Get him in, get him over. Where's Pierre when you need a weak grounder to 2nd?

Very nice line drive by Quentin, he looks study with the pink bat. I bet we see Ramirez bunt here.

QUOTE (Wanne @ May 9, 2010 -> 07:33 PM) I know Dye gets hammered for his D...but he's made that catch quite a few times the last few years IMO. You're right though...I still have yet to see Q make an outstanding defensive play this year. Dye was good going back on it. Ordonez was good coming in on it. Quentin is just bad at everything defensively.

1-0 on the flare....Quentin still yet to make a difficult play this season.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 9, 2010 -> 07:30 PM) I blame this early season struggle on Donny Lucy, who, by the way, is now 4/8 in Charlotte. And even Brent Lillibridge (14 steals, mid 600's OPS) seems a better option at leadoff than Juan Pierre, sad to say. Can either of them replace Quentin and/or Beckham? They're the real issue right now.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 9, 2010 -> 06:27 PM) Rios with a really bad read on that ball. One of his few misplays of the season. The time has come to seriously think about Gordon going to Charlotte, I'm afraid. Just think it might be the best thing for him in the long-term. Not sure he can get his confidence back at the big league level...although I am sure Ozzie/KW will give him the benefit of the doubt, 2 more weeks at least. If they struggle on the road trip, he'll be sent down and be the "scape goat".

Where did this Floyd fastball come from? Mercy, he's really gunning it.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ May 9, 2010 -> 06:25 PM) Anybody know how much Vernon Wells makes a year? A ton, more than Rios

QUOTE (jphat007 @ May 9, 2010 -> 07:24 PM) Can anybody think of a worse 1-2 combo the last few years in baseball? Mercy There's just no reason to keep that combination together right now. Floyd can't be hanging pitches, as Toronto seems to demolish every hanging pitch they get.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ May 9, 2010 -> 07:16 PM) I hope Gavin gets the perfect game today. We aren't scoring more than 1 or 2 against Romero, so we better hope he dominates. Romero's extremely impressive, I have no idea how people get good swings against him.

Against a LHP with a great throwing catcher, there's really no reason for Pierre to be playing. Ho hum, another Beckham K.

BTW, Ozzie hopes to get Omar Vizquel more ABs. Says he's doing a fantastic job.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ May 9, 2010 -> 02:46 AM) Carlos Boozer sucks. He is completely incompetent defensively and doesn't finish worth a damn against good interior defenders. And is such a huge ball hog! This game tonight has been great.

The reason the Indians got such a good prospect for Blake is cause they were willing to pay for almost all of Blake's remaining contract.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 9, 2010 -> 03:39 AM) And Ramirez...although he's getting closer. He almost hit a bomb to LF and followed it with a soft single, and he was inches from being safe at first on his ill-conceived dive into 1B play when Gonzalez (your AL starting SS in the All-Star game if it were held today) nailed him (OR NOT). If he had run through the bag, he'd have had a 3/4 or 3/5 day. Maybe Beckham's cheap infield hit with lead to something good...the patience with the walks is SOMETHING to be encouraged by, fingers crossed. Until Beckham starts hitting line drives, I won't be encouraged by anything.

Jones, Konerko, and Rios continue to hit the ball harder than anyone else. Teahen better not be playing tomorrow, and Quentin/Beckham still aren't close to even being mediocre right now. Peavy's slider was awesome though, and has me very optimistic about him going forward.

Nice win, let's go out and get the split tomorrow.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 9, 2010 -> 02:46 AM) Castro cost the cub two runs with an E6 I LOVE watching J. Gomes play!

Great start again for Peavy. I love this ump.

Might be time to get Peavy out of the game. Really no reason to add another inning to his arm.

That a boy Andruw!

No bat speed for Beckham. He's not turning on the inside fastball.

NASTY SLIDER! This is the Peavy I remember seeing highlights of.

Peavy kinda struggles to field his position, doesn't he?

Teahen hits into more 3-6-3 DPs than anyone I've ever seen. Awful, awful player! He better not be in the lineup tomorrow.
