DonkeyKongerko Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Anyone else watching Sunday Night Baseball right now? Those Rangers are on the verge of sweeping the RED Sox out of Texas. Dickey has thrown 8 shutout innings and the fans are chanting "SWEEP". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Ha yeah I'm watching this. I guess this guy is even missing some joint in his elbow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxin' Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Yeah. It has been a great game from what I have seen of it. Soriano cranked one out last inning, his 100th career homer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 And.. nothing against the you or the Sawks.. but I am glad Maggs is here and Nomar is in Boston on the DL instead of here on the DL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 RA Dickey :puke what an embarrassing game thus far Hehe... I was there. Not one of the morons chanting sweep in the EIGHTH inning, though, I've seen the WHITE Sox come back a few too many times this year. And the ninth got interesting when the ump decided to start squeezing the zone just a bit. He must be from Baastan. Seriously, The Rangers with the best record in the AL!!! AND the Sox! Life is good.

YASNY Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 I saw Benoit shut out Seattle last Saturday night and now this Dickey kid today totally dominating Bahston. I thought these were the Texas No-pitching Rangers. WTF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Hey Kap, what is the difference in the Texas pitching this year? New pitching coach or something? We all knew they could hit, I had no clue that they could pitch like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Hey Kap, what is the difference in the Texas pitching this year? New pitching coach or something? We all knew they could hit, I had no clue that they could pitch like this. Orel Hershiser was brought in last year, but they got rocked last year. I think a year makes a big difference because these guys know what to expect from Hershiser - who I always thought of as a pretty cerebral pitcher. One thing that occured to me as I was watching was just the pace at which they pitch. R.A., even when he got in trouble, was working pretty quickly yesterday. I really think that makes a difference - it keeps your fielders in the game and everyone involved. Last year, when they would get in trouble they would slow way down and get all nervous, and before you know it, BLAM, big inning. I think there was an element to A-Rod being a "cancer" as well. The dude just brought the attention. These guys are playing well as a TEAM, aggressive, playing fundamental baseball. I think that A-Rod was always supposed to be the hero, and when he wasn't, everyone knew it. The guys this year just appear to be themselves, pitchers included... pressure's off, so to speak, to have to perform for PayRod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
