So why does Ozzie pull Cotts when a guy doubles with 1 out, but doesn't pull Marte when a guy singles with no outs? Luis coming in.

And this game is tied. Thanks Damaso.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 01:46 PM) Scotty gets thrown out. He needs to get a day off... Didn't he just get 2 days off in a row last week?

Man, it's like Scottie has cement shoes lately.

Base hit for Scottie P! Yay!

Schoeneweis is up for Torotno.

Yet another bullet dodged. Wow, 3 walks that inning...the Jays have stranded 11 this game. It's like the reverse of yesterday.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 01:32 PM) PK could win a gold glove there too IMO. But I still would feel more comfortable with PK there. And I think the org feels the same way as I do. PK is reliable on the receiving end of throws, but he won't win a gold glove simply because he doesn't have much range over there. For AL 1st baseman with as many games played as him, he has one of the lowest total numbers of attempts - he just doesn't get to enough balls. Why the Hell do we keep walking Zaun?

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) Can we please split up the Cubans, it's killing our BP Except of course El Duque went 7 yesterday.

QUOTE(CYGarland @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 01:19 PM) Gload is your DH, this is a no brainer. He can give PK a day off here and there at 1st. Why is Gload your DH and not Konerko?

Marte up in the bullpen.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 01:12 PM) Guys, what's the deal with Carl? I just saw him go down, is he out of the game already? This could be bad news. He's the DH, so we won't know until the lineup cycles through again. I'll bet we have a Timo sighting no matter what in the 7th or 8th inning when Everett's spot comes back up if we still have a lead, so I'm not sure I'd read too much into it until we get a full report.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 01:10 PM) Mark my words. If Carl Everett needs a DL trip, Anderson WILL NOT be the call up. The one move they could make is to 60 day DL Frank to open up a spot, but it doesn't seem like they want to do that, or they would have already. They may not want to do it, but if Everett gets hurt they might decide that's their best option. Who else do we have that they could call up if Everett truly is down? Borchard?

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 12:38 PM) Completely true. And hopefully by 2010 we have a clearer view of the technology for renewable hydrogen. The problem you (correctly) pointed out with hydrogen – that it takes the burning of fossil fuels to produce it – is another problem being solved currently by using a stopgap technology, that of fossil fuel reformers. Electrolysis of water is obviously the way to go, versus splitting hydrogen off of fossil fuel hydrocarbons via reformer technology. But currently it still takes fossil fuel to produce the electricity to split water. You're right. The heart of the problem in arriving at a pure hydrogen economy is that the hydrogen needs to be derived frim purely renewabe resources and thet includes generating the electricity to split water. By 2010 hopefully we've got a plan for meeting the challenge. With the current administration running US Energy policy until 2008...not a chance.

This seems really early to be using Politte.

Ground out to Konerko ends the inning...Contreras remains eligibile for the win, and I believe either Cotts or Adkins will be getting the 6th.

Wild Pitch, tying run moves to 3rd.

Here comes pitch #100 for Jose.

Falls behind Zaun 3-0. Now 3-1. The 6,7,and 8 hitters for the blue jays have not made a single out.

LEadoff double...tying run at 2nd.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) Hopefully the 25% number is not overly optimistic. By 2010, hopefully hybrid technology will be viewed as the stopgap green technology and we are by then actually beginning to see a hydrogen vehicle fleet. A hydrogen vehicle fleet basically does nothing yet... In order to make a hydrogen vehicle fleet work, you need a source for the hydrogen. Right now, the only way to get hydrogen is by burning fossil fuels. And thanks to that annoying 2nd law of thermodynamics, you always lose a lot of energy when you add in the extra step of processing the fuel into hydrogen. Hydrogen vehicles are only practical environmentally or economically if you can come up with a renewable source of energy capable of supplying that much hydrogen. Without that, it simply chews up even more fossil fuels. Also, one of my professors here has done a significant amount of work showing that significant amounts of hydrogen would probably be lost during transportation/storage of the gas, and hydrogen could turn itself into a pretty nasty greenhouse gas if it was used on a wide scale.

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 12:02 PM) Not fair. You posted it before it happened on Comcast. :banghead Happens all the time to those of us who have to wait for the electronic signal to be processed and pass 2000 miles.

Good job with the RISP getting out without a scratch.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 11:51 AM) Beautiful. Yup, another quality game thread. Congrats on 34k.
