Could have been strike 3
Nice double play. Hawk was ready to go apes*** on Uribe if he made a bad throw. If Iguchi gets on this inning, I love our chances of putting up a few runs.

I'm shocked by the Pods hate on the gamethread tonight. I thought he was pretty much untouchable around here.
Only for one single poster.
We need a double play. We can only expect Garland to keep their bats quiet for so long.

Anderson works a walk. Too bad we have our true hero hitting after him.
At least he won't leadoff next inning.
The Astros had bases loaded, no outs, and Marshall had no control. Ausmus swung at a 3-0 pitch, and hit into a 5-2-3 DP. The next batter then swung at a 3-0 pitch, and popped up. You have to love the NL!
Is Crede hitless since he returned from his injury?

I forgot about the Mavs. Remember when the Sox cancelled a game real early because of weather, and it turned out to be fine at gametime, and many thought the real reason was because the Bulls had a playoff game that night and there wouldn't be more than a couple of thousand at the Sox game?
That's nothing compared to the Cal Ripken/Kevin Costner conspiracy.

Heh, I assure you NONE of us expected TB to actually win one of those games.
I expected Tampa to win at least one game in that series.

The Tigers are beating Cy McClung? Did we end up winning that game or losing it?
We won it.

Gives me the opportunity to tell everyone just how much I really love Pods..
what an amazing LFer and leadoff hitter.
If he would have been given an error on that play, I think he would have been tied for 2nd most on the team.

Would El Caballo have made that play?
El Ozuna could have made that play. It hit his wrist on the way up.
QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 14, 2006 -> 12:38 AM)
To compound the misplay, he took his sweet ass time going after the ball.
He took his sweet ass time that whole play. If he busts his ass back to the fence, it's a much easier play.
Does it look like Garland's purposely throwing a few mph slower tonight? He seems to be trying to throw his sinker for more control.

Kameron is usually off, so we better hit him tonight.
Not really
Here's a tough question....do we root for the Yanks or Indians tonight? The Indians are always dangerous, but the Yanks could very well be in the wild card hunt.
Garland kept the ball down for the 2-3 hitters, and got out of the inning. There's a huge echo when the ball's hit tonight.
FWIW, it looks like we'll get Ponson, Mulder, and Marquis vs the Cards next week.
