Milkman delivers

Lead off walk, not looking good.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 09:16 PM) 1-7 with RISP tonight. Eh, Cabrera couldn't have done much more with that.

Hall is really bad.

Do we have anyone available to bench Alexei for a few days?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 09:06 PM) Wow, good job pitching over the error! He must've learned that from Buehrle.

Richard pitches over it.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 09:02 PM) You were around when I said I almost got a job working as his assistant with the Cubs, right? Nope.

f***ing Ramirez. First he can't hit, and now he can't field.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 09:00 PM) Really, I thought he said he's a fan of both? I'm pretty sure he said he was a White Sox fan from the North side, and he said it was his rebellious stage or something.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 08:58 PM) Now that was a nice hit. Nice drive. Not trying to park it with an overswing. More of that. I missed you in chat, my bad. Doesn't look like anyone's around tonight, anyway.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 9, 2008 -> 08:45 PM) Good stuff. Twins lead 3-1. Looking at a 1 game lead after tonight, and absolutely no momentum heading into Cy Runner-Up Halladay.

Any chat crew in here? If so, why aren't you in the chat?

I watched it. Things went pretty much as anyone would guess, but the PPV was saved by Jericho winning the strap to end it.

The Patriots are apparently looking into Chris Simms.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 7, 2008 -> 04:40 PM) I'll gladly defend the guy. He has the best batter's eye on the team and those two called strikes were low and inside. What the f*** was he supposed to do with those pitches? Get a grip. I have a grip. I'm not even mad about losing, as we took 2 of 3 from a good team. But, Swisher is a jackass for not swinging at a single pitch. That is inexcusable. Maybe he should have danced around the batter's box and the umpire would have awarded him first base. I mean, the only thing better than his eye is his hilarious antics in the dugout.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 7, 2008 -> 04:53 PM) took 2 of 3 from the Angels, had the tying run is scoring position in the 9th and got f***ed on 2 strike calls to swisher. I'll take it - good series. Let's cool off toronto. Swisher f***ed himself. I can't believe anyone would defend him. Dye got f***ed, Swisher f***ed himself.

How do you not swing at one single pitch? What a f***ing cocksucking piece of s***. He should be benched tomorrow, no questions.

Swisher, you are a f***ing asshole. HE DID NOT TAKE ONE SWING.

Swing the f***ing bat.

Ramirez is worthless right now.

And now a K, saw that coming a mile away.

Dye should have walked there.

OK, that was all very scary, but Linebrink pitches out of it. Get this game!

QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 7, 2008 -> 04:33 PM) The other announcers across the league are 100% more insightful than Hawk. Another thing is when you tune into a game already in progress. With professional announcers, you'll be updated on the current situation. With Hawk, you'll hear him b**** about a pitch from 3 innings ago. Or you'll hear about Catfish Hunter.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Sep 7, 2008 -> 04:32 PM) Agreed, that was over the top. I don't understand the hate for Hawk in this forum though. I watch all the games on MLB.TV and I get to see all the announcers for all the teams and most of them are absolutely pathetic with personalities of a grapefruit...at least Hawk has some personality That's great, he has personality, but he's a terrible announcer.
