QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 6, 2011 -> 10:05 PM) Contact play, it wasn't his fault, its the chance you take. The Mariners' announcers are definitely blaming it on Beckham, FWIW. We'll have to wait until after the game and maybe we'll get an explanation from Guillen or Gordon.

Funny shot of AJ next to Beckham and smirking at him. Very helpful, Pierzynski.

Beckham giveth, Beckham taketh away. Of course.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 6, 2011 -> 10:00 PM) He can't hit or field. We have the worst 3B situation in the game right now. Even if you combined Vizquel, Teahen and Morel into ONE player, they would still be a below average amalgamation.

Oh My Lady Gaga!!! Beckham turned on an inside fastball. Maybe the timing mechanism and clearing his hips is working. Don't fu-- up this sacrifice, Pierre. Jesus.

Idiotic "Punto" headfirst dive never works, only slows you down. But it's grinderish and inspirational.

Thornton in the 7th? This is a new one.

He's happily married, fat, has a good sense of humor and will make $15 million off JR. Why would he be upset with that? Not a bad life.

At least Rios is starting to hit some balls with authority now. Unfortunately, Dunn, AJ, Teahen and Beckham also suck.

Quentin showing why it wouldn't have been a good idea to give him the 'ol Bobby Jenks non-tender treatment.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2011 -> 09:46 PM) Hawk is so pissed at Ozzie right now. It must be nice to have a job and not worry about getting fired, even if you're doing a worse job than Osama Bin Laden's courier. He at least was the only one to get shots off. The White Sox have bullets and they're not even being chambered or fired.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 6, 2011 -> 09:46 PM) That terrible decision is working out just fine. It's called moving runners into scoring position which can in itself chance a batter's approach as he faces an RBI situation. Of course it matters not to Sox hitters who this season fail whether runners are in scoring position or not. It was a very good decision to bunt. Ummm, no. How would AJ possibly throw out Ichiro stealing? I think even Pierre could probably have at least a 75% success ratio against AJ and our pitching staff.

What did I say? Jesus, Ozzie. Cust doesn't have a homer all season long yet. Smoak's only hitting .362 with a 1.146 OPS the last 17 games. Scouting, White Sox???

Good bit of hitting by Bradley. Not a normal swing on a 2-0 count. Can't fault Humber for a bat pitch at all.

Uh-oh. Just don't let Smoak beat you. Intentional walk would be better than going at him.

Well, there's no way anyone could have hit that pitch to Paulie, even though it was hanging a little high. Unless you were just sitting on it, but it would have been total luck to guess that pitch in that location. Felix is getting a ton of pitches that are well off the corners for strikes.

That's the second person Alexei's hurt this week. One with a foul ball, this time with a bat off the cameraman's head.

Beckham ugliness continues. Well, he hit one ball sort of hard foul. At least Pierre hasn't given up on this season yet. Sizzles (for him) his 2nd double of the season down the RF line.

How many former 1st round draft picks (pitchers) from other organizations have we recycled through our system? It's got to be in the high teens or twenties under Cooper and KW. Just some guesses.... Aardsma Sisco MacDougal Thornton Danks Floyd Humber Peavy Van Benschoten Marquez Garland

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 6, 2011 -> 09:15 PM) Rios average down to .181. Hey, that's 20 points better than where it was previously. Progress!!! Dunn's the one who MIGHT need a lot of help to get to .180 at the rate things are going.

Humber just humbled Smoak? Humber just Smoaked His Sausage? No, that's not going to work. Smoak Smoked by a Humble Humber? Phil "The Cannibal" Humber Ate Smoak Alive? Teahen put on about 15-20 pounds it seems this offseason...probably no coincidence he got married and wasn't expecting to play much this year. Oooops.

Humber=Loaiza 2003 Cy Young here we come. Now all he needs is to add the cutter. Masterson's given up 7 hits already but no runs so far to the Halos, top of the 5th. 1-0 Indians.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2011 -> 09:03 PM) Too early to put Santos in? Nice job by Dunn and PK. Nope, time to showcase Pena for our first salary dump. He might actually go 2-3 innings without a run allowed as long as he pitches around Smoak. And the Indians are winning again over the Angels. Amazing this mystery team's gotten off to a better start than any of their loaded teams from 1994-2002.

Wow, it's a miracle. We have a lead. It took a massive brain cramp from the M's to help them along, though. Harrelson's probably happy with the get em on, get em over, get em in theory working out for once this season. Nice to see Carlos is thinking of going up the middle and to the right side accidentally by pulling so much he hit a cue ball with masse.

STOP SIGN PLEASE!!! NO GO
