after I typed I saw the extra b in red, but then I saw it before the b, bs, and left it!

Very nice play by Uribe, but he was safe, NTL.

So,
We are apparently very well matched against the Orioles. That can be thought of as either a good thing or a bad thing…

Steve Stone's great
“With Adam Jones, you have to be really careful with the fastball.” And then he doubles first pitch.

Let's see if the O's no-hit defensive SS
can do what our no-hit defensive SS can’t do.

Fahey hit a slow roller to short
and with the field conditions, OC just couldn’t play it to first. But Jones took a wide swing around third, and Cabrera got it to Crede who applied the tag.

Other than Thome, his team quit on him in the second half of 06.
In 07 his middle reliefers and hitters sucked. But i do think a manager affects player confidence and probably 10-15 close games.

No, its just in the latter part of 06 they had a great chance
to beat Detroit at the time at home. Thome responded, others did’nt much of anything. Its harsh i know to say they quit. But when the opportunity was there they hardly put up a fight.
by SoxfaninAZ on Apr 28, 2008 7:56 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
Don't get me wrong, i think Konerko's and Dye are class acts. I just get frustrated , not seeing
a more potent attack from the middle of the lineup. They had a good start, I just don’t want to see them fall into some old 07 patterns.

That is just ridiculous. Does Ozzie realize that a deep fly or a hit would win the game? There was only 1 out. What is our % of wining the game with 1 out and a runner on 3rd?

Ozzie should have realized Brian wasn't going to get anything...
to hit. That call was unnecessary. They were going to walk him and try to get the DP. If anything, he should have called it with Uribe who would have better pitches for that.
by Los Soxos on Apr 28, 2008 6:20 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
BA was actually very lucky to get that pitch to bunt....if you are a gambling man...and obviously
Ozzie is…then you would have expected something away there…because they don’t care about the walk…Uribe was on deck.

So if Anderson K's, the worst that can happen is that Uribe is up with 2 outs...
With a suicide squeeze play where Quentin is running home regardless of what happens at the plate, the worst outcome is a double play if he misses the bunt.
My God, Ozzie is mentally retarded.

Postgame
I’m really curious how Ozzie is going to justify that call. “I thought a low-percentage attempt at a squeeze by a batter who can’t bunt was a better option than just giving him a chance to put the ball in play?”

Ozzie is managing a team that's plays other than the way he prefers. Its a station to station team, that thrives off the long ball.
Ozzie wants to be more creative, like other teams do. KW did’nt build that kind of team. And Ozzie and Chicago just haveto live with it.

Do you remember when it looked like the White Sox would win this game, but then Ozzie took out the clothes hanger and tried his best to abort the game.

Total Spoiler
But last night I caught a sweet foreshadowing when Carcetti goes to the Zorzi the veteran political reporter from the Sun with the story about the postponement of the academy classes (to save money in the budget). He makes an inside joke about how “the new city editor (Gus!) wants a piece on reforming the liquor board”—but of course the vets know thats impossible so Carcetti and Zorzi just chuckle at Gus’ (and the Mayors’) expense.
