Yes, Harris is in at SS. Ozuna must still be in pain.

Interesting decision by Ozzie to bring in a lefty to face Kielty. Kielty is rakes lefty pitching, but sucks vs rhp.

QUOTE(whitesox91403 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 04:23 AM) f*** You Ozzie, I'm tired of your stupid decisions Ozzie was playing this like we had a 5 run lead. The funny thing is that everyone in the world could see that Buehrle was finished besides for the one person who gets paid to make those decisions.

Why not bring in Marte to face Chavez before?

Great job Ozzie. It's the 7th inning, pull a pitcher after they allow 2 straight hits.

Bring in Marte!

With 2 righties starting the inning, maybe should have let a reliever start the inning. Byrnes is 5 times a better hitter vs lefties.

Damn, Oakland making some big plays last few innings to save a few runs.

Take two Scotty

QUOTE(valponick @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 04:15 AM) Nah, I think Willie at SS, he showed some promise there during ST and Iguchi has never played anything but 2B. Thanks buddy, I totally forgot about that.

QUOTE(valponick @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 04:14 AM) Anyone else think Buehrle should drill the first hitter next inning right in the ass???? No! Not unless the Sox can score a few more runs at least.

Willie to 2nd base, and Iguchi to SS if Ozuna is hurt?

QUOTE(valponick @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 04:11 AM) It's Major League Baseball man, 162 game season, people are going to get hurt unless you field a squad of 25 Cal Ripken Jr's. I'm well aware of that. In the last few days, we had Contreras with the hammy, and even El Duque came up lame after a plate at first plate. A.J. has the toe problem after being hit, and Iguchi, Crede, and Uribe have been banged up all in this series. However, I'm very grateful that there's been nothing too serious yet. All you have to do is look to the Scrubs to see how quickly season ending injuries can occur......AND NOW OZUNA IS BANGED UP!

QUOTE(valponick @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 04:10 AM) Relax man, Juan will be fine. If you have ever pulled your groin before, or even just tweaked it you'll find that it tends to feel MUCH worse than it usually is. It's a sensitive muscle but also heals quickly if you take care of it. I've also seen plenty of players that go on the DL with groin strains. Of course, this isn't a Nomar-like situation (hopefully). However, groin strains can be an injury that takes a few weeks to heal completely.

QUOTE(ottawa_sox @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 04:08 AM) Sorry for being so blind. What is ridiculous? Every game, it seems 2 or 3 players come up lame.

Who's our starting SS if Uribe goes on the DL? Ozuna? I don't think we have anyone in the minors who's ready to contribute.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 04:05 AM) You can't predict injuries. I agree, but the stuff I read was that he totally blew off his rehab from some of his injuries, and it became common knowledge among the front office and players. I'm sure there's probably some truth to it, and some of the same "politics" that we've seen with every Sox player who's left town.

This is getting ridiculous. Will Crede be able to play if need be tonight?

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 04:01 AM) Oakland fans booing Dye for leaving due to free agency? From what I read elsewhere, they're booing Dye because of his lackluster performance with the A's after they gave him a big 3 year contract.

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 04:00 AM) Carlos was pretty good going to his right. I think he would have. Yes, but the glove being on the right hand made that catch possible for Pods.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 03:58 AM) Kotsay is really underrated, you know? No kidding, 2 years ago, I thought his career was going to be over. He really sucked at the end of his Padres career, and I thought the Padres destroyed the A's in the deal for Ramon Hernandez. However, his back has healed it seems, and he's been a monster since about this time last season.

Very nice play by Podsednik. Now, I GUARANTEE you that Carlos Lee wouldn't have caught that.

That's an even more impressive throw by Kotsay since he didn't really have time to get any momentum behind the throw.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 03:53 AM) You are the unhappiest person ever... What the hell are you talking about? People on here have been saying for a few weeks now that Iguchi is slow. We expected a guy who had 40 steals in a year in Japan, but he's been slower than almost everyone imagined. Just a comment on him, not like I was making fun of his mother or something.

Terrible play by Ozuna there.
