Come on Bobby...Get himi right here...don't make Ozzie think of using another lefty... YES!!!!

3 pitches by Marte, 2 outs. All were strikes.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 07:33 PM) I will eat my words and say great job Marte!! Good call Ozzie...and listen to Hawk eat his words also. That was why I was just shutting my mouth and praying. AND IT WORKED! Come on Bobby, let's see them in the 10th.

Marte Exits, Jenks in. Good Job Damaso!!! Been a while since I've said that.

2 quick outs!!!!!

OUT #1!!!!!

STRIKE 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 07:30 PM) Some might swings by our hitters that inning. I can't believe Ozzie is bringing in Marte here. I will go on the record right now saying that this is the worst move he's made all season. Not going to say a word...just going to pray. And since I'm an athiest, that's saying something.

Mauer, Jones, and Morneau are all lefties, with Lecroy sandwiched inbetween. Let's hope to God Marte's arm holds up.

Where have all the good men gone And where are all the gods? Where’s the street-wise Hercules To fight the rising odds? Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need I need a hero I'm holding out for at hero 'till the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He’s gotta be sure And it’s gotta be soon And he’s gotta be larger than life Lager than life Doo doo doo doooo Doo doo doo doooo Doo doo doo doooo Aaahhh Aaahhh Somewhere after midnight In my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach There’s someone reaching back for me Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I’m holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He’s gotta be sure And it’s gotta be soon And he’s gotta be larger than life I need a hero I'm holding out for at hero 'till the the end of the night --------- Up where the mountains meet the heavens above Out where the lightning splits the sea I could swear there is someone somewhere Watching me Through the wind and the chill and the rain And the storm and the flood I can feel his approach Like a fire in my blood I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night He’s gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light He's gotta be sure And he's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night

The White Sox have gone 9 innings without having a single leadoff man on base.

Come on Paulie...you're WAAAAY overdue.

Marte is up in the Sox bullpen...he'll probably face Mauer.

Every single person in this thread (except for the Twins fan, if he's here) should be raising a glass to Jon Garland right now.

QUOTE(joeynach @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) If Ozzie leaves John in something bad is going to happen. This has been a recurring theme this year. After a stellar perfromace, trotting them out there with 100 pitches, only bad things happen. TANKE HIM OUT! Think of it this way...If it goes 14 innings, the Twins have used up 2 pitchers, and thanks to an INCREDIBLE f***ING PERFORMANCE by Jon Garland (you guys call him Judy again before the playoffs... )...we haven't used any, so we don't have to go to Adkins like we did last time we had a marathon against these guys.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 07:21 PM) Its the lightest .360 you ever want to see. He's not going to the bench, but this guy generates very few runs. Only because he keeps getting thrown out at 2nd every damn time he's on base. He needs to get the stop sign until he's healthier.

He Gawn! Good slider from Garland. 6th strikeout.

Here comes pitch 115.

Crain and Nathan are up for the Twinkies.

Jenks is up. 2 balls to start the inning for Garland.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 07:17 PM) Iguchi swings through a hanging slider. This feels like every single Twins debacle ever! On the other hand....what would it mean for this team to win this damn game? To pull one out at the end of the season against the Twins? That alone could start an 8 game winning streak. Yes, I've been drinking.

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 07:16 PM) I could have sworn he was struggling before he got hurt. He was struggling before he went on the DL, but he was trying to play through the pain for like 2 weeks before they finally told him to sit his ass down.

f***.

And the count goes full....

QUOTE(fathom @ Sep 16, 2005 -> 07:14 PM) I think he's healthy. He's just worn down from the season, and has lost a step. It has to be more than that, th is all started when he got hurt
