Be nice if we get that run right back.

Someone wake Crede the f*** up. With Molina running, he should have never even tried to go after that ball.

Not good Freddy. He's been beating lefties with the changeup tonight, and then he throws a meatball on the first pitch.

I can't believe McCarver said that the AJP/Paul played would have definitely been overturned if there was instant replay.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Oct 16, 2005 -> 01:10 AM) I guess the fix is in. And i thought the Chicago Mafia were mia? I have a close friend who's a Cubs fan and an ND fan. He hasn't been too happy with officiating this week.

We can't expect to get the benefit of the call the rest of this series unfortunately. Let's just take it to them, and not put the umps in a chance to redeem these calls for the Angels.

Wow, what a fantastic double play!! No walks Garcia, and you'll be fine.

Garcia's the last pitcher we can count on to keep a lead.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Oct 15, 2005 -> 11:51 PM) I watched more of the Michigan game, but there was one call where I nearly threw my remote at the TV. ND had 3rd and 20 deep in their own end, there appeared to be a fumble. And a huge scrum ensued trying to get the ball. -- Players from both sides were pulling the other teams players off the pile. I saw punches thrown and one guy appeared to kick another player who was on the ground. The whole time the refs were trying to figure out who had the ball. Eventually they ruled ND had recovered. 4th and a bajillion. -- Oh wait there was ONE personal foul on the play. It just happens to be on USC. First down ND. If you go back and look in this thread, you'll see that I nominated that play as the 2nd worst officiated play I've seen this week.

The funny thing is that a ton of ND fans are b****ing that they got screwed. The whole game, they were the definite benefit of a majority of the calls. Kudos to the officiating crew for keeping their composure in the last few seconds, even though I'm not so sure if the ball should have been spotted on the one. Of course, I'm still confused why the clock started up again after the fumble.

As freaky as that ending was, the refs seemed to have got it exactly right.

QUOTE(BlackBetsy @ Oct 15, 2005 -> 11:02 PM) Yeah, but I *REALLY* want him in the Sox system. So there. Konerko for Wood? Sure, right after we trade Buehrle for Delmon Young.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 15, 2005 -> 09:15 PM) USC doesnt believe in first halves. USC will win, no doubt in my mind. These refs are doing USC no favors either. That personal foul call on the fumble was the worst call I've seen all week......ok, 2nd worst!

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Oct 15, 2005 -> 03:50 PM) Since this seems to be "Hot Stove" thread for the time being, and since most of us have a woody for Brian Giles, I thought I'd post this: Rosenthal Article I'd feel good about our chances of signing him if the main competition was the Cardinals or Cubs. If it's between the Sox and Cubs/Cardinals, I don't like our chances at all. Giles knows the NL pitching a hell of a lot better now than he does the AL, and both of those teams are likely to have a lot of money to spend. Giles likely doesn't want to be brought over to DH.

He died at the age of 28.

Congrats to Garland! Pitched a f***ing sensational game.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 15, 2005 -> 03:08 AM) Garland got squeezed. You had to know the umpire wouldn't go out of their way to give the Sox a big call in this game. To be honest, if I was an umpire, I'd be hard pressed to also.

Damn, that was close.

Pods always makes it interesting. Good job though!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 15, 2005 -> 03:03 AM) Here we go. Vlad is just lurking there as the possible tying run, isn't he?

Seems like we could have gotten a few more runs in the last two innings. After playing smallball all series, we abandoned it that inning. Garland looks like he's starting the 9th.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 15, 2005 -> 03:00 AM) I'd go with Cotts. I think we know how much Ozzie hates to use Cotts in late inning situations though.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 15, 2005 -> 02:59 AM) No one in the bullpen has had much work which usually means you're winning which is good. But not pitching for a while usually means control problems when they come in. Eventually, they are going to be needed. Its a catch 22 situation. I'm worried about what type of control Jenks will have in the 9th if he comes in.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Oct 15, 2005 -> 02:58 AM) they showed jonny in the dugout and he ain't getting congratulated he's startin the ninth, imo If he starts the inning, he should be given one batter to reach base.

If Jenks comes in, he's going to have his work cut out for him with Figgins being a pesty first batter.
