This should be Vazquez's last batter of the game.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:30 AM) So....Javy seems to improve on pitches 100-150 these days.... Well done.

This umpire refuses to call anything on the outside corner for Vazquez.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:22 AM) I think Jim killed all the grass on the right side of the infield these last couple at bats. Poop. You mean the Willie Harris Memorial Grass? He sure had that weak grounder to 2nd base down pat.

I wonder if he's getting pull cautious due to the Yanks not putting on the big shift.

Good grief Thome...stay back and look the opposite way. It's a good thing the Yankees handed us some runs, as our offense looks shaky again tonight.

Thome needs to flip that curve over the LF fence.

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:18 AM) You guys noticing that Hawk and D.J. don't say anything when a replay of a pitch is shown? Maybe they heard the criticism of their constant whining. Or maybe the Sox are winning. QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:18 AM) that could have been gone based on what giambi's looked like off of the bat Yeah, but Giambi went off the juice last year, Pods went off of it after 2004.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:16 AM) man, anderson is horrible at the plate It's really amazing how little of an impact he's had on our offense this year.

That pitch had the entire plate. Great pitch recognition Brian.

So, if Anderson turns in to Mr. April/May again, what are we going to do?

If you think Vazquez won't start the 5th, then you don't know Ozzie.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:13 AM) That was a Haeger-esque performance. Walking three and allowing none. Haeger would throw 100 pitches in 2 innings vs this Yanks team.

For everyone wanting Cotts, I offer this suggestion. Against a guy with a great eye like Giambi, Cotts is either a walk, HBP, or homer waiting to happen.

He nutted up and made a nice pitch. Ozzie will keep him out there to start the 5th.

Good grief, he's begging to give up this lead.

What a pathetic performance by Vazquez. He's scared of the bat. If he gives up a homer here, these fans better boo his ass off the field.

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:10 AM) THAT one looked like strike. It was low.

A better pitch, but just a great eye by these Yankees hitters.

Holy cow, is he ever making a lot of mistakes with his fastball tonight.

Abreu in the 3rd spot is just awesome for the Yanks. It's too bad we didn't make a play for him by trying to unload the contracts of Garcia and Pods, and then having him replace their salary for next year. QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:06 AM) This is getting to the point where it's almost as ridiculous as that start he had at home against Cleveland earlier this year. We won that game, but I think Javy threw 110 pitches in like 5 innings and Cleveland left 15 men on base or something. Exactly what I was thinking of. Cotts came in, and Hafner hit one a mile against him.

He's getting away with a lot. Make a good pitch here!

Ha...just letting him walk into 2nd base.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:03 AM) We have passed the 75 pitch barrier. And it's 3rd time through the order.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:03 AM) A.J.'s swing against Rivera last night might be in my top 3. I actually think that besides Web Gems in franchise history, it would be funny to see the Worst Web Gems in franchise history. I'd love to see Alex Gonzalez, Brant Brown, and Leon Durham battle it out for the Cubs. Vazquez is lucky to get away with that meatball.
