Good result, but we might not want to challenge Morneau too often like that.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:26 AM) did Swisher just effing fall He's lucky he didn't blow out his knee.

After yesterday's sluggish game, am I allowed to predict a Twins blowout tonight?

Ugh, Dye wasn't even close to those pitches. Seems like it's been ages since we scored in the first inning.

I wonder how much the weather is impacting OC. As people point out, he doesn't look comfortable in the cold at all.

QUOTE (Soxpranos @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 12:03 AM) Mike Cameron makes his 2008 debut with the Brewers and doubles in his first at bat vs the Cubs. Cameron looks awfully skinny.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 10:04 PM) Can someone fill me in on the number of times this exact lineup has been used this season? We've got to be approaching last season's total for the most frequent lineup, if we haven't passed it already. I'm pretty sure we've almost tripled it.

I'll take Freel over what we have at 2nd base. Heck, I'd take Todd Walker over what we have at 2nd base. Trade MacDougal for him, and call it a day.

QUOTE (lord chas @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 01:07 AM) can you ever win the game for us thome? Sure...when we're 20 games out of first.

I miss the old thread, as I could always count on updated polls. What's the latest poll numbers for NC and Ind?

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 11:54 PM) A) Game should have never made it to extra innings. B) Game should have never made it to the 11th innng. Well, then the Orioles fans would be pissed that Jones hit the top of the fence, and then was thrown out at 3rd on a fluke play.

I wonder what type of energy the Sox will have the next few days. If we're tired and fatigued from watching, I'm sure they are also.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 12:50 AM) That's too bad. I wanted to get this game completed, win or lose. At this point, snatching a temporary draw from the jaws of victory feels pretty bad. Juan Uribe tied a game in extra innings...I'm sure the Orioles fans are pissed also.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 12:49 AM) They probaby could resume this game when the Sox go back to Baltimore with the Sox being the home team. June 23rd seems like the definite day.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 12:48 AM) Sure he is, fathom. Think of all the adjustments Jim makes to game situations, how he's being pitched, etc. You mean how when he hooks a one strike fastball 400 feet foul, he's out in front of the 2 strike offspeed pitch that even my grandma knows is coming?

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 12:45 AM) atleast Dye can pinch hit for Anderson when the game resumes. Like Anderson will even be on the roster come June?

QUOTE (Colorado Sox Fan @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 12:45 AM) Should I start worrying about Jenks? Yes

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 11:41 PM) what happens if by the time the game is replayed, the orioles revamp their entire bullpen?? Unless they trade for Rivera, etc., I'm not that worried.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 11:38 PM) so that means what we pick it back up in the 12th or do we start it over? what are the rules about this? Yes, the 12th. On the bright side, they've used almost all of their relievers.

QUOTE (rudylaw @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 11:35 PM) That was the dumbest thing Ozzie has ever done. That was baseball retarded. Nothing will ever replace leaving Contreras in to allow 10 runs vs Boston last year when you're trying to showcase him.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 11:37 PM) However I don't see that happening with Baltimore not coming back to Chicago.... Read my post above yours.

Game's suspended....at least we didn't lose!

QUOTE (AddisonStSox @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 11:35 PM) I don't believe Baltimore comes here again. They will complete this game if they have to stay till midnight. June 23rd would be a perfect date. Both teams are off, and Orioles face the Cubs in Chicago on the 24th.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Apr 28, 2008 -> 11:34 PM) So now what? I mean its just going to keep raining, I think. What happens if they can't get this game in? Would it resume in the 12th if it's played at another date? Yes it would, and at this point, I would rather that's what happens.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Apr 29, 2008 -> 12:31 AM) 1 out, man on 3rd in the 10th inning. We have a guy who is not exaclty a contact guy. So naturally in the American League, we try a squeeze. What a moronic call. The infield and outfield are drawn in. Just see what happens. The man is at third already. And if you miss the bunt, the threat is over. At least if you swing away, you have 2 chances. As I said in the game thread, my biggest issue with the call was the obvious pitch pattern they were using on Anderson.
