QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 04:43 AM) Was Hermy better than his line indicates....or no? Probably worse. The hit he gave up was screaming "hit me". The double play ball was a hard hit ball up the middle. Nice play by Iguchi.

We need more Pablo in extra innings.

This offense sucks

Please leave Pods...please leave

Pods hasn't had a called 3rd strike tonight.

Hit a homer

Damn...nice swing by Uribe.

I'd rather see Cintron leading off this inning.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 04:31 AM) Thornton makes pitching look too easy. Are you begging for the jinx?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 04:29 AM) I said it earlier. That is the worst swing I have ever seen from Crede. By far. Hawk talks about how guys should feel like they're at an advantage over a pitcher, and not the other way around in that situation. Crede didn't seem too confident in that AB, and you could tell from the very first fastball he took down the plate.

QUOTE(Maverick0984 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 04:28 AM) that are the other 50-60 plays on each side of the ball... But your own hustle is something you can control.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 04:27 AM) What happened this game. I haven't been able to watch. Pods literally stopped running on a steal attempt to 3rd base, and ended up getting thrown out. Then, in the 9th, AJP hit a double over Vlad's head, and he didn't hustle to first, and didn't get into 2nd with a double. Thus, they pitched to Crede instead of having to walk him.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 04:26 AM) Well Excussssssssssee Jim Thome for helping this team BEFORE the f***ing 9th inning so we aren't in these situations. Just when I thought you were getting better. Back on ignore you go. Good grief...I was just saying it would be nice to see him deliver in a situation where his power can end the game on one swing.

Plain and simple, if we lose this game, it's because of a lack of hustle on two key plays.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 04:25 AM) I'm gonna be good luck again. I like the effort.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 04:22 AM) Aren't you the same person whining about Thome always trying to hit a three run homer when nobody is on base? I guess the Vazquez/Contreras bashing is out, and the mythical "Jim Thome is not clutch" is the new fad for the dark clouds. Thome has a .415 OBP and .609 SLG in late innings you fool. I see Joe "clutch" Crede just struck out as well. Where's your sarcasm for that? I'm just waiting for Thome to help this team win a game when it's in the 9th and we're tied or down a run.

Crede should have been walked to load the bases if this team hustled.

Pathetic AB by Crede. AJP not hustling down the first base line on his ball to the wall cost us big time. WHERE'S THE HUSTLE OZZIE!

Anyone else notice how bad Owens' jump was on that steal attempt?

Oh man...I thought he might have kept running. AJP should have made it to 2nd base on that play.

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 04:17 AM) christ hawk, this is one situation where you DON'T turn him loose....yes! Ummm...it's probably the best time to do it. Against KRod, you're not going to put together a 3 hit inning. If you can swing at a likely fastball in that situation, let it rip.

Jerry Owens time

Wow...I'm stunned they threw him the fastball. Thome doesn't get it done in the 9th....stunner.

Ugh...that was his pitch to do damage on. Strikeout on a low slider coming in 3....2...1

QUOTE(Greg Hibbard @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 04:13 AM) no chance we win, huh Sorry, should have stated that different. Pods cost us the chance to have the lead going into the 9th.
