Freddy starts the 7th inning, now at 100 pitches even as the first pitch is fouled back. Bunted foul, 0-2 to Ford. Interesting that Ford's only homer of the year was off Buehrle in the game we beat Johan at The Cell a few weeks ago, I was there. Ford singles, and Freddy could be done.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ May 15, 2006 -> 02:28 PM) Can't speak for Jim but I think a lot of Soxtalkers are going to be at that series or so it seems. Is Cincy not a very far drive from Chicago? Anderson picked off. Pretty similar to the drive to Detroit, and neither are bad at all. I'll be there for sure. Plus Cincy is a lot nicer than Detroit and the Cincy ballpark is very nice.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 15, 2006 -> 02:27 PM) You going to the series vs the Reds this year? I will be, hehehe. Montgomery Ribs biatch. Oh, and 3900 W. Madison?!!? Yikes, stay the hell away from there. f***ing west side is not a fun place. Anderson is picked off, Pods will lead off the 8th instead.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 15, 2006 -> 02:26 PM) Hawk says he'd rather see Pierzynski hit .260 and get the 20 HR's vs. higher average and less HR's. I say no. I'll take the average and on base being 70 points higher and have 5 homers instead of 18, thank you very much. We have some others people that can hit it out of the yard, A.J. needs to be on base.

BA draws the walk to setup the dangerous Scotty Pods, who can hit for the cycle including a walk if he triples here.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 15, 2006 -> 02:23 PM) The frisco melt is fantastic, you should try it again. Alrighty sounds good, however if that doesn't go well I'm done for good. And that would be saying a lot since I'm not exactly picky when it comes to what I eat. Widgermania taking some UGLY swings today, but hey it's been working. Widger whiffs on a nasty curveball, 2 outs.

I wish Juan would take a 2-0 just once. Please Juan?

Sonic is awesome, but I'm sorry Steak and Shake SUCKS. I wouldn't eat there again if they paid me to do it.

Morneau JUST underneath that one, whew. 6-2 Sox heading for the 7th, should be interesting to see if Freddy is done yet or not.

Uh oh, 3-1 to Cruddyer. No walks Freddy, Morneau on deck who can hit it a mile despite hitting below his weight in terms of batting average. Walked him, oops.

That matchup tomorrow will be great, Kazmir vs. McCarthy. Runs should be at a premium, and we gotta work into their pen. Hunter takes strike 3, ownage on the bender.

QUOTE(DePloderer @ May 15, 2006 -> 02:12 PM) Excuse me for going right off of the game thread but along with Lou Malnati's deep dish, we are planning on trying the ribs at Millers Pub ( next door to our hotel ). Wise choice? If you want pizza, you can go anywhere as long as it's Chicago based and your in great shape. Lou Malnati's is awesome though, I'd suggest it.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 15, 2006 -> 02:08 PM) I agree his O is over rated, we see him kill the Sox, but I'd be surprised if he is a .270 career hitter. .267 to be exact, with a very pedestrian .321 OBP. http://www.baseball-reference.com/h/hunteto01.shtml

Mackowiak 3 for 3 today and facing the lefty Reyes. The "B lineup guys" on fire today. 0-2 to Rob and he takes one about 2 feet outside. 1-2 and Reyes spins and looks toward 2nd to make sure the base stealing stud Jim Thome doesn't steal. Groundout to 3rd, inning over. 6-2 Sox after 5 and a half.

Thank God Eyre is out, he was making Trachsel look like Buehrle in terms of working fast.

1st pitching hunting, fouled away. Off speed pitch floats upstairs, 1-1. Ripped to right, Cuddyer catches it, Pods scores, 6-2 Sox. Sac Fly for Joe, that works.

2-0 to Paulie, heck of a pitch to make it 2-1. UGH, 2-1 is a fastball on a tee, and just missed it and fouled back. 2-2 pitch is WAY inside and hits PK in the thigh. That'll load 'em up with 1 out for JOE CREDE.

IBB to Thome, 1st and 2nd 1 out for Konerko. Pitching coach comes out, yawn.

Cintron looks like me in there trying to bunt, 0-2 count now. Cintron takes a pitch about 0.008 inches inside for a ball. Now a couple of pathetic looks back to 2nd as if they are going to pick off Pods, lolol. Now a throw to 2nd, not even close. This is pretty boring, throw a f***ing pitch already. Pods was running on the pitch, but it's hit foul. Ball 2 way outside, Pods holds. 2-2 chopped foul, long long at bat here. Another foul, chopped off the plate. I hate doing this commentary style post for a long at bat, hurry up Alex. Another look back to 2nd, Eyre is acting like his brother without the meds right now. And of course, now a conference at the mound with the SS, Mauer, and Eyre. Yawn. 2-2 is a HANGER but popped up. Caught by the SS, 1 out. Damnit Alex.

2 questions here: First of all the other guy besides Buehrle to beat a team after giving up 7 in the 1st beat the Chicago Orphans. Who the hell are they? And also, D.J. said that A.J. was hitting with the pink bat yesterday in "support of breast cancer". Now I don't know about you, but I DO NOT support breast cancer. Also, Pods with a double. He's a triple away from the cycle, including having a walk. Damn get the fire department on the phone.

QUOTE(SnB @ May 15, 2006 -> 01:46 PM) tuna? wtf is wrong with you. I had some portillo's for lunch, it was crede-like. Portillo's rules, however there aren't any in SoCal as far as I know.

QUOTE(shaneomacfan @ May 15, 2006 -> 01:46 PM) Seriously, I was so happy to see Blum get a hit off that asshat Howry in the 9th yesterday. With our series against them coming up he'll probably start talking more s***, I just hope we have several opportunities to shut him up. I think I'm going to have to agree with RockRaines on this one if you know what I'm saying. However, well said and I agree with your comment. And Freddy with a very very easy 5th inning, thanks to a great play by Juan.

He gone 2.0 Freddy whiffs 2 in a row to start the 5th after not whiffing anybody the first 4 innings. The gun has had Freddy at 92 to 95 all game with the heat, which is wrong. However his velocity has been the best I've seen all year.

Wow, Rodriguez looked like donkey penis that at bat. First K of the day for Freddy, at long last.

Crap, if BA had homered that and made it 8-2, we might have been able to start getting some Yaz stories from the 1967 Red Sox outta Hawk. Damn you BA.
