DP!

Why didn't he move to get a better angle?

 

And isn't it a dead give away when the fielder is still trying to tag him all the way till hes on the base?

 

If there was a better angle he would have taken it. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, as I probably would have made the same call.

 

You're struggling for position, you see Joe Crede stealing a base, the ball beats him, you call him out. It happens.

 

In other news, Buehrle is a champ. Two great innings.

an ump has a split second to decide where to move, and most of the time its just instinct. saying "why didnt he move to get a better angle" is, most of the time, naive. now granted every once and a while there really is a situation where the ump just didnt move at all but for the most part they're all trying to be in position.

On a better note, that was a pretty DP by uribe. Perfect fundamentals

Watch out.

Uribe is definitely a big steal by KW from the Rockies, he is becoming one of my favorite sox to watch.

He was safe.

 

Yes, I know, but Crede took an ugly hop before he even stepped on 2nd base. If he wants to try and steal a base he needs to know when to slide on time.

in a month + frank will be back... big time watch out

 

if this offense comes together we'll be golden.

the sox must have finally bought an alarm clock.

A Row's getting into a groove.

What's incredible is we have been able to win (and win quite often) during those slumps.

 

That amazes me. That's the kind of stuff that needs to happen if you want to win the division.

 

As for Kenny's aqusition of Uribe, I think both parties walked away happy. The Rockies have their starting two-bagger in Miles and we aquiried the shortstop of the future. I think Kenny may have gotten the better of the deal, but the Rockies didn't get fleeced.

Dye K's

 

so much for waking up...

DJ and Donn Pall also settling into a rhythm.

 

Rowand was running there.

I bet Colorado is enamored with Miles' sub .290 OBP

For the most part, I agree with him.

 

There is some certain talent down there. What do you think Jim, from what you've seen in person, which of the Sox big-name minor leaguers will contribute consistantly to a big-league club?

 

From the looks of it, McCarthy, Anderson, Fields, and Sweeny (to a lesser degree) really seem primed for ML careers.

Pierzynski worked the count and saw a lot of pitches ... base hit to RF.

 

1st and 3rd now.

AJ with a nice basehit. Rowand moves to 3rd.

how bout Dye's .248 obp?

 

that kind of thing wont last all season. Miles is a good player and will/has been doing well for colorado

Man, AJ really worked for that hit. Runners on the corners, 1 out.

 

Is there a player on this team that anyone doesn't like? Well, besides maybe Timo...

Dayum, ARow tested Rios and won

Sac fly for Crede, 4-0 White Sox. Pierzynski also tags and goes to 2nd.
