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.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 03:52 AM) Come on PK... He hit the ball in the air there, not much more you can ask for him there. Kotsay did a great job of calling off Swisher. Time for Buehrle to get us back in the dugout quickly.

Wow, what a great throw by Kotsay. Iguchi is awfully slow though.

Hit a sac fly PK! Please nothing on the ground.

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 03:48 AM) My take is, either it's right or wrong. Froemming gets zero benefit of the doubt on the whole close play issue because he was completely out of position. No excuses, I realize they are human but give yourself the best possible chance to make the correct call. He didn't and that's why I'm pissed. EXACTLY! All you can ask from the umpire is that they put themselves in the best possible position to make the call. Umps are going to make the wrong call sometimes, but that's a lot better than blowing the call because you're too lazy to move into position to get a good view.

There you go Iguchi. Shut up DJ until the play is over, you never know who's listening in the clubhouse.

Drive the ball Iguchi. Infield in, so have to hit it hard somewhere.

Yabu in to face Iguchi.

Interesting how Ozzie is sending the runners on 1st and 2nd when the count is 3-2 this game. It's worked perfectly two times already.

Great AB by Podsednik there. Some huge runners in scoring position now.

Base hit, ball four Scotty

The worst thing about the call at home is that the particular play with a catcher blocking home, and the player not touching the plate is almost always called out now days.

Nice time for Podsednik to have a quality AB. Looks like Rincon is coming in to face him.

Wow, thank god he scored, but why would you send him there with no outs? Cora got awfully lucky there.

Ah, gotta love the fat f***ing umpire out of position for a huge play in the game.

Let me get this straight: we pitch around Kendall to get to Chavez, yet we pitch to Kielty instead of pitching around him to get to Hatteberg?

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Apr 27, 2005 -> 03:28 AM) A) Jermaine screwed this inning up in a major way B ) He was out at the plate Buehrle's throwing meatballs up there. He's been saved by the DP ball this game, but he's had nothing on his pitches all game. Everything's been up.

He was out
