ah, another game thread, another echo chamber!
couple of things:
1. Cuban Missile in the 2 hole? I like it IF the OC is on base. Otherwise not so much.
2. I don’t wear team or player apparel, mostly I think it’s stupid. But: if forced to, my jersey would be Fisk or Frank. I’m old , as you know, and those 2 would be my favorite players of all time (Sox).
We shall reach greater and greater platitudes of achievment.
Laffey's a command and control lefty
That doesn’t seem like a good combo for Alexei no matter the base situation…
AIM: SouthSideCheat
you will see unexpected patience tonight
He won’t swing at anything soft, looking dead red. especially knowing Juan is ready.

no Q!?
what’s the matter with you?
The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.
Prediction: Sox score early and often.
and make this a Laffer.

no, not at all. just noticed the double standard yesterday due its proximity to the nba draft presence in a thread.

Alexie at #2
I don’t get. If Ozzie was going to fuck around, why not put Swish up in that slot.

It's been a cold spring
in the North East. Of course, when you have snow on the ground for aproximately 24 hours in winter you don’t complain very much. It was a mild winter.
Here's Pete and Repeat
(Did you forget, oh Hoary One, you posted this already?)
;)
I took the "under".
just seeing how much you've drunk
this was only a test.

Tap water tonight
OT – Rays made mention on the cover of this week’s SI. Kiss o’ death for their season.
I took the "under".
speaking of Rays...
did you ever consider taking your daughter for a weekend of baseball? Just the 2 of you, quality time, baseball shared, etc.? She’ll never forget it.

I think he's referring to my earlier post that I might wait

What, do you think Toonder’s a priest?
I took the "under".

It's a 2 hour drive
but that is a decent idea. I’m taking the old man 6/1.
It’s great being a member of The Sandwich Generation.

I used to take mine, at 3&4 to Appleton
for the weekend to see the Sox A club. They knew Karko long before he was brought up. Just a fun time, dad and daughters. And ignore Toonder!

though my wife just asked if I was still drinking...
What’s up with that?

We are really lucky this game is tied.
The Sox have done squat against Laffey since the first, and Buehrle is all over the place.
Joist
I imagine the same could be posted at the Tribe site about them.
We shall reach greater and greater platitudes of achievment.
The good news is
We’ve got a significant bullpen advantage, so if this game stays tied in the late innings, I like our chances.
Joist
The only problem is
We need to drive up Laffeys pitch count and get him out of there. Wedge knows his pen is crap, and he wont flush Laffey until he has to. So its time for some patience, and to drive the pitch count up.

As I didn't see the explosion in the 6th
last night it was hysterical reading the posts from the game this morning. And little does joist learn from only 24 hours ago.
Oh ye of little faith. I’m starting to buy in – Ozzie’s making moves that are working (like ‘05), timely hitting, good enough D, great pitching. Sounds good to me.
Give it another inning or two. As you’ve mentioned – we’re tied.
I took the "under".
You'll know it's '05 again
when Cabrera drives in a run with 2 outs. Katy bar the door if that ever happens.
I took the "under".
no, but he can play 2nd``

according to gameday, toby still gets an assist. weird.

I didn't see the play
but its rare for an E on a CS, no? Usually just on missing the catch and runner advances.
By the way
Cabrera is batting .128/.143/.179 w/RISP.
Joist
BA would've had that one!!
oh. Swish did too. Never mind.

Does anyone know why Comcast Sportnet
sometimes does the magic mirror routine? Picture becomes very large and I have to switch stations. I know its not just my tv because I saw it happen in a bar.
does anyone know....
if JD could have gone to first on that at bat after the wild pitch? i know first base was occupied but didnt know if he could be on first because the other runner moved up
you are correct. doesn't matter whether runner was in motion or whatever. if he's on first when the pitch is thrown, the batter can't reach on a dropped 3rd strike.

by Toonderstrook on May 22, 2008 8:45 PM CDT up reply actions
Dont worry
Ozzie will take a guy like Alexei who has been hitting, and will replace him with Uribe. That should do wonders for the offense.
by southsideirish71 on May 22, 2008 8:46 PM CDT up reply actions
i dont care....
take out thome, put paulie at dh, swish at first, and BA in center….
Nice - runner on 3rd, one out, 4 and 5 hitters coming up
Whiff, whiff. Hat trick for Thomer. Nice job.
I say Quentin goes Full Metal Jacket on the old guys soon.
I took the "under".
Also, Dye didn't really strike out
The first base ump got confused by the wild pitch and rung him up, but it was clearly a check swing.
Joist
what's going on
boxscore is freezing up…

Assuming Richar gets called up
As I recall, he wasn’t assured the job even before he got hurt. My money’s on Ozzie sticking with Uribe a while longer.
Joist
I could go for a walk-off win tonight.
Haven’t seen one of those in a while.
Joist
The heart of the order
3-4-5, so far 0-8 with 5ks.
by southsideirish71 on May 22, 2008 8:51 PM CDT reply actions
Q has a hit
But it was a ground ball single, so he probably doesn’t count it as a hit. Not manly enough.
Joist
Man, feels like buehrle is gonna blow it on any given batter
but still only given up a bunt single and the double. damn walks.
well if he gave up 6-7 hits and 0-1 walks
same # of baserunners, probably another run, but i’d feel safer I think.
hold me Mark?
laffey @ 88-53 pitches
this way we won’t see their pen…
ps. MB -> 104-60

Read my mind, Wiz!
Was just about to ask about that. We need some fresh Indians bullpen blood! How about Jorge Julio? Who’s with me?
Joist
92-55 after 7...

i thought that originally....
but he wouldnt be up in the ninth….so maybe crede or jd
He *is* pissed that Q! is now the object of everyone's mancrush.
Though if it gets back around to him I think they’ll already have scored.
somebody post the muttonchops pic

i’m checking his gamelog, and he rarely exceeds 1 inning per outing, is liney historically less effective for longer durations?

Q: What's the difference between CQ and Jesus?
A: CQ doesn’t mind being tested.
Never trust a big butt and a smile.

What an offense we'll have
when Thome, Konerko, Cabrera, Swisher join Quentin, AJ , Hall and Dye.
