QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 01:09 PM) Terrible AB by Ozuna. I think why he only faces lefties usually. Pablo's hitting .389 off of Righties this year.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 01:08 PM) Pablo just needs to make contact on his fastball....and this game's over. Fixed.

Steroids Betancourt in to take the loss again. QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 01:07 PM) Lets get this over with now. Don't like our chances if this goes further. Our defense out there is mediocre at best. If you think our bullpen has been bad, their bullpen has been a disaster.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 01:06 PM) Walk off inside-the-infield bunt time? If you could get Victor Martinez to field it and have to make the throw...

Jenks's ERA = 2.96.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 01:05 PM) Ozuna is walking off again.

1 more out and Jenks' ERA drops below 3.

Well...maybe they should have bunted.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 01:01 PM) Well we know they're bunting now. If they want to give up Blake and bring up Peralta, more power too them.

QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 12:59 PM) Well, you gambled and lost, Ozzie. Wasn't Ozzie's fault.

Ok, time for the bullpen.

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 12:29 PM) Our biggest problem in this war is not finding and exterminating terrorist scum, however, it is people like you. People who lack the will to deal with the problem. People who say that it's too tough, people who don't like any methods that dont involve flowers and candy. The war against the Islamo-fascist movement is the first war in 2 centuries that the opposition can strike our homes directly and people like you wring your hands and say we can't do it. But see, the problem with people on the other side is that they just assume that the only thing you can do to get rid of a terrorist is to kill them, and they ignore the fact that a lot of the actions you can take to get rid of terrorists, like torturing them, killing them with aerial bombs that take out 15 civilians, launching wars, etc., just wind up giving vastly more people reasons to become terrorists. In a fight against things like Al Qaeda, violence can't just be a blunt instrument, it has to be a scalpel. If you kill 10 innocents in a bombing to get 1 guy, you can create 100 terrorists, or more. If you torture 1 terrorist, you can create 10 more. The only way we're going to ever actually "Win" this fight is going to be through finding a way to balance those 2 parts. Killing a guy like Zarqawi with minimal collateral damage? Good move. Rounding up 1000 Sunnis and holding them without charges? Bad move. Bombing that kills a terrorist but also kills 10 civilians? The terrorist better be Bin Laden.

Mark stays in. Can't say it's a terrible decision, especially getting towards the latter 1/2 of their order. I just hope Ozzie keeps the leash short.

Steroids Betancourt is warming again. QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 12:52 PM) double steal? Not with AJ.

Do you think they'd give Podsednik 2nd if he ran?

Everyone who asked why Pods didn't pinch run...

Come on Mack, let's get Mark the win!

Can Crede pinch hit for Uribe, Cintron moves to short? Pods up. Go Go White Sox playing.

AJ 0/2 as a pinch hitter this year. QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 12:45 PM) Well it was bad luck but also you have to give Belliard credit as much as I hate to do so, he made a good play. Yeah, but the only reason he even had a play was that he was already moving towards 2nd because of the moving runner. Unbelieveably bad luck.

QUOTE(JimH @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 12:43 PM) One could question why Guillen sent the runner there. I understand he may be trying to avoid the DP. Gload does have moderate speed, and it's pretty unlikely Martinez would be able to throw him out. It should have stopped the DP but didn't, but on a double he scores, and a single he's guaranteed on 3rd.

AJ...

We get 1 break with the runner, and they get it right back.

QUOTE(Bhay99 @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 12:39 PM) lol....gload instead of pods? With Dye up, you're probably not stealing even if Pods comes in.

QUOTE(chimpy2121 @ Jun 10, 2006 -> 12:38 PM) Pinch runner!!! This is why Gload is employed.
