QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 10:43 PM) Opening day 2004 in KC, punched a hole in a closet door in my college apartment. that was a great day for me...first that, and then GT gets blown out in Title Game

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 08:29 PM) It's good to know that Quentin takes it as badly as a lot of us on the board when things aren't going so well with the team. Just wait until he's older...he'll know to appreciate the game and won't get as mad The angriest I've ever been watching the Sox was when Jenks blew a save against the Indians in 2005 after Aaron Boone singled up the middle against him in the 8th.

2 runs, 5 hits, 2 caught stealings

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 03:18 AM) The funny part is that I remember thinking during the game, I bet this is the night that Fathom states we have to send down Beckham. Do you disagree?

5 straight games where pitcher had his longest outing of the year vs Sox

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 02:25 AM) 2 months is probably still ~$5 mil. I'll be honest, I always thought player insurance was only handed out if the player missed the whole year. I've heard otherwise on here though.

FIRE GREG WALKER

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 01:18 AM) If Peavy's contract is insured...that really helps. If he comes back in May, you're not getting much money back at all then.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 01:15 AM) There has to be at least 10 NL pitchers with better offensive numbers than Rios. It amazes me how much we're paying him to be so terrible. But just remember, spending 30 million on Pujols (according to KW) is stupid when you can spend 30 million on Rios/Peavy.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 01:14 AM) not that wide it hasn't. this f***er is slobbering the knob. Rivera gets Maddux/Glavine in their prime type of respect from umps.

Been a strike all game Dunn.

Dunn going to bunt here?

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 01:04 AM) We won't, but if we actually get a guy or two on in the 9th can you imagine what Gordo vs. Riviera would look like? Gross. Prediction for 9th is: - Dunn pop up to left side - Rios 6-3 - AJP called strike 3, and he freaks out even though it's been a strike all night

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 01:02 AM) Some people really disliked Beckham's mechanics before he was with the Sox because of his large leg kick/timing mechanism, which potentially could make it hard for him to catch up to heat. And then his great contact rate in the minors and good rookie year made scouts feel like he could get away with it. His swing now is the football drill equivalent of throwing a football from your knees. I'm a big leg kick fan though, to be honest.

Way to pull that sinker Paulie.

Need PK to line one to the right field stands.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 12:55 AM) If Pierre starts tomorrow vs. Sabathia...I really don't know what to say. Of course he will. Lillibridge will probably play 2nd, and Castro will catch.

Buehrle starting the inning after 98 pitches. Nice effort by him, just that one pitch did him in.

At this point, Beckham's another failed Sox top hitting prospect under Walker.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 01:50 AM) Before they laid their paws on him... Beckhams swing mechanics Yet some people still think Walker's doing a good job. Terrible coach, but hey...at least players like to share a beer with him.

Juan seems to be striking out a hell of a lot more than usual this year.

I hope we never see this lineup again.

Holy hell, he wasn't even close to ready to hit that. What a terrible hitter right now.

Joba and Rivera in the pen for them tonight?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 12:39 AM) This elevation in velocity isn't "moving to the Yankees" and you know it. He took a year and a half off and finally let his arm heal more. No, I don't know it. I've seen enough of Rothschild to know how he coaches his pitchers. It's not always the best, as some see their arms fall off.
