Uribe's helping his average by hitting a solid .222 in May.

Well, that's a way to get out of a slump.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:16 PM) Garland is probably at, what, 75 pitches now? 76. That inning was only 9 pitches...his shortest inning.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:13 PM) Ozzie told farmer in the pregame that he would get an inning tonight. He hasn't pitched in too long. Ozzie won't be making that decision.

QUOTE(Felix @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:11 PM) How has the game been? It seems Frank got the reception he deserves, and hit a HR with it, but anything else of note? Or has it just been a typical Sox/A's game? 100% typical.

57 pitches for Zito through 3, 67 for Garland. Lotta bullpen work upcoming tonight. Duchsherer is on the DL right?

Come on Jermaine, Joe, we NEED to get on the board here. QUOTE(fathom @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:09 PM) What lasted longer this season? - The Crede-for-MVP campaign? -The "Boone Logan might actually contribute" campaign - The cease-fire between jabroni and jphat I think the Crede campaign. He's still not doing all that bad (.260 in May), but he's, well, hitting .260 in May.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:07 PM) I'm sure no one else will agree, but the best thing to come out of tonight is that the Marlins are b**** slapping the Pussies. Thus, we don't have to read 20 columns tomorrow about how Barrett inspired the team to a WINNING STREAK. Right now it sure looks that way.

This is why leaving the bases loaded in the first was such a disaster.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:04 PM) Go Mavs! What's the score in San Antone?

QUOTE(ShoeLessRob @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:04 PM) That changed when he came up to bat for the second time... The first at bat was for the last 15 years. The 2nd at bat...he's an A now.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:02 PM) I think its going to be Montero time tonight... He's already warming up. Here's a pretty stat...67 pitches for Garland through 3 innings.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 22, 2006 -> 06:01 PM) I can't wait for the "jumping off the ledge" posts if we lose tonight, and the Tigers win. You wait all year for those don't you?

God damnit Jon...

Here comes pitch 60 for Garland through 2.2 innings.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ May 22, 2006 -> 05:55 PM) He's officially an enemy after the 1st at-bat, I guess. That's exactly what my thoughts were. 1 at bat of full cheers for all of his accomplishments here. Now he's an A, and we're down 2-0.

I have no problem with boos at this point.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 22, 2006 -> 05:48 PM) If we're not going to play Cintron when Uribe's in one of his typical slumps, I'm not sure why we got him. What happened on the bases? Widger ran on a ground ball to short, wound up in a run down.

Jesus Christ.

Come on Brian...earn your keep again.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 22, 2006 -> 05:45 PM) I don't want to see smallball here. We can't be playing for one run against Zito....especially with Anderson on deck. Widger is good vs Zito because he's an excellent high fastball hitter. I will take 1 run right now.

29 pitch inning there for Garland.

I wonder how much of this will wind up on sportscenter...

Why is Singleton asking where Logan is when you need him?

Hey, Anaheim fans...take a brief look...
