Well, at least Lillibridge won't be leading off next inning. Walker needs to get him to crowd the plate more, as he's so far off the plate, and pitchers throw it on the outside corner and he can't put a good swing on it.

Quick inning here...Alexei's swinging better, just needs to get the ball on the barrel more.

Oh crap, Lillibridge just made an amazing play to save one run.

Anyone in chat besides you Felix?

They're afraid to throw Corky a fastball now.

Fields with a nice hit, and then no patience shown by Quentin/Dye. Quentin's 1 for his last 17 after his homer tear in Tampa.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 11:25 PM) It's half running joke, half he's giving us some of the best at bats. I'm not kidding...he's seeing the ball great.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Apr 26, 2009 -> 12:24 AM) You know, we thought Wise was bad.... Owens is about 20x worse. It'd be a breath of fresh air to have Wise out there instead of Owens. Hopefully we DFA Owens and call up Prancer. Prancer sucks as well, but he's a ton better as a baseball player. Here's the problem...at least Ozzie has an idea Owens sucks. If we promote Pods, Ozzie might play him 80 pct of the time.

Nice inning for Buehrle...time to get middle of the order going again and get some men on for Corky.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 26, 2009 -> 12:23 AM) Owens sucks but at least he has the lefty vs. lefty excuse. Why can't a top prospect like Lillibridge hit the damn ball? His career (like Owens') is about over. HE'S NOT EVEN CLOSE TO BEING A TOP PROSPECT! He hit .220 in the minors last season.

QUOTE (Felix @ Apr 26, 2009 -> 12:22 AM) Don't forget about his defense too. I'm glad we marched Wise out there until he got hurt. It's possible Toronto doesn't even score in the 2nd inning if Anderson was in CF tonight.

Lillibridge flies out on one pitch. I still hate you Jerry Owens...just do something so you'll never play for this organization again.

I HATE YOU JERRY OWENS! Fouls out weakly to 3rd base on a 2-0 pitch.

2-2! Alexei's starting to heat up.

Nice single by Anderson to score a run

Good speed on the bases.

Double for Corky!!!! He has the best approach of anyone right now...it's fun to watch him bat.

Jermaine swinging and missing 85 mph fastballs right down the plate. This is just one of those stretches where everything seems to go wrong. I look forward to seeing the team play better baseball.

QUOTE (That funky motion @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 11:01 PM) And jogged after the bad jump. At least Stoney ripped on him.

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Apr 26, 2009 -> 12:00 AM) 1-0. Gonna be a long night. If Buehrle's throwing 83 mph coming off of 5 days rest, then I think there may be some validity to the concerns the Sox have about his shoulder.

Blooper falls in front of Owens, who had a terrible jump.

1st and 3rd, no outs on a flare by Millar. It's going to be a long night for Hawk.

What is gameday stating Buehrle's fastball is at? I really, really hope the WGN gun is off.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Apr 25, 2009 -> 11:52 PM) Why did we give our best player from yesterday a day off? Did he hit the ball too much? He was scratched

We've been awful at scoring runs in the first inning this year. It would be nice to get some momentum, as even Hawk seems to be waiting for something bad to happen.
