Well, the good news, if there is any, is that Erstad, Thome, and Konerko get to face Borowski in the 9th.

With Uribe on deck...I don't bunt. I maybe bunt with Uribe if AJ winds up on 3rd.

ESPN.

QUOTE(watchtower41 @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 01:58 PM) I'm guessing you guys all still want him sent down immediately after the game?? I think I want him closing.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 01:58 PM) out of all the scenarios posted nobody said stirke out the side. what's wih you peeps? I think we're all in shock.

Standing ovation. Yowza. Welcome to the AL kid.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 01:53 PM) I could care less if we go 0-2. It's just disappointing to see Spring Training carry over into the regular season with this pitching. The LF/CF situation is going to be a joke all season. I wouldn't mind the LF/CF if the pitching was there.

So, here's your choice if you're Ozzie. Aardsma, Thornton, or putting a gun to your head. Pick one.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 01:46 PM) I like Crede, but I can't recall a single clutch hit he had after May last year. Dye was the s*** though in clutch situations. Had a pretty clutch one earlier today, I'll grant him that.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 01:44 PM) 4 of our next 6 scheduled hitters are lefty. The good news is that the Tribe used up their LTOGY. Roberto Hernandez is up.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 01:36 PM) Hey Ozzie....this is why it's pointless to have three lefties in a row, regardless of who starts. And now, 3 righties after them. I still like Crede hitting 6th, but it would be quite nice if Thome was hitting 4th.

Steroids Betancourt is up in the Indians pen. He'll probably pitch to Konerko.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 01:29 PM) Think Fultz will have any difficulty getting through the 7th. Not the first 2 outs.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 01:28 PM) Best player in baseball right there folks. 2 home runs in 2 games...not a bad start on that MVP award.

I'm gonna call "Ballgame".

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 01:26 PM) everybody take a deep breath about these radar guns. Why exactly should I? These guys are supposed to be fireballin', and I don't see it yet.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 01:24 PM) I'm with ya. I wish it was at least a little faster, it's like three pitches behind. It's using up way too much memory on my computer to be effective. Takes forever just to switch windows.

QUOTE(Jenks Heat @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 01:21 PM) Farmer wet himself over a 90 MPH fastball. Was it really only 90? Pods hitting there is inexcusable as he should be out of the game for defensive reasons. I'm worried about these readings on MMac. Those are really slow. People watchcing the game, do his pitches look particularly slow?

So, the Comcast gun has MMac topping out with the fastball at 89, and Farmer said his k pitch on Peralta was at 90.

Well, and here comes the LTOGY to get 3 lefties out with no problem, for the first of what will certainly be many times this season. Maybe Ozzie will pinch hit for Thome.

Farmer's scoreboard update is about 30 minutes old. "Are the blue jays coming back in that game?" "It's 10-2. No" (That game is now 10-9)

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 01:06 PM) MacDougal isn't exactly the guy you want on the mound with a teacup strikezone. I'm having trouble thinking of any pitcher on our staff who I'd actually want on the mound with this strike zone, let alone in our bullpen.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Apr 4, 2007 -> 01:04 PM) Chances logan would do any better over the course of this season is not too great in my opinion. I totally disagree. But I think we'll get the chance to find out.

Welcome MMac. Take care of business. Please.

Well, that could have been worse.
