QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 10:51 PM) This home plate umpire is brutal. Aye, tea cup strike zone from this guy today.

Why is it every team is so prepared/so perfectly set up against the Sox and our guys look dumbstruck/surprised at what teams do to them?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 10:39 PM) If you didn't like what he did, hit him the next time he's up It's what Nolan Ryan used to do, hit a HR off him, he pegged you the next AB. If Ventura wants to peg Micah, I'm fine with it, hurt him by scoring off it

Loving Micah so far

QUOTE (Baron @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 10:11 PM) Got to love it...a few innings in and people are ready to throw Shark to the curb He's being squeezed at the plate and the Royals got a couple of cheap hits, yet, he already sucks

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 10:07 PM) I have seen enough of Flowers for 2015 already. The lone black hole in the lineup and on defense, about the only thing Hahn didn't upgrade in the offseason

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 09:56 PM) And Eaton sees 2 pitches And swung at his offspeed stuff outside of the zone, Sox hitters gotta square up for his fastball, it's about the only thing he's throwing for strikes.

Lay off Ventura's offspeed stuff, boys, he hasn't thrown it in the zone yet

It was great that the Sox were getting rid of black holes in the lineup with Viciedo gone (Step forward) but 2 million is the going rate for backup INFs now? Really?

Best part was Abreu waiting back on that 3rd curveball to drive the sucker. Now if he can teach Viciedo that....

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 07:58 PM) Love Abreu power to right center. Like a 1st ballot HOFer that wore 35 used to do here. It's baseball goodness seeing a righty drive a rocket the opposite way

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 3, 2013 -> 10:07 PM) I adore that we use Rooney's line for winner threads, but then again that turncoat has been with the Cardinals for 8 seasons. We need something new. How about BALLGAME HEEYESSS SOX WIN That is my suggestion. Remember, the Score didn't want to pay Rooney what he was worth so not exactly his fault. Still like his tag though, hope to see many a time this yr

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 5, 2012 -> 08:25 PM) Winning two out of three in Minneapolis was almost more impressive for the Sox. This, 1000x this

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 27, 2012 -> 08:21 PM) Dunn, Rios, De Aza, and Youk with three hits a piece. Escobar and JorDanks with two each. The other four hitters in this game with one each. Me likey

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ May 30, 2012 -> 09:28 PM) Not to get too far ahead, but we;re coming home to a very beatable set of three teams...something like 7-2 on this homestand is very doable...which would be putting us at 19-3 over 22... Can't win every game but a team can win every series, that Blue Jays series will be the key to the homestand being really good! Seattle will look to avenge that perfect game from Humber but Houston absolutely stinks. 7 - 2 is absolutely doable

I didn't care about the beanfest until my favorite Sox player of this season, Alejandro De Aza, got hurt by this nonsense. Sweep these f***ers out of this roller dome, that's the right way to make them pay

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 17, 2011 -> 04:16 PM) I thought he was absolutely hilarious, especially as he was first on Earth. I enjoyed Thor, when I expected to think it sucked. Yep, same here. I expected Thor to be bad but it actually was a pretty fun movie. Will put X-Men: First Class in the netflix queue as the last two pages say it's pretty damn good. Captain America worth a look? Tron, I liked but yeah, it could have been so much more. Saw Contagion with the wife last week, very good scare the s*** out of you with germs type movie.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 09:50 PM) Translation: "I was looking for a cheap yes man" Your theory's correct but Jesus Age Christ, when the hell did Robin EVER express any interest in managing? And wouldnt Dave Martinez have come at the same cheap price?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 6, 2011 -> 09:45 PM) wtf This, many times. I loved Robin Ventura as a player and by all accounts, he's a good guy but

Holy hell, is KW just piling on the dirt on Ozzie's grave. Paraphrasing: "We had the warnings, we have select candidates." Weird, weird conference by Kenny.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Aug 2, 2011 -> 02:11 PM) IIRC we play the Jays at home the last series of the year, which are surely to be meaningless games. If Teahen sniffs the field somehow don't be surprised if Ozzie calls to drill him as his parting gift to Teahen and this organization on his way out the door. There is my "bold" prediction for the rest of the year. What'd really be funny is the Sox pitcher ignores the order to plunk Teahen.

Is it just me or does the statue look like he fouled a pitch off?

The Sox better get their rest in tomorrow cuz there's no off day until Aug 15th. They will be playing 17 straight starting Friday with a road trip to the damn Twins mixed in there.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 14, 2011 -> 05:42 PM) A healthy Frank would have definitely made that lineup dangerous. But the pitching staff overachieving was the main reason that team won 99 games and won the WS. When Frank came back into the lineup in June, didn't the Sox go like 14 - 5 with him as the DH? He slugged 5 HRs I think in that streak and just really propelled the Sox to that double digit lead (Which later was so valuable until JOE! CREDE! rescued them in Sept). If Frank stayed healthy through the playoffs, i think the Sox would have gone undefeated in the playoffs with the way the pitching staff just dominated everything.
