Lots of hanging forkballs tonight.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 02:17 AM) Escobar will be coming soon. That's not good. I'd rather face him than Shields.

We can't touch this bullpen. They all have great offspeed stuff....and quite frankly, we struggle with that.

QUOTE(Antonio Osuna @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 02:12 AM) This has been a heartbreaking game. It has? This game has been pretty boring if you ask me. It never really seemed like the Sox were in command of this game, and the Angels are in pretty good position to slam the door on the Sox. Do we deserve to be in the lead right now? No.

That PK AB last inning was a huge play in this game, as was that Kennedy AB.

Scioscia's showing why he's an excellent manager this inning.

Thought that ball was gone. Contreras continues to hang that splitter, and we're lucky it's not 4-2.

Hell, I'd take my chances walking Anderson, and trying to get a DP from Vlad.

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 02:01 AM) The Angels are just a bad matchup for Jose. Any team would have a chance vs Contreras tonight. He doesn't have the same arm angle he's had all season. He's still doing fine.

This ump is squeezing the f*** out of Contreras now.

Since when has fan interference at your home field allowed you to give the team the benefit of the doubt?

Good grief, they're going to count this run. Contreras has got to start finding his release point. Ozzie should get someone up in the pen NOW!

Ugh, this is going to be real tough getting out of this inning. Contreras has got to start getting ahead of the hitters so he can use the forkball.

Contreras is throwing more over the top than from the side.

Damn!

PK has some room between 3b and SS for one of his typical seeing-eyed singles.

I would never let Shields pitch to PK here. I know PK has struggled against him, but I'd have a hard time pitching to PK with a base open. This could be a huge, huge hit for the Sox.

f*** yeah Dye!!

What was that? Since when has Iguchi tried to pull that type of pitch? Big hit here Dye.

I hope we don't do anything stupid on the bases here.

QUOTE(bmags @ Oct 17, 2005 -> 01:46 AM) pods is looking good...if we go to vlad i don't know if we can score...go the other way...GET A SINGLE Rivera has a better chance of throwing out Uribe than Vlad does.

Paul Byrd looks more like Chris Benoit than he does Kelsey G.

Byrd's arm angle seems perfect for Pods to drive down the RF line.

Wow, that's how you charge the ball in LF. Good slide by Uribe, and nice to see the umpire right on top of the call.

We need a homer from someone other than PK.
