Milkman delivers

So, who's going to start the 9th? Garland has 103 pitches, so I would assume he's out. But, Ozzie is the manager, so that assumption is worthless.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 12, 2005 -> 09:19 PM) Palmeiro always kills Garland. Maybe someday Garland will stop throwing him the high change-up? I took a look at the Orioles' board earlier, and they were all moaning about Palmeiro being bad this year. As soon as I read it, I knew that he'd hurt us.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 12, 2005 -> 09:07 PM) I don't even know if I can explain how f***ing ridiculous Juany's arm is. What did he do? I do know that he's got a great arm, that's for sure.

AJP!

QUOTE(fathom @ May 12, 2005 -> 08:28 PM) 28 pitches for Chen according to yahoo. Ah, gameday took a while to add in the pitches from PK's at-bat. My bad.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan13 @ May 12, 2005 -> 08:26 PM) A 30ish pitch inning for Chen. 22, actually. But it was like 40 if you count pickoff attempts.

Wow! Aaron really worked for that walk. Wow...

Chen paying close attention to Pods. Make him pay...

QUOTE(Jabroni @ May 12, 2005 -> 12:00 PM) I agree. It seemed like Pena had been using that kid Andy Sisco for 2 innings of relief work every damn day. He was pulling a Dusty on his young reliever. Not to mention pulling Greinke in that game where he had us beat.

QUOTE(JimH @ May 12, 2005 -> 11:17 AM) Regardless of the other issues, it would make sense he'd want a breather. I suspect he won't resurface until next year and would further guess it will be with an organization other than KC. Oh, I'm pretty positive he'll never touch KC again. Who would want to stay there, honestly? There's no hope for that team to even come close to contending for years and years.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ May 12, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) He needs to be bench coach. He would actually make a damn good manager, he just didn't have players in KC. Doesn't seem like they want to keep their good players either minus Mike Sweeney. Hopefully Tony could knock some sense into Ozzie if he does come in here, like brining in your 3 worst relievers into a tie ballgame. On the Royals' message board, they're saying that Pena is having some legal problems, he had an affair, he's not coming back to baseball until at least 2006, etc.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ May 12, 2005 -> 11:06 AM) The model of the week on www.sportsterminal.com...I had to change the other one since it offended some people... The old one was really good, but this one is damn good, too.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ May 12, 2005 -> 08:30 AM) The only other job I have seen to where you can be this wrong this often is to me a weatherman...or woman..and still be getting paid for it. Who's the new girl in your avatar?

QUOTE(SoIL @ May 11, 2005 -> 05:21 PM) According to the official White Sox web site, Podsednik was scratched from the lineup with an upset stomach. I don't think Ozzie's to blame for that. Nobody knew that at the time.

That's our Dye.

QUOTE(Da Sox @ May 11, 2005 -> 04:48 PM) Does Ozzie's use of the bullpen piss anyone else off but me? Even though the matchup might be tough, Poliette was in a rythm, while he brings Marte out against the 2 best hitters on the team without him seeing batters yet. 10 bucks say that if hermanson finishes this inning and gets an out in the next inning Shingo's going to close... for No reason. And that goes against his closer-by-situation mentality. That's just flat out saying that Shingo is the closer.

QUOTE(Y2HH @ May 11, 2005 -> 04:46 PM) Yea but now this slump is being threatened...again. I might've spoken too early.

I love El Duque. I think this is the second time this year that he's stepped up and prevented a slump.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 11, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) And that's why Cliff deserves the role of being our righty set-up man if Hermanson is our closer. 7 pitches for 7 strikes. It's not often that we see that from a Sox reliever.

QUOTE(fathom @ May 11, 2005 -> 04:39 PM) Another horrendous AB for everyone's favorite Does anyone not hate him? I really, really do hate that guy. Why not Anderson? Why not even Giambi? He always has a high OBP.

Was that intentional?

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 11, 2005 -> 04:34 PM) Cliff pitched great. Last year Vis threw 95-97. Now he barely hits 93. Overuse of the slider? I hope that's the reason. All of the rumors that I've heard say that the majority of steroid users were relief pitchers. And Uribe makes an out on the first pitch again.

QUOTE(T R U @ May 11, 2005 -> 04:33 PM) Man Politte is filthy this year... He looks great EDIT: damn last pitch was 98 YES! I was afraid you talked too early.

QUOTE(qwerty @ May 11, 2005 -> 04:31 PM) Fly out to right makes it 5-2 sox. Much better than a grandslam.

Anyone know how fast Fossum throws? I've seen this guy shut down the Red Sox twice in relief.
