QUOTE(Melissa1334 @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 12:30 AM) i think chavez will win just because its a reputation thing. like no matter how good or bad jonez,hunter,ichiro,rolen do, they always win it Or maybe it's cause those guys actually are the best fielders?

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 12:29 AM) Mr. first half, Ballpark in Arlington, against RHP goes deep. Before anyone makes any dumbass "another HR givenup by Javy" post, it's only his 6th homer given up this year. Yep, he's been great keeping the ball in the park. The only reason I predicted that it won't be the only homer is just due to the ball flying out of this park.

It's about time their 3-4 did some damage. That won't be the only homer they hit tonight.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 15, 2006 -> 12:21 AM) Just to let everyone know Joe Crede will be winning a gold glove this year. That's right he's actually going to get enough national attention to warrant winning the award. You can take my word for it especially seeing how I'm just about the most pessimistic person around these parts when it comes to players winning awards. HEY PIERZYNSKI EAT THIS, b****! I predict he won't. I could care less about awards....I want him to get it going again offensively. His bat speed is real slow right now.

Good inning for Vazquez. It would be nice to get contributions from the bottom of our order tonight.

I fully expected this lineup tonight. Dye sucked vs Padilla last game, and he was due for a day off. We face a lefty tomorrow, so Anderson will be back in CF, and Ozuna will be in LF. Stay hot Pods

Ozzie showed great timing with Garland. His pitches were up in the zone in the 6th inning. Something I criticize Ozzie on is that he's not proactive enough getting guys up in the pen. I'll applaud him for getting Cotts ready at the start of that inning.

NASTY! There's not a hitter in baseball who hits that. Great pitched game tonight. One of the best all-around pitched games of the season.

No walks!!!

Here comes the hook

QUOTE(knightni @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 02:45 AM) Run(s) When it comes to the bottom of our order, you can't get greedy.

Not a good start. QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 02:44 AM) Not a good start. Damn, Dye is so f***ing slow. I'm telling you, that extra run we couldn't get in during the 8th inning really hurts.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 02:39 AM) I almost want to see Mac here for 3, give Bob the day off... If you do that, he's probably done for the rest of this series. Hopefully he's be able to go on Thursday if needed.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 02:37 AM) Yep, he's gonna have a tough go round against the best of the Rangers. Wow, Guchi just missed a solo shot. It would be nice to get an insurance run courtesy of Thome.

Great game Pods!

Great job by Cotts/McCarthy. If Jenks can't save the game with at least a 3 run lead, you tip your cap to the Rangers. He'll have their 3-4-5 next inning.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 02:24 AM) Now its up to Anderson. Uribe really jammed himself. What a f***ing terrible pitch to swing at. Either way I'm not pinch hitting here cause I want the defense out there. Plus I got faith in BA. Salami time. I disagree. You try to get an extra run or two on the board. Cintron's a suitable replacement at SS...you could do a lot worse defensively. Lets hope we don't regret that inning.

Uribe going to bat for himself? I'd love for him to prove me wrong, but I'd rather see a ph here. Yuck...that was ugly. I have no clue why he was allowed to bat there.

Lets get this run in. I wouldn't mind seeing Gload or Cintron bat for Uribe.

Anyone else think DJ was referring to Hairston Jr., and not Mahay?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 02:10 AM) If McCarthy could become consistant in the bullpen, maybe if he consistantly pitched, it would be huge for this team. The one weakness I've seen from him is his control. He hasn't walked a lot of people, but he gets behind in the count. His changeup also seems to be consistently higher in the zone than it was during his great stretch last year.

Good inning for McCarthy, who really didn't have anything that inning.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 02:07 AM) I know that place is a bandbox, but everytime I see a game in Texas, it seems like you would have to hit one 600 ft. to hit it out of there. Except when McCarthy made his first start there last season, and every flyball was gone. Left field at Cleveland has that type of feeling for me.

McCarthy's suckering them into the 2-0 pitch, and they're swinging for the fences.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 02:05 AM) As far as I'm concerned, aside from today, these should be his last two starts (in Texas) for a bit, because I would have Konerko in at 1b throughout interleague play (when we are the visiting team). However, my guess is Thome will get 1 start and I'm sure he'll PH in every game. From what I can gather, he's going to start on Sunday against the Reds and Arroyo.
