Timo just missed that.

A pitch-out would be a very good idea. We can't let Timo beat us.

Hawk's trying to jinx Garcia

Anderson would have caught that standing up with two hands! Good catch Mack

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 01:31 AM) Whoever mentioned the Freddy/Johan game from last year, DING It feels like the first homer of this game wins it tonight.

Ah, the Pods special. Pathetic

We could use a single, SB, blooper.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 01:24 AM) Pujols makes me shake and I'm not even pitching. Yep...but as you know, I root against the Cubs. Thus, this is the one series all year where I don't root for him to hit the ball 500 feet. QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 01:25 AM) Thats Garcia's MO. He gets sweaty and he gets nasty. Unless it's the Indians, where he just gets torched.

Garcia's stuff is getting much better as the game goes on. Time for Mackowiak to start the inning off right.

Be careful here Freddy! After the last AB, Pujols might be cheating on the fastball inside.

Great job fans in the f***ing front-row.

Yuck....good location by Reyes though.

They'd be nuts to throw AJP a fastball here.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 01:15 AM) I didn't see the play, but from your description, it sounds like it would have been a HELL of a play, and might not be an error. Pretty routine play actually. Definitely an error.

We need to capitalize on that error.

He landed very hard on his left shoulder. I don't think hitting the wall hurt him at all. QUOTE(shoota @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 01:05 AM) Note to Jermaine Dye: You're less likely to get hurt when you don't misread fly balls. Don't be an idiot Inside-the-parker? I didn't know that Hector Luna was Ben Johnson.

GREAT CATCH!!!

Thome with 4 good fastballs to hit that inning, and couldn't square one of them up. QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 01:02 AM) I guess we will not cancel the post game show. This would be one of the most unlikely no-hitters in baseball history.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 12:58 AM) Three or four balls hit pretty hard. Cmon big Jim. He's really only been fastball/change-up so far. It's been all about his location.

Lots of fly ball outs tonight. Hard to blame them after the last week or so.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 12:54 AM) So what you are saying is that Hawk is reacting to Garcia throwing in the high 80s? Just trying to keep up. I didn't pick it up the first 80 times. Actually, it was more just a funny moment in the game. I wasn't ragging on it at all. You could hear Hawk's voice raise a little bit when Garcia hit the 90 mph mark. QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 12:54 AM) Real good first four innings Freddy. I like seeing him throw the change-up to righties. It's not something he normally does, but it can be real effective when used in the right spot.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 12:53 AM) I sure as hell know the possibility of a Liriano emerging is impossible. Don't scout latin countries can't expect to locate one. I wonder what the advantage will be of Ozzie's success as a manager in terms of signing Latino ball players in 5 to 10 years. He's the idol to a lot of those players, and it might help us in signing them down the road.

Hawk reacted to Garcia at 90 mph like he does to Jenks at 100 mph.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 12:50 AM) So........... Where's the Anthony Reyes in our minor league system? The guy better pitch like this for the next 5 years against the Cubs. He has the best control I've seen all year.

QUOTE(shoota @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 12:48 AM) Another "unofficial" error for Crede. His bobble of the easy ground ball allowed the lead runner to safely advance to second, though Crede was still able to salvage the out at first. No error in the box score because he recorded an out, and the lead runner did not end up scoring, but still a flaw in the defensive wizard Joe Crede. He still made the out on the play. The runner was going on the pitch, so he had no chance to get him at 2nd base. If you're going to b**** about his defense, at least do it after a bad play.
