QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 07:29 PM) Rollers and Hangers, thats what he throws that he calls curveballs after the 5th inning. Stupid pitch selection this inning.

Ozzie leaving him in for the inevitable VMart hit here.

PULL HIM! QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 07:28 PM) First 5 innings, Cy Young. Then nibbles the mouse. He deserves this after that pathetic 3-2 slider to Marte this inning.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 07:26 PM) Implosion time He's such a mental midget. I can't believe Ozzie has no one warming up.

And like clockwork, Javy implodes. Dye's lack of speed out there has hurt us this inning.

That was close to being a homer....and close to being an out.

Ugh...you can't walk the #9 hitter with Sizemore coming up next after you have an 0-2 count.

The moment of truth for Vazquez coming up.

This actually would have been a good AB to try and have AJP bunt, as our lefties are helpless against C.C.

We're heading into deja vu territory, with a likely 2-0 lead going into the 6th inning with the third time thru the order lurking.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 06:58 PM) In a related note, I hope having a 3rd catcher on the roster will signify Sandy's last game behind the plate. Sandy's a much better hitter than Stewart at this time though. How in the world do lefties hit over .300 against C.C.?

Sandy Alomar Jr. is the answer to the trivia question.

There looks to be a long stretch of green on the radar, but it hasn't reached Rockford yet.

Great play by Marte there. I'm so sick of bunt outs though.

Frank Thomas is on an absolute tear. It would be nice if he cools off before we face him next weekend.

For as sharp as Vazquez looked in the first inning, he seems to be off this inning. His ball keeps tailing awy from him. MERCY!

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 06:24 PM) fathom whats your take on iguchi lately? Needs to be traded.

Thanks the baseball gods these guys continue to not get the bunt down.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 06:21 PM) OUR 6TH LEADOFF HIT IN THE SECOND HALF!!! actually that's wrong. Pods has 5. That was Pablo's second. First time our leadoff hitter reached since the first game against Tampa, if my memory is correct. IGUCHI!! His approach at the plate is awesome right now.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 02:33 AM) I should add, right now I'm pulling for another Twins win cause I think our best chance is both the Twins and Sox passing the Tigers in the division with both teams making the playoffs. Liriano had a good game tonight, so he'll be back this week.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 02:32 AM) I'm not too worried about the fact that Cleveland made it close. For the most part, they did it off of guys who won't be on the post-season roster. I'm a little befuddled as to why McCarthy doesn't trust his fastball a little more. He always goes back to his changeup to righties, and it tends to tail back towards the middle of the plate. I tend to believe that once he is starting again, he'll be able to get the 'feel' for his changeup in his second, third innings of his starts. His fastball as a reliever, OTOH, has been great -- lots of swings and misses (other than the Pena walkoff). McCarthy's curve has been real poor basically all season. You can tell he has no rhythm with that pitch. He needs to trust his fastball more like you said, and keep it up in the zone. Then, he can throw the changeup lower in the zone.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 02:31 AM) Damn, why do they have to make me work for this s***? It really is amazing how it's never easy. Oh well....a win is always better than a loss. If our guys can keep up these opposite field swings they're taking, we have a chance to put up a lot more runs than we had been.

Yay!!! My fiance is relieved.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 02:29 AM) I thought they were booing for taking MacDougall out. 1 pitch away from the win. Yeah, I think so too.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Sep 10, 2006 -> 02:26 AM) Gonnie flies out. 1 MORE Oh Jesus Ozzie It's hard to blame Ozzie, as Thornton completely blew away Choo with the fastball yesterday. I wonder if Wedge will ph for him with Boone or Peralta?
