3 pitches 2 outs

We need to make Johan work these first couple of innings...

why is carl in the lineup right handed? why not just put a blank spot on the lineup card and forfeit the abs

He's much better from the right side. Though that doesn't matter against Johan.

Carl grounds out to third. Pretty easy inning for Santana

yeah, I just looked it up. Surprising.

I'd rather have Borchard batting 3rd today than Carl.

Interesting that he was guarding the line.

He didnt throw a ball that inning!!!

too bad the sox didn't start anderson, borchard and gload. Give somebody else a whack at Santana.

What was that an 8 pitch inning for Santana? That's not gonna cut it...

 

2 to Pablo?

1 to Iguchi?

5 to Everett? (Am I right, I don't get the game on TV out here)

KC has runners on first and second, no outs. Bottom 1.

I dunno. It's a tough situation to be in. Chances are you are going to get a good pitch to hit on the first pitch, cause he throws strikes. IF you try to wait on him and work him, he will K you on a change.

Bases loaded 0 out for KC

I agree, I think we've tried being aggressive and being patient on Santana already. It's not like we have any formula for success.

That is true, but with the way we have hit Santana, I don't see what we have to lose......because we never hit him anyway when we swing early in the count...we just gotta find a way to win tonight.

Stairs hits into a DP...1-0 KC

KC only gets 1

stairs grounds into DP, KC 1-0

What we're going to have to do is get a fast leadoff man on. Take a chance to steal, bunt him over, sac fly him in, and win 1-0.

Hawk, "Alot of you did miss that game last night unfortunately."

 

I just found that funny.

Konerko pops out leading off the 2nd

I'd call that a fly out.

 

Santana on pace for 36 pitch complete game shutout.
