Great double play there, PK saved a run w/his scoop at first.

2 straight runners allowed by Buehrle after being up 0-2 in the count. Be careful with fastballs to Ginter.

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 02:23 AM) I'm sorry, but Jermaine Dye has no business playing in this game tonight, let alone batting 5th? C'mon Ozzie.... As much as I hate it and many others, Ozzie won't make changes right now. He probably thinks his lineup is the reason we're 16-4 right now. I honestly can't say I blame him, why mess with a good thing? If we start to lose more games than we win, then he should make some changes.

Rowand's been going the other way with pitches lately, and he's staying on the ball better because of it. I have no doubt Rowand will get it going, especially as we face more lefties during the season.

Love to see 3 grounders hit off of Buehrle in the first inning.

According to EQA by position, J. Dye is the 3rd worst player in baseball this year.

I don't care if Dye was hitting the ball hard in batting practice Hawk, he shouldn't be in the lineup against a tough righty right now batting 5th

Sox have lead in every game this year now

Two reasons why A.J. likely isn't starting, besides for the toe problem: - Widger's had success catching Buehrle this year - With a day game tomorrow, we were going to have to rotate catchers anyways. Might as well let A.J. have another day of rest.

2nd career shutout. I'll answer my own question.

Is that his first career shutout?

One more Jon!

Tremendous defensive game by Uribe tonight! Really makes you laugh when you think how bad Valentin used to be on this same field.

QUOTE(chunk23 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 04:22 AM) According to Gameday, Dye struck out on a pitch square down the heart of the plate. He swung right through 2 straight pitches that couldn't be more perfect to hit.

Garland's starting the inning. No walks please.

Great f***ing swing Konerko! That was a pefect piece of hitting.

That was a ridiculous catch by Swisher there. Saved the A's a run. Hopefully it won't matter.

You think Ozzie will leave Garland in for the 9th?

Marte is warming up.

Marte should start warming up with all the A's lefties coming up.

QUOTE(Reddy @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 04:00 AM) so how many crow eaters are we gonna be hearing from????? Lets wait for the game to be over before we start patting ourselves on the back. Games are NEVER easy at Oakland.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 03:59 AM) Actually he did. When he was rounding 3rd it didn't look like he was running hard at all. Like he was running at problably 50% his speed. Thanks, didn't see that. I imagine he'll be getting the next game off then, especially with Harden on the mound. Ozuna should play 3b, and Harris play 2b tomorrow.

QUOTE(Fotop @ Apr 26, 2005 -> 03:58 AM) Timo as a defensive replacement instead of Pods? Doesn't really make much sense... Ozzie Timo>>>>>>Podsednik

Tremendous inning by Garland there. I liked the curve he threw to Kielty where he took off a lot of speed on it. Looks like he's been watching El Duque pitch.

Crede didn't look like he was too hurt running around the bases, so hopefully it's just precautionary.
