QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 03:48 AM) Jenks is coming in. Personally, I would have stayed with Cotts. Blow them away Bobby. We've never seen Cotts in a save situation.

No matter what happens, going to Jenks is the right call.

If Rowand is on the Sox next year, he should never get the bunt signal. He has a better chance to hit a squibber to 2nd base.

That was absolutely pathetic.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 03:42 AM) They said earlier Jenks was only available for a batter or 2. I guarantee you that he would love to start the 9th.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 03:38 AM) LEAVE. IN. COTTS. If Jenks is feeling ok, you go to him. He's had good success vs Lane in this series.

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 03:37 AM) Why did he backhand that, even though he got him? I don't think he's very comfortable on this field. That was a very nice play though, so who cares!

GREAT JOB NEAL! It's going to be Jenks in the 9th!

Wow, that ball looked like it could have been a gapper off the bat.

I don't see how Cliff can fool Ensberg.

Politte looked awful last night against Ensberg.

Cliff is self destructing. Berkman has seen a lot of pitches in this series vs Cliff.

f***! That's not what we needed.

Come on! That's just terrible. No choke jobs!

Biggio destroys the straight fastball, so Politte needs to be careful with the heater.

f*** yeah Dye! Massive credit to Ozzie for having Willie leadoff this inning. His approach works very well against someone like Lidge.

A wild pitch would be quite nice. I really wish we would have tried something aggressive instead of going with smallball.

Damn, we still need a single off of Lidge to score the runner.

Great AB by Willie. I wouldn't bunt right away here. I'd try to get Harris to steal 2nd prior to the bunt.

Willie's turn to be a hero?

QUOTE(greg775 @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 02:59 AM) hey fathom i'm not being critical, just curious. when did you get your game face on in the playoffs. you were saying at the start of the bosox series you were just happy to be in the playoffs and would not be critical at all. You were brutal on Oz last night. Again, just curious. For the Red Sox series, I was like the fat girl at the prom...just happy to be there. Once they advanced, it became a different situation.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 02:57 AM) LOL. He would have had no chance to score on that play. If he's busting his ass all the way, he has a chance to score. I'm pretty sure Berkman's throw was off line to his cut-off man. You know Cora would have taken a chance.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Oct 27, 2005 -> 02:57 AM) Yah. Juan can't hit that pitch. Just too good for him. The last two sliders were definitely hittable. If he even had the slightest clue about driving it to RF, he could have crushed that first slider.

Rowand just put himself in territory to become famous for choking on the base paths.

Uribe had a great pitch to hit there.
