I’ve very surprised to see Contreras start the ninth. After Guerrero almost homered, with a bullpen that hasn’t worked in days, why is Ozzie not going to the bullpen?
Anderson flies out to start the inning.
Update: Molina follows up with a single to center. That appears to be it for Contreras. A great effort. He throws 102 pitches, 68 for strikes. He gives up seven hits, but no walks and strikes out four. Only one of the hits was for extra bases, the home run by Anderson. That effort is usually good enough to win.
Update: Cotts is on in relief. An aptly named pitcher for the tired Angels.
Update: Erstad grounds into a force out. The ball was hit too slow to get the double play.
Update: Rivera pops to second to end the inning. The White Sox have three outs to get one run.
Just as shocked as you are.
Anyone else dreading the idea of listening to Lou Pinella for another week or so?
Bring back Bret Boone! Anyone know who the third guy will be for the NLCS?
Or Al Leiter, now that the Yanks are out of it. I remember him actually having some intelligent things to say a couple years back.
According to foxsports.com, it’s going to be Bob Brenly
Brenley’s good.
Yeah, Lou’s about as bad as McCarver here. Bring back Al Leiter!
You wouldn’t be surprised if you were a Sox fan. Ozzie will keep his starter in longer than he should so that the starter can get every chance possible to get a win. You probably think I’m joking.
