Throw some strikes Jon! If they want to give up the first out, take it from them.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 02:52 AM) I loove Aaron Neville (Hawk voice) He looks a little like Muhammad Ali.

I'm sorry, not to be rude, but I find it funny that this Rosa Parks moment of silence is taking place at a home game for possibly the whitest team in sports in the last 25 years.

Rowand is really going to have to work on how he keeps his hands at the plate.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 02:43 AM) Konerko walks on four pitches. Springer should have started that inning. Oh well, I'll take the runner. AJP has had seemed very focus at the plate. Cora can't do anything supid with PK on the bases though.

Another great inning by Garland. Lets keep getting base runners, and hopefully insurance runs will follow.

Great pitch/location. That was a change-up McCarver!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 02:36 AM) I think your point was just made on that first swing by Morgan. Two very good pitches to hit up in the zone so far.

Ensberg is cheating on the inside fastball it seems, so Garland has to be careful with that sinker.

Still waiting for that Dye cheap homer to LF here.

Interesting approach this inning.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 02:25 AM) Everytime aj sets up outside in this park against lance I get scared. I get nervous everytime he swings. He really can make this park look small. Good positioning though, and a great job by Garland shutting them down.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 02:24 AM) I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. It's just the way you are. You see the 3 guys we left on base and not the 5 that we plated. Nothing wrong with that. Just the way it is. Yeah, I was sure pissed that we scored those 5 runs. I know we disagree on everything, but I would hope you'd think I have a little bit better sense for baseball than that.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 02:23 AM) Can you magically gain a sinker feel like you can a curveball? Yep

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 02:22 AM) Thats true, I remember that incident. That count and situation is not where I anticipate Roy throwing at him to hit him, even if Joe has homered earlier. Earlier tonight, I predicted he was going to plunk AJP tonight.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 02:20 AM) It's not greedy at all. It's just looking at things the way you always look at them. Wow, no need for you to be difficult about it. We had the chance to go for the juggular. Uribe had a solid AB, just couldn't get the big hit. Sorry, but even though I'm thrilled to get the lead in this game, a one run lead in this park isn't a guaranteed winner.

Oswalt has always been known as someone that has no problem hitting another batter. The confrontation between him and M. Barrett was quite comical last year.

Well, hard to not sound greedy, but that was a big out there. Garland has to face the top of the order here.

The umpire has helped out Oswalt this AB.

We just need to be quiet and not give the Astros any extra spark.

This is a huge batter in this game, and potentially the series.

How did Mr. "Struggles with offspeed pitches" lay off that pitch? Good eye Rowand.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Oct 26, 2005 -> 02:12 AM) I thought that was f***ing out. He crushed it. Yeah, but then you have to remember what part of the field he hit it to. I was concerned for a second it might be a ground-rule double.

AJP! Holy s***, he destroyed that f***ing pitch. Keep it going boys...prove a lot of us wrong.

Haha....base running always seems just a little too difficult for the Sox.
