"Orel is a gambler. He gambles more than any other pitcher in the game and gets away with it. He throws pitches in situations you're not supposed to, and he puts the ball in places to hitters that other pitchers are afraid to. He controls the tempo. Orel just refuses to give in to anyone." - Rick Dempsey

"You'll hear pitchers say 'I had great stuff and got shelled', but you never hear them say 'I had great location and got shelled.'"

Things the ESPN guys are not saying anymore

1. Complaining that the White Sox are not holding runners on.

2. That Buerhle was probably in for a good night because he had the same home plate umpire that called his perfect game and no-hitter.

3. How Shane Lindsay's mother came all the way from Australia to see him pitch. (His ERA is now 38.70. She was apparently seen calling Delta to see if she can get an earlier flight home)

Orel Hershiser is going to town on the White Sox for not holding a runner on first base down 9-0

Says it is only the 5th inning, the White Sox are in a pennant race and this is the "AMERICAN LEAGUE" after all!

Whiskey or rum?

Bobby Valentine and Orel Hershiser applauding Kerry Wood for intentionally hitting a batter!

"He did it the right way!"

Your move Terry!

Gotta love baseball!

Hershiser says that walk by Posada could turn his whole season around

It might be a "three man booth" problem.

They gotta talk you know.

I grant a "mulligan".
