Whew, we caught a break there!

Wise looking much better. Time for Getz to hit a line drive.

Way too many freaking home run swings. That's not going to work in this weather.

When can Corky play again?

Mark's change-up is fantastic today.

Keep it close Mark!

QUOTE (Sox It To Em @ Apr 12, 2009 -> 07:00 PM) Thome Ks looking. Looks like the offense is back to its old ways. This is the worst I've seen Thome in his time with the Sox with regards to taking strikes and swinging at balls.

Quentin flies out to the fence in CF. The ball's just dying to that part of the park. Blackburn has NOTHING!

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ Apr 12, 2009 -> 07:51 PM) People complain about Thome-Dye-Konerko being station to station, so what's Alexei's excuse? This team is just brain dead on the bases. I guess it's hard to blame Jeff Cox for everything, as it's amazing that so many of them have terrible instincts on the bases.

Fields grounds out. We're the only team that can't get to third on a single on a hit and run.

Ugh...Getz is not hitting the ball hard at all. He really should be the #9 hitter in the order.

Nice hit by Wise..keep it going Getz.

Nice eye by Alexei...how about a hit-and-run here?

QUOTE (tommy @ Apr 12, 2009 -> 06:41 PM) I think Alexei and Wise will get some confidence from breaking their slumps yesterday. Agreed, but AJP's pretty hopeless right now. Just a terrible approach by him at the plate.

QUOTE (tommy @ Apr 12, 2009 -> 06:39 PM) Good inning Mark, time for 7-9 I think our 7-9 will do some damage today.

Good location by Buehrle that inning....Alexei's going to have to work on his throws from SS.

QUOTE (GREEDY @ Apr 12, 2009 -> 07:35 PM) Personally, I f***ing hope Deep Dish lands in the minors with Jerry Owens. or go to Japan with Owens and become a delicatessen.

QUOTE (tommy @ Apr 12, 2009 -> 07:30 PM) I know its really early but I enjoyed the game yesterday where I didn't have to watch Thome, Dye, Paulie swing at the fences in that order. Those 3 absolutely have to be broken up from batting in succession.

Thome's pitch recognition is real poor right now. He swung at a 3-0 pitch in the dirt.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 12, 2009 -> 03:27 AM) Marmol is sensational. Everyone else in that bullpen is not. He's not going to be able to pitch every game though. 4 appearances in 5 games for him.

Ryan Braun just missed two of the easiest hanging sliders you'll ever see. Also, who the hell did Carlos Marmol sleep with? He gets more close calls from umpires than anyone in baseball.

Unreal...since when has Soriano been clutch? You have to bounce that first pitch up to him.

Cubs tie it in the 7th on a play that wasn't even close at first, but they called Soriano safe.

Brewers leaving Bush in to die. He's the king of late inning crooked numbers, but I guess they decided to let him lose the game for them.

Good job Thornton!
