QUOTE (Real @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:38 AM) horrid stretch of games for the sox right now, TB started slow but are playing awesome now, imagine when they get their lineup healthy meanwhile our multimillion dollar DH is being benched, of course Ozzie will act like the excuse of 'Price is a lefty' is valid. Since when do you pay somebody that kind of money who is essentially worthless against LHP Do you really expect Dunn to be able to hit Price, Liriano, etc? No problem with Ozzie benching him.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:36 AM) Twins sac bunt a drive in 2 something Sox never seem to do. They're also facing Chris Tillman.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:35 AM) Sox get a 3-2 count they are afraid to walk I guess. You don't get a .556 OPS by being selective

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:27 AM) Really frustrating when you look all around baseball and see young talent shining, while we're still waiting for Beckham to 'get it.' I was his biggest fan when he came up, but he's lost a lot of that star ability. Doesn't make consistent enough hard contact. Looking back at who we could have traded him for, you have to hope he figures it out as we need some good, cheap talent.

Big out by Jackson to keep us in the game.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 11:14 PM) How is Garza working for the Cubs? Fuld sparking TB. I always liked Fuld on the Cubs, but they were never willing to give him a shot. Great defender who always seemed like a tough out.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 11:13 PM) Looks like the Red Sawks have stopped f***ing around. Before you know it. the Twins will wake up and start winning too. I know it's early, but I would sure like the Sox to show some signs of life. IMO, Tigers are better than Twins. Better lineup, way better bullpen

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:11 AM) can't really dog other teams about attendance....the cell has been freaking empty this year Brooks should start hyping up Peavy's start on the 29th by saying "Come see Peavy...who knows if he'll be healthy for another start". That should get 18k in the stands.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:10 AM) sure, there's some speed, but it would be funny to line up Konerko, Dunn and Castro in a race. Dunn would look like Usain Bolt next to those guys

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 19, 2011 -> 12:06 AM) haha! we truly have some slow as s*** players on this team This is one of our faster lineups in recent memory, it's just PK and Castro are two of the slowest guys to ever play baseball. Crazy to think we were one out away from 8-4...and now we're staring 7-9 in the face.

Ironic that Tampa has one guy with power in their lineup...and he homers

MAKE IT STOP! Terrible mojo with the Sox right now. Edwin with two mediocre starts since his high pitch count game.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 11:57 PM) Opponents are killing the Sox with 2 outs last few games! Yep, and we can't get a freaking hit with 2 outs to save our lives. This Tampa lineup is absolutely pathetic.

QUOTE (DukeofChicago88 @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 10:54 PM) This Rays lineup is weak. We shouldn't have problems. This game on paper is a blowout in our favor. David Price says hello. And no lineup with Pierre, Morel, Castro and Lillibridge = blowout on paper

Come on Rios...his mechanics at the plate are awful. He has no ability to pull the ball with authority. He's fouled off so many meatballs this season to the right side.

QUOTE (scenario @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 03:55 AM) Other than Jerry Reinsdorf laughing when asked about it. JR might want to ask KW then why the Sox asked for Logan Morrison

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 03:59 AM) You really believe if we called 29 teams about Ozzie, only one story would have gotten out? I believe they targeted Florida and Florida only.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 02:44 AM) So you were trying to say that the Sox should have actively shopped Ozzie? Absolutely, and I have no reason to believe we didn't.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 01:31 AM) Not a bad gut feeling, Yasny. I think this homestand was a disaster. Tampa figures to win 3-of-4 minimum which would guarantee us a horrid start. 8-11 is not a horrid start

Amare doing some sick stuff in this 4th quarter.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 12:25 AM) Decent weather? In the shade it was freezing and at 10:00 this morning(when you decide to go to a game) it was 39 with 25 MPH winds. No rain was forecasted though. Wasn't it in the low 50s?

23,500 attendance today...that's really bad for a Sunday day game with decent weather. This road trip is huge for so many reasons.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 12:40 AM) That isn't anywhere close to you what you were trying to say. Unreal...everyone knows that it was the Marlins that said no (I believe it was Fred Mitchell that reported that). I'll always respect JR and KW for being open-minded about that.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 18, 2011 -> 12:17 AM) The Marlins are the ones who said no to that. I'm saying we were willing to listen to trade offers for Ozzie apparently. I'm well aware that the Marlins said no, yet I don't know why we went and extended Ozzie when it's pretty obvious if we struggle this year, he's gone.

Way to pitch to the best hitter in the majors so far Larussa with a bunch of junk up after him.
