QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Sep 10, 2010 -> 08:42 PM) Can anyone tell me where Hawk is and how long has he be gone? There was a link earlier in the thread, Hawk had a death in the family.

There's the Sox Josh Fields.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 10, 2010 -> 08:25 PM) 60%...assuming we just go quietly into the offseason. I'm really starting to lean that way. I'm just not sure if it would a Paxson situation though. I'm not sure why I think this, but I get the impression Hahn would run this team very differently.

Fathom, since this is a quiet game thread; percentage odds that Hahn is named GM in the off-season and he gets a chance to reshape this mess heading into 2011?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 10, 2010 -> 08:18 PM) Either Joe West and his crew are the smartest umpires on the planet....or they're a bunch of fat c'suckers with a vendetta. I'm suspecting Hawk is gonna call in and they'll patch him in to the broadcast to get his say.

QUOTE (Cali @ Sep 10, 2010 -> 08:17 PM) are these real balks or Joe West balks? I didn't see the first one, but this 2nd one was called by the plate umpire.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 7, 2010 -> 07:15 PM) Agreed completely, if Kotsay wasn't a mediocre defensive player, that inning never happens. Of course, pitching Harrell in a meaningful game is a recipe for disaster. 5th starter is now a huge concern going forward. Is Orlando Hernandez available? 2005 Powers Activate!

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 6, 2010 -> 02:35 PM) Damn, not even close. I'm not sure why he would try to bunt on Inge. He's very quick at coming in on the ball.

Now we Texas to pull one out.

Nice win. Thankfully we got Sale and Matt fresh for Game 2.

Yes! Game !

That was an adventure, but 2 out!

1 out.

98 on the gun? I don't know about that.

Lead off single, here we go.

Here we go. 2 run lead for Bobby.

What the hell is with this crap?

1st and 3rd with 1 out for Gordon.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 4, 2010 -> 02:45 PM) We could be facing a LLWS team, and it would still be scary. Great inning for Santos! Bobby is so touch and go I never know how to feel about him.

What was that? Jones swinging like it's Randy Johnson in his prime.

I'm guessing Bobby in the 9th, and I'm not sure if I like that or not. I guess now that you have got past Beltre and Oritz it should be ok.

Inning over. Nice job Santos.

Ortiz goes down! 2 out.

Santos in. Nice job to get the first out.

Nice job! Out of the inning. Manny batting!
