Bulls*** CB...that was a worse pitch than the one Pena took for a ball.

Excellent...way to get the demons erased from last night.

That a boy Getz!!

Alexei looks absolutely terrible. Very weak swings...be nice for Betemit to get a game or two.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 11:55 PM) We should of played Terrero against Shields. Good for you...that ball was launched

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 11:49 PM) f*** you CB Buckner That might have been the worst non-strike call I've seen.

Time to get tossed Ozzie.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 18, 2009 -> 12:49 AM) No sh*t. How do you call that a ball? He's the worst umpire in all of baseball. Not only that, but he's the most hated umpire among his peers.

And the umpire costs us a run. We really need to throw Pena offspeed pitches up in the count.

I freaking hate C.B. That was right down the middle!!!

It seemed like Thome crushed that ball, and it didn't go anywhere.

Not that anyone cares, but I'm in chat.

Mercy...this Tampa defense is amazing.

That's a pretty fantastic defensive team Tampa has out there.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 08:56 PM) Even if Marquez is a dud, which we can't possibly say yet, its still a good deal for the Sox. Removing Swisher's salary got us Viciedo, which alone is worth it. But we also got Nunez, and Betemit, who I think we'll see put up better numbers than Swish come the end of the year. We did have to give up Kanekoa unfortunately, but still a good deal for the Sox. How is Betemit going to put up better numbers than Swisher. Swisher's a lock to play 140 games now...Betemit, if he's lucky, will play 50.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 09:00 PM) seriously??? why?? Trying to avoid having the worst International League team in history!!

Cardinals lose...they should be 11-1 this season. Too bad they didn't have any money to spend on their bullpen (Fuentes).

Since when has Soriano been this clutch? Just a pathetic attempt by Larussa at winning this game. He went with his 3 worst relievers from the 5th inning on.

Really, what's up with the Cardinals bullpen today? They have 5 solid relievers, but they're going with M. Boggs, who was terrible last season in the majors.

Terrible managing by leaving in the lefty T. Miller to face Ramirez/Soto in a 2 run game. Righties destroy Miller.

Is this Walters loser the best the Cards have in the minors?

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 05:11 PM) i just hope that next year, we dont have such a slow team again. thome-dye-pk-aj,etc . when thome leaves at the end of the year, who will take his place? any options? Yes, Jermaine Dye

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 03:53 AM) The bad hop shows why strikeouts are nice in close games. It must have been adrenaline on opening day because he was hitting 96 consistently. He hasn't looked all that sharp since. If the pitch he threw to Bartlett was a fastball, then it's cause for concern. Honestly, there was a loop on the pitch. I think he was more of a get-me-over slider.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 02:46 AM) Not hard at all. He made one bad pitch, and that was hit hard by Bartlett. He needs to trust his hammer more with 2 strikes, as that needs to be his money maker.
