Did Street throw any fastballs ?

C'mon Q !!

Way to go Boonie ! Now let's get 2 runs against Street and call it a ballgame .

BOOOOOOOOOONE ! 1 more now .

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 14, 2008 -> 06:18 PM) As someone mentioned earlier, the worst thing that could have happened was Thome's opening day against C.C. It sure would be nice to have Fields with the big league club to play against LHP. That would be me.

No it wasn't. Uribe ranged far to his left on a ground ball twisted his body and threw on the run accurately to 1st. Sox 3 up 3 down in the 5th.

Woo hoo !! 1000 posts . I'm now a September call up. Took me 3 2/3 years .

Mark not great but getting the job done through 5.

Thome, Konerko and Dye looked like Uribe, Ramirez and Hall that inning.

Pitchers best friend.

Suzuki with the base hit rbi . 1-0 A's 1 out men on 1st and 2nd.

QUOTE (Cali @ Apr 14, 2008 -> 04:48 PM) How can Gameday Game channel and MLBTV not be working at the same time?! They're all run by different websites. It makes no f***ing sense.... Burbank isn't far from me. Feel free to watch it on DirecTV.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 14, 2008 -> 04:15 PM) When's Ozzie going to give Thome a break against LHP? What's the sense of having an on base machine like Swisher being followed by the weak hitting Thome against lefties ? The opening day against Sabathia seems to have cemented into Ozzie's head that Thome should automatically bat 3rd against anyone. Thank goodness Quentin and Crede are picking up the slack.

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Apr 14, 2008 -> 08:52 AM) the only problem right now I have with the team is uribe. I'd rather see ramirez play over him, or just some-one else... I cringe everytime he is at bat. Do you cringe every time he turns a double play? So far we don't need his bat but we always need his glove .

QUOTE (robinventura23 @ Apr 14, 2008 -> 08:56 AM) If there is anything that the team is lacking right now it's speed. I wouldn't mind seeing Owens coming off the bench late in the game as a PR. Also, Ramirez serves no purpose on the bench. He should go down to Charlotte for some seasoning. If all you're going to do is use Frowens as a PR then why bring him up ? Ramirez is just as fast or nearly as fast and hasn't had lingering Pods-like injuries this spring.

Buehrle went 0-1 with a 3.86 ERA in two starts against Oakland last season, while Vazquez has a career 6.60 ERA against the A's. And the A's are hitting .204 against left-handers this season, which the Sox hope to take advantage of with Buehrle and Danks. The rotation will remain in that order until an April 21 day off, after which Buehrle and Vazquez likely will switch back. Thats for those of you who appear not to have read the article posted and still seem shocked.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 13, 2008 -> 06:57 AM) I hope Quentin gets real hot the next week or so. The Sox have only attempted 1 stolen base in 10 games. I have a feeling Ozzie is dying for a reason to insert Owens after a few rehab games. I say make him a pinch runner. Getting guys on base, then hitting homers works pretty well. Love your sig. Here's something that should give you a giggle.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 12, 2008 -> 09:50 PM) i think we're due for a Ramirez start. Not against a junkballer like Rogers.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 9, 2008 -> 08:10 PM) Yahoo's even worse, they have Brian Bass pitching for the Sox right now against Gomez. Game day also had Quentin leading off the 9th with a double.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 9, 2008 -> 07:04 PM) Ugh Gameday is several minutes behind, as if I wasn't already questioning why I was still watching this game. Also still had Thorton pitching when Mac was in.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 9, 2008 -> 07:01 PM) weird cub game...cube up 2-0 in eigth, marmol looks like he will blow it, but only gives up 1...bot of 9 wood gives up a HR to Bay, game goes to the 14th without either team getting a hit...cubs get a 2 r Hr in top of 14 from aramis, LaRoche answers in bot of 14 to tie it...going to 15 And both Bay and LaRoche had 0 rbi for the year.

And Ramirez takes over in center.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Apr 8, 2008 -> 12:03 AM) I think this video sums up my sentiment in a positive and appropriate fashion: Come on guys... join in the fun - sing along! Good to see you posting. You make way too much sense. Shame on you .

Twin's pitcher settled in. 1st pitch strikes, getting his curve over jamming hitters with fastball inside.

1-1 just like that !
