The worst thing about playing Willie is that with Pudge behind the plate, it's not like we're going to be running much anyways. I simply hate the "Ike Turner" slap lineup in the game when we're playing good hitting teams.

they said gooch was having trouble seeing out of his right eye?

 

Well that could go a long way towards explaining his last couple weeks of play.

Is it me or does the crowd look sparse? Odd for a half-price night for a 1st place team.

a.) Bears game. Sad, I know, that more people would rather go to a preseason football game, but this town loves it's football.

 

b.) I doubt everyone has their minds on sports right now...

i was going to comment as well. it's like night and day from what it has been, but keith's explanation is probably right.

 

The wind seems to have been taken out of everyone's sails.

2 innings, 15 pitches.

 

who is this guy?

The Count looking very sharp so far.

incredibly so. Have you ever seen him in so many 0-1, 0-2 counts?

According to Hawk, Iguchi was late showing up to the game tonight. That's why he's not playing.

Well....that sucked. That was the one place we couldn't afford for Ozuna to hit the ball.

Good thing we didn't play for one run

He should have been bunting..

c.) School is back in session. -- How many college age kids are there here who would have been at the game tonight. How many families are staying at home because the kids have school the next day....

2 on nobody out, Sox fail to score. Hawk calls it a bad break...

 

Um batting 3 players with a combined 0 HRs back-to-back-to-back is not a bad break Hawk. It's called stupidity.

Well....that sucked.  That was the one place we couldn't afford for Ozuna to hit the ball.

 

at some point the breaks are gonna have to start going our way

Good thing we didn't play for one run

 

I liked the move....but Ozuna just has to try and avoid hitting it up the middle. Nothing you can do about that though. However, it would be nice of Hawk to just shut up. He keeps saying how bad of a break that was. How was that a bad break Hawk? How about the fact we only had two guys on because Pods got lucky on a bad bunt?

at some point the breaks are gonna have to start going our way

 

Yep. They went our way for 3 months. YOu expect them to be bad for awhile and they have been.

Having Harris, Pods, and Ozuna bat consecutively reminds me of a softball team built on bunting the ball.

Just once, I would like to see Ozzie give Dye a shot at batting 3rd. It just seems like Everett's swing has gotten way too long.

Score/inning/etc?

I have mentioned that a few months ago. I even emailed Ozzie about it. He obviously ignored it.

Count 36 pitches through 4? Solid.
