QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 01:58 AM) Sox now 2 off the league lead in walks. Thank you Mr. Thome

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 01:51 AM) Nice K by Vazquez. Hillenbrand was seeing him well. Yep, he made a good pitch there. Vaz's curve isn't as sharp as it was last game, but he has better location on his fastball.

Brian Anderson is our best option for CF right now. If he's to be replaced by someone better, it would have to be via trade.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 01:47 AM) Griffey? I too hope that is a joke. Not only does he have no range in CF anymore--possibly the worst "every day" CF in the bigs, but he's now an average hitter, and cannot stay on the field at all. If Griffey is an average hitter, I don't want to know what you think about our LF, CF, and SS.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 01:43 AM) Wow. This is Brandon Mccarthy part 2 on here. I agree. However, does that mean Anderson needs a stint in the minors to regain his confidence?

Man...that's absolutely pathetic. At least we got 2 runs...but should have been more.

BA- they won't throw you anything inside.

Great job staying on that slider by Crede.

Scouting report on Walker.....he has a very good slider. Our righties have got to lay off of that pitch.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 01:28 AM) GOOD SPEED ABOARD. If only AJP was on the bases also. They make Thome look like a speedster.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 01:22 AM) And people wonder why I criticize our minor league system. Anderson's loopy swing is continually exploited by major league pitchers. His plate approach isn't exactly good, either. What's funny is he's the best we have in a position of supposed strength. It just seems like the hitters we call up from the majors have a very hard time adjusting to the "speed" of the game. Anderson has no confidence at the plate right now.

Great inning by Vazquez there getting us back in the dugout.

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 01:15 AM) I like how you pull these posts up after something good happens. Try replying to them when they are actually made, rather than later.

Wow....a bases loaded hit from our leadoff man? Way to f'n go Pablo!

We have the worst outfield in baseball so far this season.

Very good swing by PK. The ball is absolutely flying out of the park.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 12:57 AM) That was quite the meatball. Vazquez is going to have to keep the ball in the park at the Cell this year. That was the biggest question mark when we brought him over.

Vazquez's stuff is nowhere near what it was last game. He seems to be laboring after every pitch. Not sure if that's the way he typically is.

Overbay just missed that one.

Can we bring back Rickey Henderson to lead off?

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 15, 2006 -> 12:45 AM) Ozuna is horrible. I have such a problem with these guys who have no power that aren't protecting themselves. If you have 2 strikes and you're a slap hitter....slap at it!

The 1-2 curve that Vazquez threw for a ball to Wells was absolutely nasty. Safe to say that every single righty hitter on the Sox would have K'd on it.

Another game where I just don't understand the reason for Gload being on this team. It's a shame we can't have a legit back-up to play the outfield against lefty pitchers.

I'd say that Pods probably was CS or picked-off about 32 times last season.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 01:08 PM) Wow, Cena has never come off as that kind of prima donna to me. Nope, absolutely not. Some of the people I know associated with the business have always thought of him as one of the good guys in the profession.
