QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:14 PM) Phew, thank God for our offensive savior, Carl Everett. Without him we're down 1-0.

Ok, well it couldn't have hurt to try I guess.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:11 PM) Now I know why some of you questioned why we didn't bunt a guy over in the 2nd inning. No, you don't bunt here, if that's what you're asking. You don't bunt with your #3 hitter.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 12:08 PM) Great game for Garcia. Sadly, he might just get the Jose Contreras treatment. Garcia's only thrown 92 pitches, I bet we'll see him in the 8th.

ANd here comes that hitting Monster Tony Womack...

With Hunter on the DL and the national media watching, ARow may have just earned himself a gold glove.

C'Mon Paulie, no one is in scoring position, time for another HR.

55 pitches through 4 for Freddy, he's on a good pace to be able to go at least 7. 67 pitches through 4 for Small...he might be lucky to finish 6 at this pace.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 11:14 AM) I hope Giambi tries to bunt Well he should more often...people leave the 3rd base line wide open for the guy. He could get like 10 hits before people adapted too.

1st and 2nd, nobody out...Clear and Cream up...I don't like this.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) Anyone know Jobu's phone number? Jobu never helped him hit a curve ball. "Straight ball I hit it very hard"

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 11:08 AM) shoulda bunted How close was ARod playing? That probably would have been the best thing for Uribe to do.

Come on Podsie, we need you...

C'Mon Juan, you're like 2 sac flies behind the guy from Detroit.

Ok...if the Widge is doing anything other than bunting, I shall be quite confused.

So I know it's a 3-0 count...but why exactly is Blum not bunting again?

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 10:58 AM) AJ is getting a bad rap IMO, Garland and MB are so good holding runners on people don't really run on them, but Duque, The Count and Freddy do such a horrible job holding runners on only I-Rod would have a shot The wild pitches also make AJ look worse...because those guys throw so many balls in the dirt.

CRASH!

THE WIDGE!!!!

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 10:54 AM) Blah, leadoff walk to Jeter. It's hard to dread a leadoff walk more than when it happens in front of these guys.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 10:50 AM) We make a lot of running errors for a first place team. Carl delivers the RBI and then get's gunned down. What's the deal? In some spots, it's us being too aggressive. Carl makes a few on his own too. But you don't put carl in the lineup for his baserunning...you do it because he hits RBI doubles off the wall. When each person does their job as well as they can, we'll win games despite a few mistakes.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 10:48 AM) Nice to have Carl back, but if Timo hit that it would have gone out. 1-1 now You are my enemy now.

Welcome back Carl!

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 10:44 AM) Why bunt in the 2nd inning? Because you have Chris Widger and Juan Uribe coming up after Blum, and you're down by 1 run. Bunting...maybe 1 of those 2 gets a hit and you tie the game. Those 3 aren't going to start many big innings.

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Aug 10, 2005 -> 10:41 AM) the .153 catcher gets a single Hung him a breaking ball. If you're gonna hang a breaking ball, he's as good of a guy as any in this lineup to do it to.
