Go out to LF in about the seventh inning sometime. You can still see the water on it. Its pretty soaked to begin with. I thought it was ironic that Oakland puts no water on their infield before the games there, and they never are running.
I don't know, they re-rake it in the 5th or 6th and it filters easily. The water content is low enough to where I think it won't effect our speed on the basepaths.

Going through the thread and talking about field conditions, does anyone know why Roger Bossard soaks the infield before the games at USCF? I would think with the White Sox wanting to run they would keep it a little drier.
It's more of a light dampening than a soaking. Just so dust doesn't fly up.

Sliding headfirst into home is a MAJOR no-no. Especially if you aren't the most nimble of baserunners.
That has seperated shoulder written all over it.
Well whatever slide on your ass outside the bag and reach out. The attempt was pathetic.

It's hard to railroad a catcher who is standing there, braced, and WAITING for you to come in. AJ had no chance.
I didn't say he had to plow him. Slide head first off the bag and try to get one hand in there. Make the catcher work somewhat.

That looked like someone knew he was pegged the second he saw his third-base coach waiving him home.
That doesn't give him the right to let up any and give the opposing catcher a love-tap.

We should know we'll have to play near the top of our game in the post-season. But who thinks that this team and this manager won't do that?
The vast majority of us.

Man I hate Wings. "It Don't Come Easy" blows any Paul song away. I think we can at least agree George is the best by far.
