QUOTE(SpringfieldFan @ May 2, 2006 -> 11:41 AM) I have no problem resting JD - he's hurt for Hawk's sake. Now, resting Pods - that I have a problem with. I know C.C. is a lefty, but I also think resting Thome after the rough crowd yesterday smacks of girliness in the minds of the Indian faithful. Actually, what other reason could there be for resting the DH? Is the on deck circle that far away from the batter's box? Seriously, if there's one guy on this team I don't mind us coddling a bit, its Thome. The guy missed almost the whole season last year. He's been down a bit lately, we had 2 games in like 12 hours, might as well give him some time to gas back up.l

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ May 2, 2006 -> 10:44 AM) If Logan keeps pitching like he yesterday I highly doubt he's the casuality here... Even more so today. 2.1 innings thus far, 1 walk, 0 hits, 5 strikeouts against the Tribe. I'm wondering if Nelson may find himself in Thornton's spot, with Thornton going on the DL with his back problems soon. He's pitched like 1 time in 2 weeks.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ May 2, 2006 -> 11:37 AM) 5 k's in 2.1 innings for THE Boone Logan. Jeff who?

Buehrle's not gonna make 6 today. Yeesh. Terrible game.

Well, I'm gonna call this one a loss and head to the bank. Enjoy your offday folks, get your asses in gear tomorrow night.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 2, 2006 -> 10:57 AM) I am sure Konerko got the same pitches to hit without Thome in front of him. I am sure as the game progresses with mack providing protection that they will still go after Konerko. Better than having Timo there.

QUOTE(Jeckle2000 @ May 2, 2006 -> 10:45 AM) Widger causes everyone to have bad starts... Even Buherle had a bad start with Widger behind the plate... Last year the non-Cubans were pretty good with Widger, but this year it just hasn't been, and it's starting to become a genuine trend now.

Come on guys, 2 out rally time, you've got the bullpen.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ May 2, 2006 -> 10:46 AM) Odds of Brian being 0-2 real quick. Very low. He'd have to see more than 1 pitch.

Ugh, Brian, seriously, WTF?

The widge with the easy double. Yay!

And of course, Uribe sees 2 pitches.

Jason Davis in for Cleveland

QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ May 2, 2006 -> 10:29 AM) I dont know if we will get to the 6th, the indians will take their time here to delay the inevitable. Then it's Buehrle's job to make it quick. 1 down.

You do nothing there, you don't deserve a win. Man I hope Graves comes in. The good thing about that inning was that a few guys got a bunch of pitches thrown to them.

Graves is up. Yayayayay.

A single here ties the game.

Thank you for not covering first fat man!!!!

That single was pitch 80 for C.C. He threw 77 in his rehab start.

It was JD's calf that drove him out, if anyone was really wondering.

QUOTE(daa84 @ May 2, 2006 -> 10:21 AM) odds of mackowiak tying this up right here? Well, he is overdue...

2 walks this inning...Mack, take some damn pitches.

Victor Martinez's first throwout this season. Yuck. Now i'm convinced, we're losing this game.

Ok folks....if this 1/2 inning ends, the game is official. TAKE SOME f***ING PITCHES.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 2, 2006 -> 10:06 AM) Obviously he does, but you gotta wonder why this is the case. You can't throw a shutout against the best offense in the AL every time.
