Don't worry, none of us think driving drunk is cool either Beastly.

Some of those are really solid

You don't mess with Mike or you get this

That only works for people who actually go to bed around that time...

With all this zone rating stat crap going on, the only thing i can think of is that we should just simulate these games on my PS2, i can enter in all these statistics and play it out, because reality and randomness of different plays doesn't matter whatsoever, nor does baseball strategy. Baseball is apparently just purely a game of statistics. Please, don't ever coach my son in little league.

Santana = God

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 11, 2005 -> 11:05 AM) Uribe would not have been able to make that play. There is no way he can get to that ball, get up, and still have enough time and/or arm to get the out at 1B. Crede was doing exactly what he should have done, and that was try to keep the ball on the IF. 3rd basemen are taught to take any play they can, especially ones where momentum is taking them towards 1B, and SSs away from there. It just makes sense that the player moving towards 3rd would be the first priority to try to make that play, even if he just knocked the ball down in the IF. He may have been able to. No, i'm not saying Crede should have let the ball go, third baseman are supposed to get everything they can because their momentum is moving them towards first for a throw, compared to a SS at least. Outside of that, Uribe may have been able to throw him out (let's say crede dives and misses or something). Remember..it was Lecroy running, who is slower than a snail stuck in mud. It might have been pretty damn close, because Lecroy just can't run at all.

Update from chicagosports.com:

I can still remember the Chicago Stadium rocking "Dino Sucks, Dino Sucks"

I didn't have the chance to see it this weekend, but was planning on seeing it sometime this week. Anyone seen it? Good? Bad?

They are so bad, i think this needed it's own thread. They look like 16 inch softball uniforms that were made by someone's mother. Who comes up with this crap? http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/photos?photo...ameId=250410126

...And walker deserved the start after his performance last year

Yes they have Hairston, but this would still be a big blow.

Calm down guys, Just let our boys of summer prove it out there. For someone who reads IB all the time, that's friggin hilarious. OH MY GOD DID YOU HEAR WHAT VITALE JUST SAID?!?!?! BILAS SAID ACC SOMETHING SOMETHING AGAIN!!!!!

Crede may have made a 'bad' play, but it didn't cost the Sox the game. Santana just beat the hell out of us, plain and simple. That was the story of the game to me. As far as the Crede play goes, unless Uribe was calling him off, not much you can blame him for there. If he knows he's there/hears Uribe calling, he needs to let that ball go because Lecroy is very, very slow/injured. Can't really excuse Mark for going 3-0 to Hunter and having to throw him cookies to try to get him out. Game. Set. Match. That's all Santana needed. As far as Joe goes, personally i'm giving him til June X to make a call on him. Making conclusions after 6 games is just idiotic. It's a new season, so i give everyone the benefit of the doubt until they prove otherwise.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 10, 2005 -> 11:10 AM) I found the additional notes to be interesting. If Buehrle would have had to throw in place of Garland last night, Cotts or Politte would have started tonight. Gotta love "bullpen days"... :puke

Classy quote, but every time i think of Hunter i can't help but think about his quote after 'the' game last year... "From the hood playa"

Garland really pitched well tonight. He was forcing ground balls left and right, and many of the hits he gave up were weak sauce. He really threw the ball well. Even the HR he gave up...the 2 pitches before that were excellent and Stewart just fought em off. Good job Jon, especially forcing the DP. 5 games, 5 good starts. Gotta love it.

Hey man that's a helluva job on that video...real good stuff.

Anything but another "bullpen day"...

What a terrible way to end that game.

Talked to my friend in Florida, and the sox game on direct tv was not available because it was on WCIU.

I will do a few Duque knee kicks at the bar tonight in honor of the great performance
