Wow, Rangers are just taking it to the Sox.

Sweet, hit the #9 hitter to bring up Kinsler. Hawk is definitely the MVP of this game.

QUOTE (G&T @ May 9, 2009 -> 01:04 AM) Until Lilly realizes that he can't hit homers, he will fail. And yes, he does think he can hit for power. No..until the Sox realize he's not a Major League player, he will fail. There's no excuse for him to be in the majors, and it's pathetic that the Sox are making it about the adjustments he's not making. You can't try and just force someone to be on a MLB roster to try and show an immediate return on a trade.

Leadoff double on a terrible pitch by Contreras with 2 strikes.

It sure seems that Justin Verlander is back. Tigers are going to be very difficult to beat out in the AL Central this year.

Another awesome AB for Lillibridge. It just seems some games that our offense has no focus/intensity at the plate.

Solid AB by Nix, but flies out. I can't believe Harrison's going on 8 innings of shut out ball vs the Sox.

Aramis Ramirez just did a lot of damage to his left shoulder. Be shocked if he didn't dislocate it.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 9, 2009 -> 01:49 AM) he's a starter by trade, not a reliever. you drafted him with a first pick - at least give him a chance. You don't promote players just cause they're a 1st round pick in baseball. He had a near 6 ERA in the Intl League. It will probably be Richard that takes his place in the rotation, even though I'll believe it when I see it.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 9, 2009 -> 12:44 AM) I wouldn't mind seeing Broadway get a start. Gross...he's another terrible player that has no business being on a MLB roster. The options should be Poreda, Whisler, or Torres. If you don't reward the players who are performing in the minors, then KW is a freaking hypocrite.

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ May 9, 2009 -> 01:42 AM) anyone really suprised here.... sorry to say this was going to happened no matter what cause ozzie that blind to see that contreas isnt at all right and this isnt helping this teams confidence. If we're not going to score 4 runs or more tonight, I hope Jose gives up 20 runs. He's just not a MLB caliber starter anymore, and doesn't give the Sox a good chance to win his starts.

The worst part about all of this is Ozzie will say these were unearned, so Jose shouldn't be punished for them.

And a wild pitch. Why in the hell would AJP call for that pitch there with a runner on 3rd? The booing is getting a lot louder.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 9, 2009 -> 01:37 AM) Hawk is having an outstanding day behind the microphone right now. This is outstanding. Yep, and anyone that comes into this thread and says we're being too hard on Contreras should shut up and listen to what they're saying.

Nice play by Nix to get one out.

Hawk's about to lose it on Contreras. I've never heard him so down about a Sox player.

Strike 1 down the plate, not called.

Bases loaded for Kinsler. This is so painful, make it stop Ozzie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet, another terrible call by an umpire. 1st and 2nd for Texas.

Fields makes an error on a routine play. Wake up guys!

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 9, 2009 -> 12:26 AM) He's using his forkball about half as often this year than in year's past. From ~21% down to ~10%. I hate you

Strike out, throw out. Quentin is pulling off everything, it's getting awful.

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ May 9, 2009 -> 12:22 AM) contreas body langaguage says it all no confience and walking back dugout like he knows this is it. It's this simple...if he's not willing to throw his fork ball, then don't pitch him. It's similar to if Floyd didn't want to throw his curve.

Yay, still in it after a 4-6-3. 5 runs again in the 1st, please!
