I will officially state that Anderson lost his swagger he had in ST.

BTW, if you missed the Ely scouting report, check out the 4/19 thread for our minor league teams. All in all, pretty positive stuff.

Tampa's advance scout should be in trouble....how do you not throw a 3-2 offspeed pitch to Sox hitters?

Jermaine!!!! We might never see a triple from our 3-4-5 again.

Finally a bad throw home allows Swisher to score. A good throw, and he was gone.

Great game going for Thome. He's squared up the ball in every AB.

Have a day, Thome

Just some fantastic at bats by Swisher....he's been very consistent all season.

I missed it...was Uribe close to a homer?

Impressive to see Danks pitch over the leadoff hit to such a fast player.

Jermaine's inability to bust his ass to the line and get in throwing position hopefully won't cost the Sox.

It only took the Cubs two batters to take the lead today. Reed Johnson was a superb pick-up for the Cubs. He was the righty platoon outfielder the Sox lacked the past few seasons.

Damn, terrible AB by Dye.

Hawk sounds like a real idiot discussing Thome being better against LHP. I guess he hasn't watched Sox games the last two years.

Thanks Tampa for foolishly not intentionally walking Thome.

And what do you know, Cabrera fails to deliver in a situational hitting spot again.

You don't usually see someone stealing a base who can just round the base like Uribe was able to. Sox have to score at least one run here.

Impressive at bat for Uribe. He took a lot of good pitches to earn the walk.

My wife loves "Rules of Engagement". The younger woman on that show is stunning (I'm pretty sure she's married to Landon Donovan).

AJP's first hit in a week it seems like. I'm sure that makes him happier.

I had more fun trying to spot celebrities in the crowd.

Danks showed great control in that first inning.

QUOTE (sox-r-us @ Apr 20, 2008 -> 06:38 PM) If Frank ever decides to retire, I hope the Sox will sign him to a one day or so contract and let him bat for the Sox for one game so that the fans can give him a final goodbye .... I would love to attend that game if it happened. Guaranteed sell out. I don't think Frank would do that.
