QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:13 PM) El Duque gave up only 1 walk tonight and he has given up 5 total in 3 starts. 5 walks in 2 games against the Twins and 1 game against the Indians is not bad at all. It wasn't the walks tonight, he traded them for singles. I guess its better that he's making baserunners earn their way on base but that was still brutal to watch.

QUOTE(nitetrain8601 @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:08 PM) Hopefully we break the trend of losing every 3rd game. Against Detroit I think we have a good shot. Garland is on a mission this year.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 10:08 PM) And tonight's winning pitcher. HOW COULD I FORGET GOOCH!!! He's rocking so far!!! Contreras and Hernandez are shaky as hell IMHO. They are walking too many batters and giving up too many hits. Maybe it was just that we were facing the Twins but they need to show me something still.

Hermanson = brilliant signing. Still no runs given up. He's been money so far this season and will be the closer here in the VERY near future. There's a reason why we have such a good record in 1 run games. Viz: Tough start but has rallied nicely in has last couple of outings. He'll be solid all season. Pods: Hurt for a little while but you already have seen a good taste of what he's gonna accomplish while he's here. He messes with pitcher's heads something fierce and when they make mistakes........we capitalize. Dye: The only real soft spot in my eyes. I have no explanation why he's been struggling lately but hopefully he'll wake up and get hot here soon.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 09:52 PM) Nah, KC has been actually decent and Detroit has a very good offense. One game at a time Nuke, one game at a time. The Sox have had trouble with these type of mathcups the past few years so I ain't doing anything but hoping the Sox play good baseball. That's the only thing that worries me about this weekend. The Sox have a nasty habit of playing to the level of their competition. They play the better teams and they bring their A game. They play lesser teams and they play like a lesser team. Lets see how the 2005 edition of the Sox handles this.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 09:01 PM) now lets go get Detroit tomorrow We're gonna own these Biatches. Book it!

QUOTE(IndplsSoxFan @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 09:46 PM) What's ridiculous is that they end up empty. They should scale the prices down closer to game time to fill those seats. Are these seats any good?

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 09:29 PM) Dodgers are still the best team in baseball, but the SOx are definately playing well. Here's to having the Sox as the 2nd quickest team to double digit wins Now keep those wins a coming We got series against Detoilet and KC coming up. We should ( I emphasize SHOULD ) have no trouble beating up on these sissies.

QUOTE(Punch and Judy Garland @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 09:44 PM) $175? Man they better guarantee victory for those kind of bones. That's ridiculous And I thought the Box seats were a little pricey......SHEESH!!!

I can't believe we only gave up 1 run on those 14 hits. Duke made a pitch when he had to and the pen held it down. GO SOX!!

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 09:17 PM) I was one of the haters! I am glad he is proving me wrong! Agreed. I'm happy to eat crow in a situation like this.

QUOTE(thomsonmi @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 08:49 PM) Hell, the story should be that we are 10-4 in first place and 4-1 in five games against the Twinkies. That's a pretty kickass story. LOL!!! Now to fatten up on bottom feeding Detoilet and KC.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 08:47 PM) Great win again.....we stay in first place How many years is Hermy signed for? He has an 0.00 ERA right now Make him closer and give him a nice fat contract.

WOO f***ING HOO!!!!!!! SOX UP 2 TWINS GO BOO HOO!!!!!!

18K tonight. BLECH!!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 09:16 AM) Ugh, dude I told you, running sux, get a car. I totally agree but we get to pass right by our parked cars when we all go running. ARR!!!!!!!!!

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 09:08 AM) The bullpen is a little taxed for tonite. Politte is available, Cotts should be able to go, Marte is fresh. Vizcaino probably needs a day off. Duque has to go at least 6 complete IMHO.

QUOTE(sec159row2 @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 08:59 AM) I hope you are right... We got a chance to really bury the Royals and Tigers this week and we need to take full advantage of these weak ass teams.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 08:53 AM) lol, you got me, Nuke. How ya feel this morning?? Not too bad. My last drink was that fiver of Jack I took when Crede parked one. I started pounding gatorade right after and I'm glad of it cause we ran 3 miles this morning and there was about a 20 MPH headwind. I damn near died! LOL!!!

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 08:50 AM) I have 2: Watching him slam 4 beers and 3 shots in like 15 minutes next to me at a club. Seeing him out with his ex-woman Carmen Electra, wow. Just admit it LOS You were just looking at his ass the whole time. LOL

Lets beat these assclowns tonight and go into Detoilet and KC with a 2 game lead. I fully expect to win 5 of 6 from Detoilet and KC since they both are a couple of suckass teams.

QUOTE(Jabroni @ Apr 18, 2005 -> 11:51 PM) Agreed. The look on that cameraman's face was classic. He had a look of shock for a minute there but then he realized........"Hey! I'm about to get paid! Sweet!!!"

QUOTE(Controlled Chaos @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 07:18 AM) Regarding Contreras.... What the hell takes him so long to hook up with AJ for?? I mean s*** it's like theres 15-25 seconds between every pitch. Slows down the game for everyone... Contreras = "The Anti-Buerhle"

QUOTE(sec159row2 @ Apr 19, 2005 -> 08:34 AM) I fear for september to face the twins and especially the indians... these wins may not happen in sept... The Indians will be dead and buried by August.....Book it.
