Dodged the bullet.

QUOTE(G&T @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 05:55 PM) Those don't look like strikes. Am I wrong? The first pitch/Curve ball sure looked like it caught the plate to me.

Think BMac can get Figgins with them loaded?

Come on Mark...Show some Marbles. Where the F*** was that pitch?

Sit down Mark. Hit the showers. Please.

BULLPEN

Bullpen ought to face Quinlan.

No walks Mark...

That's 2 steps deeper than the last gigantic fly ball Rivera hit. Buehrle doesn't pitch to Rivera again, I don't care if he retires the next 8 on 9 pitches. The next one's due to just clear the wall.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 05:48 PM) is buehrle still on a limit? time for the pen? 81 pitches to start this inning.

Joe Crede 2. Angels 0. Come on Absolut, knot this thing up.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 05:26 PM) True. I also get bummed when I see how many other teams get a spark from within their own organization. Our own 5-tool #1 pick in the meantime... And other teams get bummed when they see the spark of our world series rings. And our starting #1 pick just took a few months to get going. And is still playing the best defense in CF in baseball.

Great...now this home run will be a 2 run shot.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 05:20 PM) But at least we let the best possible back-up go to our WC rival for virtually nothing. I really can't believe you actually want him.

Man, we're in trouble.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 05:18 PM) There's always the "tipping my pitches" excuse. That's a favorite of mine. Hell, if Buehrle was tipping his pitches, they'd probably be fouling those off. They'd be over-anxious if they knew what was coming on floaters like those.

QUOTE(gettysburg32 @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 05:16 PM) Why is Mark in love with belt high 81 mph pitches a decent high school hitter would crush? Because they're not calling the low strike at all?

My lord Mark, come the Hell on, Jesus Christ

QUOTE(soxunited @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 05:11 PM) That will come in the 9th Only if it ties the game. Back to back 3-0 counts by MB. Against the bottom of their order.

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 05:09 PM) First pitch swinging out, first pitch swinging out, 4th pitch swinging grounder to first? Anderson is due for his daily hit.

"The White Sox don't steal a lot of bases" from Rex Hudler. Pathetic. And I don't mean him.

Now quick Joe, run to first, they didn't tag you!

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 04:59 PM) I wonder how many more RBIs Thome, PK, and Dye could have if our 1-2 hitters were more consistent. Aren't the Angels the best team in baseball over the last month and a half? The Angels are 14-9 since the Break. They went 8-1 in their 10 games before the break.

That is exactly what we needed. Thanks Jimmy. Now do your job 45.

Baserunners, come on 3-4-5, we need to hurt them now. QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 7, 2006 -> 04:59 PM) I wonder how many more RBIs Thome, PK, and Dye could have if our 1-2 hitters were more consistent. Aren't the Angels the best team in baseball over the last month and a half? I have trouble believing that, they've basically held steady a few games behind Oakland as far as I can remember for the last month. Maybe gained a game or two.
