QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 5, 2010 -> 01:43 AM) Unless Calipari can recruit (ie pay players to come to his team and leave before the sanctions hit), I really dont see his value. He can, that's the thing. LBJ would come play for him, no doubt in my mind.

QUOTE (Real @ May 5, 2010 -> 02:23 AM) this is why i don't get excited anymore if we win, or get too down if we lose, this team isn't very good and tonight just goes to show that what a disgrace, i don't know how i'll accept a firesale if it happens, though i don't think it'll happen. but i'm not kenny or jerry.. About to be 7 games out with no momentum for the Sox. Could be double digits by end of next weekend if we don't start playing better. If you get to that point, you absolutely start considering blowing it up. And I do believe they will have a fire sale if things go bad.

So comical moment last night at Sox game. They sounded the horn around 8:10, and I believe in previous games, they were playing the horn when the Hawks scored. However, last night was at the start of the game, and everyone was clapping thinking the Hawks scored. Everyone at the stadium didn't know the Hawks were already down 2-0 by the time they played that horn.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ May 5, 2010 -> 03:17 AM) haha. Did I? I don't remember that. That must've been in my homer days when we fought all the time And when your school's lacrosse players didn't kill each other

QUOTE (jphat007 @ May 5, 2010 -> 02:15 AM) That'll work. Now we just need a Gordon bomb. Lost was incredible btw fathom I will punch you in the face if you spoil it for me. I remember like 4 years ago, you spoiled the finale of either 24 or Prison Break.

This is why you don't leave Gavin in to die. KC's middle relievers have no confidence.

Williams is warming up. Interesting how careful the Sox are being with Santos. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt with this.

AJP CRUSHED that ball. Nice to see him hitting the ball better.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 5, 2010 -> 03:05 AM) i think you missed the qualifier Yes, you asked if I thought they were a better team. I'm saying that it shouldn't even be close, as I don't think they'll win over 70 games this season. Of course, my projection is the Sox go 74-88.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 5, 2010 -> 03:05 AM) Yeah, you got my point though...Do we have the physicality though? I can channel Jimmy Dykes and talk about the size of our guys' ticker.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 5, 2010 -> 03:03 AM) What are you, Bill Raftery now or something? Yes, I love that word...and it's Clark Kellogg

Nice block AJP

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 5, 2010 -> 02:01 AM) At some point the pitching just has no chance to win because they are unable to make one mistake. How many 4+ run innings have they given up compared to how many times they have scored more than 2 in an inning. Close games go to hell rather quickly. Agreed, this offense has no spurtability. Even when they score a few runs in an inning, they find a way to do something to kill momentum. On the bright side, Beckham looks decent tonight. I wish I could bet Sox fans about who would end up with a higher batting average this season, Beckham or Jones.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 5, 2010 -> 02:00 AM) This is an example on how pitch counts dont dictate when you pull a guy. Gavin pretty much on the ropes early in the game and threw of stress filed pitches. Once he got to the 5th you consider it a job well done. Letting him flail in the wind at the end was pointless. Totally agree, as soon as Getz got on, I would have pulled him. Of course, not having a 2nd lefty in the pen you can count on hurts.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 5, 2010 -> 02:58 AM) anyone else feel like the royals are simply a better team? i'm not just basing it on tonight either, they have a pretty solid lineup compared to the sox. Their lineup sucks!! Their bottom 4 hitters are awful. Their middle relief sucks. Their starting pitching isn't much worse than ours though. I'd take Pods over Pierre in a heartbeat though.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 5, 2010 -> 01:57 AM) Fack. It's games like this where it sucks to be watching on the intrawebs. See, I disagree. I'd rather not have to watch this and just follow it online instead of being tempted to watch the game.

Time to watch Lost. Ozzie is just leaving Gavin in to die right now. Someone might want to wake him up.

6-1....terrible game all around. Gavin's slider is garbage.

Haha, and now Santos starts warming up.

4-1 just like that. Throwing batting practice this inning, as that slider isn't really moving.

Game slipping away fast. All these mistakes were bound to catch up with Gavin.

I had no idea how dominate Contreras has been as a reliever with the Phils.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 5, 2010 -> 02:50 AM) Why do you say that? Cause Getz was easily going to steal, and then you have 3 solid hitters up for KC.

AJP is just a hideous catcher.
