There's 1 triple against this defense.

3 of the worst offenses innings of the season. At least the sweet sound of Mike Huff's voice can overshadow this anemic offense. Pods looks SO OLD! His bat speed is pretty pathetic as well.

This game might be over in 2 hours.

Mauer homers in his first AB...great!

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 1, 2009 -> 11:52 PM) He's favoring his heal, it's obvious. If that's all he's got then he should be on the DL. Yep, I hate to say this, but Betemit seems like a much better option. Feldman's destroying our hitters right now with that weak sinker.

If Thome can't beat that out, he can't be in the lineup.

Buerhle can't just throw meatballs down the plate against this lineup. If he starts off like he did last game against Toronto, he won't make it out of the 3rd.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 2, 2009 -> 12:42 AM) Great analogy by Mike Huff. "I think I saw some movement on that fastball." Ok, it's Mike Huff....and I hope he has a day job.

3 very soft hit grounders. We have to be among the lowest scoring teams in the first inning all season. Someone on radio said we've scored in first inning only 4 times this year. Who's this announcer?

How close was Hanley to tying the game with 2 outs in the 9th? Says fly out to deep center.

Was Theriot's homer far? Also, did Gload just almost homer?

QUOTE (kane0730 @ May 1, 2009 -> 07:37 PM) It would be great if the Cubs hang on and lose this game today. They were HUGE favorites (-$300). The panic level would reach a new high for the year. You should know better than posting this!!

Ugh, Theriot hits a grand slam. The Marlins have some terrible relievers in their bullpen.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 1, 2009 -> 08:03 PM) Despite my annoyance with having to have him start in CF, thinking about watching his WS HR in person still makes me smile. When he hit it, the first thing I was hoping for was a double. Never did I think he had enough power to get it out at that spot on the field.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 1, 2009 -> 08:34 PM) I was at the game where Terrero hit a monster HR underneath the Fundamentals thing against the Rays. The Jamie Shields game. One of the most "out of nowhere" homers I can remember. Of course the biggest one like that will likely be shown during the Sox highlights tonight with our #9 hitter. Give 'em hell Pods!

QUOTE (Chi Town Sox @ May 1, 2009 -> 07:31 PM) I know Zambrano a pretty good pinch hitting pitcher...but pinch hitting him with 2 on and 1 out before taking anyone off of your bench!?!?! Obviously they think they are in for a long day ! They're a man short already due to Aramis being injured. I don't see the problem with it, as Zambrano has as much power as anyone on that roster besides Soriano/Aramis. Harden had a terrible start today (about time for a DL stint), but the Marlins pitcher is awful!

For the eye test, Swisher was the tallest midget defensively. I would say Owens would be 2nd, with Mackowiak dead last.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 1, 2009 -> 08:08 PM) Another thing to think about: given how much Ozzie likes to get his new toys into the lineup will Chris Getz get even a single start against a left handed pitcher this season now that Jayson Nix is around? Ozzie said last Friday that he really didn't want to have Getz face lefty pitchers. So the simple answer to your question is: very rarely

I knew Cubs fans were going to love Heilman. I guess Amezaga saved the game for the Marlins in the 9th with 2 on, 2 outs.

Can we get a rain delay this wknd in Boston to rest our legs?

Mercy...never been so happy to see a missed FT.

This game is f***ing amazing. Not to mention having the over in this game.

Oh Hinrich, how I hate you so much. Least clutch player in history.

With Pierce out, Boston has 2 guys you have to defend on the perimeter. Well done again VDN. Hunter sucks, get him out of there!

Loudest I've yelled "oh s***" in a long, long time.
