QUOTE(bigruss22 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 03:38 AM) is it jsut me or does the A's lineup look realllllllyyyyyy weak? i mean shannon stweart after kendall? then the almighty bradley and piazza? even swisher had a low average last year ( around .260 i think) Are you trying for the jinx?

Stewart has hurt us in similar situations.

How many times does Buck have to miss an offspeed pitch before we learn he can only hit fastballs?

Well, this isn't going to take long. f*** you C.B.

That 1-2 pitch should have been strike 3.

Erstad rounding into form with that 4-3. It seems like that extra run will hurt. QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 03:28 AM) Pony Boy leaves a run on third with one out. Shocking. I can't believe Erstad grounded out after DJ was saying just how amazing he really is.

Damn....get a hit Erstad.

Pods....unless you want to go back to my doghouse, don't K looking here.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 03:22 AM) My TV must be wrong, did Uribe hit that the other way. 1-0 Does it matter if he tried to? Hit it to LF....Stewart can't throw.

A rocket by Uribe. Keep it going Pods.

Ha...at least Uribe had a plan.

Nicely done Ozzie and Mackowiak. Might we see a squeeze here?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 03:18 AM) Take a f***ing pitch, AJ. AJP and Crede are picking up where they left off last year. Good eye by Cintron....let's try a hit-and-run here.

Are the Sox averaging about 2 hits in the first 5 innings of their last 5 games?

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 03:05 AM) I hope taking the bat out of Thome's hand for a pointless SB doesn't come back to hurt the Sox. I hope it wasn't Ozzie's call to send Pods in that situation. I'd like to see Pods be more aggressive before there gets to be 2 outs in the inning.

Good grief, 5 righty hitters, 5 strike outs.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 03:04 AM) 2 strikes, slider low and away. How is this a mystery now. It's like our hitters don't know he has a slider.

PK is thinking too much up there.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:59 AM) Or are the Twins that bad. Getting shut down by Pavano took a little luster off of Danks' performance. Twins offense looked horrible over the weekend. Besides for their big 3, the rest of the guys had horrible approaches. T. Hunter had a horrific series vs the Sox. I'm happy with what we saw by Danks, but he's going to face a different caliber of monster this wknd. Erstad better be sitting tomorrow.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:57 AM) Funny how people would take Crede over A-Rod supposedly over clutchness yet the day A-Rod hits a walk-off Grandslam, Crede pops up with the bases loaded in the 8th. I really thought we were going to trade Buehrle and Crede for ARod this last offseason.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:56 AM) Is that as hard for you to say as it is for me? Seriously though, Pods is the only one with any type approach right now at the plate, lets hope he can get on, steal 2nd, advance to 3rd on a sac, and score on another sac!! Nah, it's easier to handle Pods this year. If he's good, then that's fantastic. If he struggles a lot, I'm confident we'd make a change.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:55 AM) Maybe the offense will be better after seeing this guy once. Just need to show some patience. Can't be swinging at that first pitch sinker that's low. He's not going to strike out these lefties.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:54 AM) Jason Kendall was a KW target before the 2005 season. Thank God Billy Beane won that auction and AJ fell into KW's lap. The offseason prior to 2005 was magical in terms of who we got as Plan B. If not, we'd have a battery of Clement and Kendall.

Get us going Pods!

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 11, 2007 -> 02:52 AM) The bum A-Rod has 6 homers and 15 RBI already. How many guys don't want him on the White Sox? I'm so thankful the Cubs didn't make a run for him at SS.
