QUOTE(kapkomet @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 01:02 PM) You won't like anyone throughout their Sox career. Is there any reason for this post? Honestly, this crap is getting old. It's a positive postgame thread, and I've complied with it. Nearly everyone on here is upset with Ramirez right now, but I think we need to step back and realize that we're not mad at him, but rather the position he's been put in.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 03:22 AM) My son already has it. LOL Do you tell your son horror stories starring Greg Walker?

Lincecum in for relief in the 4th inning.

Congrats to Ramirez on getting his first hit. I might be annoyed with him right now, but it doesn't mean I won't like him throughout his Sox career.

QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 02:41 AM) Game one was a normal title. I'm sorry, I thought it had a "clever" title.

I hope AJP plays tomorrow, and then let Hall face Robertson on Friday.

Well, that was an awful game. Can we try and change our luck and go back to the normal game thread titles??

QUOTE(Jordan4life @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 02:32 AM) Mayble will score 2-3 more runs and lose 7-5? Then we can hear once again about how this was a "positive" loss? Monday was a positive loss, as the team showed some energy. Even I can appreciate that.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 02:32 AM) Did that pitcher not know to just throw him breaking pitches and he will K?? It's Jorge Julio....one of the most underachieving pitchers I've ever seen.

Hey, congrats to Ramirez.

Please do good tomorrow BA, please!

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 02:29 AM) Marlins tore down the team and then rebuilt to win another one in short order.....Cards however... yeah they are just bad. Cards also have had major injury issues.

AJ's looked great at the plate besides that first AB.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 02:27 AM) Is there another team that won a championship and were riding high to drop off the face of the planet to become a laughing stock faster than the Sox have? Marlins, but that was a different situation. The Cardinals are looking pretty crappy now.

QUOTE(Jordan4life @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 02:26 AM) Not even two games in and I'm already sick of this team. I'm usually one of the more optimistic posters on this site. But this team has been a complete laughing stock since the all-star break of 2006. Damn, I sound like fathom. It's ok...I just don't see how this team will win a lot of games.

What a horrific inning of plate discipline. Just a shameful at bat for Dye.

QUOTE(SoxWS05 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 02:07 AM) without Granderson, detroit looks pretty slow. I was shocked to see Sheffield had more than 20 steals last year. None of their guys are as slow as our slowest guys though.

QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 02:05 AM) Do you think that top to bottom, we have the slowest lineup in the majors? This lineup would give the Red Sox's lineup a run for their money. Ellsbury and Lugo are faster than anyone we have....so yes.

So here's a question that hopefully we won't have to deal with, but could be a possible situation: what if the Sox struggle this year, and have the chance to trade O. Cabrera at the deadline.... Do they do that instead of hold out for the arbitration draft picks?

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 01:58 AM) But he can dominate our softball lineup, which highlights why the Indians are so much better of a team. Well, duh! It just infuriates me so much to think that we can up most of our farm system this offseason, spent a lot of money on relievers, sent down Fields for Crede....and we're still a bad team.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 01:55 AM) After two games, I am amazed at how much of a better team the Indians arethan the White Sox. On another none, where is our Fausto Carmona? And where was Fausto Carmona when the Indians needed him to close out the ALCS? The thing is, I don't think the Indians offense is very good. Sizemore's a stud, but besides him, it's nothing amazing. Hafner really sucks now. The Indians have the two aces at the top though. I still think the Tigers are far and away the best team in this division.

And where was Fausto Carmona when the Indians needed him to close out the ALCS? This Carmona would have no lasted 4 innings against the Red Sox. He had no control tonight, but we didn't let him implode.

Isn't this a guy that some people on here wanted the Sox to go after?

After the 2005 playoffs, I have a hard time ever complaining about the umpires in a Sox game. They were there for us when we needed them!

Crede looked quicker getting down the line than usual.
