QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 09:39 PM) Noe the box score says hermanson didnt give up and earned run his era is at 1.00. Rowand got the #4 web gem Excellent. ArRow earned that. I'm happy.

QUOTE(nvxplorer @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 09:36 PM) The error was for taking the extra base, not the whole play. Single, second on the error. I don't think there's anything ArRow could have done to avoid a double on that play other than give up on the ball. I don't like the error call there at all.

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 09:33 PM) Agreed noway was that an error arow could done a better job but that still wasent an error. But if you look at it the other way atleast it dosent affect hermanson era. Good point, and no matter what ArRow will not be winning the center field gold glove, so I guess that's a nice thing. Lefties are hitting better than .300 against Hermy right now...that's a bit of a concern for me going forward. Especially if Marte's down for more than a day or two.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 09:29 PM) I can give ARow one But he made an error too. That play was not an error, no matter what the official scorer says.

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 09:25 PM) Cotts Crede's D timely hitting!!! Don't forget ArRow's diving catch in the 7th to save the win for Jon (otherwise he leaves the game with it tied 3-3)....

1 or 2 more of these, and we'll have the 2nd Sox pitcher in 3 years starting the All Star game for the AL. Might have the 2nd guy to come into the game also. He pitches tomorrow.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 09:25 PM) Crede gets defensive mvp of the game. Now its time to cheer on the dodgers for the rest of the night. Hate to say it...but even with that miss in the 9th, that play by Rowand in the 7th gives him my Defensive MVP. Saved 2 runs with one dive. Now that's a web gem. We better have somethin in the web gems list on ESPN tonight.

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 09:24 PM) AND THATS A WHITESOX WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10 wins for Big Jon Garland, Garland Y-ES! Oh, and Uribe, Crede, and Rowand on Defense -

Man, that 2-1 pitch has been called a strike all night. Full Count...

Did ya know that lefties are hitting over .300 against Hermy, and righties are hitting less than .200? He's past the 2 tough lefties. I like where we're at.

MY GOD THE LEFT SIDE OF OUR INFIELD IS DOING AMAZING! JOE AND JUAN...Y-ES!

Come on, 3 outs before they get 3 runs, that's what we need, 3 outs before they get 3 runs. Wonderful throw and pickup by Uribe. Excellent work Juan.

QUOTE(HSC's Biggest Fan @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 09:13 PM) Is he available? I highly doubt it tonight.

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 09:12 PM) Klesko and Giles are lefties. But with Marte hurt, Ozzie may not want to tax Cotts. You're right, I didn't think about that. With all the lefties in their lineup, we should really save Cotts's arm. He'll be needed either tomorrow or Sunday. Good thinking. I'm gonna hope we see Dustin now to start the 9th based on your point.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 09:11 PM) To other teams or us? I think Marte is still probably more valuable to other teams, but I'd have to say Cotts is more valuable to us. If Marte is on...he's still the best lefty in our pen. He's been off lately while Cotts has been on. If Marte can turn it around, he's still the most valuable lefty. He gets his control back, and still nobody can hit him.

QUOTE(ReinsdorfSucks @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 09:09 PM) does he move into the rotation next year? Hate to say it, but we've got enough starters. 4 out of 5 are signed next year, and Garland is arbitration eligible (and hopefully will get a "Cy Young Winner" contract). And if we need a backup? BMac will have a full year at AAA under his belt. I'm still trying to figure out how to get him into the starting 5 next year. Left handed arm out of the Pen? Very necessary. Cotts can do wonders there. Especially the way he's throwing now.

I told you Cotts would have it.

QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 09:06 PM) Becasue cotts is on fire! I'd say its because half of the Padres team is made up of lefties. I would rather have Cotts in to face Klesko than Politte. Klesko finally has figured out how to get the ball out of Petco.

QUOTE(HSC's Biggest Fan @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 09:04 PM) Maybe look fastball only and lay off the offspeed stuff. Timo, what a god. Timo got that hit because the hit & run worked. 2nd baseman was moving towards the bag, opened that hole up. Otherwise it was a weak grounder. (smart baseball btw). Although, I will give him credit for at least hitting the ball fair. That's better than the other 3 guys could do.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 09:04 PM) Well, thankfully we got the gift run. I really hope Ozzie doesn't stick with Cotts too long here if he doesn't have it. Cotts will have it.

Man, after that wild pitch, our guys haven't looked that good with the bats this inning.

QUOTE(rudylaw @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 06:48 PM) That would be so bad ass if he did. Old man Madux went deep today. Of course that was Wrigley not Petco. "Chicks Dig the Long Ball"

QUOTE(rudylaw @ Jun 10, 2005 -> 06:44 PM) I got $10 on Garland going yard. He's 1 for 10 in his career. So perhaps that means he's due. After seeing Politte and El Duque getting hits...wierder things have happened.

Lineups have been posted for the Sox/Padres game For the AL Central Leading White Sox: LF Podsednik 2B Iguchi CF Rowand 1B Konerko RF Dye C Pierzynski SS Uribe 3B Crede P Garland And for the Padres: 3B Burroughs 2B Blum LF Klesko CF Giles 1B Nevin C Hernandez RF Fick SS Greene P Williams Late lineup today. Seems like someone was tardy with theirs.

I saw this reported by a bundle of bloggers yesteday but actually didn't believe it...some other people have looked into it and yeah, It actually happened. Ok, so Fox News employs a madman. Classy. Really really classy.
