QUOTE (gettysburg32 @ Apr 9, 2011 -> 04:52 PM) Was Humber's day enough to give him another start? Is it worth skipping the 5th spot with the off day coming up Thursday? Weather-permitting, we don't have another off day for three weeks after Thursday so I'm leaning toward Humber starting Friday and giving the rest of the rotation one more day of rest. I think so. Peavy won't be back till late April early May at the earliest. Humber looked as good as any Sox starter this year besides Jackson.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 09:25 PM) i have a lot of autographs, mainly 8x10s because i used to like to collect them but dont want them anymore but they dont have much value considering theyre autos of carlos lee, jose valentin, magglio, scotty pods, willie harris, ozzie, aaron rowand,freddy, etc. lol not much demand for that I'll give you $10 for them Outside of my WS stuff I do have some pretty cool autographs from Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle and Muhammed Ali.

Sox won , thats the ultimate payback so no, just win again.

Is it pronounced Umber ? But any way his curve was sick. I'd like to see that more often.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 9, 2011 -> 02:54 PM) C'mon Alexie go to right. Even though it's 2-0 and you'll be in pull mode. Yup.

Kind of looked like Humber missed the base. Let him start the next inning.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Apr 9, 2011 -> 02:42 PM) If thornton blows another save today, oh man. you'd think ozzie would go to more of a committee if he does, right? Doubt he would even pitch today.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Apr 9, 2011 -> 02:40 PM) I honestly can't think of anyone uglier who ever played the game (that I can RECALL). You should have a baseball card collection. You'd see quite a few.

QUOTE (peanut33tillman @ Apr 9, 2011 -> 02:37 PM) Belle crossed my mind, but as bad as Karkovice was the fact that he was sooo dorky made it worse. I can't hate on Joey Albert Belle. Had had one of the greatest seasons in Sox history and played hard.

Humber humming along. Great job by him. Curve is biting hard.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Apr 9, 2011 -> 02:31 PM) lol he was already mid-air with arm extended and the ball was still dropping, if his arm was 2 inches shorter that ball drops I don't know what you're laughing at you're totally outnumbered . Not a single person who saw that would call that any thing but a great catch .

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Apr 9, 2011 -> 02:29 PM) pure LUCK on that catch, ball fell right into his glove. great effort though Thats stretching it a bit, that's pure skill.

WOW one hell of a catch !

Who signed Silva >?

DP time.

Ive got all kinds of stuff my bro sent me after the world series. Buerhle wheaties box, headines from newspapers and pins. Older stuff includes ticket stub from 1st game at the Cell. Starting lineup figurines of Frank Thomas , pewter statue of Thomas from the Sports Illustrated collection, buttons, a Winning Ugly t shirt ( yes an original one I saved) and Sox baseball cards going back to the early 60's. I love bobble heads but have none of the Sox just Lakers , Angels, and and some hockey ones I picked up very cheap during the strike. I also have what I suppose most Sox fans have ,caps from four different uniforms and various t shirts.

I was one of those in the poll who said if it aint broke don't fix it , but I wanted Matt to succeed so badly.

QUOTE (G&T @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 08:16 PM) Can't close with only 1 pitch. I know this game should have been over but he cant pitch over mistakes. The Rays announcer called Thorton a one trick pony.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 8, 2011 -> 08:00 PM) Millidge isn't even on the team. No you're kidding me what happened to him ? (green green green and more green.)

I almost knew Teahen would come through. Why ? Because I really felt like saying pinch hit for him with Milledge and when I say something dumb like that I almost always get burned.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 04:14 PM) Juan Pierre played 160 games last year. Ozzie's going to put him out there almost every day. If you can buy an extra day off for Pierre by putting him at DH for a day or two, you absolutely do it. I really don't think playing DH is "buying an extra day off" especially when you get 3 hits and run around the bases, make steal attempts and w/e else Pierre does that is part of his running game.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 02:03 PM) He'd still be gone. They needed a pitcher, plain and simple. I realize it's just a matter of circumstances with the extra inning games and the fact they went with 11 pitchers to start the season and kept Milledge around after his very good spring.It sure didn't help him any for Ozzie to put him in left and DH Pierre. Why not just DH Milledge ? I also realize that Ozzie probably was just sticking to some sort of preplanned thing to give regulars time off, but if you're going to be playing any way why not keep people where they are most accustomed to being.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 01:55 PM) Jackson! : Pierre! : Alexei! : Santos! : Lot of positives to start this season... with the bullpen overall was one of them. Let's hope it gets better! Where's the Lilly love ?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 02:06 PM) No dout. We can only hope he really likes it here. And the chances of that with huge money on the line is slim but I'll cling to hope. Best case scenario is also worst case scenario . He has a great year and Sox look outstanding but less chance of keeping him.
