Olivo's best bet was to let it go foul (looked like it had that spin on it to go foul easy) Yeah, but unless the grounds crew has changed the slope of the lines this year, that ball always stays fair if it rolls onto the line. It would have had some good spin if it went foul.

The thing that irritated me the most were the two big mental errors. #1 no one covering 2nd on that straight steal. Olivo still managed to almost throw out the guy even after standing there waiting for Jose or Robbie to cover the damned base. I gotta imagine that is Jose's fault, and that he should have been covering, but I am not sure. And #2 No one covering 3rd base on the sac bunt attempt causing all of the runners to be safe. Once again it looked like it should have been Jose covering 3rd on a wheel play, but he was no where to be seen. It looked like Crede was sent in to charge the ball and try to make the play. How different could the game have been if these two simple plays had been made???

That is the sweetest lot to get into. Instant access to the Ryan.

Someone mind filling me in on what he was doing? I missed 6+ innings. Throwing Matt Ginter out of the game for "throwing" at a batter with an 0-2 count and a runner on 3rd with one out. If he wanted to put the runner on, he would have given him the walk, or just hit him with the first pitch.

Cerb, If you are planning on buying tickets at the window with a pepsi can (like i am), plan on a good wait in line if you get there after 6...i waited 15 minutes in line to get my will call tickets. And, traffic is a mess. Plus good tickets go fast when you are waiting in line for that long. Of course if you have tickets already in hand, disregard what i said I'm planning on getting there as early as possible. I might leave my house around 4'ish (I live an hour away), to beat the Skyway construction traffic. Any clue on what time the paid parking lots open? I'd hope a bit before the gates open. Lots are supposed to open two hours early, but sometimes for big crowds they do open earlier. I would call 674-1000 and ask them.

Frank Thomas

OK, now that I can respect. It sounded like the guy was holding out for money, which is completely different than gettting a once in a lifetime chance to meet your idol.

That is the exact same s*** they said about Penn St... Notre Dame would be at the top half of the big 10 no doubt, but they wouldn't dominate anything.

And you wonder why you get abused. It is the pure ignorance of a statement like this that does it. Essentially you are a dick because it gets you attention, well my answer to that is to quit b****ing when you get abused for acting like an asshole, because it is giving the attention that your pathetic self is looking for.

I love Hawks response the umpire's stupidity. "this guy doesn't understand the game of baseball"

I just noticed that their isn't a white person on this list... expanding from homophobia to racism I see...

What a jackass, what is he a Cub fan? He must think it is worth something. He should be giving him the ball and be glad to get whatever Frank gives him.

Gordon with a 3up, 3 down 8th...

JOSE DOES YARD WORK 10-9 SOX!!!

JM tried to match up lefty on lefty, and the KC leftied kicked the crap out of Schowenweis.

2nd. He made an out in the first inning.

No this is where I want to see him. Just about everyone is saying that is where he is going to have a chance to suceed. Even DJ was saying it during his last start.

It would have been nice if Frank could have hit that when he had runners on earlier, but we will take it.

Nice hustle by Alomar, forcing a throw by the KC D which turns into an error and a run scored 10-7 KC And Frank does yard work for #2000. 10-8 KC.

It is for your team, it shows them that you actually care. It was the samething in Baltimore when Crede's HR got called foul and he didn't say a word. The pitching and defense fell apart after that, and we went on a long losing streak. Notice after Ginter got thrown out what happened? The team let down, and KC pounded us. This game is over.

He was out there for about two seconds then, because JM was back in the dugout before Ginter was...

He didn't say a damned thing. Way to defend you pitcher. This is what pisses me off about Manuel more than anything. STAND UP FOR YOUR PLAYERS.

WTF??? that is s***. That ump is an idiot :fyou
