Vlad way in the hole for a few years now. If you recall, he played pepper with Uribe in the hole the whole ALCS

YES SIR!!!!! A very rare low scoring win. Welcome back jphat.
