Oh, and remember, folks: Alfonso Soriano is NOT batting leadoff. He's batting first.
Umpire says Theriot pulled his foot off 2nd on a FC.
Two runners, nobody out. Theriot didn’t like the call. Apparently proximity no longer counts? haha

not when the throw pulls the player off the bag.
It was a good call

Ha, ha. Pie was nearby Sori. I wonder if he trusted him to catch it.
Sori is trying hard not to hop. Good for him!
Giving 30 outs
a game…this defense really stinks
giving what, again?
they got out of it. Stop looking for perfection, it isn’t there.

Summary
Onedec strikes again with 2 RBI single.
Ramirez return scores one.
Big Z is typical high pitch count Big Z.
Alan Trammell: Assistant (to the) Manager
Thanks for your service.
1st score: theriot single, SB, Rammy single drives in Theriot.
2nd score: DLee and Rammy walk, Dome bunts them over, Ronny drives them in
Z doesn’t have his best stuff, but he’s doing okay.

Go here and download the tvants player and install.
Then go here:

and click on the TVAnts link. On Firefox it asks you if you want to launch to app, click yes and wait for buffering.
The signal appears to be dependent on who is providing. Tonight, the signal provided appears to be MLB.TV. You have to put up with the Chinese ads but the signal I’m watching right now isn’t horrible. It’s about 3-5 minutes behind.

5 AB. Double.
Couple more ABs and he’ll hit for the cycle! But let’s hope that’s not necessary.

I bet Wood is looking back saying, “boy, I wonder where I was 10 years ago. Too bad I don’t remember any of it and no one is around to remind me. Oh how the memory slips as the seconds tick by…”

"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
oh wow i just remembered how pathetic that was
and whats even worse was that baker defended it
If you have a guy that CAN bunt...
...you should do it every so often to keep defenses honest against you and open up some holes in the infield. With nobody on ahead of you, it’s not a bad idea.
SACRIFICE bunting is often a tool of evil, but bunting for a base hit is a powerful weapon when used sparingly.
Agreed.

Every so often Ortiz bunts against that absurd wishbone shift...
...that teams put on him. Any lefty slugger that sees that shift with any sort of frequency should consider it. It’s smart baseball.
True,
especially the bit about sac bunts. I hate sac bunts with a passion that will never die.
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
The sacrifice can be the correct choice...
...if you have a speedier guy that can get some singles/reach on errors out of it. But mostly its value is when one run wins you the game – not could, not might, but DOES.
I just hate giving away outs.

They're getting no hit,
or their pitcher is tossing a no-no?

Wow - WCIU just cut away from a commercial in order to get back to the game
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
of course it was a Sox promotional commercial, so probably no money lost...

Great play by Cabrera,
but for a guy who’s supposed to be a speed merchant, Gomez didn’t seem to get down the line too quickly.

He's been hitting like his dad lately,
so he decided to switch it up. He was on the radio today talking about it.

he changed from the banana colored chin scrub?
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
no, that's what I'm talking about.
I don’t watch the White Sox. Ever. Except this is a history game, if the pitcher makes it, so…
these announcers are TERRIBLE.

Barry!
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
Bonds!
CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!
(Now, do I really want Barry Bonds? Not so much. But I want him a heck of a lot more than I want Brian Giles or Junior Griffey, and he only costs money.)
wow...you think Wrigley is a circus now..
..that would be nuts. Not sure how that would go over in the clubhose
Felix Pie must play everyday!
no problem
Cubs would just convert the Batters Eye (that bar/restaurant area behind center field) into Barry’s own personal clubhouse.
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Hawk
LOVES Joe Crede. It’s almost a little creepy.
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
figuratively or sexually?
2008 Cubs: Why Beat A Team in Regulation, when you can beat them in extras?

Sox have been up a long time in the bottom of the 8th...
Ozzie must be going through hell sitting in the dugout and not being able to say anything
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Abreu takes a called strike three - ballgame! Indians 5 - Yankees 3
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Well, here's hoping I'm not suffering
through Hawk and DJ for nothing.
"I've always felt that starting pitching is the most important part of the rotation." - Joe Morgan, Sunday Night Baseball 8-12-07
at this point, I'm definitely rooting for Gavin to get it...
...but if he doesn’t, then I hope it’s on a controversial call, just to hear Hawk pop a vein in his forehead on the air…
Dagumbit!
Lou Brown: "My kinda team, Charlie, my kinda team..."
Former Cub Brendan Harris
at the dish.
