QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 01:27 AM) Fan reached out with his glove to get a ball down the line, deflecting it into the stands and likely preventing Uribe from scoring. That ball would have had to go far away from the LF for Uribe to score. He was just rounding 2nd when the fan hit it.

Anderson works the count, and hits a rocket! That young kid probably saved us from a Cora disaster. Keep them in Pods.

Let's capitalize on that break now! That play wasn't even close.

Hernandez is fooling far too many of our hitters.

QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 01:17 AM) wow lets get Javvy the f*** outta here and bring in the pen Why? It's not his fault JD forgot how to catch the ball? If our team can't get at least 2 runs off of this pitcher, we don't deserve to win.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 01:15 AM) Oh boy.. now is not the time for the defense to start helping the Royals out. They're playing tonight like they did a month ago, and they're lacking the intensity they had in the last 2 weeks.

You've got to be kidding me. Another pathetic moment for our outfield defense.

Vazquez looks a little tired tonight, which is perfectly understandable after the effort he gave in the Yanks game. Hell, I felt tired after watching those 5 innings. Ha...another tough play made to look easy by Crede. Come on Vazquez, big out in this game.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 01:09 AM) why o why must javy constantly work from behind in the count? It's going to catch up with him. He's really playing with fire tonight. QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 01:10 AM) Made a nice catch but landed awkwardly on his shoulder. He was in some pain it looked like. You won't see my crying. One of the tougher outs in baseball, IMO.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 01:08 AM) Placido hurt his shoulder bad. What happened?

Very difficult play made nicely by Crede.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 01:05 AM) hitting the ball hard -- need to find some gaps We are? Only Dye's hit into a hard out so far. QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 01:06 AM) royals bullpen = redemption Which means we need Javy to keep them where they're at.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 01:05 AM) the important point is that yes, i would rather face the tiggers than the sawks in the post season - BUT with the yanks being a lot better lately and the sawks having injury issues... i feel like the yanks are probably gonna make it in, and there's little way the tigers get beat out in the WC assuming we take the division so... go Boston! With the 5 game series coming up this wknd, anything can happen between the Yanks/Red Sox in regards to the standings.

Surprising lack of patience by Dye swinging at a pitch way up in the zone. We better be careful here, as this game can get late quickly and Hernandez will have more confidence.

Hernandez looks much better tonight. We're not picking up that changeup.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 12:59 AM) or he saw it caught, slowed down, then saw it drop and sped up again... man i know that i for one wouldnt have done that. nope. i woulda run REALLY HARD seeing my hit caught... uh huh. If you hit a liner that a guy has to jump for, you should be running through the base until you're sure it's caught. It's not a big deal...our hustle has been better than it was a month ago. It's just surprising because no one hustles down the line more than Thome.

Orioles lead the Yanks 3-0. That doesn't hurt us.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 12:55 AM) you crazy it was a liner... not that surprising they turned it.... It was a soft liner that bounced away from Teahen. Thome probably presumed it would be caught. If he was running out of the box, he'd easily beat it out. Nice play Juan!

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 12:54 AM) Boo! As this stage of the season, it's all about the loss totals. Our best chance of catching the Tigers is by doing it ourselves. I'd rather they play spoiler and help us out with the other team's loss totals that could rival us in the WC. Also, when it comes to the playoffs, I'd rather the Tigers be in it than the Red Sox. We match-up 10 times better vs the Tigers.

QUOTE(PA32R @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 12:54 AM) I can't watch it.. Who? Thome down the line to first or Gooch going into second? Or both? Thome must have stopped running.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 12:53 AM) thats a good thing??? To me, it absolutely is.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 16, 2006 -> 12:52 AM) Well that sucked. Vazquez just has to hold them. There's no way this game ends up 1-0. Tigers now lead 2-1!

Inexcusable lack of hustle.

PROTECT!

Pods is going to hit for the cycle tonight.
