QUOTE(quickman @ May 9, 2007 -> 03:14 AM) they are out of sync, with their lineup, coaching, moving runners over, plate presence, everything, completely out of sync. They had a great opportunity to win this game and get off to an excellent start. they are miserable, and for gods sake lets hope everybody doesn't think sweeney is the next sox all star. Sweeney looks good when he swings, it's just the ball doesn't come off of his bat very solidly. Sometimes it seems like other major leaguers are using an aluminum bat, and he's using a wood bat. He really has to develop more strength.

Under no circumstance do you pitch to Hunter here.

QUOTE(TheBigHurt @ May 9, 2007 -> 03:12 AM) This game has sucked. If we lose, imagine it. It's actually not the offense's fault, but the bullpen's. Ha. And WTF is wrong with David Ardsma? The offense didn't exactly go nuts tonight. If not for a terrible throw by Bonser, we might have only one or two runs.

I can't stand watching Sisco pitch.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ May 9, 2007 -> 03:09 AM) So does it bother anyone else that AJ won't frame any pitch that's close to being a strike? That just annoys the hell out of me. Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 9, 2007 -> 03:11 AM) Still trying to figure out how you let that ball down the line when you are guarding the line... Here's a secret: there's a reason why Crede has never won a Gold Glove.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ May 9, 2007 -> 03:11 AM) For a team that must be exhausted from their postseason last year, the Tigers are playing very well. Their offense is going to be dynamic. Their 2-3-4-5 is so tough, and Monroe/Thames always get big hits.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 9, 2007 -> 03:10 AM) f*** this. He struck out 2 pitches ago. That b****ing in the top of the inning really paid off.

QUOTE(quickman @ May 9, 2007 -> 03:10 AM) should be over soon. Too bad, three run lead blown. would have been a nice win. I just don't see how this team can consistently win right now.

You can't let anything get past you there. I hate this f***ing team.

Oh good, Sisco's in to go to 3 balls on every hitter.

Wow, quite funny. It's hard for me to get too down on him after two magical seasons.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 9, 2007 -> 03:05 AM) That was some bizarre ass timing. And it's surely working in this AB with JD. He's such an idiot.

That 0-1 pitch was in his wheelhouse. Now time for him to chase a slider.

Why is Ozzie b****ing about a zone after Mackowiak got the benefit of some calls?

QUOTE(chisoxt @ May 9, 2007 -> 03:02 AM) Every time the Sox and the Twins play, the disparity between the two team's pens is apparent. as is the managing

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ May 9, 2007 -> 03:02 AM) And thus the dream ends... Lol, that homerun really DID save Terrero. Be patient....they won't mess this up.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 9, 2007 -> 02:56 AM) I sure am glad we can afford to give another game away. In fact, I am glad that we can afford to give all of these game away in April and May.So we have to play .800 ball to compete in the division the rest of the way. I'd rather see the team start to play better, especially hitting, before I'll even worry about the AL Central standings. Right now, we have a long way to go to compete with the Tigers/Indians.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ May 9, 2007 -> 02:53 AM) Okay. Send Aardsma to f***ing AAA. INEXCUSABLE! Jesus f***ING CHRIST! Congrats...I didn't think you could top your statement that Dye should retire. QUOTE(RME JICO @ May 9, 2007 -> 02:55 AM) Has Aardsma ever had an intentional walk? Has he ever hit before Brian Anderson with an open base?

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ May 9, 2007 -> 02:52 AM) This Sorry Ass team can not beat the twins and has not been able to since pre-2000. Why is anybody surprised? Kw did a half ass job putting together a team that could compete in this division. Why are we shocked that we suck? We'll battle it out with the Twins this year....for 3rd place.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ May 9, 2007 -> 02:51 AM) Aardsma f***ed up. Nerves looked like it got to him. I wonder if Aardsma can handle pressure?

QUOTE(diegotony06 @ May 9, 2007 -> 02:49 AM) The bullpen was his project over the offseason. Pretty good results tonight don't ya think!! I thought his project was complaining about the rising cost of salaries?

You know, it's a good thing we have 3 lefty relievers in our bullpen. Wouldn't want to face a great lefty hitter with a lefty reliever, would ya?

QUOTE(RME JICO @ May 9, 2007 -> 02:48 AM) 24 pitches for Nathan on 3 outs, wow. At least they all worked the count a little. Does Iguchi's swing look slow as hell or is it just the MLB.tv? It's worse...at least he could try to do damage by swinging hard.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ May 9, 2007 -> 02:46 AM) Wouldn't you agree this is about as bad as Nathan has looked against us in recent memory? Oh yeah....I actually liked Crede's AB. At least he tried to do some damage. I just don't know how we let Hunter beat us that inning. Worrying about putting the go-ahead run on base with 2 outs has always been something that's overrated. You go for the win, and get the next guy out.
