WTF happened at the end of this game???

Perralta helps out there...

Why not take third while we are at it...

Not even close. A base hit now puts this game away.

Well, that is about a 40 foot double...

Bobby for the 9th. First pitch at 94.

I just noticed they merged MLB gameday and audio this year. Nice touch.

TCQ looked lost against the submariner. I just wish Kerry Wood was closing.

They played Gordo perfectly there.

Easy eighth... six outs to do something here guys.

Well at least Matt Thornton still rules.

Well that turned into a quick inning.

Damn it. Another Dp.

I thought Cabrera was going to throw out AJ.

In terms of tone, I stand by my previous statements. But I'll tell you two things. 1. Anyone who wants to call me biased, or that anything I've ever done in this forum as a Mod or Admin was anything other than politically fair, they can shove it. You could not possibly show me an instance of it, because it does not exist. 2. This may not be PC to say, but there is simply a reality here... that while hate and extremism clearly exists on both the left and the right, it is painfully obvious that the percentage of people on the right who choose anger and veiled insults and threats as political themes, has gone up dramatically, starting with 9/11 and amplifying with the decaying economy and Obama's election. #2 is why I pointed out what I did. Not because the post was hateful or threatening (it was not), but because it was angry and insulting TOWARDS POSTERS HERE. You think I only do that to people on the right? Ask some of the lefties on this board who I've suspended before, or PM'd, or posted to cut it out in here. Be politically biased all you'd like, just don't think for a second that my admin/mod actions have ever been anything in the vicinity of biased. I don't see this a reality at all. For some reason it is much bigger deal now. There were plenty of hateful rallies and statments involving both our President and Vice President from 2001-2009, but for some reason it was categorized as somehow deserved and OK. Maybe it was because some of the ringleaders were supposed mainstream. That same feeling filtered right through here. The amazing thing is how that tone flipped 180 degrees here, along with the shock that people would question this President in anything approaching a negative tone. Am I the only one who remember all of the "Dissent is Patriotic" bumperstickers from the previous eight years? What happened to all of that? It is totally accepted here when entire groups of the GOP are mocked. It is completely OK when jokes are made about how stupid people are in the Republican party. Yet if anything remotely the other way happens, panties get wadded about as quick as Scott Linebrink entering a game. You don't think so, look at the response to the Obama throwing out the first pitch thread reaction. Did we see anyone upset about the exact samething when it was Bush, or when it was Cheney, getting booed? Did anyone get suspended for any of the name calling in that thread towards the people who booed? It never even got suggested. Now don't take that as a person indictment of your work here, but it should tell you something about the bias in what is OK and what isn't at Soxtalk overall.

Nice thought, just right at Choo.

There was no chance of Konerko getting a pitch to hit in that AB.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 08:03 PM) LOL, you guys cannot be serious about this forum somehow being one-sided on the left. On the right maybe, lately, but even then I'd say the silly extremist theater crap is fairly close to even. Slight right lean lately. Look at the respective threads, their sizes, and their tones again. I have felt this way for a loooooooong time.

There is the pickoff

Just missed picking him off.

Rios covers so much ground.

Nice play by Teahen.

5 complete, tied at 3.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 7, 2010 -> 07:54 PM) Christ, he's throwing a one hitter? Really? OUtside of Konerko, everything we hit is a ground ball.

Love the death stare at Alexei from Carlos after the bat got thrown into the dugout.
