Any chance we have a lead after this inning?

What a f***ing joke.

f***...this game has a terrible vibe to it.

No called 3rd strikes.

I hate the National League.

Wow...we're such a slow team.

GREAT CATCH! I'll take giving up only one run, considering Randa was about 2 feet away from a slam. QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 12:30 AM) That's a very nice play there. Yep, especially considering that's one of his main weaknesses.

Whew....that was close.

Have we ever got this guy out in a tough spot?

Buehrle's getting squeezed this inning.

And here come the Pirates. Gotta hold them to one run this inning.

The great Anthony Reyes gave up 2 runs to the first 2 batters he faced tonight. I guess you can postpone his HOF induction. QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 12:20 AM) Anyone else hear AJ curse after he reached first? He was running quite slow to 1st base...are you sure he reached it?

Well....we've allowed Snell and the Pirates to have a chance in this game.

QUOTE(Princess Dye @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 12:18 AM) number one things that i find my fellow sox fans to be most delusional about: the skills of Scott Podsednik. Trust me, you're preaching to the choir with me. However, probably his greatest skill is his ability to steal 3rd.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 12:15 AM) I don't mind that attempt, there was one out in the inning, I have no problem with trying to take third there. Yep, he's one of the best in baseball at it. However, he needs to get a bigger lead than what he had if he wants to be successful.

Wow....that's bad. Terrible base running tonight. He looked to be safe. QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 28, 2006 -> 12:15 AM) We are really killing ourselves on the bases. Yep...just have to help it doesn't come back to haunt us.

Interesting that Pods is running on the 3-2 pitch. Not exactly sure it's a good thing in that situation.

Yuck....time for Pods to steal 3rd now.

Nice pick by Thome there. Lets keep the hits coming on offense.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 11:54 PM) Base hit by Mack with runners on first and 2nd with 2 outs, Joey was waiving Jim and then stopped him. AJ thought Jim was being sent and was heading to third and once JT slammed on the breaks, AJ got caught in a run down. Would Thome have been safe at home?

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 27, 2006 -> 11:52 PM) The other play was all on Cora. What happened on that play in the first inning? Our base running today has likely cost us a few runs.

QUOTE(rangercal @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 07:09 AM) Fathom would not understand that. He backs all his arguments with a statbook. Actually, I'm one of the last people on this site that uses stats. Rather, I use my own eyes to make observations. And with that, I will say that Vazquez isn't keeping hitters off-balanced. Rather, he's throwing way too many pitches over the heart of the plate (as JimH accurately points out). He really needs to use his changeup and slider more than he is. His loopy curve hasn't been fooling anyone.

QUOTE(whitesoxin @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 06:42 AM) I'm so glad baseball tonight just showed the highlights and didn't make a big deal out of what we did. But Mussina's start tonight for the Yankees was sooo much more important. I enjoyed hearing what has been wrong with his mechanics lately. f*** ESPN. Baseball Tonight was filmed before our game. Our games have been one of the main stories on ESPN all week. That's the last thing we should be complaining about.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 05:52 AM) I think, as fans, we saw tonight that this team is special. It's weird, cause I'm getting the same tingle I got last year. My confidence in our offense this year is 5 times what it was last year. I do have a serious question though? Has Ross Gload done anything this year to help us win a game?

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Jun 26, 2006 -> 04:49 AM) I was gonna ask that too. I honestly feel this game was a better loss than Clevelands. Yep...as the Astros aren't a divisional team. For everyone freaking out about being 1.5 behind the Tigers, remember that we're 6 up on the Yankees for the WC.
