QUOTE (jphat007 @ Mar 29, 2010 -> 07:58 PM) Oh i guarentee Juan Pierre will be bunting with a men at 1st, 2nd and nobody out 100 out of 100 times. But not with 2 strikes.

AJ single up the middle hits 2nd base Jones scores 5-0 AJ out when throw home cut off and AJ caught between 1st and 2nd. Teahen pops out.

Jones steal after a walk.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Mar 29, 2010 -> 07:52 PM) That's the way this offense is going to work. So we better hope those things are executed well because we are going to be doing them whether we think it's right or not. Eh with this Angel's pitcher on the ropes Oz was just bailing him out. Doubt he'd do that during the regular season with the opposing pitcher struggling. Kotsay HR 2 rbi 2 for 2 tonight.

Rack em up

Ozzie having fun so far giving away outs. Pierre thrown out stealing, Pierre bunting unsuccessfully with 2 strikes and Q grounding out on a 3-0 pitch.

Way too many nice guys saying way too many nice things about Kotsay . What is wrong with all of you ? The venom spewed during game threads should be very entertaining. Just think of the possibilities when Kotsay , Jones, Vizquel , Pierre, and Linebrink are all in the same game !

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Mar 13, 2010 -> 09:55 AM) He'll be fine, but you'd think he lost his leg by the overreaction going on around here. I don't think showing concern over an individuals injury is an over reaction especially given it's serious nature. Mitchell has huge upside but this type of injury can lead to chronic problems. It could be the difference between having a Carl Crawford type player or a Dwayne Wise. In 9 AB's in spring training he already looked better than Wise ever did with 3 of his 4 hits being for extra bases.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Mar 13, 2010 -> 08:32 AM) I can't see how its anything but bad. He misses a season at a time he needs experience. Running is a huge part of his game. What is the guarantee that he comes back anywhere near 100%? At a minimum, its something that sets him back a year. There's a decent chance it could be worse than that. I agree. He's the Sox #1 prospect in most opinions, a guy with huge upside. His spring play was only reaffirming what this guy could do when he concentrated on baseball. He had always played baseball and football. This was to be the year he became a baseball only guy. As others have mentioned , it's also a huge blow to the organization in regards to landing a big bat before the trade deadline. Good luck JM with hopes for a full recovery.

De Aza run scoring single. Kotsay to 3rd De Aza takes 2nd on the throw. 4-3 Sox.

3-3 as Lucy hits into a FC Williams scoring.

Teahan RBI single after a walk to Kotsay loaded the bases against Cub prospect Jay Jackson.

Vizquel gets the 1st Sox hit and Kenny Williams Jr. with a hit.

Sox with no hits through 5.

Aquino with 2 scoreless innings for the Sox. No extra base hits by either team yet. Lots of walks and K's.

QUOTE (daggins @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) So uh, is it a tendon or a ligament? I wonder what the downtime is gonna be like. Is it something where he'll be back in a couple months or is that pretty much it for his season? Len Kasper just said during the game that surgery will probably keep him out for the year.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Mar 12, 2010 -> 08:07 PM) Ya he looks like dye running out there Umm spring training. He's at least 2 steps faster than Dye. He's already had a triple and at least one if not more stolen base(s) this spring. He didn't exactly have to bust his ass on any of the balls the Cubs hit. He looked to have decent speed scoring on the wild pitch.
