Haha, of course. Pierre might have lost 3 steps. Great job KW and Ozzie!! Can't wait to see what awful move you make next.

As Boers and Bernsy said last week, if you have Vizquel and Kotsay in your lineup BY CHOICE, then you deserve to lose. This Texas team is missing Kinsler and Cruz, and they're probably going to sweep us.

ALEXEI WALKS!! Meat of the order coming up.

Nice level swing by AJP there. Hopefully the worst is behind him.

Keep dropping that back shoulder Kotsay

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 02:10 AM) Just one? I have like 8 this year. They all suck. And while Rios is a really solid player while hitting like this (and I'm serious there), it's not like he's got a 950+ OPS for his 12 mil. I laughed when Teahen was one of the choices for most surprising player. You mean the guy hitting .273 with 2 homers? Crap, how low were people's expectations for him?

OUT

Peavy's finishing off his pitches much better now, which is great to see.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 12:54 AM) Ozzieball. Does Hawk really believe the umpires have a conspiracy against the Sox? Yes he does...he's also very impressed with Juan Pierre's all around game. Nothing like a one tool player.

1 f***ing hit in 3 innings against a pitcher who's down 7 mph with their velocity. Who's the fall guy when we get swept on this road trip?

The most intriguing storyline the rest of the way is if Ozzie and KW will have the balls to DFA Vizquel.

Holy s***, Pierre just needs to go back to Louisiana.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 01:49 AM) As much as I hate Terry Boers talking about his "people" who tell him all the rumors, maybe he is actually right about this one. Peavy has yet to prove me wrong on it. Terry Boers is almost always right, as his people are guys like Rick Hahn, etc.

Playing for a contender? San Diego was competitive for the most part when he was there, and let's not forget he has about as bad of a reputation in big games as Javy Vazquez.

Jim Thome has an OPS around 1.15....yuck

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 01:48 AM) Nothing will make me happier than a nice rest of the game from Peavy, which includes good velocity, location, and movement. Agreed, I'm sure we're still all rooting for him (besides jphat maybe).

QUOTE (bobryansson @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 01:47 AM) So, I was thinking, which is dangerous, does anyone think the "Peavy is injured," rumor is a way call his time off (DL) and visit to Charlotte (Birmingham?) "rehab." No, I think he's truly injured. The first red flag was Ozzie having to defend him during ST with the media.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 01:45 AM) This team is making the 2007 team seem exciting. I'll take this squad thanks to Santos and Beckham.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 01:45 AM) I don't know when, but he was healthy last year in his several starts for the Sox. I don't think he has aged that quickly over seven months. I still didn't think he looked overly impressive last season with the Sox. His fastball wasn't overly crisp, but we excused it cause of the lay off.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 12:44 AM) I'd consider it. I absolutely would do it, as Zambrano at least throws a sinker and doesn't have huge health concerns like Peavy. I also think the whole switch to the AL has destroyed Peavy's confidence.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 12:43 AM) I actually think Harden is worse than Peavy right now. Worse velocity and location. We're just not hitting anything. agreed, he has nothing. Ugh, this team is just terrible and boring.

So would you trade Peavy for Zambrano now?

I don't even care about Peavy's contributions to the 2010 team. I'm a hell of a lot more concerned that we have the AL version of Barry Zito on our hands. If Peavy is a below average starter in the AL, we're absolutely screwed.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 29, 2010 -> 12:39 AM) That Maggs guy is pretty awesome. Detroit ain't beatin Minny this year, but at least they'll be fun to watch for Tigers fans. They'll get someone decent from the Yankees when they trade Damon to them.

I feel like we're watching the battle of Sammy Sosa against Mark McGwire on the mound. Where did both of these guys fastball go?
