Impressive slider by Cotts in that situation. It was so critical to face Gomes without 2 men on base.

AJP won't hit .340 all year, as it's extremely hard for a catcher to maintain strength in his legs throughout the season. What Piazza did during the peak of his career was amazing.

I just would have rather seen Gathright bat again, as he doesn't scare me at all. For some reason, I still get antsy that Cotts will have control issues when he comes in.

I'm stunned that he pulled Garland.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 18, 2006 -> 01:27 AM) The offense WAS pretty brutal at times last year, the amazing starting pitching carried that team for a great portion of the season. Thankfully, we had no problem winning games 1-0.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 18, 2006 -> 01:25 AM) The corpseball was just more lame b****ing from Sox fans. The Jerry Manuel years = corpseball, and fans were unhappy. No one was satisfied with the offense last season either, wanting the old one back. We're really supposed to still be in the bottom of the first of opening day with 0 outs, or fans will be complaining. You know I''m willing and likely to complain about everything, and I was the first one on here telling people to stfu about corpseball. This group of guys deserves more respect than being compared to those losing teams.

Wow....I forgive you Pablo. Put Crede in for defensive reasons.

Politte Cotts sounded way too much like Billy Koch

The most underrated part of this inning was the great job that PK and Dye did at not chasing the 2 strike slider.

Me gusto Ruddy Lugo

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 18, 2006 -> 01:22 AM) I hate you so much.

Hey hey!! There are those nice hits we needed jphat!

BTW, did anyone remember my comment in the 5th inning of the Texas/Yanks game last night? Poor Rangers fans.

f*** yeah Dye! Iguchi seemed to be taking a little stroll around 3rd base. You don't f*** with our 3-4-5

QUOTE(daa84 @ May 18, 2006 -> 01:18 AM) wickman... Trust me, the PK comment was a joke. He has the most clutch play in my history of watching sports.

That slider's pretty tight right now. Dye's quickly in the hole.

Does this guy ever hit meaningful homers?

Man, he just missed that.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ May 18, 2006 -> 01:11 AM) The thing about the Tigers that scares me the most is that they aren't getting a whole lot of respect, like us last year. I always thought they should have been much better than they were last season. Now, they've added a solid starter in Rogers (who does well vs us), have beefed up their pen, and have a healthy Ordonez.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 18, 2006 -> 01:12 AM) Stupid swing by Pods I didn't understand the point of showing the bunt with 1 strike. Oh well, he deserves the benefit of the doubt right now.

Hit a homer Iguchi

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ May 18, 2006 -> 01:10 AM) So are we all happy with his outing now? I still think he needs to lower his homer totals.

Another good inning for Garland. We need to get Pods on base again (and then hope Iguchi can walk).

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 18, 2006 -> 01:04 AM) Pods, and Ozuna just moments ago both looked like pitch outs. No, it was just a 1-2 fastball. I give Tampa credit for holding on the runners very well.

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ May 18, 2006 -> 01:04 AM) but then if they werent getting caught we wouldnt be saying nothing. we know this is how ozzie manages. oh well. What's the saying.....Fool me once, shame on me?
