The evil empire demands that you have to be winning to get a Standing O

He's not Cy Young. That's why. 

 

EDIT: To Blum's post on no standin O for Chacon.

Don't worry I'm either smoking crack or not paying attention because I did not see Chacon had left already.

That the way Pods, take one for the team.

Embree- Mr. "Victory Auto Wreckers" is up.

Cotts hasn't allowed a run in 15 outings. I'd put him, Cliff, and Hermanson into the game, and if the Yankees can win the game, I tip my cap to them.

i wouldn't JC the way he is going.  i might even let him go 9.  there really isn't any stress on his arm tonight.  he hasn't used the fastball that much.

In a 1-0 game against the Yankees, with (hopefully) the heart of their order coming up in the 9th? If anyone but Dustin pitches that inning... :puke

Yeah, he's similar to Cy Young.  Top of everyone's wish list.

:banghead

No, he wasn't being sarcastic.  I had a feeling he wasn't.

 

Uh. Yes I was. I was just making fun of the people who say Jose sucks after every mediocre to bad outing. He's been one of the rocks for us of late. Boston. Toronto. NYY. Incredibly pitched games when we needed them. All coming off of losses.

How about 9...against this bullpen...you think we can pull off 9?

 

Do you mean "we" as in us posting or the team?

 

I think the averages would be about the same with the way the offense has been lately...

Um hello umpires....

 

 

Sox player got hit after warning....

Anyone else fearful of Uribe getting picked off or doubled up here?

Gotta love Embree especially with Gooch up.

:banghead

We need to get at least two this inning...don't blow this chance!

Um hello umpires....

Sox player got hit after warning....

Was it completely obviously a mistake?

Smallball! ™

 

... Wait -- no! Smartball ™!

I'm thinking the samething...he should be tossed...

yes - let's have the only guy who can hit bunt..

 

that makes sense..

I spose.. but you knew that the umps would ignore it.

Sorry about that then. I didn't mean for it to come across as being rude.

Not a huge fan of Tad ever bunting, I know this is a good situation for it but he's so good moving guys over by swinging the bat.

Tad will get the man to 3rd. I know not how, but he will.

It has to be deemed intentional. It was not intentional.

Uribe is such a dumb base runner. Why would you risk distracting Iguchi?

Look he shortened up the swing on a 0-2 count!!!!!

Remember when Embree was on the White Sox? God did he suck.
