Please don't take this as me complaining, but does it seem like Pods overruns a lot of those plays down the line, and he ends up having to catch it on the side?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 02:24 AM) Also, Vazquez was going up against a much better offensive team. Blue Jays vs Tigers? I'd take this Tigers offense right now. The Blue Jays have a high batting average, but they have some easier outs in their lineup than the Tigers.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 02:21 AM) Wasn't nearly this efficient. Yes, but with Vazquez's style, for him to go 8 innings after striking out 13 is damn good. If he would have K'd 13 guys last night, he would have thrown 200 pitches.

Hey Rowand....did you feel like saying "f***" when you saw that Rivera balk article?

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 02:20 AM) I literally can't remember the last time we had a starter pitch a game this good. i just can't... Its just great to see it again, I vividly remember these games last year Last Saturday

QUOTE(beautox @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 02:18 AM) Guillen has Counts #. Guillen's always been one of the biggest Sox killers. He never seems to have a bad AB against us.

Don't let up here Jose!

Is Grossman really hurt?

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 02:14 AM) Fathom, I don't think you're gonna want to read this thread. It's fine, I'm not nearly as fanatical about the Bears as I am the Sox.

FWIW, someone who saw the Knights game last night said that Logan looked fantastic. He's not a fan of Logan, so for him to say that, he must have looked good. QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 02:09 AM) Crap.. Grossman just got stretchered off Nice post from a Cubs fan.

BTW....I'm taping the Bears game, and will watch it later. Please don't spoil the inevitable "crap, Grossman just got stretchered off". QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 02:07 AM) Yea, I didn't expect him to get the runner at first. Nice play by Cintron I didn't know if he'd have enough arm strength without doing his 3 hop and throw routine.

GREAT PLAY!

Don't worry about the hit Jose. Get Polanco out here.

QUOTE(beautox @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 02:01 AM) Its a nice thought knowing that JV will be in our division for a while, and the Sox own him. I wouldn't shed a tear if we don't have to face him again.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 02:01 AM) I dont care how hard you throw, you challenge this team over the plate and you are going to get destroyed. Now pitchers like Kenny Rodgers frighten me more than Zoolander every could due to him being a junk ball pitcher. Absolutely. Great post SSI.

Keep the momentum going Contreras.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:58 AM) The WCIU gun blows ass but if it's at all accurate he's been sitting between 92-95 and popping it at 97 on occation. This guy will be having elbow surgery fairly soon IMO. He should use his curve more than he does his change. He's the anti-Vazquez.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:57 AM) LOW 90's? Ouch, if he can't gun it up there, Detroit is officially in trouble. The Rally AJ. It's been 94-95 mph most of this game. The radar gun on WCIU is 2 mph slow.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:57 AM) Yea, with I-Rod behind the plate. Definitely. Yeah...I'll be content if we don't try to steal a base all weekend.

QUOTE(S720 @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:53 AM) Like I've told you. I am sensing a crack on Verlander's pitching. His mechanics have been way off this inning. Even on the early fastballs to Pods this inning, he was overthrowing/fading off of the mound. Good call!

Some huge runs right there.

QUOTE(S720 @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:41 AM) No way. If Cora didn't send Cintron, everyone would jump on him. That's the right call to send Cintron home. Of course...I think Felix is just stating that everyone jumps on Cora for sending guys at home and them getting thrown out.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:41 AM) Nope, he was out. Yep. The sad thing is that his slide made it a no doubt out at home.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 12, 2006 -> 01:41 AM) Tigers in a prime spot to get a lot of momentum in this game. Very nice play by Cintron to get the first out.

Tigers in a prime spot to get a lot of momentum in this game.
