We need Buehrle to hold the A's down. I'm confident we'll be able to score a few runs tonight.

QUOTE(Sox It To Em @ May 25, 2006 -> 01:06 AM) Haren is looking filthy. You're going to make him look a lot better if you take his fastball, and swing at his offspeed pitch.

SWING THE f***ING BAT!

Dye, Crede, and PK have taken meatballs down the plate. Haren's in quite the groove now.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 25, 2006 -> 01:02 AM) I know it's not the most popular thing on here but I'd like our guys to start swinging on the first pitch heater. I agree. His splitter is nasty right now.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 25, 2006 -> 01:00 AM) That is why you are mr. pessimism. It's Buehrle on the mound against the A's.....you're always waiting for the shoe to drop.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ May 25, 2006 -> 12:59 AM) I understand. And most of the time I would agree, but the Royals one of the worst teams ever. I know. I was just doing a little role reversal with you being pessimistic about a game, and me being optimistic.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 25, 2006 -> 12:59 AM) Crede messed up Alex there. I've yet to see Cintron make a good throw to 1b.

Cintron = bad on defense. I have a bad feeling that error is going to lead to something more this inning.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 25, 2006 -> 12:57 AM) That's cool. It's a 1 run game... Good thing the game isn't played on paper/standings.

Buehrle sure does allow a lot of runners to reach base when he's facing the A's. He's not overly sharp with his stuff tonigh.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ May 25, 2006 -> 12:48 AM) hey, mark gave up the hit, not aj, pass ball or not Oh great...not this stupid argument again. I had enough of this on Sunday to last a month.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ May 25, 2006 -> 12:47 AM) LOL. Same ole same ole for Mark. What would that be?

A's up 1-0. Our defense continues to make a lot of crucial mistakes.

Is AJP high tonight? He's having a problem catching almost every pitch.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 25, 2006 -> 12:44 AM) When a guy gets hit in the noggin like Urib did, they will usually pull them out of the game, even if it's just precautionary. Luckily it got the bill of the batting helmet. Nonetheless I bet Uribe will have a stinging vibrating feeling for a few hours, not to mention a headache. Hopefully that's the extent of it. Yep, I'd have to guess it was precautionary. Uribe got lucky though....he didn't pick up that pitch at all, and that's when the scary head beanings happen.

Jabroni....good call on putting Ozuna at 2b, and moving Cintron to SS.

Just a quick observation, but our hitters are better off trying to jump on Haren early in the count.

4 men LOB thru 2 innings.

Time for a Pods flare to LF for a hit.

I'm a big fan of that tight slider by Haren.

That's some scary s***. Hopefully he'll be ok.

Awful. Mackowiak missed that by a foot.

Gotta make some contact here Rob.

3 of the last 4 batters have hit rockets.
