Wow. I didn't think that would get out.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 14, 2009 -> 08:22 PM) Weird chemistry between Dye and Rios on that fly ball. I just signed on to make that comment. Seems like Dye called Rios off and took it. If I understand correctly it's ALWAYS the CF's call.

Seems to me that this game thread is picking up right where Wednesday/Thursday's thread left off. I like that.

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Aug 13, 2009 -> 09:06 PM) I hope he finishes here-then stays on as a coach My thoughts, exactly.

For the worst player there is really no contest. Crawl back to third base.

For some reason, the in-game audio of a guy, after oversliding 2nd and being tagged, saying, "... And your gonna call that?!" cmes t mind. Don't know why.

I love watching AJ play the game.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 11:08 PM) Pods. Trying to contribute. Really is a funny board tonight.

1-3 in extra innings isn't good, is it?

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 10:08 PM) Right. From Lexei's hands to Mark's balls. Does Mark get a vote?

Hey, did that Hawk guy used to play baseball? (At least no batting glove reference.)

Sac fly deep to center... Ichiro scores from 2nd.

LOL... again.

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 09:27 PM) Distance? With accuracy, velocity IS distance.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 12, 2009 -> 09:25 PM) LOL -- I was thinking the same thing. Let's see, best arm in baseball "as far as making a club sandwich." There, that's different. A guy who can really lay out those coldcuts.Nice. Truly LOL.

Ok. Hawk says Ichiro has the best arm in baseball "as far as velocity & accuracy." What else is there?

QUOTE (nastymasty21 @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 10:24 PM) Danks needs to come out for the 9th. Hes dealing I agree wholeheatedly.

QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 10:20 PM) In all our faces. Yep.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 10:05 PM) - Konerko will strike out on a 3-2 slider that's a foot off the plate. He will then shake his head back to the dugout as Stoney talks about how Aardsma didn't use to have confidence in that pitch - AJP will hit a deep fly to Ichiro in right field. Hawk will yell stretch 5 times on a ball that lands 10 feet in front of the warning track. Hawk will then talk about how Griffey Jr. told him the ball doesn't travel well here, and that he was one of the most exciting players he's ever watched. - Quentin will get hit by a fastball, and Hawk will freak out that Aardsma should be tossed and that something needs to be done about this. They will cut to Ozzie in the dugout who is chewing his gum and looks like he's thinking of how excited he'll be to see Hineybird with the Tribune in a few weeks. - Alexei will foul off two fastballs from Aardsma, and then he'll K on a slider 2 feet off the plate. Perfect.

Hah! Stoney says that could be a big play in the game. Is he watching the same thing we are?

QUOTE (GordoTheGreat @ Aug 11, 2009 -> 09:25 PM) Yeah, the dugout. Nice call.

Read the thread today about KW talking about "ruffled feathers?" It was a nice post. It does seem KW recognizes the warm bucket of spit that is this team right now.

Body language horrible. Heads down. Nobody seems to be having fun. Walking slowly off & (worse) on the field. C'mon! I know 162 games is a marathon, but it's still a kids' game for which they're (mostly) paid millions to be professionals. Quit draggin' out there!

Need to really shake things up. Ozzie rant at an ump. Ozzie spout off to press. Take advantage of Rios' arrival and sit JD for 2 instead of one. Move CQ up in order. Something to defibrillate this team. It's dead emotionally.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Aug 10, 2009 -> 10:41 PM) The scarier stat is their record when trailing after 6 innings... Yes?
