April 28/August 25, Orioles at White Sox

[The Rick]

Wow, how exhilarating that must have felt for Ramon! What a huge time to come through with a dinger.

[tywright]

OMG, that was the FUNNIEST thing I've ever heard out of Jim Palmers mouth.

"Well yay, O's."

Hahaha yup

Palmer is shocked...speechless

[erb8472]

Now would be a good time for Ramon to launch one...

Positive Rep to you!

Rrrrramon is really trying to silence the "play Quiroz more" crowd. I like the increased competition between the two.

Then why is the coach there?

Samuel takes a big part of the blame but as a baserunner you know where the ball is hit and that it is hit slow so you have to be concious that the SS might throw behind you there. I'm just saying a good, experienced baserunner probably doesn't get caught there.

[Jagwar]

Geez... this thing might get delayed again

[EddieO's21]

As bad as this sounds...the weather is getting worse...get this inning over with and go to the last so they don't stop play

[tywright]

haha Melvin Moron

As hard as it is to hit and field right now, I disagree. A 2-1 pitch, the guy just needs to make contact. any ball that he gets down will be hard for the fielders to make a play on because of the conditions. Good call by Guillen, bad execution by the batter.

Honestly. It was a fine call by Ozzie, and really just good luck for the Orioles. Johnson gave him a high, inside fastball. Very difficult to bunt.

Homerun, Hernadez!!!!

[Boy Howdy]

According to Chisox broadcasters:

Orioles = 2 left on base

Sox = 12 left on base

As many opportunities as the O's flubbed, the "bad guys" have even more regrets (so far)

[PeteCanes]

Yes Ramon!

thanks for the info for those of us working on presentations

You're reaching. If your coach says make the turn, you do it... period.

[Fan4Life]

Please don't jinx it yet.

No, I called it when they took Vasquez out, and just now... we're in control now..

[Orioles Magic]

Woooot! Good call!

What part of "the play was behind him don't you get?" He can't see it. He has to rely on the coach or he does something even worse by looking back, slowing his stride, and possibly getting thrown out that way.
