G&T

QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 10:21 AM) I noticed that Alomar set up much farther off of the corners than our other catchers do. A few times, Buehrle hit the mit, and it was still a ball. I like that approach, as it gets Buehrle to pitch away from the heart of the plate. Yeah, Hawk talked about this earlier this year with Garland and how AJ should move off the plate inside to make him throw it there. AJ and Widge never really did it, but Sandy did. At least last night.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 10:21 AM) I just don't agree. I doubt more than 1 game was turned significantly due to Mack's presence in CF, and he has won us at least one game I know of. So I don't see the huge impact. Now Pods, who plays every day, his bad D worries me more than Mack's once every 3-4 days in CF. The fact that Ozuna has been struggling with the bat isn't helping anything either. But if Anderson keeps improving his offense we won't have to worry about center.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 09:26 AM) KW didn't give him any money. The Yankees did. We just took on almost all of it, though. Oh, and Alomar has looked pretty good, even though it's such a small sample. His arm actually doens't look bad at all, and he's a bit more mobile than I expected. He can really contribute if it's only once every 5 days. Last night it looked like Alomar moved around a lot to give Mark a better target. AJ and Widge don't move much, so I'm wondering if that helped Mark just throw to the glove.

QUOTE(Shamrock4Life @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 01:07 AM) Ok since this is the first Vazquez topic I found, Some interesting comments by Scott Merkin in his mlb.com wrap of the game tonight (8/1): Does this mean we will see the stratedgy used with Vazquez as well??? Is Ozzie reading soxtalk.com?? Or am I just being to optimistic? Yes there will be a new strategy, the problem is that you want a starter to go 6 innings and Vaz is excellent after 5. It's such a strange situation but I think Vaz has to get the early hook from now on.

Yes.

Oh Bobby, please stop that.

BA gets his reward.

Sweet nectar of the Gods.

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 10:14 PM) it worked tho At causing seizures or rallying?

QUOTE(Sonik22 @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 10:13 PM) I miss the rally seizure That kinda made me sick, but it was funny.

I love that they boo AJ for no reason.

Joe Clutch!

Balk...I've never seen a team balk more than the Royals

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 10:06 PM) Just tuned in, how did Mark look? Like a pitcher, as opposed to garbage.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 10:05 PM) Back to the Hogan thing. If you want a laugh, you have to read: http://www.progressiveboink.com/archive/brookehogan.htm I thought it finally ended...ugh.

Great job by Riske.

Riske finds the corner right there.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 09:55 PM) The Royals always play the Sox better then any other team in the Central. ALWAYS. It's like the D-Rays and Yankees.

Thats the best he's ever pitched.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 1, 2006 -> 09:50 PM) Buck has a good arm Buck isn't catching, Phillips is.

How bout a wild pitch or two...crap.

PK sent for x-rays...awesome

Thank you Riske.

C'mon Matt, get outta this.

Sandy with the RBI base hit.
