How come they never show the jumps? They always show the conclusion of the play but never the beginning. The first second after contact means everything to the play.

Wang has our hitters chopping it right into the ground.

Erstad's defense is overrated, mmhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

His jumps are bad, mmhmmmmmmmmmmmm

His reads aren't good enough, mmhmmmmmmmmmmm

 

I love Erstad.

 

How anybody could ever bash his D is beyond me.

He covered a lot of ground there. I was telling the haters that they would be surprised if that ankle was healthy just how good he would be and since the Sox signed him I always assumed it was fine. Jason was the only other person I remember saying the same thing though I'm sure there were others. We had seen Erstad at his best since we're in California and though he's older you can see he still has a good amount of speed.

Has Erstad smiled once since being in a Sox uni? I've yet to see it, perhaps he has no teeth or just really bad breath and does not want to open his mouth. Is it possible that he's so grindy he refuses to ever show any sort of emotion during baseball season?

Oh My, how did Joe not put that ball on the concourse?

Good baserunning Mac ! Now we need a 2 out basehit to score the run . Lets go Ryan !

He's a notorious tobacco chewer. You don't smile much with that big chaw in your grill.

GP, I still refuse to believe he's a better defender than Anderson.

Wind's blowing in....good thing, as Nieves would have had a three run homer.

He's exactly what we were afraid of...

 

A low OBP hitter with little power...

 

And as Hawk continues to talk about all the great things he brings to the club, how his grinderishnessitude rubs off on those around him, maybe it's time to blame him for the incredible display of futility throughout our lineup.

You just like his long blonde hair.

YES showed the whole replay. He got a great jump.

Why do you think I own Owen Wilson's complete movie catalogue?

I don't think you even believe what you just said. You're going to blame one guy for the whole team hitting like crap ? Thats just scapegoatism at its very worst or is it best?

If you're talking about Hawk, I've no problem blaming him.

But I hope you aren't really suggesting that Erstad's been bad for this team. Bah.

Some people are never satisfied...

Juan trying to blow a bubble rather than fielding a ground ball.

Wow, that's an unacceptable effort by Uribe. I love the hustle by Jeter though.

Juan... oh Juan...

Let's see if Contreras can pitch over that error. He has better control of his forkball tonight compared to his fastball.

Jose knows Giambi is not 100% and not the Giambi of a few years ago, right?

This guy has been talking for awhile.

No, I'm just turning around the credit he gets for unquanifiable things he has zero control on right back on to him.

Stick with the forkball.

 

The infield is letting Contreras down this inning.
