QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:55 PM) Has Uribe drawn a walk in the last fortnight? He has 1 in May. It was some time in the last week.

Zito has walked 6 today. 1 of them has scored.

We'll probably see Kiko Calero in the 7th.

Dallas up by only 4, Anderson up, I think it's time for me to head home.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:51 PM) He's always a threat to pop up to the right side. That used to be the Graffanino special. Not against Zito.

Uribe up. Here's the bet...will he do anything other than strikeout?

Thornton up....Politte is already loose.

QUOTE(iWiN4PreP @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:47 PM) trade garland for griffrey! Cue it in 3...2...1...

That's 101 pitches for Jon through 6. Maybe Raines will leave him in for the 7th just to save the pen and make his arm fall off so that he can hit the DL.

QUOTE(Felix @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:44 PM) The bad news? 2 more games against the A's this week. Vazquez has given up 12 runs to Oakland in his career. The problem? He's pitched 12 innings against Oakland in his career.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:43 PM) It's f***ing awesome how the Marlins are sticking the Pierre trade to Hendry. How did that fool get extended after the first game of the season? That first win convinced Cub fans they had won the division. They bought up all the tickets. Hendry did his job.

The good news? 2 hours of 24 tonight. (Drooling).

Zito has actually thrown more pitches through 5 than Garland.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:38 PM) Like I said, the trade made sense to make. I like Vazquez. I just hope that Anderson isn't a bust and that Chris Young turns into some stud center fielder. After watching Vazquez pitch for the Yankees 2 years ago, I think it's more likely that Anderson will eventually figure out how to hit big league pitching and Vazquez will wind up being incredibly frustrating for several years rather than the reverse.

QUOTE(That funky motion @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:32 PM) You would think after all the years of watching Frank,Jon would know what to pitch him and what not to pitch him. I'm sure at least half the people on this board know where to pitch Frank. What a F'n joke. Citron should be starting and the Sox should be calling Walt for Uribe. Can we have Thomas give Uribe another kick in the arse while he's in town? It worked last year.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:27 PM) Vazquez is going to be great....if he can face Kansas City 20 times a season. Has anyone calculated what our record is with AJP catching vs Widger this season? AJ caught that game Garland pitched in Minny.

QUOTE(ShoeLessRob @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:17 PM) Yeah im wondering if he really ment that or was just throwing that out there to tickle our nuts. They did give him a statue. He's pitched the first few innings for us tonight.

And there's his 2nd home run of the night. Did anyone have Frank Thomas as their Pick to Click?

89 pitches for Garland through 5. The good news? He won't be going more than 6.

Frank only has 43 to go for 500.

Frank tonight got that career OPS back from .989 to .991.

You think he enjoyed hitting in this ballpark? Goddamnit Jon.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:24 PM) Marco Scutaro isn't a starter though. And Anderson K's. He does have 60% of the at bats B.A. has.

Man, 73 pitches for Zito through 4, 76 for Jon. At least Zito's thrown a lot of pitches too

QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:21 PM) Money says both Uribe and Anderson ground into double plays this inning. You have to hit the ball before you can GIDP. QUOTE(SSH2005 @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:22 PM) Is there an easier out in baseball than Uribe? Oh yeah, Anderson. :banghead Marco Scutaro is hitting .150.
