Good job Quentin! Dye got lucky that ball hit him, as he would have been out.

Hopefully Quentin's not a double play machine. Against a sinker baller, he has his work cut out for him here.

Not exactly a good swing on the 2-0 pitch, and it's too bad we couldn't move Thome over to 3rd.

There we go! That ball sure went a lot longer than I thought it was going to.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 09:24 PM) Jim, if you swing at the first pitch again I'm going to punch you. And you could still kick my ass afterwards, but you'd deserve the punch.

Impressive stuff from Swisher.

QUOTE(Elgin Slim @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 09:21 PM) He's actually pitching quite well due to the fact he doesn't have his best stuff out there, doesn't have good control today, and can't throw the deuce for a strike. Get used to it...that's pretty much every game with him.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 09:20 PM) I would guess that Ozzie is just being nice... but there are plenty of people who think he did a good/great job last year. Yes, but that's why you don't talk to his parents.

Floyd's given us a chance to win....you can't ask for more from him. I'll take 5 innings, 3 runs every game.

Please tell me I heard wrong...did Ozzie say Floyd did a great job last year, and he's doing a great job again this year? Nice job by Swisher out there today.

QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 09:12 PM) I thought Ozuna can run he was out by plenty even with a hesitation by Renteria Someone who followed ST said that Ozuna doesn't look to have recovered his speed all the way after last year's injury. I really don't know why we need both him and Ramirez on the roster.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 09:10 PM) Wow, Hall flies to short center, inning over. Get AJ in there. I have no problem with Hall playing today. If there's an issue that should be focused on, it's that Hall should have never sniffed this roster this season.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 09:10 PM) Will this be the earliest no-hitter in a season ever? Nomo had one on 4/4.

Come on Ozuna...chased ball 3! And Hall with another terrible at bat.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 09:05 PM) i thought he got really pinched in that AB against jones...especially on the last pitch, god it seems like im commenting on the umps all the time Umpire was fine on that at bat.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 09:05 PM) that was a good piece of hitting by Inge. i get the feeling the kitties will get their first win today - they're getting some good wood on the ball. Floyd just doesn't seem to have the stuff that can fool hitters. Hopefully their middle of the order stays quiet, and our offense can fight back.

Who's going to have the higher ERA, Contreras or Floyd? First one under 6 will likely win.

Why do we keep throwing him fastballs?

Quentin!

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 08:59 PM) Dye looked like he didnt want to even try to get that one. He played that perfectly.

We need to get some momentum going in this game.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 08:57 PM) Well, now we need Pablo and Crede to take a few more pitches next inning. I predict we'll see an Ozuna bunt attempt.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 08:57 PM) And Dontrelle still has the f***ing no hitter with the trash he is throwing up there. Unbelievable. He's throwing about 2 mph faster than he did last year, and it seems it's sneaking up on our hitters a little bit.

Yuck....good at bat though by Quentin. I always wondered why the runner on 2nd doesn't let the ball hit him on such a routine double play ball.

Damn, he just missed keeping that fair.
