Nix missed that slider by a foot. Playing him against a RHP when you have Betemit on the bench is just so freaking dumb.

QUOTE (tommy @ May 5, 2009 -> 12:07 AM) Ok, second time around, let's show the world its possible to hit off Greinke! Screw that, I just want to see some fight from this team. All these minor injuries have just destroyed any rhythm they might have.

Something Colon's going to have to do is change the eye level. Every pitch is at nearly the same height due to never throwing offspeed pitches. Even if it's just to waste a pitch, going low with the curve can do wonders for him.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 4, 2009 -> 11:03 PM) ive been out of town for almost a week...but in what f***ed up world did i come back to where scott podsednik is a right fielder? It was a terrible played week of baseball. We won 3 games that we honestly had no reason to win. Lots of our batters continue to get HBP, and we haven't hit anyone.

And Pods just misjudged a deep liner. Seriously KW, apologize to the fans and send him to the glue factory.

3-0 KC...Colon's trying to break the record for most 2 strike hits allowed in a game.

QUOTE (Drew @ May 4, 2009 -> 10:56 PM) Podsednik in right. Fatty is keeping us in this game single-handedly. Fatty's allowed 5 hits and retired 7 batters.

At least we won't lose 1-0 and blame it all on Pods.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 4, 2009 -> 11:53 PM) At this point it's on Ozzie, he needs to know his f***ing personnel. His use of the personnel this season has been really bad. Not exactly putting players in the position to succeed. Of course, a Little League coach couldn't put Lillibridge in a position to succeed.

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 4, 2009 -> 11:52 PM) hes a horrible, horrible baseball player and its an absolute joke he's even on the team let alone in the lineup on a somewhat consistent basis Yep, he's the worst starter in baseball and one of the most overmatched players I've had the chance to see get more than a handful of at bats. Aren't "grinders" supposed to handle the bat well?

And that's the 3rd hit-and-run that Lillibridge has blown this year. What an absolute disgraceful piece of s***.

You'll never believe this...Javy was cruising along with a 3-0 lead, and then gave up 4 runs in the 6th inning.

Yay...single by Pods, as Callaspo looked like my grandma on the liner.

Greinke is putting on an absolute clinic. It sucks some team didn't trade for him 2 years ago and get him out of this division.

Someone check Theriot's bat for some cork! Cubs offense should be ridiculous come summer.

Nice pitch by Colon. Pods 1 Sox 0

QUOTE (chiguy79 @ May 4, 2009 -> 11:44 PM) Oh wait, once Dewayne Wise comes back we will be a powerhouse. Wise is a superstar with the bat compared to Pods/Owens/Lillibridge

QUOTE (chiguy79 @ May 4, 2009 -> 11:43 PM) It is just pathetic that the sox can't get better OFs than Podsednik and Lillibridge, I think we need to start a season ticket holder write in campaign or something because it is just ridiculous to have such crap on the MLB team when the fans fill the park and paid the 10% increase in ticket prices to get rewarded with a team that is substandard. Who says they can't? Maybe that's just who KW and Ozzie want on the team? For everyone out there who complained we only score via homer, I hope you can appreciate this type of lineup.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ May 4, 2009 -> 10:41 PM) Pods should not be anywhere near this team, this team is awful. While this team isn't awful (yet), couldn't agree more that he shouldn't be anywhere near the team. It's a f***ing joke.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 4, 2009 -> 11:40 PM) get this 1-2 pitch off the plate bartolo, otherwise it'll be another double It's AJP catching...of course it's right down the plate.

And Pods makes an error in RF. Screw you Ozzie and KW. This game's just about over.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ May 4, 2009 -> 10:37 PM) DP would be nice here Pitching away from the defensive positioning there by giving it to Jacobs on outer half.

Greinke's making our hitters look silly on his breaking pitch. The advanced scouting with regards to the Sox is definitely saying "throw a full count offspeed pitch".

Was Thome close to hitting it out?

QUOTE (kristofer @ May 4, 2009 -> 10:25 PM) i don't understand why ozzie won't use ramirez in CF, nix at SS, getz at 2B and fields at 3B. obviously fields is hurting right now, however that should be the line up all year round. it gives us our most potent offensive ability. Because the Sox think Alexei is their SS for the next 5 years.
