Having Crisp hitting as he did in Cleveland at #7 or #8 in the order will be a huge weapon.<BR/><BR/>Okajima is more than a LOOGY and has really impressed me so far.

A couple of random thoughts:<BR/><BR/>Granted, my seat wasn't exactly behind home place (try RF grandstand), but I agree s1c - it seemed that Randy Marsh's zone was all over the place last night, especially on breaking pitches. In the 5th inning, Marsh botched a call that should have been Abreu's third strike. Instead, Abreau walked, setting up Slappy McBluelip's second HR.<BR/><BR/>Also, kudos to Sox fans for not reaching down and grabbing up Coco's triple during the comeback. Had a bonehead fan interfered, Coco would have been stuck on second, the Yankee's infield would not have been playing in on the grass, and Cora's soft lob would have been an out instead of the go-ahead RBI.Pandyorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17612356293840428373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-51311123746105184472007-04-21T06:30:00.000-07:002007-04-21T06:30:00.000-07:00I love MO...ya gotta!I love MO...ya gotta!Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883803556110223535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-43061523037349741052007-04-21T03:55:00.000-07:002007-04-21T03:55:00.000-07:00I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!(ps I never gave up.

Someon...I want my Hero in the Dark shirt tomorrow. Someone has to make it, en masse.<BR/><BR/>Tonight, after watching the bottom of the 8th on, is the first time I ever felt any good vibes about Coco. His reaction to the triple was incredible, really. He wasn't smiling nonchalantly, or reveling in finally throwing off what has weighed him down as of late. He showed a fire and an intensity I had never seen before, in what may be the first time since he was traded from Cleveland.<BR/><BR/>This game could really be a watershed moment for Crisp. Even if he's still not making great contact (and his ridiculously low BABIP isn't helping his case), he showed today that he's willing to literally run through walls to win.<BR/><BR/>Inches from catch of the year, mere inches.Sean Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07965480927483549287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-33950450877977706752007-04-20T21:44:00.000-07:002007-04-20T21:44:00.000-07:00Forgot to put that in about the hero in the dark. ...Forgot to put that in about the hero in the dark.

Well, he was a hero today (and Marsh blew that 2-2 pitch). The big hero in my opinion was Coco lining that cut fast ball into the corner for a triple.
