I love this umpire!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 04:09 AM) Do you pitch to Sizemore or Choo? Choo

QUOTE (SockMe @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 04:08 AM) BRENT MOREL BRENT MOREL BRENT MOREL! I was very underwhelmed by him during ST. He seems pretty weak at the plate.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 04:08 AM) Did AJ not see it? What happened? He's usually not terrible. Defensively, he's awful. However, he is just having some strange plays tonight.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 03:06 AM) Damnit AJ gotta catch that. Absolutely terrible effort by him tonight.

That 92 mph fastball is just sad to watch now.

Awful all around there. There's no rhythm to anything our players do.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 04:01 AM) So, what do we do about Teahen if he sucks all year? Get Herm to get Crede healthy? Dayan? Ugh. Omar Vizquel will get 300 of the most beautiful at bats

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 02:58 AM) So when Ozzie has speed on the bases with the possibility of getting a guy in scoring position, he doesn't run them... yep, keep running guys with 2 strikes! Nothing like distracting the hitters.

QUOTE (nastymasty21 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 03:55 AM) id pinch hit nix Agreed, I don't get why we're letting the pitcher bat.

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 03:50 AM) Paulie is one of the best in the game at picking errant throws out of the dirt. He definitely saves us some runs with that ability. All 1B are good at that it seems now. Gone are the days of Frank Thomas playing 1B.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 03:49 AM) BTW i'd like to note its a real shame we couldn't get Santos his first win. Two very encouraging things tonight: Santos looked great and Gavin was well ahead of how he looked to start last season.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 02:47 AM) So you are saying 1st baseman don't really need range, right? In which case, Paulie is pretty good than? I'd say he's better than most but his lack of range keeps him out of the well above average to elite category. No, I was being sarcastic. His range is mediocre given his athletic ability issues. That grounder by Hafner was a play that he needed to try and get his body in front of.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 02:47 AM) Like what Quentin did? home runs don't count!

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 03:44 AM) everybody needs to shut up about paulie's D. he's one of the best in the league. Range is a very overrated defensive ability 1st basemen need

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 03:44 AM) I doubt there was anything Quentin could have done. That was a crazy bounce. The ball hit the side of part of the fence and shot to the side. Bigger issue was that after throwing the slider on the outside, they then went with the outside fastball. Thornton's so much better when he throws the high fastball.

Konerko's poor effort in not getting his body in front of the ball cost us.

Someone should tell Hawk that this umpire has been quite Sox friendly tonight.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 02:32 AM) that's why pierre steals on the first pitch, then if you desperately want to bunt, bunt him to 3rd. I have no CLUE why you'd bunt a speedster from 1st to 2nd while taking the bat out of the hands of one of our best hitters. Yep, you might as well have Jim Thome leading off if you're going to have Beckham bunt in those situations.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 03:29 AM) Carlos shuts some people up!!! And makes me look smart!!! I don't know how anyone wouldn't think Beckham and Quentin are the two Sox hitters who have potential to be above average.

Suck on that, small ball fans

Carlos!! I still don't forgive the bunt, but that's great to see.

You have to be f***ing kidding me. I HATE YOU OZZIE GUILLEN!

Very encouraging by Santos, let's get him a win!

Filthy by Santos!
