And Beckham gets picked off.

Damn it Gordon!

beckham with a hit here. maybe starting to turn it around? He crushed one yesterday but it died in the air thanks to the weather.

There were a lot of hard hit balls that just didn't go anywhere. The one that Morneau hit that Rios got to should have been a home run as well as Beckham's hit.

 

 

boo.

When things are going badly...

And Alexei immediately follows it up with a sharp single.

Jeez, would have been nice to have someone on base for Alexei there.

On a side note...just out of curiosity how does Pavano get an ER on the double steal/error?

Alexei starting to hit.

Pierre was safe, bad call.

That looked like a terrible call.

Ozzieball resulted in a pickle.

I'd make a joke about him not remembering out to run the bases BUT

 

1) that would be lame

 

2) He's been walking a lot.

Do Hudson and Pierre not like each other? I know they were teammates last year, and it seems 's like Hudson's been saying some stuff to Pierre the last 2 games. Can't tell if it's friendly or not.

Pierre was safe

REplay confirms that that was a terrible call.

Sure didn't look friendly last night.

Let's get another double play.

Four pitch walk...oye.

Come on John. Attack the zone.

Danks can't find the zone.

Falls behind 3-0, then works over Thome.

Young doubles.

 

Time for gritty Danks to make an appearance.

The rule is...it counts as an earned run if it would have scored even without the error and the rest of the inning proceeded the same way. Pierre would have been at 3rd and scored on Konerko's hit without the error. Thus, it became an earned run. If the inning had ended with no more hits, it would have been unearned.
