QUOTE(G&T @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:54 AM) Thats the best he's ever pitched. He looks good against us a lot. When he faces other teams, he looks pathetic.

Ugh...you have to be looking offspeed pitch there.

Jermaine....they will NOT throw you a fastball here.

Another single back up the middle for Dye?

Pretend he's Todd Williams!

Man, I just would have liked to see Ozzie keep up the aggressiveness there. Come on MVP.

Burgos does have an extremely slow delivery.

Great swing by Rob. Why not try a hit-and-run here?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:46 AM) If Konerko is out for any amount of time, KW may kick himself for not sweetening the pot for Soriano. We better hope Thome is ok also. We can't have this be shades of 2004.

Nasty pitch there. Good example of a pitcher stepping up and making a pitch in a tough situation.

Get on base Brian. Please don't chase the slider out of the zone here.

QUOTE(Mr. Showtime @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:43 AM) If he's out for any real length, think they'd bring up Fields and let him DH? No, Gload would play first, and Thome would DH.

Getting X-rays is standard procedure. It's hard to break something where he got hit. Of course, what the hell do I know. I thought I had a cramp, and it ended up being appendicitis.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:40 AM) The formula is one inning of mac, one of thornton and one of jenks. We heard the same thing on Sunday from people saying, why did we pull thornton after such an easy inning. Hard throwers sometimes get dinked and dunked. It happens. Matt has been pretty damn good for us all year long. You just can't be walking guys.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:39 AM) Actually with 1 out we needed a double play. Which we got. Good call there. Did someone steal your screen name? I've seen more positive posts from you in the last minute than I have in a while. Well done

QUOTE(JimH @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:38 AM) They did not go up and under his hands with the good fastball, which is his weak spot. Riske throws the DP ball, we have a chance here. This goes back to what we talked about. Both Thornton and Cotts can't pitch inside against lefties. Neither have overly pinpoint control, and they throw their fastballs to the outside corner about 99 pct of the time. Marte was the same way actually.

YES! Good job Ozzie...mercy!

QUOTE(greg775 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:36 AM) I don't know who to blame and I don't care. Thanks Thornton for a dandy save. Thanks Oz for not leaving in Mac Dougal like you did Brandon last night. Thanks for taking the Royals lightly and blowing opportunities and losing a game we needed to win. MacDougal isn't a two inning pitcher. This is an inning where we put a hitter who's on fire in a situation to beat us, and he did.

I don't understand bringing in Riske now. If you're going to leave Thornton in to face the dead fastball hitter, might as well let him try to get a K.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:36 AM) Like I said, Dye is only slightly above average at best as an RF. I think people are being way too kind by saying he's anything above average, but that's just me.

Riske coming in? Interesting....I'd like to see the guy who can get a K personally here.

QUOTE(champ @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 02:34 AM) I swear this team cannot catch a fishing break. DeJesus gets a gift walk and then this spiff happens. Or we could make a series of good pitches in a tough situations. As someone said, Teahen just fouled off the good pitches until he got a cookie.

That's just pathetic. Dye continues to jug out there, and our outfield defense kills us again.

KC ALWAYS comes back against us.
