5 pitch inning there? Ozzie should get guys warming up in the pen to start the inning here, in case Garland gets in trouble.

Excellent job by Garland. How long will Ozzie let him go?

Big out in Surhoff here. He's had some good ABs today, so Garland's going to have to make a good pitch.

Palmeiro barely swung there, and the ball went to the warning track.

Damn, that's bad luck for Garland there. Here comes his nemesis Palmeiro.

Yuck. Lets hold them Jon.

Reed's in for Chen.

Great job Garland! Lets get some runners on base this inning.

We haven't seem to catch a break on a check-swing at all this season. That Everett vs Seattle check-swing was brutal.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 13, 2005 -> 01:35 AM) Will we have a thread with you saying something negative about everything even though the Sox are 25-9? I didn't think saying that was dumb baseball was that negative. I didn't even swear

QUOTE(JimH @ May 13, 2005 -> 01:34 AM) It's not smart to get picked off by this guy because he knows what he's doing in terms of holding runners on. I can appreciate the aggresiveness because that's Podsednik's job but he does not have this guy figured out. Yep, getting picked off once is no problem at all. However, to get picked off again the next time you get on is just not smart baseball. I GUARANTEE that even Pods would say he should never get picked off twice.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 13, 2005 -> 01:33 AM) Some f***ing scrub with a base hit off JG...those are the type of things that will hurt you with this loaded lineup. Hopefully Garland can get another double play here.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 13, 2005 -> 01:30 AM) Yep, and not only that but he's the master of hindsight. Thanks. Just so I know, will you have a thread saying you love Ozuna tonight even though he's K'd twice already?

QUOTE(He_Gawn @ May 13, 2005 -> 01:29 AM) Not really he just didnt get a good read. Man, if something goes wrong you really go against the Sox I've seen in these threads. What are you talking about? Getting picked off twice in 5 innings is not smart baseball, no matter what Hawk or DJ says.

That's stupid baseball right there.

I'd like to see a hit-and-run here with Iguchi.

QUOTE(Mplssoxfan @ May 13, 2005 -> 01:23 AM) Actually, Matos got hit by the pitch on his hand, is out for a few weeks. I thought they were asking why Bigbie got taken out of the game.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 13, 2005 -> 01:19 AM) Palmeiro always kills Garland. Maybe someday Garland will stop throwing him the high change-up? 4 homers in 18 career AB for Palmeiro now off of Garland. Good catch by Pods there.

Palmeiro always kills Garland. Maybe someday Garland will stop throwing him the high change-up?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 13, 2005 -> 01:13 AM) Dude got hit by a pitch on his hand. No he didn't. Mora was the one who got hit on the hand, but he's at 3b.

We need to keep scoring some runs tonight. 3 runs against the Orioles is like a 1 run lead against the Royals.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 13, 2005 -> 01:02 AM) Not a good start to inning. Garland's going to have to make good pitches to get out of this inning without allowing a run. Garland made some sensational pitches to Mora that AB.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 13, 2005 -> 01:00 AM) Alright this is a HUGE inning for Jon IMO Not a good start to inning. Garland's going to have to make good pitches to get out of this inning without allowing a run.

I'm not quite sure why we have our worst two hitters right now batting 4/5 in the order. Oh well, maybe someday Ozzie will move Uribe up in the order where he deserves to be.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ May 13, 2005 -> 12:56 AM) PK is pissing me the hell off. He'll let something right down broadway go by but he'll go golfing at a pitch in a dirt and K or pop out. He's playing like total dogs*** right now. I couldn't agree more. He had some great pitches to hit in both of his ABs so far.
