with Kottaras/Ransom/Izturis coming up? not very likely. I'm hoping for a Kottaras walk, a Ransom K on a wild pitch, an Izturis sac bunt, an Aoki HBP, a Gomez sac fly, and a Braun salami (GRAND salami, you sickos).
I feel like he actually pitched pretty well to the next two guys. They sure didn't hit the ball very well. AJ rolled over one and beat the shift on a dribbler and Viciedo dinked one off the end of the bat. Of course now Veras walks Alexei to load the bases...
I haven't watched this Viciedo guy except for these last couple games, but he seems like an incredibly lucky hitter. He's like Gomez in that he looks like he's just trying to swing with all his might and pull everything, but then sometimes gets lucky and gets one off the end of the bat with enough power that it finds a gap.
And when WGN comes back from showing the replay of that catch, they show an ad for the Illinois Lottery "Anything's Possible." That was seriously one of the luckiest catches I've ever seen.
If it was bang-bang it'd be hard to get upset. He wasn't even remotely close to beating it. True, true. When the outfielder bobbled it, I thought, "Ooh! He's got a shot at a triple!" Then I saw the throw and where Aoki actually was. D'oh.
