Pierre sucks, he should of been out. Sox catch a break there.

That was almost the first time I've ever seen the fake to 3B work

They gave Juan two extra outs there...

What do the White Sox call their upper deck seats?

 

I like the idea of the A's, having the whole thing be the "Value Deck"...wonder why the White Sox haven't cut the prices even further than they have for those seats which have traditionally been hard to get rid of.

Woah there Quentin. That was scary.

Humber can't let them back in the game in any way this inning. Not even one run.

Except for Black Jack McDowell a few times, I've never seen it work.

 

Didn't he fake to 3B once, and throw it between his legs on the ground to 1B and get an out once?

 

Nasty curveball, that was 17 consecutive games Suzuki had gone without striking out before that AB.

Empty.

Is it just me or my TV, but do all the jerseys seem to have a pink tint to them?

Damnit, that 1st curveball looked real good to me.

Jerry Lane not giving him the high strike on that curveball.

 

Ends up in a triple for DeJesus. That sucks.

Ok phil

Humber pitches over the missed strike call on DeJesus that lead to a Quentin-triple.

Didn't realize AJ had only 6 K's in 120 AB's. About the same number of walks, and very little hard contact.

 

 

Horrible AB by Dunn there.

 

Textbook display on driving a curveball into RF by Paulie. He's just become a "professional" hitter and is now so much more relaxed when dealing with adversity. I think a lot of it has to do with gaining perspective by getting married and having a family. Just a theory.

 

 

Starting to feel sorry for the Twins. Down 2-0 in the 9th, Nathan just gave up another bomb to Bautista and a hit following that. 7.30 ERA for one of the most expensive closers in all of baseball. And yet he's a decent candidate for a comeback in 2012 as that's the normal timetable after TJ Surgery. Twins will be 12-24 if they end up losing.

Aside from the occasional hr, Aj has always been best when he just makes weak contact, flipping the ball over the SS.

Apparently Phil decided to become a good pitcher at some point. I like it.

Is it just me, or does J4L seem to avoid any gamethread in which Humber pitches, for fear that Humber will continue to dominate?

We discovered the $12 jumbo ticket for the A's- and the $6 value scored us beer + peanuts for the two of us. If you buy the upper deck tickets, they have a food kiosk set up for the cheapskates- $5 menu- including the beer. I normally have much better tickets- over the dugout or diamond club- but I truly enjoyed the nosebleed view over home plate. Plus, we got free jerseys (really nice) for the freebie of the day.

 

Why can't the White Sox do this? $12 upper deck tickets, a $6 food/value option included, and then a giveaway/promotional item nearly every night???

 

Tonight, they're yellow A's beanies/knit hats for the cold weather up there.

 

They also have a number of $2 games.

Wow Sweeney.

Despite getting thrown out, Omar is really some sort of wizard or something.

Wow, very unlucky that Sweeney got that short hop. Vizquel always runs like he is going to fall over on his face. lol

Because we're middle of the pack in attendance as opposed to dead last.

Great recovery by Sweeney.

 

That's at least 2 times tonight Omar just doesn't have that extra gear (the other was a foul ball down the line he barely missed), and you can't blame it for ANY 43 or 44 year old, it's amazing he's still playing any position besides DH/1B/P.

 

That's also career hit 2811 for Vizquel. 14th all-time in games played.

 

 

McCarthy has only given up that double to Vizquel that Barton barely missed, and Beckham hit the ball hard to RF, but he really shouldn't be 4 runs down except for the walk and error on the throw when he had Pierre picked off.

Sweeney crushing some balls foul.

20th isn't much to brag about when we have a Top 5 payroll.

 

 

What's most astounding is Cleveland at 30th with 14,640 per game with the best and most exciting team in baseball....and the Rays at 29th with 16,311.

They did have 33,700 tonight in CLE, fireworks night. And 11,000 walk-up for a game last week, as well.

We also have the 2nd most expensive average tix in the league IIRC. there's a reason the sox don't try to sell the stadium out, they've made a different and valid business decision for their franchise
