QUOTE(whitesoxin @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 06:09 PM) I was at school and working...how was his velocity?? around 88-89

Great game all around today. I loved BA's hustle on the double, too bad he will probably be benched Friday. Any more details on the Iguchi mishap?

A's take the lead 1-0 on a Payton double. They got helped out by Randy Marsh on a bad call on a stolen base. Haren is absolutely dealing.

Liriano just left in the top of the third with an injury, looked like the elbow.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 01:19 AM) Am I the only poster who likes sabremetrics and dislikes that book? I read a few chapters, and I just thought it was dull. It is a hagiography of someone who is good at his job but not all that interesting otherwise. I mean, I thought I would like it. I'd see the movie just to see if I come away with a better impression. I liked the book but I'm not a big fan of sabermetrics

Going to the bottom of the second, Liriano looking sharp. Good thing he is only going to throw 60-65 pitches. He made Frank look awful.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 12:11 AM) I can't believe we just threw him a 2-0 fastball right down the plate. Dear Bobby Jenks...please find your fastball. What was his velocity like?

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 13, 2006 -> 12:06 AM) No, the game he stunk was at the Cell. The winds were nuts that day and he had no chance basically all day. I was at that game. He looked awful. Sosa made a horrible error on a fly ball too.

QUOTE(ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:57 PM) is he really that awful in LF??? Cuz his bat would help this team so much He wouldn't be any worse than Pods.

Way to go Ross.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:54 PM) How the hell did the Twins come back from a deficit against the A's pen? Did Duchscherer or Street blow it? Or does anybody know. Joe Kennedy. Gave up 4 ER.

Just put Vlad on

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 11:31 PM) If we survive this inning Its uribe vs K rod to start off the next inning. Hopefully Cintron

A good manager like Scioscia will put his 2 best relievers in during a tie game.

We dodged a huge bullet that inning. Haeger probably pitches the 9th with Ozzie managing.

You have got to be f***ing kidding me. Give me haeger or tracey over hermanson.

Man, that's a lot funnier than I thought it would be.

I don't know why they just dont do head to head record to determine home field. If the teams are tied just do division record (AL record for the wild card).

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Sep 12, 2006 -> 08:54 AM) You don't have pitchers throw on 3 days rest. That has worked like one time in the past 5 years, being with RJ and Schilling. With a rotation this talented, there is no need. I don't care if Buehrle and Garcia have been struggling. They would start one friggin game in a 5 or 7 game series, so you can probably get atleast a decent outing out of one of the two. Save your starters' arms further from falling off and just go with the 4-man. What could work out in our favor is the possibility of getting the Tuesday-Thursday series (STL-SD got this series last year, so two AL teams will get it this year), with a day off between game 1 and 2. Only one of our pitchers would have to go on three days left. I wouldn't have many problems with Garland going on three days rest either.

YES

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Sep 11, 2006 -> 11:22 PM) Uh no you wouldnt. He is Pods with speed. he cant hit, he cant field, and he has a bad arm. So what you are saying is he's a better option than Pods

Owens in, at this point I would rather have him leading off and playing left than Pods.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 11, 2006 -> 11:07 PM) Was he warming up? I think Ozzie just likes to do it raise our blood pressure. No walks! Farmer said he was warming up. I doubt he comes in, but hearing that phrase in a tight game makes me queasy.

You have to be s***ting me, Hermanson shouldn't come into a game unless we are up by at least 5 runs.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 11, 2006 -> 11:00 PM) It would be quite lovely if Pods can find a way to get Uribe in. I'd rather see Thornton after Napoli bats. Yea, I forgot we had a couple of switch hitters coming up.
