These guys have no poise with RISP.

Terrible AB by Thome...I really wish Dye was our #4 hitter.

Balta...I just thought of the awesome Quentin slam vs Shields last season....that was a great moment.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 02:52 AM) Anyone who's watching, Farmer/DJ just agreed the ump missed the call on Josh, are they right? I thought he was out. I think the umps have been very, very kind to the Sox.

Thanks for not bringing in Balfour to face Fields.

Wow, that was freaking awesome!

Excellent...good job Ozzie and Getz.

LET THAT HIT YOU! The book on Getz is definitely to throw it inside.

And there's a hit! This better be a hit-and-run.

Brian Anderson's swing is uglier than ever. He's jamming himself on the swing, causing his bat speed to be non-existent.

Amazing location by Thornton on those last two batters.

Strikeout! Navarro's up...hopefully Quentin's playing shallow.

How many double plays on the ground have we turned this season? How about a 5-4-3?

And he walks him...that was awful pitching by Thornton.

Why are our pitchers so scared to throw Pena a slider with 2 strikes?

Wow...Pena with a great pitch to hit on 1-2 and fouled it off.

I'm almost willing to say, at this point, and it pains me to think it, that Pods couldn't do any worse than our current rotation of AAAA stars and never-will-be's in CF... I agree...have you seen my posts stating I want Juan Pierre on this team? I never thought I'd say that either.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 02:28 AM) I remember it constantly being discussed how dangerous a combination Dye-Thome-Konerko can make in the lineup. It also has to be one of the (if not THE) slowest 1-2-3 punches in the entire MLB. Those guys aren't the issue...the issue with our offense is that our leadoff position is 3-34 this season, and our CF position has been worthless.

Crawford struggling with that fastball against LHP.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 01:27 AM) Boy, we are something special on offense... The Pods era is coming soon...we need a Y2Jericho-esque countdown.

QUOTE (SouthsideDon48 @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 01:26 AM) Did it look like Konerko just re-injured his hand in his last at-bat??? It looked like he was reacting in pain when he made two foul hits. Noticed that also, especially on the ball he fouled off after the spinner. He couldn't keep his hand on the bat through the zone.

Holy crap, Dye is so slow. Thrown out easily at 2nd base. I'm so sick of this team making outs on the bases, especially since Dye wasn't busting it out of the box.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 01:14 AM) edit: wrong board. ROFL How in the world did that happen?

Yes, good range for Dye!! On to the 8th inning.

Ump expanding the zone helped out Dotel against Kapler. Big out here in Upton.
