AJ GIDP 463.

Dye pops out to Shelton after an 8 pitch at bat.

Why are Farmer and Singleton talking about base stealers with Konerko @ 1b?

Konerko with a leadoff single to left.

86 pitches for Jose through 7. 61 strikes. Chris Spurling in for the tigers.

Dye takes a walk.

Farmer is right...good work Joey Cora by holding Iguchi at 3rd on that Thome double. Hopefully, Cora's learned a few things this year.

Konerko with a 2 RBI single up the middle. 3-0 Sox.

Thome with a double, Gooch holds at 3rd.

QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 11:10 AM) Will Pods hit double digits in hits this year? Fixed that for you.

The Gooch takes a walk.

Scott Podsednik...you have no...MARBLES!

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 11:07 AM) Man...pitching in the AL Central is sick. Some of this is not due to quality pitching.

Come on Scotty, it'd be nice to see a 2/3 one time this season from you. (Starts shaking bag full of marbles)

1 out triple in that inning, and it still only took Jose 9 pitches. 53 pitches through 5 for JC. He's on a pace that could complete this thing.

Jose gets the 1 pitch out on Shelton, nice work, 2 down, sac fly no longer in order.

9 pitch inning for Jose there. 1-2-3 innign for the 2nd time for Jose. 34 pitches through 3 innings for him. He's still faced the minimum.

Another quick inning for Robertson. 9 retired in a row. 10 pitch inning for him there.

Nice way to get rid of that hit.

The gun at the stadium supposedly has clocked Contreras at 97.

Crede Grounds out to Inge. 6 in a row retired by Robertson since Pods's double. 14 pitch inning for Robertson.

AJ Strikes out swinging.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 10:17 AM) What are you basing that on? Range? Errors? Arm? I don't see him very often at third, but I did watch him a great deal when he was with the Rangers and thought he was solid at SS. I assume he hasn't dropped off that much at 3rd and in NY. He's solid, but he's not great. His range isn't as good as Crede's or Chavez's. For example, if you believe Zone Rating and Range factor tell you anything, Crede and several other 3b's beat ARod by quite a bit.

QUOTE(vandy125 @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 10:14 AM) ^^^^^^^^^^ Jeter's glove is overrated IMO Jeter's glove is approaching terrible. He makes a few easy plays look great because his range is so poor. Uribe makes outs Jeter would never dream of.

QUOTE(Allsox @ Apr 12, 2006 -> 10:11 AM) Hate to say it but Joe's not going to win it with Alex Rodriguez and Eric Chavez at the same position.... And considering that ARod isn't that great of a defensive 3b, that tells you all you need to know about how that award is chosen.
