I hardly think that 5 games into the season we could proclaim it over, but damn thing are looking bleak. I don't know if I've ever seen such an anemic offense. 4 or 5 more runs over the past 3 or 4 games could've resulted in a 3-2 record vs. 1-4. I know it won't be like this forever, but I'm a little concerned right now.

If I was at the game, he'd get a standing O from me his first at bat.

Lucky for me I'm up and out of the house by 5:30 every morning during the week. If I had time to eat cereal in the morning I'd be much larger than I am now...and have fewer teeth.

One of the nice thing about having kids is always having a good selection of cereal in the house. And I'm talking about the good kind of cereal. Fruity Pebbles, Apple Jacks, Cap'n Crunch, etc. Thinking about that, I was wondering what the favorite cereals of SoxTalk nation are. Cinnamon Toast Crunch is one of my favorites, and I could devour an entire box on a Saturday morning while watching SportsCenter. But, one of my favorites from when I was a kid was the Vanilla Cookie Crisp. Why did they stop making it?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 8, 2010 -> 10:33 AM) Getting nothing done against their mediocre bullpen was very disconcerting. Indeed.

One can only hope Jones is playing tonight in place of Kotsay. I'm a fan of Kotsay...off the bench. Watching the game last night angered me, seeing him hit in the 5th spot. Peavy didn't have his best stuff last night, but giving up three runs is not atrocious. The offense needs to step it up now.

I caught up last night watching the latest episode on my DVR. I agree that the Desmond episodes are always solid. I'm slightly more confused after the latest, but that's not a bad thing. In the alternate timeline, when he landed safely in LA, he was working for Widmore and had no idea who Penny was. But in the island timeline, he was already in love with Penny and was abhored by Widmore, right? Maybe I'm getting my times mixed up, but are we to assume that these are two completely different timelines, not just different from the time of the crash?

Deadliest Catch is returning this month. I wonder how they will handle Capt. Phil's death.

Terrible tragedy. My dad was a coal miner in PA for ten years before huge layoffs forced our family to move to NC. He's said many times that he'd never go back, even for the money...and he worked in a notoriously safe mine. I cannot imagine what those people in WV are going through.

I was at work following the game via SoxTalk and Yahoo (and got very little work done). I finally just saw Buehrle's play. Holy s***!

Very encouraging opener.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 03:06 PM) Buehrle at 95 pitches, I think I take him out here even though he is cruising. The way he's pitching he could pitch a complete game with 115 pitches, but I agree. Maybe give him one batter then pull him. Let the fans give the ovation he deserves.

What a way to pitch the opener. I think that honor goes to Buehrle as long as he wants it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 02:58 PM) I'm glad I don't have to hear that. The Indians are a couple of years away at best. With Charlie Sheen wanting to leave Two and a Half Men, he can reprise his role as Vaughn and give them a chance this year.

Damn! I wish I could see what was going on. Nice play I take it?

Was that the third wild pitch?

The pic Yahoo uses for Kotsay makes him look like some drunk guy stumbling around the streets of Boston.

Kotsay can make a huge name for himself...at least for today.

Can Konerko do it again?

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 09:55 AM) The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Ray. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come Ray. People will most definitely come.

Very nice!

In Pennsylvania, the Monday after Thanksgiving is a "holiday" because of the first day of deer season. I think we should have the first day of Sox baseball off to go to the game or just sit on our duffs in front of our TVs with an ice cold beer in hand.

Real baseball. It's finally here. If only I had played hooky and got tickets to the game.

I read the article this morning about Cust being sent down. It sounds like the As GM is either not very smart or playing a game. Either way, I wouldn't be surprised if Cust wants out of there. And there is probably more than one team that could use him. I wouldn't mind seeing him as a Sox, but my guess is that KW doesn't make a play. I think he and Ozzie are set on going with the Jones/Kotsay thing.
