QUOTE (Real @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 01:32 AM) You know Romero will get tattooed in his next outing, that's how it always works when we get shut down. Remember when we got owned by Daniel Cabrera when he was in Baltimore? His start before and after the one against us, he was hit around like a beach ball. All teams feel this way. Watch Tallet go out and pitch a gem next game.

Can D. Rose DH?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 01:30 AM) Game threads these days are a delight. You've been just as critical about the offense so far this season as anyone.

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 01:23 AM) I'm pretty sure Kenny will do something about the offense sooner rather than later thing is, it's not just our DH position that looks awful. Alexei and AJP have been dreadful. Pierre obviously isn't going to lose his starting job, so it's up to the players that Ozzie and KW wanted to perform.

Wow AJP...very little confidence by our hitters so far.

Keeping us in the game..hitters need to have a better game plan against Romero.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 01:08 AM) Before last year, we crushed Verlander. And he hasn't looked very good at all thus far against Cleveland and Kansas City. If he gets fastball happy, we can murder him. Although with the way the offense has been this season... Be interesting if anyone picks up Thome's role as the Verlander-killer, as well as Pods role as the Greinke-killer

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 12:02 AM) didn't ozzie kind of hint at not wanting him or lillibridge during spring training? Yes, and as we know with Ozzie, if he doesn't really like someone, they're basically worthless on the roster.

He looks like Johan out there. Taking strikes, swinging at pitches 2 feet off the plate isn't a good recipe for a winner.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 12:59 AM) It's pretty obvious that Nix needs to be in AAA getting regular at-bats (if he's not claimed by another team...which is unlikely) because Ozzie's almost always going to go with Kotsay, Jones and Vizquel over the younger player. Might as well just trade Nix for a minor league arm or something, because if Beckham gets hurt, Omar will be starting over him.

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 11:57 PM) You can send this one to Cooperstown, guys. We just have to get to their pen, as Frasor looked awful last night.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 11:55 PM) I think it's pretty well known how you feel about Gavin... Are you kidding? I think he's the best pitcher on our staff.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 11:54 PM) ? I'm not watching the game but he's throwing mostly strikes. So he gave up a couple of runs...? The Jays are hitting, that's just what's up right now. High pitch count, and he's gotten away with some miserable pitches. One of the reasons they've hit well against our starters is because the stuff they were seeing was mediocre. Our relievers dominated them last night.

Time to get one run back. We've done a good job the last two games of responding to the other team.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 11:52 PM) Gavin sucks on the road. I had no idea there was such a difference for him. I'm already sick of lefties just crushing his fastball though.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 11:51 PM) There's a hanger if I've ever seen one. Where the hell are the fans? They had 46k last night. If it makes you feel better, he looks better this inning than he did the first two innings.

Gavin's not long for this game.

Alexei needs to just sit. Terrible throw home, but it's likely not going to matter as Gavin is throwing meatballs and Romero looks amazing.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 11:47 PM) We seriously struck out 6 times through 9 batters??? Yes, and the hitters were missing the pitches by a good foot. Romero literally looks unhittable out there. Only Rios made good contact.

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 11:46 PM) Gavin found his hard curve And the hanging curve almost got his head taken off. Gonzalez is right on everything.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 11:44 PM) seriously. why not give lexi the night off too and get Nix some PT? Maybe Nix took one of Ozzie's kids out partying and got the kid in trouble?

Alexei, stop complaining, that was right down the plate.

McCoy was overmatched there. Let's get some runners!!

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 11:36 PM) Hawk said he was really good though, xD. I thought the umpire last night was the best I've seen in years.

Gavin has no prayer against this team if the ump is going to be a fraud.
