Awesome....this pitching staff is fantastic right now.

Nice effort on that changeup by Jenks. The pitch was good, he just has to keep his motion the same.

Jenks has struggled against the Orioles in his career, probably more than any other team.

QUOTE (CWSGuy406 @ Apr 17, 2008 -> 12:52 AM) That's irrelevant, but go ahead and try to argue it. He's got a strong arm -- probably one of the best LF arms in baseball (top five I'd guess without putting a whole lot of thought into it -- I could certainly be wrong, though). Even if his reads are bad, his speed and athleticism does a lot to make up for that. He's rated above average in LF in Tango's Fan Scouting Report amongst both National and Cub fans, and I'm fairly certain John Dewan has him above average in LF. He's not someone I think as one of the 'best' LFers (defensively) in baseball, but he's far from belonging on a list of the worst. He has one of the quickest, most accurate releases I've seen in a long time.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 17, 2008 -> 01:48 AM) Ks millar.....jose settling in well...we might see him next inning...not sure if thats good or bad I'm sure he'll be out there to start the 7th.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 17, 2008 -> 01:44 AM) i feel pretty stupid for kind of wishing that detroit win at least one against Clev Tigers are a significantly better team than the Indians, especially if C.C. struggles.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 17, 2008 -> 01:32 AM) Wow. Luke Scott with the accurate throw gets OCab. He was a RF in Houston....Baltimore has a fantastic throwing outfield.

Ugh....even our faster players struggle to score on a 2 out hit from 2nd base.

Big batter here in AJP.

Thome hit that ball hard to center?

Crede's on pace to make 40 errors this year....at least he can hit

Beginning to remind me of Jose's last start.

QUOTE (knightni @ Apr 17, 2008 -> 01:04 AM) Ozzie better bench Uribe's ass for not running to 1st on that wild pitch. How dare Uribe know the rules. No drop 3rd in that situation.

What happened on the Konerko single?

Over/under on Brian Roberts stolen bases this series is 5.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 16, 2008 -> 02:12 AM) If there was ever a player meant for the DH spot, it's Adam Dunn. Ryan Braun makes Adam Dunn look like a Gold Glover out there

Milwaukee might want to stop starting Gabe Gross and his .350 OPS.

Soriano got hurt doing his stupid hop. Sad to see that they'll miss Santana next week at Wrigley. I always wanted to see how he'd fare against the Cubs.

There's nothing better than going to a meeting from 2 to 5 and coming back to your desk to see that the Sox won.

QUOTE (DonnyDevito @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 07:57 PM) Atleast that was a 18-20 pitch inning for Eveland. I can't wait until Chicago's 3-4-5 hitters start hitting with consistency. A's bullpen is pretty good, and considering how righty dominant we are today, a right handed pitcher could come in and shut down this lineup.

With AJ out of the lineup, we have to hope Swisher and Crede can come up big. I wanted Ozzie to shake up the lineup, but this seems more like a spring traing split-squad team. I wonder if Toby Hall will still be on this team in two weeks.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 07:49 PM) If and when Owens is ready I would expect Ramirez to go down for seasoning. I wonder why Anderson isn't starting since Ozzie appears to have made wholesale changes in this line up. It's not even worth arguing about anymore.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 07:41 PM) Alexei has a lot of spunk and it's only one at bat in this game I know, but the kid is 1 for 12 and looks overmatched by MLB pitching so far. But, you have to like his arm and his his desire. The Sox are doing him and the team such a disservice by having him on the major league roster.

Between that stache and his legendary secondary lead, it has all the makings of a great statue.

Swisher was a freaking beast tonight. He impressed the hell out of me.
