Once this offense starts to kick in this team is going to take off. And it eventually will kick in.

I hope Danks is looking forward to his no decision.

QUOTE (striker @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 04:44 PM) An upper echelon catcher would not have thrown out Choo in either of his stolen base attempts in the 9th. I don't care who's catching, runners are going to steal off our pitchers unless THEY do something to hold the runners on. Nevermind, I read your later post.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 04:13 PM) My boy Floyd out there to pitch in the rubber game!!! And this might be a crazy thought, but if I were the Sox, I'd look hard into finding an upper echelon defensive catcher who could START. When you build a team around pitching, it also means you need to have a strong defense and our run-game defense is the worse in baseball (well outside of Boston). That would be a little more acceptable if we had a team that planned on scoring a s***-ton of runs, but when you built your team to win 3-2 games, you can't afford to be handing over 2nd to anyone that gets on 1st. An upper echelon catcher would not have thrown out Choo in either of his stolen base attempts in the 9th. I don't care who's catching, runners are going to steal off our pitchers unless THEY do something to hold the runners on.

Admins, you should put together an iframe page with the game thread and the mlb.tv or gameday thread (whatever the user selects). Check it out: http://www.fan-exchange.com/soxtalk.htm

I don't take "predictions" as seriously as "projections". I like to hear who Rosenthal, Gammons, etc. predict to win but I don't hold it against them if they are wrong. They are based on feelings/mindsets. It's more for fun. The projection systems are a little different. Those are simulated applications that come up with numbers. They are based on algorithms. If they are off then their reputation is on the line.

Come on peeps. No one is interested?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Mar 24, 2010 -> 01:14 PM) Then Jake Peavy will take the mound for game 2. I bet the attendance for game 2 (as long as the weather is nice) is 30k> with Peavy starting.

You should consider selling merchandise and using the proceeds for the site. I'd love a soxtalk beer mug. Or how about tshirts with our screennames on the back?

I'd bat Beckham 3rd. I think he's the best pure hitter on this team.

Another thing you have to look at with Teahen is that alot of players have at least one bad month. Their play is very streaky. So even if Teahen has a bad April, who's to say he can't rebound the rest of the year. I'd rather have him batting .200 in April than in September. Ultimately I think he'll come around.

He can suck all spring training as long as he hits solid the past few games. That should help his confidence and hopefully build some momentum for the season.

Putz in. Surrenders homerun to 1 armed Nady.

6 ABs with the bases loaded. 1 ball hit out of the infield. Real nice.
