QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 12:53 AM) He's in the running for Cy Young, don't ya know? It's amazing how bad he looked for most of last year, and then he had a dominating last 10 starts or so. It's carried over into this year, and he makes pitching look as easy as our offense makes hitting with RISP seem difficult.

How is Rich Hill dominating hitters?

If we're just going to rely on homers, can we trade for Adam Dunn this offseason and make him our leadoff hitter?

Well, hopefully we can hit two solo homers to take the lead.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 12:44 AM) we needed both last winter. Yes, there was massive sarcasm in my question.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 12:41 AM) Christ, you give Razor less of a chance than Ozzie does with Brian. Nah, it's just shocking to see such incompetence sometimes. I wonder if Razor even knows AJP is one of the slowest players in all of baseball.

If this doesn't seem like a carbon copy of the last few months of last season, I don't know what will.

Good grief, who would have ever thought we'd need new LF and CF 2 weeks into the season?

Oh great, this problem again. I'd have no problem if we just fired the whole f***ing coaching staff.

Was it a long homer?

Far homer for Sammy? What was the brilliant pitch selection this time?

It seems like ages since we last scored a run without the use of a homer.

No one made Dye look worse last year than Padilla. Hopefully he sees him better tonight.

QUOTE(bad at best @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 08:06 PM) Ozzie made the right move to put BA in LF as a defensive replacement. Moving Erstad to LF and Anderston to CF would create a situation with 2 people playing an inning in a new position. I liked the move Ozzie made. On a side note, BA should be starting in CF to begin with. It just set in with me that Ozzie thinks Pods is better defensively in LF than Mackowiak.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 07:09 PM) Joe Crede is a gold glove caliber thirdbaseman period. He is playing stellar defense. The bat is cold right now, but so it is with most of our hitters. Listen to the so called experts on the national sports media and they tell you Crede is a gold glover. His defense has not been stellar so far this year. Whenever you have more errors than extra base hits, you're not playing very well. QUOTE(Capn12 @ Apr 19, 2007 -> 07:13 PM) One good offensive season and now Crede is a god-like third baseman...alrighty then. He is gonna walk, regardless, so maybe we should start the feelers out on him now. And who exactly is going to come in and play CF from the organization if we trade BA at an all time low? You never hear Crede and "gonna walk" in same sentence.

Even if he's right, Anderson needs to STFU. These types of comments are going to do nothing but irritate Ozzie and KW.

Guess I missed a good game to miss. Awesome stuff, this is going on the do not delete ever from my DVR along with GT/Oklahoma St. and Boise St/Oklahoma.

Not going to be able to watch the game live tonight. Go Sox....and someone make sure to keep preaching my #1 rule during this game.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 09:22 PM) Barons' Team History I'd assume that would be the incident I have seen fathom eluding to in the past. Kemp got hit in the 8th, and that caused the game to end in a forfeit. Yep, Kemp was the player indicated.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 09:48 PM) It would be nice if Buerhle can get out of the first unscathed for a change. 15 of 18 and 8 in a row I believe

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 06:52 PM) There's a story about Matt Kemp. Fathom's mentioned it, and someone knows. There was a fight in the minors last year. I don't know if this is public knowledge but Kemp was heavily involved in it and did some stupid stuff.

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 06:09 PM) I remember that 14 inning very well. I just couldn't go to bed and had to stay up even though I had to get up really early next day. Sometimes I've regretted staying up too late for school or work, but never this one. I have very strong feelings against anyone who calls themself a diehard Sox fan and went to bed before that game was over.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 04:35 AM) So, do people still believe accepting only Floyd and Gonzalez for Garcia was fine because he may never pitch again? The above line appears to indicate his arm is infact attached to his body. What a disgraceful trade.

We should just have Ozuna bat 6th. Thus, we can break up the stretch of 5 straight guys that run slower than the Bears offensive line.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 18, 2007 -> 04:29 AM) SAY HELLO TO YOUR NEW LEADOFF HITTER CHICAGO!!! .171/.239/.244/.483 That's right you are not seeing things, that's a .483 OPS! But who cares!? He'll grind the s*** out of your face. 2 for last 28, and that includes a routine grounder up the middle that C.C. botched for an infield hitter. The scary thing is that he's hit very few baseballs hard during this slump.
