Yeah Ozzie, keep playing Betemit at 1B. Loving Nix at least.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 4, 2009 -> 12:12 AM) The Sox didn't deserve to win when Ozzie filled out the line-up card. I couldn't agree more. It just seems like there's no rhythm to this team so far. We should be grateful they have the record that they do, as they've not lost many games that they really SHOULD have won. We have won quite a few games that we should have lost.

Terrible, we don't deserve to win this game. Harrison pitched Quentin brilliantly in that AB.

That easily could have been called strike 3.

Wow, almost a hell of a play by Davis.

QUOTE (Reddy @ May 4, 2009 -> 01:06 AM) did you guys even watch the pitch sequence? he couldn't have done anything in that at bat. terrible inconsistency on the ump's part The ump didn't make him chase a 58 footer. If he's not going to rake against LHP, then he's a way below average overall hitter.

Just a terrible AB by Fields. Huge disappointment so far at the plate.

Wow, that 1-1 pitch wasn't even close.

You absolutely, positively don't send Alexei there. Not down 3 and with Andruw's arm in LF.

Very impressed with Nix so far. He looks like he can actually do damage at the plate.

Solid smash single by Lillibridge. One time here Nix or Fields!

Who's this pitcher batting?

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 3, 2009 -> 11:56 PM) Are Pod's legs hurt? He's not even running things out anymore. Cause he's not fast anymore! It's sad watching someone have to play who's so washed up. It's like watching Griffey Jr. play last year, but with someone who had even less talent to start with.

Nix's defense has been the bright spot of the game so far. 3-0 Rangers It's time to put Nix at SS and move Alexei to CF.

Danks has really been hit hard his last two starts. His fastball seems a little less and way too many pitches up in the zone.

Oh gosh, Dye's not going to be playing tomorrow. Does this mean Lillibridge is going to be playing in CF and facing Greinke?

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ May 3, 2009 -> 11:44 PM) Matt Harrison is literally owning us right now. And his ERA was literally over 7.00 before the game started. He will literally seriously finish under 5 at this rate. It's fine though, as I doubt he goes more than 4 innings in this Spring Training game.

Kalapse, another game where our first 4 innings is abysmal. Please keep those stats updated once in a while.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 4, 2009 -> 12:40 AM) How do you know we didn't? Does Jones coming out and saying time and time again that he wanted to play work with Rudy Jaramillo not jive with you? Makes sense to me and it seems to be working. IIRC, KW ruled it out right away. But I agree with you, it was a great decision.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 3, 2009 -> 11:37 PM) There literally were no CF's available this past offseason better than Jerry Owens. Yep, I honestly am shocked we didn't pursue Andruw. Oh well, shouldn't challenge the righty with a lefty on deck and 2 outs. Story of this series so far.

Fields needs to learn how to put the glove right on the bag. It's funny, but AJP on the radio on Wednesday was saying that he's had complaints this year about how our infielders put the tag down on a steal attempt.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 4, 2009 -> 12:33 AM) You stay classy, Qwerty. Sweet, I'll start saying STEROIDS or COCAINE for players I've been told juiced.

Our players just don't seem to be into games. Another runner steals 3rd when our pitcher/middle infielders have their head up their ass.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 3, 2009 -> 11:29 PM) Did Fields blow a tire there? He was doubled up by a mile and they play seemed pretty slow in developing. I think he tweaked his knee again a week ago. He's been hobbling down the line all week. It would also explain why he seems incapable of driving the ball.
