One more JV...come on...

Man, he really earned that walk, you gotta grant him that.

Shadows starting to creep across the mound

That pitch was just mean...

That's a little better...

Time to get the bullpen up.

No postgame show today.

Heck, with Burnett on the mound tomorrow, it might well be an ideal day to give Mack a shot at 3rd anyway.

Hope he didn't flare up his back.

Santorum's people even did the signature collecting for the green party.

Toronto brings in their scheduled starter.

Sweet. That's how you deal with the leadoff walk.

Fishing leadoff walks.

QUOTE(EvilMonkey @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 01:58 PM) I wonder how long it would take for the government weapons to wind up in the hands of the Hezbollah? Considering that the Israeli attack has basically turned that government into a pawn of Hezbollah, probably about 15 seconds.

Wow, Konerko scored from first on a triple. I'm impressed.

Man, we ALMOST let him off the hook again. They finally gave us a gift back.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 01:53 PM) We just never take that extra base anymore. Podsednik tried in the first. Thome also.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 12:43 PM) Im confused. He was caught having a high level of testosterone but no illegal substance in his system? In other words, they just don't know exactly which steroid it was. It's something that jumps up testosterone, but it's one of those that isn't specifically tested for and illegal by name.

U.N. draft agreement on a cease fire plan. Calls for everything you'd expect, Israeli withdrawal, buffer zone monitored by international forces, disarmament of Hezbollah, prevention of weapons shipments to anyone in Lebanon except the government.

If Ozzie can manage to keep Javy's string just short enough where he builds some confidence with this game, and decides he likes his delivery, maybe, just maybe, this could be another of them turning point games for a pitcher.

Seems like we're leaving a lot of chances on the basepaths early. That's troublesome, but at least we're getting chances. It'd be real nice to keep that bullpen for Toronto "overworked".

QUOTE(minors @ Aug 5, 2006 -> 11:18 AM) You would think someone like Howard Dean would say whoa we can't afford the republicans taking this seat somebody needs to back down. Well, first of all, at least on a lot of issues that matter a lot, from abortion, to the bankruptcy bill, to putting judges on the Supreme Court, to the Iraq war, the Republicans already have the seat. Secondly, the Republican in that race is an absolute joke. Polling what, 10%, sued by a couple of different casinos for gambling debts. So the risk is actually fairly minimal, even if he does go down. Third, if Howard Dean or someone like that were to have stepped in and tried to suggest to Lamont that they should leave the race, then what would the Republicans say? Oh, the Democrats don't have any principles, they're pushing out the principled people from the race because all they want is to win elections. And fourth, why exactly isn't someone like Bill Frist or George W. Bush standing up and saying "Oh we can't afford the Democrats taking Lincoln Chaffee's seat", where Chaffee is also looking at losing a primary challenge, but in that case, the Democrats actually have a strong challenger who will probably win that seat if Chaffee Loses.

When AJ goes 3-2 on a pitcher...that pitcher ain't lasting too long.

Keep it up for once Javier.

If nothing, at least Podsednik's blunder didn't cost us any runs. Shame Thome's did though.
