Mark Buehrle our new designated bunter.

Toby going oppo. Nice plan at the plate today against Zito.

 

Mark making a bunt look easy.

What's with these hits the other way? Stop it! Lift and pull!

It's kind of disconcerting, isn't it?

2-0 Sox.

 

Sacrifices are pretty.

Another nice sacrifice.

I've always been a Zito fan, but he's looking godawful.

America's Newest Hero to the plate with first and third, two outs.

2 out hit would be deadly.

Has any other pitcher fallen as far as Zito in recent history?

Rick Ankiel.

Bases jacked for JD.

Bases loaded. Damn, that 3-0 pitch looked enticing. Surprised CQ didn't have the green light.

JD looked a little off on that AB.

JD with a dumb AB. Should of taken until he threw a strike, instead can't check his swing for a cheap strike.

Ever notice how much JD's been a rally killer lately?

OC's had a good game so far. Dye's looked brutal this series...he actually made Zito look good. I hate seeing all these runners left in scoring position so early.

BTW, give Quentin the 3-0 green light for the next 10 years.

Ohhhh Alexei.

The most surprised people watching the game, after that inning, were the Giants TV announcers.

Cheap single. Other than that, Mark's been looking better today.

Looks to be working inside more which is a good thing.

I should not have said anything.

Finish this inning.

I'm sure plenty of people are gonna say "Its early" blah blah, but I'm sorry, this is not the same Mark Buehrle pre-2006....
