Awesome at bats

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 01:01 AM) His stance looks different, swing mechanics has changed. I would venture that he has been "fixed". The entire front office, from KW to Ozzie, better get fired if they don't fire Walker and they underachieve this year. This offense is terrible.

SWING THE BAT! Again, what exactly was Dunn expecting to get from Colon that AB? You've seen one lefty at bat against Colon, you've seen them all.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 12:58 AM) Remember when Sox fans, myself included, wouldn't have traded Gordon for anything outside of Pujols? Yeah, I miss those days. Interesting that Smoak and Brett Wallace have flown past Beckham this year, as they were in the same draft and were guys we were interested in.

Our hitters just have no plan at the plate. Did Konerko really not think he was going to get all sinkers with a man on base? I laughed when Farmer thought our hitters would have an advantage cause a lot of them played with Colon on the Sox.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 12:51 AM) Still, with our pitch-to-contact staff, having Teahen (aka Kevin Reimer/Josh Fields) in LF and Quentin in RF, he'd let just as many runs in as he'd create offensively. Yeah, cause Pierre has been amazing in LF.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 12:47 AM) Yankees' announcers have the idea he's struggling because he hasn't adjusted to DHing after playing in the NL for so long. He's struggling cause he's diving so far out over the plate, his head is moving an insane amount and he's losing the ball at about 55 feet. It's why when he does make contact, he's hitting a lot of lazy pop ups to left field.

QUOTE (SoxPride56 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 12:44 AM) But good thing we took him out to save his arm! That story was bogus

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 28, 2011 -> 12:43 AM) Wow, the RF warning track is getting a workout. Buehrle has gotten hammered in all but one start this year.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 11:39 PM) I don't be;ieve what just happened. Bases loaded and no out and we can't score I don't understand why Teahen isn't playing 3rd or LF. Need to get his bat in the lineup right now. Pierre is just a pile of suck, yet he never gets a day off.

I hate this National League bulls*** stuff.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 11:36 PM) colon's still got it -- Gordon is f***ing lost, so that helps. You get the feeling it's going to be Omar at 2nd and Teahen at 3rd on a regular basis in about two weeks

Never thought I'd say this, but thank Lillibridge that Buehrle's contract is up. He's being paid a ton of money to be a mediocre #3 starter. A trip to the NL is what he needs to salvage his career.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 03:36 AM) So what, every manager bunts in that situation no matter what and yet Oz gets ripped by Sox fans on here when he does it. No, they really don't. I have a feeling Girardi looked at Granderson's career numbers against Thornton, and decided to bunt.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 02:13 AM) I guess Ozzie isn't so dumb after all, putting Lilly in right for the ninth. Kudos to you, Ozzie! and Lilly! It wasn't a defensive sub

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 02:13 AM) He almost blew it twice. Gotta love the Stealth Elf for saving the day. He was brought in with no breathing room to face two of the best hitters on the planet. I'm just proud of him for throwing strikes.

Poor Lillibridge. Last year, he hits a mammoth bomb the night Hawks won Stanley Cup. This year, he makes some amazing plays to beat the Yanks on the night Bulls/Hawk can advance.

BRENT!!!!!!

I really wouldn't mind pitching around him.

QUOTE (cws0591 @ Apr 27, 2011 -> 03:00 AM) like i said. Do you want me to find the Buehrle or Danks thread about starting the 9th inning? Yeah, a little different with Buehrle facing the A's then facing the American Dreams for the 4th time.

OH BRENT!

How hard would it have been to let Santos start the inning to face Jeter? Jeter's had a hard time hitting any decent fastball this year, and didn't have much of a chance vs Santos last night.

At least Thornton's in line for the loss now if we lose this inning.

Haha, just comical managing

Bring in Sergio!
