March 12, 200323 yr I don't know if anyone's "expecting" my usual play-by-play, but if they are, it's not gonna start for a while cuz I'm on a different computer today and I'm having to download the RealOne Player (with dial-up, it takes a while ). So anyway, when I can, I'll start giving updates -- if anyone cares.
March 12, 200323 yr 1-0 Oakland (Stewart gave up a homer to someone - sorry I didn't note the name of the hitter)

First off, these announcers SUCK With that said, here's what's going on.... ---------- Sox are hitting, Top 3 - RBI double for Sandy scores Aaron Rowand to tie the game at 1...sounded SOLID - Jimenez (0-1; lineout) takes a walk on a 3-1 count...1st and 2nd - Rios (?-?; ?) hits grounder up the middle...force at 2nd, Rios beats throw to 1st...2 outs, runners on 1st and 3rd - Crede (hitting 3rd? ) lines out to end the inning Through 2 1/2, tied at 1
March 12, 200323 yr Author Bottom 3 Josh Stewart still on the hill, having given up 3 hits and 1 run through 2 IP - Mark Ellis liner one-hops the wall for a lead-off double - Groundout to Graffanino at 2nd. Runner advances to 3rd with just 1 out - Tejada HARD liner snagged by D'Angelo (not sure where he's playing if Graffy is at 2nd)! He climbed the ladder for that one! 2 down - Chavez flies to LF, Carlos makes the grab fighting the sun for the 3rd out. Lead-off double does no damage. End of 3, Good guys tied with the A's 1-1
March 12, 200323 yr Author Top 4 Following PK's lead-off go-ahead HR... - Daubach (0-1, DP) flies out to Gant in left. 1 down - Lee goes down looking (1st K for Oak pitching). 2 away - Graffanino grounds out to SS for the 3rd out. The A's are out of the inning, but not before a solo blast by Paul Konerko to lead off the inning. Through 3 1/2, 2-1 Good guys
March 12, 200323 yr Author Bottom 4 - Dye hits chopper down to Crede, who gloves and guns him out. 1 down - Durazo flies out deep to Rios in CF. Nice running catch by Armando. Very quickly 2 away in the home half of the 4th - Gant stares at strike 3. Stewart's first K of the day. VERY fast inning (7 pitches, I think). End 4, Sox up 2-1
March 12, 200323 yr - Chavez flies to LF, Carlos makes the grab fighting the sun for the 3rd out. this is an omen that 2003 is CLee's gold glove year!
March 12, 200323 yr Author Top 5 Keith Foulke warming up for the A's - Rowand (1-1; single, r) fouls out to Chavez on a 3-2 count. 1 out - Alomar (1-1; double, rbi) line drive into left field for a basehit . 1 on, 1 out White, Munoz, Porzio, and Damaso are all scheduled to pitch later in the game - Jimenez lines one to CF, Dye moves over and makes an over the shoulder catch. Sandy holds. 2 away Pitching change...Keith coming in - LOL, Sandy swipes a base on the first pitch. - I think it was Crede who grounded out to end the inning. Runner stranded at 2nd. Through 4 1/2, Sox still up 2-1
March 12, 200323 yr Author - Chavez flies to LF, Carlos makes the grab fighting the sun for the 3rd out. this is an omen that 2003 is CLee's gold glove year! Well..all kidding aside, he did make a very nice diving catch the other day on the WGN vs. the Cubs. He knows what he's doing out there sometimes.
March 12, 200323 yr - Chavez flies to LF, Carlos makes the grab fighting the sun for the 3rd out. this is an omen that 2003 is CLee's gold glove year! Well..all kidding aside, he did make a very nice diving catch the other day on the WGN vs. the Cubs. He knows what he's doing out there sometimes. Lee is definately improving. The guys been working his butt off and I think we'll see great things out of him this year.
March 12, 200323 yr - LOL, Sandy swipes a base on the first pitch. great catches by CLee, Sandy stealing bases - are you making this stuff up?
March 12, 200323 yr Author Bottom 5 Rick White in to pitch Numbers on Josh Stewart -- 4 IP, 4 hits, 1 run, 1 k, ? bb -- pretty good I'd say. Not great, but definitely workable. - Terrence Long leads off with a walk (not good) - Bouncer through the left side of the infield. Runners on 1st and 2nd, nobody down - Mark Ellis (2-2; double, HR) pops up to the right side, Paulie makes the catch in foul territory. 1 away - Ugh...3-run HR for Scott Hatteburg (sp?) on a 3-2 pitch. 4-2 bad guys. Lead off walk comes in to score (not surprising) - 3 pitch strikeout for the next guy...2 down - Chavez grounds out to end the inning. 2 hits, 1 dreaded walk, 3 runs, 0 left End of 5, 4-2 A's
March 12, 200323 yr Author Top 6 I said that Crede ended the 5th by making out..but I musta been wrong, because he just led off the 6th by taking former teammate Keith Foulke deep. 4-3 A's
March 12, 200323 yr Author Top 6 Following Crede's lead-off HR... - Konerko pops out after hitting one foul a mile long. 1 out - Daubach (0-2; DP, flyout) goes down swinging. 2 away - KABOOM for Carlos Lee. Game tied at 4. My computer is making these guys sound like R2-D2 -- is it just mine that's doing that, or is their feed f***ing up?
March 12, 200323 yr Hey Guys, if Rick White, who is not related to Todd Ritchie, makes the team, we see a lot of innings like the one he had today.
March 12, 200323 yr Thanks for the play by play coverage. Im at skul right now and no chance to hear the game. The past couple of games the bullpen has not been good, at least this is just spring training.
March 12, 200323 yr Wow, guys doing play-by-play for a spring training game? If the level of enthusiasm and excitement from everyone on these boards can't get people up for the Sox this year, nothing will. Now at least I know who the other 100 people are screaming with me in the ninth inning of a cold, rainy home game against KC in April.
March 12, 200323 yr Ding Dong.......Caballo slams one deep of that foulker Keith..... 4-4 Crede and El caballo homered off Keith, awesome and the game is tied! The sox are giving Foulke a nice warm welcome.
