We really need to get some runs this inning.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 07:09 PM) I don't blame him. They're a lock to win their division...no need to pitch him twice today. Home Field Advantage throughout the playoffs means nothing? Especially against the team they're racing for that home field?

My lord, a caught stealing. PANIC!

Great plan leaving Rivera on the bench Torre.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 07:06 PM) Um...where's the lefty? Garland has only thrown 85 pitches. You know pitchers don't get tired before 100. Tigers 5, Yankees 3.

Runners left in scoring position, 2 out: Konerko; Thome; Podsednik; Pierzynski; Iguchi 2. Runners left in scoring position, 2 out: Zobrist; Paul.

10 left on base...

First pitch swinging against Dan Miceli? Yeesh. Is he drunk?

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 06:58 PM) I'm stunned that they're changing pitchers to face Puds. Corcoran had thrown 105.

By the way...if Thome were in the 3 hole, this would be an ideal place for the DRays to bring in a Lefty...But with Dye in there, now they look ahead to Iguchi and Dye, and bring in the righty, and maybe give Podsednik a chance.

I would even be willing to tolerate a suicide squeeze here from Podsednik.

QUOTE(whitesoxin @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 06:54 PM) 3.5 tonight barring comebacks from the Twins and Tigers. Of course we have to make up more runs than both those teams combined. We also have a better offense than both of them combined. Against Tampa Bay pitching, we should be spit on if we can't score 4.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 06:54 PM) Take 2 Juan. On a 3-1 count, wouldn't taking 2 give the guy a chance to strike him out? (The sad thing, I had exactly the same thought when I saw the count on Uribe)

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 06:52 PM) I get a nice little laugh out of the panic their fans have to be going through right now. We were there last year...and it's not fun. I'd enjoy it a lot more if we weren't losing 4-1 to the D-Rays and helping the Tigers out immensely

So we walk the guy who's hitting .222, and who hits .202 against right handers, to face the guy who's hitting .272 and who hits .239 against right handers. Why? Because the better hitter is a righty.

Delmon Young is hitting .800 against us with a 2.314 OPS

ARGH

It'd be really nice if those high-OPS guys could turn into 3 runs here.

Injury delay says Gameday? Someone wanna tell us what happened?

Anderson .234, Uribe .239... He could literally pass our SS today.

Good ol ARod, knocking in a run while barely making contact.

9 pitches in 2 innings. That's remarkable.

QUOTE(kwolf68 @ Aug 30, 2006 -> 05:43 PM) Derek Jeter is bad ass...he has tied the game up over there.... MVP! Oh, wait.

So let's see, in order I get home and discover: 1. The game is on WCIU and not carried at all by DirecTV out here 2. The Yankees are down 2-0 on the Tigers 3. Garland spotted the D-Rays a 3 spot. That was a pretty spiffty 10 minutes of news.
