3-0 broken bat single, nice.

That was high.

Who gets a bigger ovation tonight: Frank or Brian?

Doug Eddings.

Ya, it's bs. The brother of one of my best friend's is working for mlb right now and he said the big talk right now in the commissioners office is how long Barrett is going to be gone.

I would pay a lot of money to watch AJ get his hands on Mariotti.

yay car accidents.

Relief Pitcher.

QUOTE(Balance @ May 22, 2006 -> 12:46 PM) Exactly. Zambrano practically does the Macarena after striking someone out, but he can't take someone celebrating after homering off of him? Hypocrite. And I have to say that AJ's reaction seems pretty normal considering it was just out of the reach of Pierre, not to mention that it put us ahead at the time.

My god, this has to be a joke.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 21, 2006 -> 11:47 PM) I remember the roar after the Burke-Hunter incident because nothing was done to retaliate. Well somebody retaliated and it was Anderson. I've got no problem with getting a teammate's back. And you can definitely tell he gained the respect of a lot of his teammates, especially AJ. He stood up for his teammate and that's why he's earned a lot of respect.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ May 21, 2006 -> 11:46 PM) The only person that I feel sorry for the most is Count. He was charged with 4 earned and we all know that he pitched WAY better than his final stats indicate. Of course that's how baseball is and I will continue to love this game. His era skyrocked after that horrendous performance.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ May 21, 2006 -> 11:37 PM) What matters more than results is remaining healthy. That 95 mph fastball and tight curveball will lure someone into foolishly giving him an extended deal. Couldn't agree more there, I don't think there is any doubt about that. The starting pitching market is just retarded at this point.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 21, 2006 -> 11:37 PM) Game is on Cotts, sorry. I understand Uribe made a bad throw, but after that play, I swore when I looked at the scoreboard in my seat it said 4-3 Sox. Cotts said after the game he made two horrible pitches to Barrett and Jones, and thats what happens sometimes. Cotts will be fine, and I dont think this one goes on Oz. Cotts sucked. He knows, I know it, you know. Will get Oakland. Juan deserves some blame but yes... I definitely agree with you. Neal still had the lead and he got hit, there still isn't anyone else in that situation I would have rather had in then Neal and that includes Bobby. Like you said, we lost this game and we just have to move on.

Don't waste your money on a cubs suck T-shirt.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 21, 2006 -> 11:06 PM) Frank and Garland hanging out, awkward. Ha, I actually just told greasy that I can't imagine Frank and Garland being friends.

QUOTE(greg775 @ May 21, 2006 -> 11:02 PM) Cotts may have stunk after the fact but he's out of the inning obviously if Juan doesn't blow that easy d.p. relay. It is alarming the meat Cotts threw up there after the error, but technically that inning is over, then it's Jenks time. Correct BUT that doesn't get Neal off the hook. You have to pitch over errors because they're apart of baseball. He didn't today and that's going to happen but this game is as much on him as it's on Juan, if not more.

QUOTE(Beltin @ May 21, 2006 -> 10:57 PM) I will trust those who say Mack got a good jump Thinking back on it, I think a good way to put it is: that mack got a good jump put took a bad angle. BA might have got there but who knows.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 21, 2006 -> 10:56 PM) We were on CSN on Friday. Ok, there goes my theory.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 21, 2006 -> 10:54 PM) Haha. For the future, you may want to check the schedule. But when CSN came around last year, if the game wasn't national, the Sox were on one channel, while the Cubs were on the other. CSN has the away broadcast, wgn the home I believe.

QUOTE(YASNY @ May 21, 2006 -> 10:46 PM) Take another look at that play. Mack underestimated the length of the drive and had to adjust his route to the ball, which prevented him from getting there. Anderson puts it in his hip pocket. eh, I'll take your word for it. I was on the complete opposite side of the field high in the UD. From my point of view it looked like he got a pretty good job, but I'll believe you cause it is hard to judge the depth of a ball from high in the UD.

QUOTE(Beltin @ May 21, 2006 -> 10:37 PM) I hate second guessing managers during the course of the season, but I have to ask...What Ozzie was thinking in the 8th inning today? It was a smart move to keep BA out of the lineup today for several reasons. However, with a 2 run lead and 2 innings to go, I was baffled that Mackowiak was still in center field that late in the game with a decent lead. It was bad enough that he left Cotts in for two batters too many but I do believe the Sox still could have gotten out of the jam with a one run lead if they had their best defense out their in crunch time. Mackowiak did not stand a chance to catch Barrett's eventual triple. If they keep putting BA's struggling bat in the regular line-up because of his stellar defense, shouldn't he definitely be in there late in a tight game to help hold the lead? Mack actually got a really good jump on that ball, I don't think Brian would have got to it either. As far as leaving Neal in too long, I disagree. I usually don't agree with what Ozzie does with the pen but Neal is our best reliever and can get lefties and righties out, the 8th should be his imo, lefty or righty. He just completely imploded after the error, that's all on him. QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ May 21, 2006 -> 10:40 PM) Personally, I thought Contreras should've been left in. Ozzie wasn't going to let JC get the L, that's how Ozzie manages.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ May 21, 2006 -> 10:30 PM) I'd say you're doing a good impersonation of Mariotti at this forum thus far. LOL, so true.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ May 21, 2006 -> 09:46 PM) The funny thing about him is that he does not speak his mind at all, he actually takes the exact opposite side of what everyone thinks is correct on purpose so people will read his column either to rip him for being a dumb ass or for "speaking his mind" as some actually think he believes the s*** he writes. Either way the Sun-Times does sell papers and a whole lot of people sure do talk about his column, so it must be working for him. Bingo and well said.
