West Coast Swing contin: Game 147 Preview

Jon "The Ace of the Staff" Garland 17-4, 4.28 for the Good Guys

vs.

Esteban "Our Former Ace" Loaiza 9-8, 4.95 for the Athletic Club from Oakland

We owe Esteban a lot. We signed him for a cheap salary and he gave us a Cy Young calibe season. THey once he started coming back to earth we were able to pick up a stud in Jose Contreras. He's done a lot for us, but we really shouldn't repay him with a win. The Sox did well in Anaheim, er Los Angeles, um yah, Anaheim and I think they will do well in Oaktown. The Sox pitching has been great as of late, and should continue to do so against the offensively challenged A's.

My pick to click is Jermain Dye, returning to his former stomping grounds.

Readers make those picks here!

(If I really wanted to make sure I won the Pick to Click race, I would disable comments, but that'd be too obvious)

I've gotta go to the airport after the game, so if anyone wants to do the recap tonight, please be my guest (and thank you) if not I'll get it done in the morning.

I'm gonna take Pods tonight (or whoever is in LF) and hope for a miracle.

I'll get the recap us unless someone else wants it. (Pander? Dickie?)

My Pick To Click is Anderson-- stretching singles to doubles to prove to ozzie he is a *speed* guy.

Extras in Cleveland, fuck you jobu, I'll do it myself.

With Frank at 3rd and one out, the Sox don't have to play in, and as I', typing it, Hawk mentions it.

So much for the HR drought! Mack didn't miss it.

More unforgiveable was the way Pods let him get the double in the first place. Frank slowed down just around 1st and if Pods would have attacked the ball, instead of letting it get to the ball, Frank never would have gotten into 2nd. At least Mack was going the other way when he caught it.

Jobu is dead! Twins lose!

The Sox play has been so up and down lately. Thome is starting to look like Pods, JD is mentally tired, Ozzie continues this Mack is CF disaster.
And the team isn't taking very good swings.

Ya think, dickie?
I don't know about Esteban. It doesn't seems like he's electrying or mystifying.

Here's JD's chance to cement his MVP status with the bases loaded.

I am in no way, shape or form a professional hitter or hitting coach but Thome has gotta adjust somehow. He's gotta cut that swing down.

jon is battling and would possibly be ahead if it weren't for mack

Confused as to why Ozzie pulled Garland so early and on top of that he calls on Cotts.

9/15/2006 11:05 PM

Cotts made his one out. If we see him in the next inning, I'll be surprised.

And, no I couldn't tell, other than the R/L matchup Ozzie loves to micromanage.

Was it that high? Now I understand his reasoning a littler better.

So close, and yet so far, just like the Sox season.

Luckily this is only a 2 run game or I'd be audi. But these guys have a knack for surprising us when we least expect it.

Ughh, I die tonight only to rise again tomorrow. Help me Obi-wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.

Paulie might wanna think about swinging at pitches right in the middle of the plate if he wants to make the post season.

Well, Pander, envy isn't my sin tonight. I feel like a slug after this one and wouldn't want to recap this one. Have fun.
