Time for BA to drive in this run.

Lets see if we can get the rally one in.

Time to scrap and claw and cheat or do whatever to get a run.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 07:35 PM) Nope. The ball was a rocket that one-hopped the wall. Pods played it well, and Batista had no chance to go for a double. K, gotcha. Thanks.

Man, gameday is going uber slow. Pods misread a ball?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 07:22 PM) This game may go 42 innings. And it will still be done by 11. I just told a friend of mine that this game is going to be 0-0 until the 59th inning when Crede hits a walkoff homer.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 07:22 PM) He's not facing Boone Logan Sorry, I meant starting pitcher. My mistake.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 07:18 PM) Nice catch by Anderson... At least his defense doesn't suck... If he can manage to get 4 hits today I will put a Brian Anderson fan club in my sig... Quite the simple task there...get 4 hits off the best pitcher in baseball.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 07:14 PM) Haha....good job Anderson. I wouldn't mind seeing Pods bunt here. At the least, get Anderson in scoring position. Let Brian go on first move, the guy can move. Where going to have to manufacture a run somehow, mine as well try eventually to steal...even with this tough battery.

Well, no runs but a productive inning at least because Johan had to throw some pitches.

Johan going for that 27 k game.

QUOTE(Brian @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 06:34 PM) What do you want me to do? Leave the site forever.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 05:20 PM) I'm sorry I didn't realize this was the Brian Anderson fan boy site... At least when AROW strugged he always had that short compact swing... Brian has one of the ugliest swings this side of Juan Uribe... Brian has done nothing to show that he's going to turn the corner or improve at all... I'd love to eat crow on this but so far all Brian has proved is that he's overmatched by major league pitching... In 11 whole games.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 04:55 PM) I don't know - I've seen that approach by the Sox. And it ain't pretty. There really isn't a good approach against Santana, if he's on, you're done. That being said, I would say hacking away probably is the best way to go because if you get in a two strike hole and have to protect against that changeup you're in a lot of trouble.

Betancourt has been placed on the dl. Cleveland is in trouble(well, not these next 3 games). That pitching staff isn't good as it is but now they've lost their best reliever imo for a period of time. They're going to struggle.

Should be a good one. Johan is as hittable right now as he'll ever be but I'm sure he's still going to throw a good game against us because he always does. Hopefully we can manufacture a few runs and pull this out. Also, I wouldn't be shocked to see Pablo start tonight, iirc he actually did pretty decent against Santana last year.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Apr 20, 2006 -> 10:39 PM) I swear it seems like he is one of those guys who ya think was around forever, and yet is still really young. Kinda like Guzman when he was with the Twins. Jon Garland.

I bet Afflalo stays. Not sure about Farmar, there's been rumors that he really wants to go to the NBA.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Apr 20, 2006 -> 06:16 PM) LOL. I don't know how I even remembered that. 4/20 must be an important date for you. Bad break for the Cubs, DLee is one of those guys you have to respect no matter which team he is on.

Willie is up now on espn 2.

I'm rooting for Miguel but he's never going to be more then a backup catcher.

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Apr 20, 2006 -> 12:29 AM) I'm with that thinking. How old is Malone again? 25 I believe(not 100 percent sure here).

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 11:34 PM) Agreed. They have way too many easy outs in their everyday lineup. I know Rowand is gonna tell me I don't know what I'm talking about and that the Twins are great. LOL. I've been down that street many times. I think the Twins are the 2nd best team in this division but hopefully them and Cleveland decide to suck, it'd make life much easier for all of us.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 11:02 PM) Last year, they got into these pointless s***ty distractions in August...Iguchi complaining about days off, people complaining about attendance, and suddenly they looked up and were on an 8 game losing skid. I'd rather them get these distractions out of the way now. 7 games.
