QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 09:52 PM) I didn't read the whole thread, anyone know why Politte closed tonight? Dustin's back has been bothering him so Ozzie probably just gave him the day off.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 09:51 PM) If he hits them that hard off the end of the bat, he's going to be a 50 home run guy some day. Is that what the replay showed? I was sitting a couple rows from the Tiger on deck circle and as soon as he hit it everyone around me knew it was gone. Ahh, yeah he actually didn't hit it flush, it wasn't a great pitch by the Duke cause it was up and over the plate but he didn't get the sweet spot of the bat on it.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 09:40 PM) Just got back. El Duque was better than he was when he went on the DL, he actually fooled a couple of guys, but he is not at a point where he can be relied on. They hit some ropes off him, including an Inge bomb the very first pitch of the game. All in all, I would say he was average tonight. Maybe he can improve, but if he went down to a tired shoulder in June, I don't see how anyone can count on him for September and October. That ball Inge hit was actually off the end of the bat and just kept going.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2005 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 09:31 PM) I didn't catch any of the game until about the 6th inning. Did he look good? He get hit hard? How was his control? Did he have to throw a lot of pitches? Any feedback would be apperciated. To be honest he looked pretty good. His fastball was the best he's had since he's been a member of the sox. His breaking balls ended over the plate a lot but they were biting. Best thing tonight though for the most part he was ahead of hitters early on if he does that he should be fine. He pitched 4 innings in his rehab start and then had a shaky 5th inning in this outing so he still needs to regain some stamina, overall he was solid tonight I thought.

To be honest I don't know what to even say about this team right now. They're awesome, period.

Frank's looked bad all night and then he just crunches one. Great job Frank!!!!!!!

QUOTE(KevHead0881 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 08:43 PM) Ok, gotta question. I thought I knew a lot about baseball, but for whatever reason, I drew a blank on this one. So, Crede is up, and Carl Everett comes out to the on-deck circle to pinch hit for Uribe. So what happens after Crede hits the homerun? Uribe comes back out to hit. Can you really do that? I know, this must sound like a stupid question to most of you, but I just don't remember seeing that happen. Yes, once Gene would have announced Carl's name then it would have been official.

Very nice inning by Luis.

QUOTE(Soxnbears01 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 08:27 PM) gotta be crede's sideburns Absolutely no doubt, that's the reason.

QUOTE(PutItOnTheBoard @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 08:26 PM) i think he may have heard that one 3 posts above yours, bud.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jul 18, 2005 -> 08:24 PM) LOL. Whoops. I posted that after the homer in case you didn't notice. As I was being sarcastic.

Uribe sucks

Joe's reaction to that homer was very similar to the one he hit against uggy last year to jolt us into first place.
