The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

so how does this work now?
do the orioles just fly back here on an off day and they finish the game from where it was suspended?

What makes the most sense is that they pick this up on June 23....
We are here and off…they play Sunday in Milwaukee and then Tuesday at Wrigley…so will they really pick this up in the of the 12th or just play it all over????

From some quick reading I may have answered my own question....
since the Sox had the last AB….the game would start over. That June 23rd date makes perfect sense…

How many runners did we leave in scoring position?

Agreed
That number was way too high. Seems like Baltimore plays well against us. Look at the ratio of blown saves Jenks has against them

Mark it on your calendars.
Monday, June 23rd would be the best date to finish this seeing as the Sox are in town on that weekend, and the Orioles start a series at Wrigley on Tuesday, so they will in town as well.

Anyone hear what Hershiser had to say about what he used to do with video?
Really cool idea. He charted the movement of the batter’s eyes in their stride. If they moved vertically, then he figured they’d be vulnerable to high fastball-low curve and if they moved towards him, he could change speeds. To measure, he’d dot their eyes on the screen with a magic marker.

wow. a .754 OPS.
that’s butt ugly. definitely need to be complaining about that offense. i mean, gosh, we wouldn’t want to have an above average offense, would we. and we wouldn’t want to do something like take a look at BABIP and realize that the batting average doesn’t really reflect how the sox are really hitting. nope, let’s focus on the most imperfect and least useful offensive rate stat we have. i’m also really happy the sox are at a nice fielding percentage of .986 – that defense must be doing great!

i think we’ve all had quite enough of your introduction of meaningful numbers on this site. we should get back to what really matters…batting average, wins for starting pitchers (and their hurt feelings when the bullpen blows a lead) , and concern over how ozzie’s squeeze call is going to cause a mutiny in the clubhouse.

if i played major league baseball,
i’d bat .300, slug .500, get on base at a .400 clip. i’d be a great defensive player who ran into walls and got my jersey dirty and could throw a ball from center to home plate on the fly with unerring accuracy. i’d show emotion – but not too much emotion. i’d steal 30 bases a year. i’d routinely go first to third on singles. i’d improve my stats by 25% in clutch situations. i’d bunt for a hit or to sacrifice. i’d be able to hit the ball to all fields. i’d be muscular and have 4% body fat. my stats throughout spring training, regular season, postseason, winter ball, and beer league would be amazingly consistent.
but SSH would find something to rag on me for.

to be continued in baltimore?
The game has been suspended, but no date for its continuation has been set. The White Sox and Orioles do not play again until August 25 in Baltimore. The Orioles have no more trips to Chicago scheduled, so the game will likely be made up before the start of the August 25 game with the Orioles batting in the top of the 12th.Aubrey Huff won’t be there. He was ejected from this game.
The last suspended game in the majors involved the Orioles. That was this game that started on June 28, 2007 and finished on July 27, 2007. Since that was an intradivisional game between the Yankees and Orioles, there was no need for a change of venue.

Am I reading the rules correctly?
They can use any player that gets called up even if that player is replacing someone who was already used in the game? That would definitely be advantage O’s since they tore through most of their bullpen tonight and the rosters will be expanded by the time we play them in August.
Though I guess MacDougal will be back on the team by then. That evens things out.

So many opportunities
Can’t believe that was called with the weather conditions (field was a disaster at that point), the infield playing in, and a player just starting to get some play time and not known for bunting.
There were plenty of other ops + Javy was still strong, why go to Jenks with his issues with the O’s at that point.

I saw the replay ESPN News – it was high and little inside but in a squeeze situation it was doable – he should put the bat to it.

The blame can’t be all BAs. How many runners did they leave in scoring position?
Of course BA had a chance earlier with runners in scoring position and didn’t come through.
Swisher and Quenton are making Kenny Williams look pretty good though.
