Nah. He pitched 1 1/3.

You can't get a touchdown on an extra point attempt, you can only get a two-point conversion. Why would anyone kick an extra point (except for the potential final, winning point) if you had the potential to get six points from two yards away?

I think I need to start watching these games with the sound off again...

Looked it up. Yea it was only the 8th. When I thought it was the 7th last night I was shocked. I was far from a TV though which explains it.

Yeah I caught that too. I was like "WTF?"

Joe Buck doesn't have a football mentality.

Which is still better than a punter.

Small ball is working well.

Sublimity · 10-11-2005, 10:13 PM

Bengie Molina has a football mentality. He played Peewee football, and you can tell from the way he throws out would-be base stealers.

Funny, but I bet Todd Sauerbrun could kick your ass with or without steriods.

Jestor · 10-11-2005, 10:15 PM

****ing Joe Crede! Way to **** up the hit and run there, poncho.

I think they were probably referring to the fact that he bumped Cabrera off the bag with that slide.

As for the second, I can't give Buck a pass. He's on FOX's NFL A-team. If he doesn't know the difference... ouch.

Oh man, I didn't know he did football too... I don't think the South Florida region gets Fox's A-team too often, or maybe I just tune it out more easily somehow, so that explains why I (originally) gave him the pass.

Is Konerko playing Handball now?

Jonzard · 10-11-2005, 10:21 PM

Chone!

Jestor · 10-11-2005, 10:26 PM

Nice rundown by Rowand. I thought for sure that was good for at least one run, if not a straight up homer.

Lets see if another runner can get caught stealing.
