Pierre picks up Morel! Steal another base Juan.

Ugh...Morel's really going to try out patience at the plate this year.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 02:46 AM) Kubel owns Rivera Thought for sure game would be 5-4 Twins after seeing this.

That a boy Alexei! Tough send with that gun in RF.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 02:45 AM) my favorite memories of KC are when Mags and Frank would come in here hot and emasculate their pitching staff. you still suck, AJ. Ordonez used to destroy Durbin on KC

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 02:44 AM) Wake up? The offense can't wake up with all these long swings against the sinkerballer. Typical Sox Corpseball. Those short swings the first 2 days will never be seen again. Buried, burned, gone, however you like it. Lots of pop ups on low pitches the last few innings.

Gavin's kept us in the game these last few innings...time for offense to wake up.

9 outs before The Reliever Formerly Known as The Mexicutioner gets in.

Twins just tied it in the 8th...shocked Rivera wasn't brought in to get 4 outs.

Hochevar has the Sox chasing that low slider away right now. Need to beat him on his fastball.

Gavin's about to get killed out there. Scary stuff!

Can't remember now, but was Gavin pitching from the stretch or wind-up when Cabrera was up with the runners on 2nd and 3rd?

Terrible performance by Gavin so far. Not sure why Beckham was playing so far up the middle with all of those inside sliders.

Nice pitch to Aviles...huge batter in this game for Gavin coming up.

QUOTE (Lillian @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 12:49 AM) Floyd looks like he's shot putting the ball. God, you'd think he'd finally have his mechanics down to where he could pitch in his sleep. That 89 mph fastball won't cut it. Yep, definitely aiming everything. No movement, zip, or command on his pitches. Got to avoid a big inning.

Gavin's stuff is going to have to improve tonight if he wants to qualify for a win.

QUOTE (kapzk @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 01:35 AM) how does the velocity on Gavin's fastball look? 90-91

Get it going again offense!

Jeez, stop throwing fastballs down the plate. Royals are just crushing Gavin right now, as AJP refuses to call for a curveball.

Gavin throwing meatballs to the plate. I hate watcing him and Alexei during the first month of the year.

Ironic that Payne and Richmond are in the news on the same day. Probably two of the worst attitudes I've seen in following high school basketball.

Ah Yankees! Have a season, Mark Teixeira

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Apr 5, 2011 -> 11:52 PM) I wonder if the Bulls take a flyer on him at end of first round, he wont contribute next season but you don't get that kind of talent late in the draft that often. Unless some SG prospect that makes for a solid bench guy falls to them I see no reason not to draft Richmond and just send him to the D-League for a season. What exactly is his talent? Not going to play SG or SF in the NBA with no jump shot and a terrible attitude.

QUOTE (hitlesswonder @ Apr 5, 2011 -> 03:27 AM) It is crazy that teams that lost in the championship game (tOSU...Illinois) would have destroyed the two finalists this year. And it's not like 08 was that long ago. What the hell happened to college basketball? All the top recruits go to Kentucky?

Fitting end to a terrible basketball season. Hopefully a lot of the top guys continue to return to school so that the talent level rises.
