Another instance where it kills us not having a lefty ph on the bench.

So what happened on Thome's fly ball?

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 08:49 PM) Sox SERIOUSLY need to cut their losses with Uribe. The frustrating thing is that there are options available, that will make this team better. Put A-Ram at 2nd, Anderson in CF. If Ozzie still has it out for Anderson, put Swish in CF, Carlos in LF, and Aram at 2nd. Uribe needs to go. I know many of us have questioned it in the past, but I hope Ozzie can put his personal feelings aside and do what's best for the team. With a bad season putting him on the hot seat, I am optimistic Ozzie will.

Definitely an impressive outing by Masset. Sounds like he wasn't just trying to overpower the hitters.

It's going to be a long year for me if Zambrano pitches like this.

QUOTE(kjshoe04 @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 08:39 PM) Juan looked as bad as Crede. I'll never understand what KW was thinking with those two.

Do we even have a lefty ph off the bench? Maybe I'm forgetting someone, but it's scary that we faced a LHP today, and when they bring a righty in, we had no one to hit for Uribe.

I don't know how it happened, but Crede has become so unlikeable to me.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 08:34 PM) Impressive day off CC all things considered. Yep, we've outplayed them in all but one inning, and at this point in the season, that's ok with me.

The bottom of our order totally negates the top of the order's ability to work a pitcher's pitch count up.

At least Pablo's not playing...yuck!

QUOTE(JohnCangelosi @ Mar 31, 2008 -> 07:51 PM) As much as CC like to throw the fastball and Alexi is a fastball hitter, I believe Anderson should've gotten the start today. Anderson should be starting EVERY GAME.

I wish I could bet money on "A. Ramirez will be sent down to AAA by May". Oh well, at least it's nice to see some fight in the boys, and Dye hit one well.

Nice to see Thome get off to a good start. It's too bad Buehrle struggled in the 2nd....sounds like Cabrera's overrated defense already hurt us.

QUOTE(Jenksismyb**** @ Mar 30, 2008 -> 11:16 PM) Damn. Well Mr. Curry, thanks for making the 2008 NCAA Tournament something to watch. Too bad he couldn't hit a couple more shots in the 2nd half. Oh and thank you Bill Self. You prove yet again that even with the most talented roster in the entire nation, you lack the coaching IQ to understand the strengths of your team and the weaknesses of your opponent. It was a good game and at the end of the day they got the W, but damn this game should have been a 10-15 pt blow out with the size they have. Self outcoached McKillop big time down the stretch, especially as he kept Kaun and Collins in the game more than usual.

BTW, Davidson scored 6 points after that terrible timeout. As my brother just informed me, they had a TV timeout coming at the next dead ball also.

Nice effort by Davidson, really thought that McKillop was terrible during the last 9 minutes of the game.

Damn, we missed a Gus explosion there. Curry's sure tanking down the stretch.

Why in the hell did Davidson take Barr out of the game? Self playing Kaun and Collins over the last 5 minutes is going to end up winning this game for Kansas.

What a momentum killing timeout taken by McKillop there. They had a 4 pt lead with possession and the crowd behind them, and a minute later, they're down 1. Some more bad coaching, as they keep trying to take time off the clock. They've been much more successful when they shoot early in the possession.

I like Kansas, so this isn't the usual ref complaining. However, it sure seems like their bigs are walking every time they get the ball.

The Rock's speech last night at the HOF inductions was great.

A Kansas/UNC Final Four match-up would be amazing.

I really hope people with DirecTv are watching channel 623. The Dodgers/Red Sox game at the LA Coliseum is amazing.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Mar 30, 2008 -> 02:54 AM) Absolutely absurd decision. Apparently the Sox would rather have a guy who can throw three innings terribly than one inning well. I have a feeling you're with me when I say I disagree with just about every personnel decision that's been made over the last few weeks.
