G&T

QUOTE (ChiSox35 @ May 8, 2008 -> 02:57 PM) Missed the play, did he just hit it over third? More over the ss.

Thome with a broken bat to left? Off the plate? No double plays.

I though the ump just took it in the junk, but he seems ok.

Dotel is getting a couple inches outside. Better exploit it.

Dotel with another K. 2 out.

Monroe goes down. Nice pitch by Dotel.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 8, 2008 -> 02:44 PM) Would a pitch out once every year kill us? I feel like Dotel is fully capable of throwing high and outside without being told.

Stolen base. 0-2 count.

Base hit for Cuddyer. Get the bullpen merry-go-round running.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 8, 2008 -> 02:39 PM) LOL, there's sponsors for the MLB disclaimer during broadcasts now. During the Toronto series the Toronto broadcast has a 10 second commercial after the first out of every inning.

Uribe with a 2 run shot. 3-2 Sox.

QUOTE (zenryan @ May 8, 2008 -> 03:30 PM) well we just maxed out on our hits for an inning. guess I can go make a sandwich now. Boy that sounds good. Get me one too. Thanks.

Crede with a double. Slowey pitched inside most of that AB. I don't know why. I think that's called out dumbing yourself.

Well, JD didn't miss that one. Solo shot.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 8, 2008 -> 03:19 PM) Score will be 4 -0 here in a heartbeat as the pitchers are trying ot be perfect becasue this horses*** line-up is worhtless. Quick wake up Ozeroo. Hawk and DJ were even just saying that Danks is pressing because he knows the offense is struggling. That's why Coop was out there.

Offense only has 1 hit and suddenly the pitcher starts to struggle. Danks knows how big that run was.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 8, 2008 -> 02:01 PM) The idea that I thought was that he let's guys decide how they want to approach hitting and then works with them as the back of their baseball card tells you what you need to know. I am not certain he actually works on a philosophy. Ramirez nice play, good job Danks too bad your going to be f***ed any time now by the "offense". Oh. So Fathom was serious. Somehow that rings a bell, but I don't remember him saying it. Can't say I'm happy to hear that.

Nice job by Danks, inning over.

What is Walker's hitting philosophy? And don't just say "lift and pull." I mean, we all know what Coop's pitching philosophy is and what he preaches and it filters down the organization. He says it all the time. But has Walker ever said anything about his keys to hitting or what the approach should be?

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ May 8, 2008 -> 02:39 PM) I think the Sox vetrans mind set at the plate is so messed up that they're not taking good swings at anything Yeah, it's not talent, and it's not ability. For 2 years every single pitcher in baseball has thrown nothing but off speed pitches on the outer half and for 2 years nobody in the lineup can hit it and everyone looks baffled by it. Absolutely amazing.

Dye just got a straight fastball on a tee and grounded to SS. That's awesome.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 8, 2008 -> 02:24 PM) The only way we can win, is if Danks shuts them out. Our pitching cannot give up runs at all. I really think that's what causes some of the routs like we saw last night. MB probably doesn't get lit up if he didn't feel like he had to be perfect. Maybe I'm wrong, but at some point it has to start wearing on the pitchers.

Thome K's low and away.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ May 8, 2008 -> 09:19 AM) G&T...time for you to cowboy the f*** up. I don't care if it's your first time...you have to push....HARD....and get through it. Failure is not an option. In you, I have much confidence, young padawan. Many game threads started by you, I see. Not sure why I went all Yoda there, but what the heck...May the force be with you. Was Luke ever mildly hung over when he did his training? Cuz I don't know if that's going to affect my performance. I figure that green s*** he drinks on his uncle's farm has give a bad headache, right?

I didn't see one made and I've never started one before so...
