QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 3, 2011 -> 12:43 PM) those are the at bats that are going to kill me from Dunn. 2 outs and he got 3 very hittable pitches and he works the walk. he should be trying to drive in the run not work his OBP. I don't agree with that at all, if you get on base its a good ab especially with a very capable hitter behind you. Sure he might of had some decent pitches to hit but getting on base is better than not getting on base.

Masterson seemingly has our number, hopefully 2nd time through lineup we get a beat on him.

Does anyone know a site that streams games anymore??

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 07:50 PM) Unless they catch lightning Tampa Bay-style, we will be having the exact same conversation in three years. Although the Pirates havent had guys with the talent of McCutchen/Alvarez or even Walker/Tabata since Brian Giles. If those guys keep improving and their prospects pan out fans will support that team.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 05:10 PM) Oz is a "from the gut" guy. He doesn't go with matchups very often. It's "wait and see", I guess. Yeah that is definitely 100% incorrect... if anything Ozzie puts too much emphasis in matchups.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 05:02 PM) I don't know if Morel should be benched the day after he makes two errors. It seems counter-intuitive. I think your looking too much into it. Vizquel/Teahen are both better matchups and Morel will be back out there starting on Tuesday.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Apr 2, 2011 -> 03:17 PM) Morel had an ugly play. It happens. He had 2 errors on one play, failed on a sac bunt, and only hit was because Choo misplayed the ball terribly. He definitely did not have a good day by any means, but 2nd game of season and we won pretty handily so it happens.

Im fairly certain we wont see Lillibridge, I could see Vizquel/Teahen making an appearance though.

Based off SP's this is definitely heavily favored on our sides, it would be pretty spectacular to start the season with a sweep

Nice game, good to see we didn't let them score a ton of runs like yesterday too. Morel had an ugly day but everyone else good job.

Good 1st inning, got a run on the ball and all 3 outs were hard hit balls

Hopefully the bullpen got their crapiness out of the way on opening day but other than that fantastic game!

I probably will be working Friday, but going to head out to Key West for the games on Saturday/Sunday if anyone else is going let me know.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 28, 2011 -> 05:58 PM) Winter's Bone was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I don't think you have much taste in movies in that case.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 10:31 PM) No disrespect man, but why should she think something of it? Maybe some people don't see the need to gloat or try to impress others with "breaking news". After all, it's just baseball, not news that ever impacts people's lives. I just don't get the "yay, i found news first" attitude. What are we.. 10? Here's to Dex being the ol' Dex Kind of a downer arent you?

QUOTE (hitlesswonder @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 08:01 PM) So...Shaka and Tubby aren't candidates? That surprises me (especially Tubby). I do think the rush to get Shaka Smith will be funny...I'm sure almost any BCS or near-BCS school opening will have him at the top of the list. In fact, even schools without openings have fanbases lusting after him (some Daily Herald columnist already wrote that Illinois should open up the checkbook for Smith or fold the program). Shaka may turn out to be a great coach, but his VCU team did not have an awesome regular season and I think it's humorous how a good tourney run on it's own is worth millions of dollars to a coach. Agreed, let me see VCU get in the tourney again next season and win a game or 2 and I'd be all over their coach. Butler's coach on the other hand, if he wanted the job I'd love him taking Weber's job.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 06:52 PM) Missouri has apparently contacted Painter. This would be a shock hire. One that I'm not even sure I'd like. Still probably not likely. If Martin believed the Purdue job would open he probably would have waited for that. I'm holding out hope for Shaka. Is Painter from Missouri?? Otherwise I don't see how that would be considered an upgrade for him.

My guess would be once Peavy is able to return they want to keep Humber on the big league club and he will be moved to longman. At that time, it might become more apparent who fits better on the team between Milledge/Lillibridge.

QUOTE (3E8 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 03:50 PM) Butler is pretty beatable? Probably one of their easiest opponents of their tourney run... not saying VCU will win just you can argue Butler is the 2nd worse opponent they faced so far.

Wow, if VCU holds onto the lead they have a pretty beatable opponent to make the championship game... that would be pretty amazing

QUOTE (SoIL @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 01:39 PM) Ivas and Key West had a parting of ways a few months ago, but the bar still has music on Sunday nights and occasionally on a Friday or Saturday. So if I was just looking to watch the game with a bunch of sox fans Key West is the place to go? I have a friend who goes to the Cellar all the time but she is a Cubby fan so meh on that.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 27, 2011 -> 08:25 AM) pffft, go to Key West, the owner(my former boss) Jeff Formentini is a huge Sox fan. It will always be on in that bar Never even heard of Key West, is it on the strip?

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 25, 2011 -> 11:53 PM) Go to Pinch, there will be plenty of Sox fans there. Did not know that, I've always tried Buffalo Wild Wings in past and crowd was kind of lackluster... Also Scottydo thats cool, give me a message and we can work something out.

Hey, didn't know the appropriate forum to post this in but down in Cdale I don't have many friends that follow the Wsox, all Cardinal/Cub lovers, was wondering how many of Soxtalkers are down here that would be cool with catching a game from time to time.

How come Brandon Knight doesnt get talked about much, wasnt he the top rated prospect along with Barnes and he seemingly has had a pretty good season and PG usually is a glamor spot.
