QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 03:48 AM) Well, that was in 2004, so there was certainly testing...we wouldn't necessarily have known because you had to test positive like 3 times in order to get a suspension. The testing in 2004 was quite poor, if I remember correctly. I thought it was after the 2004 season where the testing became "legit".

Garland's actually throwing harder since his gaffe. I feel like we caught a break that inning, as Sexson's out seemed like a definite homer off the bat.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 03:46 AM) Just a guess, but I'm thinking illegal substances. And never trust a player who has a career year, one that totally surpasses his career totals, in their free agency season.

A rare changeup by Garland to a righty. Shades of Tejada AB from last season.

Not even close on those pitches. Time for a double play.

I thought for sure that ball was gone. You're doing him a favor throwing him outside fastballs on the first pitch.

Wow....some ugly swings. Mackowiak, even though he showed great hustle tonight, is an absolute liability against LHP.

If anything, tonight's lineup really makes me appreciate our typical 2 thru 8 positions in our lineup.

Moyer has nasty control right now.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 03:33 AM) Haha. You guys are too uptight. That was f***ing hilarious.

Why can't any of our guys use two hands when they catch the ball? Even Cintron has to make us anxious. Jon....good thing you got out of that inning.

Ibanez absolutely destroys Garland/Sox in these situations. One of the tougher outs vs the Sox.

Oh my god....that's absolutely unexcusable. Wake the f*** UP JON!

Wow...massive hanger he got away with.

QUOTE(toasty @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 03:27 AM) they didnt mention me by name tonight, but did you catch dj say that his guy got an email about shingo being with the yakult swallows? I emailed that in after the first emailer asked where shingo was and hawk said I DUNNO! Well done

Ichiro will definitely be stealing here. A couple of pitch-outs could help.

One of the worst AB of the year for Thome. It feels like we blew our chance to get to Moyer, and he's in a groove now.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 03:16 AM) You know, I'm just not that comfortable with the way Garland looks on the mound right now, even though it's working for now. He's behind on too many hitters, he's not working inside at all, every single pitch to Beltre there was low & away. Last year, he feasted off of his sinker in. This year, he's staying more on the outside with all of his pitches. He seems to be aiming his slider though.

Good inning for Garland. It would be nice to see some quality AB by the Sox this inning.

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 03:13 AM) The replay looked like he caught it, but he signaled Garland to first, so I guess not. The ball was loose underneath his glove. Oh well...an out's an out, and it was a very good play.

Good stop by PK....he definitely didn't catch that ball.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 03:09 AM) Moyer is the type of pitcher I would expect Anderson to have no success with. At least we found a pitcher he can pull the ball against.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 03:08 AM) Mack a slight disappointment so far. He's a very, very streaky hitter.

Wow, that first pitch strike to Anderson was as bad of a call you'll see.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 25, 2006 -> 03:05 AM) Who gives a rat's ass about the 2003 Red Sox? Seriously Hawk, STHU and call the game. Why...he was simply answering the question someone e-mailed him. I actually think it's refreshing to hear Hawk talk about something non-homerish related.
