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.

The Rally Crede forgot his bat speed tonight. He's taking good swings, just a little late.

Take one for the team!

Ozuna should run for AJP here.

GREAT f***ING JOB GARLAND! Now, will Ozzie go to Jenks, or let Garland start the 9th?

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Oct 15, 2005 -> 02:49 AM) They keep jamming him inside. Whyhe hasn't moved off the plate a bit is beyond me And leave himself even more vulnerable to the outside offspeed pitch? As someone said just a few seconds ago, he'd make a great 4th outfielder.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 15, 2005 -> 02:45 AM) Rowand has really turned into a DP machine. He's so closed up on his swing right now, he ends up chopping/punching at most pitches from a righty.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 15, 2005 -> 02:44 AM) UNf***IN REAL. Actually, it was sadly quite predictable, as I'm sure you were worried about it also.

What a f***ing joke. Why does Rowand suck so bad now? Get your f***ing hands out when you swing.

Terrible, terrible f***ing AB by Everett. I have a feeling we'll see the squeeze with Rowand up.

Now that was a great play by Figgins. Everett has to lay off the splitter here.

Everett is swinging out of his ass.
