Another walk...bases loaded. 1 pitch not called a strike and suddenly Contreras starts to fall apart.

Base hit under Konerko's glove...1st and 3rd, 2 outs.

First walk of the game there after the guy should have been called out on strikes. Let's hope that call doesn't wind up hurting us.

Jayson Stark fired off an answer on a Griffey question:

3 strikeouts in 4 outs for Jose.

ESPN Article

Yup, Mazzilli's out. ESPN.

Several sources are reporting that the Orioles have fired manager Lee Mazzilli after the collapse of the last month or two by that team. He's reportedly been replaced by one of the Orioles bench coaches. Probably can't hurt to try ify ou're in their shoes, I guess.

I believe Lee Mazzilli was just fired

QUOTE(knightni @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 11:26 AM) It could be the last. He'll be around for a while...he had a great start his last time out...he's just coming back off some sort of injury that cost him 04 I believe.

They got 4 in inning 1 yesterday...we got 4 in inning 1 today. Still only 1 out. We're now 2/2 with RISP today. YAY!

3 RUN HOMER FOR AROW!

Wild pitch, everett to 3rd, Paulie to 2nd...no more double play chance yet..

Our average with RISP today is infinite times what it was yesterday.

Well, here's our first chance with a runner in scoring position. Let's improve on yesterday people, PLEASE!

Base hit to right field for Hot Carl.

QUOTE(FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 10:35 AM) I'm pretty much thinking the "Bring it On!" rhetoric was not the best idea either. I really wouldn't have minded the "Dead or alive" rhetoric...had we actually, you know, meant it.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 10:20 AM) Felix Hernandez is currently pitching in Detroit. The game is not being televised on MLB Extra Innings for Comcast Digital Cable and on MLB.tv they're showing the Tiger's broadcast with a s***ty view. The Tiger's broadcast is f***ed up so they're giving you that high above the backstop spring training type view. So they're trying to keep me from seeing King Felix pitch, bastards. Hernandez is having early control problems. 2 walks, 2 hits, 1 earned run, 1 strikeout in his 1st inning. ERA currently sitting at 9.

Uh-Oh...Widger catching Contreras...this hasn't worked well in the past.

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 10:27 AM) I don't really like Flip too much, though. Carlisle is plotting his revenge against the Pistons as I type this. It could be Rick's time to shine. I love what Skiles has done as much as the next man, but God, when Detroit cut him for Brown, I was praying the Bulls would make a run at Rick as a replacement for Cartwright.

Thank God we captured those guys "Dead or alive" as we promised.

If My fiance can hold onto her job for about the next year or so, then I'm going to be driving around one of those Priuses come playoff time 06. Right now, the fundamentals of the oil market are really suggesting that it won't be long before Toyota has to increase that 25% hybrid mark. There's also another growing feature of hybrid engines - many companies (ford, Honda) are starting to use them to satisfy the ever-growing American desire for more power in engines - you can take the battery power and use it to save on gas, or you can use it to build a more powerful vehicle than you could with gas alone.

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 10:24 AM) I'm just curious who still writes checks to pay for like groceries, clothes, etc....and why. I can't figure out why someone at Jewel would be writing a check, instead of using a debit card. Please almighty check writers, enlighten me!!! I write a check for exactly 1 purpose - to pay my rent each month. Everything else goes on a credit card, because I get between 1-5 % cash back every month for purchases. That puts a couple extra hundred dollars in my pocket per year.
