QUOTE(kapkomet @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 08:05 AM) Too obvious. It needs to be closer to the election, but not close enough that they don't get the bounce in opinion polls. If he winds up dead, who the Hell cares when it happens? QUOTE(Goldmember @ Jun 8, 2006 -> 08:13 AM) An image taken from TV footage shows what the U.S. military in Iraq said is a picture of a dead Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, al Qaeda's leader in Iraq, at a televised news conference in Baghdad June 8, 2006. (Reuters TV/Reuters) The thing I want to know is...how many legs did he have?

QUOTE(tigerfan @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 07:43 PM) I see your point, but it's frustrating to see us throw away games we should have won. We've done that 5 times in the last week. We should be up by a lot more then just half a game right now. We've done that probably 10-15 times this year already.

Still...that throw was absolutely insane.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 07:40 PM) Help me out here: what's Jose's ERA now? 2.54.

Offense and bullpen hold it together to get Jose the much deserved win. Hell of a tough outing for Jose but he got through it. His longest outing of the year. Alex, Jim, Jermaine, nice work. And someone punch Crede in the face. Crede and Cora owe Mrs. Uribe some flowers.

Thanks for the help Mags!

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 07:35 PM) Great pitch sequence against one of the hardest guys to K in baseball. We need to get Infante out, so Ordonez is only the tying run. I blame you for that one.

QUOTE(winninguglyin83 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 07:33 PM) leyland is a wise man, but if you're managing that team, doesn't Zumaya have to close ahead of Todd Freakin jones? Not with the money they're paying Jones.

FSN Detroit's gun has been off all night, but that was the fastest pitch I've seen.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 07:32 PM) I realize he got the outs, but did he look good doing it? I wish I got home just a bit earlier so I could have watched. Was he locating his off-speed stuff or was it just the FB? It was batting practice. He threw the ball up there and let the first 2 guys get themselves out.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 07:28 PM) Who thought Politte would suck and get hurt like this. I don't think anybody expected him to be around 2.00 but 4.00 wasn't out of the question. There was NO spot open but the second lefty and that has turned out to be a plus. You don't go out and get a guy who may or may not be good and replace Politte. That doesn't make sense. Yeah, but he's not really talking about Politte's spot, he's talking about the spot that went, successively, to Hermanson, Logan, Nelson, Montero thus far.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 07:28 PM) I'm still scratching my head over that play by Gomez. How is that not a hit and and error? Because we're at home, and Cintron gets the hit then.

Konerko Vs. Zumaya, round 3.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 07:25 PM) Of course he brought in Cotts to get Granderson, did you imagine he wouldn't? I mean, c'mon. He let Montero face Gomez (a lefty)

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 07:23 PM) gone wouldn't it be amazing if our pen could close out a game without giving up a bunch of runs Or even better, doing it twice in a row?

Thanks a bunch Neal.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 07:21 PM) Does Detrot have a third catcher? Surprised someone's not running for Wilson. Inge, IRoid, and someone named Santiago left on the bench for Detroit.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 07:20 PM) It can't be Bmac and Cotts and THornton every night. One of Montero or Tracey is going to have to pitch quite a bit. Cotts didn't pitch yesterday and had an offday monday. He was plenty rested, he should have had the whole damn inning.

Montero with the classic "Throw it down the middle and they're going to make 2 out of 3 as outs"

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 07:17 PM) They have a lefty, righty, lefty....where's Cotts? I assume he's the doctor delivering Uribe's baby. QUOTE(ThinWhiteDuque @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 07:17 PM) I like the Logan call by Ozzie, regardless of what happens. It's a long season; let's see what Logan's made of... Ah memories...

QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 07:16 PM) hahaah proved us wrong Man, that was f***ing close.

Please bring in the lefty Ozzie

Who wants to bet SHelton ties this up of Mitsubishi?

f***ing Ozzie with his f***ing matchups

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 7, 2006 -> 07:13 PM) NOt even close if he doesn't bobble the ball and makes a good throw. It wouldn't even have needed a good throw. The ball went under his glove at about the same time Crede tagged third. He could have missed the plate by 10 feet and Crede would still have been out.
