X-rays negative for Dye...thank freaking God!

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 3, 2009 -> 03:55 AM) Ok, he has one good point in two days. It was sarcasm, I hope you know, as Contreras has never thrown a curveball.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 3, 2009 -> 03:53 AM) Enough with the Lillibridge and Contreras already. Not sure what you do but this division is up for grabs and they need to do something. We're a bad decision by Owens away from having a possible lineup with Owens, Lillibridge, and Podsednik in the same lineup. We're not very good right now, but credit to the 4 guys at the end of the bullpen for maximizing our win totals so far.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 3, 2009 -> 03:53 AM) Mike Huff is a dips***. That is all. Disagree...his observation of Jose's curveball was awesome.

So they hit 3 of our hitters, and possibly broke Dye's hand...and not one retaliation pitch thrown.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 3, 2009 -> 03:43 AM) If you are right about Dye being out til June, we're done. We can't overcome the loss of Dye, not with our bench. With the glaring hole in the 5th pitcher spot, and now possibly two holes in the outfield....if this team is going to be under .500 this year, it's better they lose before the trade deadline than after. There's a ton of players that could be moved at the deadline this year and be beneficial for the growth of the organization.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 3, 2009 -> 03:33 AM) If Dye is out for any amount of time, if we want to try and win, Alexei has to move to the OF. I couldn't agree more. I just saw a highlight of Dye's HBP, and I'll be shocked if we see him get another at bat before June.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 3, 2009 -> 03:31 AM) The Cubs offense has the potential to be really potent. However, they have no bench and they have no pen. Jim Hendry has done very little of value since stealing A-Ram from the Pirates. The Cubs bench is pretty damn good. Hoffpauir's a very good back-up 1B, and Miles is a good 2b/SS guy. Gathright gives them speed/defense in CF, and Hill seems like a suitable back-up catcher.

QUOTE (scenario @ May 3, 2009 -> 03:30 AM) Josh actually runs pretty well. What I can't understand is Cox's decision making process. He'll send a guy like AJ or Thome when it's obviously not a good idea... And he holds up Getz and Fields when sending them seems like a no-brainer. WTH? Jeff Cox is a terrible 3rd base coach. He's worse than Joey Cora was. Also, our bunting and base running has gotten worse since Cox took over.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 3, 2009 -> 03:30 AM) Exactly. Yet another POS scrub on our roster. We have too damn many guys like this (thank God we have one less in Owens). It's going to get even worse if Dye goes to the DL. I bet KW is really, really regretting the Swisher trade now.

Lillibridge, you f***ing suck!!! Please go to the Frontier League.

Please post any updates here. It worked well for Quentin a few weeks ago, so hopefully he's ok.

He's going to regret this move big time after the Dye incident.

Well, that's just terrible news about Dye. I'd actually be interested in moving Quentin to RF, Fields to LF, and Betemit to 3B. We can't go with Pods in RF and Phillips or Kroeger in LF.

So Dye got hit by a pitch? How bad did it look? If he goes to the DL, KW has to make an acquisition. There's no one in the organization that can play RF. We've had some horrible injury luck so far this year.

Just a terrible sports day so far: Sox lose, Bulls about to lose, Cubs win, Tigers win, Cardinals lose, and Twins about to win.

What a terrible, terrible shot by Gordon in that situation. This game's over.

I love you Kalapse It's more proof that Fields in the 2nd spot is not working!!

QUOTE (Brian @ May 3, 2009 -> 02:51 AM) Why would Ben even jump into him? He's not gonna block his shot. I like Gordon, but his defense has been just terrible today.

Nice D...keep fouling Ray Allen, he might miss a FT once every 10 attempts.

QUOTE (Cubano @ May 3, 2009 -> 01:43 AM) I do not understand why the Sox opted to pitch to Blalock intead of M. Byrd. in the 4th. He should had walked to first intentionally. Wouldn't have mattered. Contreras had NOTHING, and it was just a matter of time before Texas started to crush him. Contreras needs to be sent to the glue factory, and receive a 2005 WS DVD as a parting gift.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 3, 2009 -> 01:37 AM) It's just too damn humid out there. Just wait until we get into a nice hot, dry climate this lineup will explode. Oh but not too hot or windy or cloudy, nobody likes clouds. Exactly, so many damn excuses being made. They're just not generating enough offense in the first few innings, and by rule, it makes it harder to score as you get into the bullpen. The Sox have been much better against the opposition's bullpen this year compared to the past few years.

Salmons having just a terrible all-around game.

So 3 hits in the first 5 innings tonight. Our offense has been absolutely pathetic in the early innings of games.

QUOTE (scenario @ May 3, 2009 -> 01:31 AM) Every team that wins the World Series has a magical season. True....funny that Tampa had a magical season and still didn't win it all. Their pitching staff this year looks like ours from 2006.
