QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 04:29 PM) I am. Not real impressed so far, just like I was not realy impressed against Western Mich. I was at that game though. Those Syracuse jerseys are awful. At least the beautiful Pam Ward is doing the game :banghead

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 04:28 PM) Well. It doesn't matter who we threw out there. It would either be a 0-0 tie or a loss. Hopefully thats a jinx. Shouldn't you be watching the UVa/Syracuse game?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 04:26 PM) And this shocks you. Santana will have less pitches by the 5th inning than El Duque has by the 3rd. This particular Sox offense doesn't have a clue how to hit Santana. He's had more success against the Sox this year than any pitcher I can remember in a long time.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 04:25 PM) Thats a good thing. Get him up there in pitch count and bring in Bmac. I agree w/you. Sad thing is that Duque should have never been allowed to start this game. It's almost like we're prepared for Duque to do bad, so we have our damage control ready in the bullpen. This is no time to be playing anything but your best.

Do the Sox face Lohse or Radke tomorrow?

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 04:23 PM) The twins didn't rearrange their rotation so that Santan would face the Tribe. We would have missed Santana if he was on the schedule he was on, but those sorry f***s up there want the White Sox to miss the playoffs. They don't care about the indians, but they hate the White Sox. Since the Sox have been their main rival for a few years now, I don't really blame them.

Duque gives up a leadoff single to the weak hitting Jason Tyner.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 04:16 PM) BULLs***!!! This guy never had a blister. They just wanted him to pitch twice against the White Sox So what? You have to be able to beat the pitcher you face. The Indians were able to find a way to beat him last Friday.

3 up, 3 strikeouts

2 batters, 2 strikeouts looking

After being 2-19 in the 3rd spot, you'd think PK would be moved back to the 4th spot.

It's too bad the Yanks and Red Sox don't play each other like 7 times the rest of the way. I'm pretty sure they only have 3 games left.

If the Sox happen to lose today, I hope there's no meltdown on this board. The odds are very high that they'll lose today. That's why last night's win was so important.

YES SIR!!! Great win. Jenks is so much easier on the blood pressure than Hermanson.

Cuddyer has always scared the living s*** out of me.

QUOTE(JimH @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:56 AM) At least Iguchi hit the ball hard but you have got to get a fly ball there. I realize it's Nathan, but still. Big time blame on Podsednik for not making that pitcher throw two strikes. You take until it's 3 and 2. Why were the Twins shading Iguchi so far up the middle???

I promise I won't blame Ozzie if the Sox lose this game for the Pods move.

QUOTE(Felix @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:53 AM) And wait, if we lose, everyone is going to blame Ozzie for not pinch hitting for Pods. I wouldn't have had Pods batting there. However, it's all about the bottom of the 10th now.

Wow, that was real bad after the great luck. I have a bad feeling we'll look back on those last two hitters with a lot of regret.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:52 AM) What was wrong with Podsednik batting in that situation? He's not very good at hitting with the bases loaded.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:52 AM) The only thing I could think of is if you put Anderson in Nathan comes in to pitch. That is probably a K. At least Pods avoided the DP.Borchard as a switch hitter may have been an option. Romero had to pitch to that first batter.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:51 AM) Look out for Miggy Cabrera, he's still only 22 and putting up ridiculous numbers. Good call. I think he might go Manny and get a little crazy though. Also, playing in that park will hurt his numbers.

QUOTE(Felix @ Sep 17, 2005 -> 02:50 AM) It's Ozzie's fault Pods didnt get a hit there. Didn't Ozzie have Anderson ph for Pods last week against a lefty?

We never come close to hitting Nathan. Pods had to try and hit that ball in the air.

Question...why did Pods bat there? He has been brutal with bases loaded all season. That was a huge play in this game.
