Thome needs to flip that curve over the LF fence.

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:18 AM) You guys noticing that Hawk and D.J. don't say anything when a replay of a pitch is shown? Maybe they heard the criticism of their constant whining. Or maybe the Sox are winning. QUOTE(GoRowand33 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:18 AM) that could have been gone based on what giambi's looked like off of the bat Yeah, but Giambi went off the juice last year, Pods went off of it after 2004.

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:16 AM) man, anderson is horrible at the plate It's really amazing how little of an impact he's had on our offense this year.

That pitch had the entire plate. Great pitch recognition Brian.

So, if Anderson turns in to Mr. April/May again, what are we going to do?

If you think Vazquez won't start the 5th, then you don't know Ozzie.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:13 AM) That was a Haeger-esque performance. Walking three and allowing none. Haeger would throw 100 pitches in 2 innings vs this Yanks team.

For everyone wanting Cotts, I offer this suggestion. Against a guy with a great eye like Giambi, Cotts is either a walk, HBP, or homer waiting to happen.

He nutted up and made a nice pitch. Ozzie will keep him out there to start the 5th.

Good grief, he's begging to give up this lead.

What a pathetic performance by Vazquez. He's scared of the bat. If he gives up a homer here, these fans better boo his ass off the field.

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:10 AM) THAT one looked like strike. It was low.

A better pitch, but just a great eye by these Yankees hitters.

Holy cow, is he ever making a lot of mistakes with his fastball tonight.

Abreu in the 3rd spot is just awesome for the Yanks. It's too bad we didn't make a play for him by trying to unload the contracts of Garcia and Pods, and then having him replace their salary for next year. QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:06 AM) This is getting to the point where it's almost as ridiculous as that start he had at home against Cleveland earlier this year. We won that game, but I think Javy threw 110 pitches in like 5 innings and Cleveland left 15 men on base or something. Exactly what I was thinking of. Cotts came in, and Hafner hit one a mile against him.

He's getting away with a lot. Make a good pitch here!

Ha...just letting him walk into 2nd base.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:03 AM) We have passed the 75 pitch barrier. And it's 3rd time through the order.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:03 AM) A.J.'s swing against Rivera last night might be in my top 3. I actually think that besides Web Gems in franchise history, it would be funny to see the Worst Web Gems in franchise history. I'd love to see Alex Gonzalez, Brant Brown, and Leon Durham battle it out for the Cubs. Vazquez is lucky to get away with that meatball.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:02 AM) Something along the lines of "Last year, Don Cooper was the hot item. Everyone wanted to sign him, etc. This year, all the pitchers, with exception of Contreras, are all significantly worse than last year." They went on to talk about the workload and about how the pitchers just might not be the same because of the amount of work they've had. What a fascinating concept.

QUOTE(Jimbo @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:01 AM) no way that swing vs. el duque in the playoffs was by far the worst Actually, the worst swing in history was by Nick Green of the Yankees about two weeks ago at Toronto. I don't know if people saw it, but he literally swung after the catcher had the ball.

QUOTE(Felix @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 03:00 AM) The YES network realizes that Don Cooper isn't actually a god. What did they say?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Aug 11, 2006 -> 02:59 AM) Damon pops out to 3rd on one of the worst swings in the history of baseball. He made a similar pathetic out against the Sox in Game 2 of the ALDS in the 9th inning.

This guy just doesn't have "it".

You walk him here, and you better get the pen up.
