Wild pitch, Konerko to 2nd, Thome holds. Base hit scores 2.

Base hit for PK, 1st and 3rd, 2 out rally time, let's go JD, get that run back.

The dreaded 2 out walk. Make him pay PK.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 10:42 AM) I'd be more concerned about Scott if he was striking out a lot. He's just hitting them where they am, I guess. That would make sense if he was hitting anything hard. He's not. Not even hard ground balls.

Well...at least Pods saw 6 pitches. That's something, right?

A leadoff baserunner would be really really really nice here.

Another long inning for Garland there. 45 pitches through 2.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 10:37 AM) What happened?! Infante hit a popup, Dye went diving for it, missed it, Infante at first, hoping dye didn't hurt a wrist.

Supposedly Dye is out there squeezing that wrist a little bit. We'll see if he stays in for the next inning.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 10:34 AM) Oakland's awesome pitching staff is getting lit up by the juggernaut offense that is the Twins. Torii Hunter with a home run.

Anderson flies out on the first pitch, eesh.

Cintron with the 2 out single.

2 quick outs to start the 2nd.

Man Jon needed that. Settle down JG. 26 pitch first inning for Jon. And only 14 for strikes.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 10:23 AM) im not gonna blame him too much for what has happened so far this inning...IF hit, bulls*** past ball by AJ, the walk to maggs was bad, but a single on a pretty good pitch by young...gotta get shelton The single happened when Garland fell behind in the count, just like the walk with Ordonez.

QUOTE(POPPY_HIDALGO @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 10:20 AM) I officially blame this inning on you for using that symbol. And not the GoSox one, the one I removed.

Garland's pitching from behind way too much already.

Ordonez takes a walk.

IRoid grounds otu to Iguchi, run scores. 2-1.

Polanco grounds out to Gooch, runner to 3rd

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 10:14 AM) I'm very scared if (when) we hit a slump. This place is going to explode. Hopefully one of the dead will rise from their graves to rescue this team if Thome slows down.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 10:11 AM) BTW, anyone else think Gooch might be hitting this good because Pods is never in front of him?? Except for the lack of home runs, the Gooch was hitting like .310 or so for the first month or two of 2005 also. I think he's just a good starter.

Back to Back. Paulie, your turn.
