Wow, Politte is starting the 9th? Why's Ozzie changing things around?

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:12 AM) Ugh. I'm so nervous. we need that big first out. Here's my thinking in games like this: You have the lead going into the 9th inning. You can't ask for anything more. 3 outs, no matter how easy or difficult, without letting the other team tie you, and you win.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:11 AM) Yeah I threw out about 6 teams that would definitely have an interest in him. The Mets would be the most dangerous, and they would probably offer around 48/4. Mets are definitely the team I think would have a lot of interest. I wouldn't be surprised if the Dodgers trade Choi, and try to get PK back in their organization. Basically, what I'm saying is that I don't think it's very likely he's with the White Sox next season.

Good AB by Uribe. I swear, from the 6th inning on, he makes more weak outs on the first pitch than anyone else I can imagine.

Haha, you don't see many MLB hitters check their swing on a 3-0 pitch. At least Crede got on base. Hopefully, Uribe doesn't make an out on the first pitch here.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:08 AM) Let's just hope if he does stay with the Sox he gives us a hometown discount. 3/30 sounds pretty fair to me. There's going to be a ton of people going after him. 3/30 would be on the low end, I would think.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:07 AM) He's beed good since June 1. This isn't a recent occurance. But it's magnified when others around him are struggling.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:05 AM) Paul's already made a ton of money, with this first base market and the Mets and Yankees both needing 1st baseman(Giambi's a dh) he'll make some money. Yes, but he has the chance to go from 3/30 to about 4/50 with a good 2nd half. If Sexson can get a lot of money with his serious shoulder injury history, then PK should be in for a big time contract by someone in need of a 1b.

QUOTE(tony72 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:05 AM) I have been to the cell several times in the upper deck and I am surprised it hasn't happened there and hasn't happened in baseball more often.. The Sky Dome was the scariest I've ever been to.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:03 AM) Yes sir. Warm weather, stretch run, and contract season = big 2nd half statistically. No offensive player has more money to gain with a big finish to the season than PK.

f***ing Everett. Why didn't Timo get to bat? The 9th is Timo Time.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 02:00 AM) Ok, lemme explain myself. When I 1st saw the kid on the net, I was concerned. Is he okay? How did he fall? Then, when I realized he was okay, it isn;t as big of a deal. If someone pushed him,I am sorry and take it all back but if he fell on his own, he is just a dumbass. I know you didn't mean anything cruel. Everyone just needs to take a step back and realize how lucky he was that he didn't die. If you've ever sat in the front row of an upper deck, it's scary as hell when you look down. Thankfully, we didn't have a horrible tragedy occur.

That a boy PK! Like I said, I have no clue why they left Embree in. Were they afraid of Timo batting 2nd this inning?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:58 AM) Do you think the kid that fell is going to call his friends and tell them to watch for him on Sportscenter? Thankfully, the kid is ok. However, get ready to see him all over the talk show circuit now. Happening in Yankee Stadium = getting calls from agents as we speak.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:56 AM) I saw Jenks warming. He wouldn't choose this time to get him in would he>? It would make for an intersting night on soxtalk.com if he did, and the Sox lost. I think even I wouldn't be the most negative poster

Come on, lets rock Embree while he's in.

QUOTE(RibbieRubarb @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:55 AM) What's with the negitivity?? One run game against the 4-5-6 at Yankee Stadium = paranoid fans. If you're not worried, then more power to you. My blood pressure is envious of yours.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:54 AM) I doubt it. They are probably making sure he's OK, and probably want to know how it happened, like if someone pushed him. Yeah, even though for a second, it looked like the police had the kids hands behind his back waiting to cuff him.

Yes sir! Way to keep the ball down Cliffy! For better or worse, it's Hermanson's time to shine.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:53 AM) Ugh. AJ pointed up. I had visions of Sweeney Me too!

Man, missed his spot again. Need to keep it away from Sheff.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:52 AM) It appears as though they are going with off speed. Better not hang it again.

Those 88 mph inside sliders can go a long way!

QUOTE(whitesoxmanager @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:51 AM) absolute intentional walk sheff! Won't happen. You don't intentionally walk the tying run on base.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 01:50 AM) Walk Him. Maybe. If AROD hits a bomb it doens't matter. He's the clutchest hitter in the league. I like your philosophy
