Now watch, Podsednik will somehow be the most clutch hitter in our lineup.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 05:00 PM) Shocker...Rowand grounds out to CF. I wouldn't mind going crazy and giving Rowand a day off with Anderson or Borch in CF and Everett a day off with Gload or Borch DH'ing. I wish Rowand would hit a ground ball to CF.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 05:00 PM) Rowand with a groundout to short? WTF? That never happens. 5 of his last 6 at bats according to Rooney have been groundouts to short. Wow. That's amazing. How do you hit it to short every damn time?

And of course, Aaron is the first leadoff man not to get on base today.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:57 PM) What inning is it now...top of the 4th right? Yes

Well, we've had the leadoff man on each inning thus far. Ya hear me Rowand?

QUOTE(DonkeyKongerko @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:52 PM) f*** I love Frank Catalanotto. Why isn't he on our team? Because I'd get sick of spelling "Catalanotto". That's why.

50 pitches for DouglASS through 3 innings. 1/8 with RISP now. 5 runners stranded.

I guess we were due for 1 to fall somewhere.

OH. MY. f***ING. GOD. 1/7 with RISP.

QUOTE(Harry&JimmyRocked @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:45 PM) i hope no one actually believes that this team will play any different than they are right now in the playoffs. We've seen them do it before. And if we're a .260 team with RISP, then we're due for like 35 hits in a row with RISP.

AJ is 1 for his last 16.

Well, here's our chance to get ourselves up to 0/7 with RISP.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:42 PM) I didn't see the 1st inning. Did he get thrown out? Nope, stole 2nd, was stranded.

It's nice to see Pods on base again. It'd be nicer to see him grab 2nd. It'd be much nicer to see him step on the plate.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:39 PM) The Sox have to lead the league in ridiculous bunts this season. Face it while we feel sorry for ourselves with Uribes near homer, if Trammell has Pena at first, that horrible bunt by Everett is a DP. That's why the bunt is such a freaking beautiful play...it forces the defense to do everthing right. Surprisingly often, they can't.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:38 PM) You mean you can't put your tail between your legs and cry? Too late.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:36 PM) Well, we're losing. We keep trying to play smallball, and the Tigers are just playing long ball. Pena should always be thrown a fork ball when he has two strikes. We haven't done very well playing longball either.

We're up to 3 runners stranded. Come on guys...if you try we can be in double figures before it starts raining!

Runners at 2nd and 3rd without a hit. Gift baserunners. Shoulda been gift runs. And what do we do with them? We're now 0/5 with RISP.

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Sep 28, 2005 -> 04:27 PM) I'm calling it now: 5-6-3 Is that a double or triple play you're calling?

Fascinating.

The dreaded leadoff walk. Dreaded of course by our offense, not by the pitcher opposing us.

0-0 Cleveland and Tampa in the bottom of the 2nd.
