QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 24, 2006 -> 02:29 AM) Those last two sliders didn't move much. Thru one batter....didn't see anywhere near his good slider.

He's getting under that slider so far.

Squeezed on the first pitch. Good location

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 24, 2006 -> 02:27 AM) I think Jeff can get this guy out who's in the batters box at this moment. I'm scared he might have walked him.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ May 24, 2006 -> 02:25 AM) And why do teams still pitch to him? He's on pace for about 100 HRs. No open base for the Giants to put him on.

BTW...that Pujols guy has a good future. Will they trade him to us for Sean Tracey?

No matter what happens, I love this managing this inning.

Are we seeing Jeff Nelson? Great job throwing strikes by Cotts!

QUOTE(JimH @ May 24, 2006 -> 02:21 AM) I must have missed it because I don't associate posts like that from you I don't blame you. All I know is that KC being up 1 with 6 outs to go is better than being down 1 with 6 outs to go.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 24, 2006 -> 02:20 AM) OMG I'm getting the "Royals will blow this" in stereo ... one side from this board and the other side from quickman IM'ing me. Don't you guys ever get tired of taking the pessimistic viewpoint? Did you see my post??? I actually said there was some hope.

Cotts is in. Has to throw strikes with this tight zone.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ May 24, 2006 -> 02:18 AM) There is no doubt in my mind that the Royals will blow this. At least they still have the lead. Maybe the Tigers will hit 6 line drives right at the defenders.

I wonder if AJP was bracing for having to knock over Ellis?

I'll take it!! Looks like a rocket in the box score.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ May 24, 2006 -> 02:13 AM) But then who would Big Jon and Javy beat up on? That was pretty funny

PH Pablo!! Just kidding.

Very nice AJ!

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 24, 2006 -> 02:10 AM) Last night's game was probably the best game I've ever been to. It's at least the best in the last five years. Yeah, that would have been a great game to go to. Obviously, game 2 of the World Series would be the ultimate game to have gone to. It's too bad...I used to think that being at the Carlos Lee homer/Valentin walkoff single against Rivera was a cool game to say you were at.

I do find it ironic that we're one of the worst bunting teams in baseball, yet we win on a walkoff bunt last night. Kotsay's going to take a leak.

Great swings by Thome tonight.

QUOTE(Felix @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:59 AM) Trust me, I understand you hate them But this is a White Sox game thread, and the Sox were in a pretty big situation there (I think so at least), yet you guys seem concentrated on the Cubs game. Something is wrong there.. I understand your point about how the Sox were in a big situation also.

Here's where Pods should be stealing.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:57 AM) What the f*** is wrong with you. Give him a break...he just started following baseball two years ago. Maybe he was a fan of Colombian soccer before this.

QUOTE(Felix @ May 24, 2006 -> 01:57 AM) Do you guys really care enough about the Cubs to be posting about their game in a Sox/A's gamethread? I mean seriously.. Yep...I hate them, and I figured a lot more people hated them after last wknd. I know you like them, so it won't do anything for you. I think Dempster should be less concerned about trying to make funny one-liners, and focus more on closing the door.

Great pitch Vazquez!!
