QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 25, 2011 -> 01:22 PM) What was Balta saying about putting Q in the 3 hole? Kind of worked didn't it

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 25, 2011 -> 05:22 PM) It must be hard to DH everyday. I would think that once a guy seems to be putting it back together witnerss the walks and RBI single and mammoth homer in the last few games then you would leave him in, but I guess not

CQ

I wonder how much the injries affected him in the past. I think a lot especially the foot problem

QUOTE (Tex @ May 25, 2011 -> 02:54 PM) getting a win after blowing a save or hold, or hell any lead, is kind of b.s. imho Agree

I don't know what to make of Tony Pena. He threw two nice innings last week but then turns around and gives up runs in less than an inning and we almost blow this game with Texas. Gray was the most effective of the two, but gets sent down and we lose him. Pena is the veteran and I am not sure has it what it takes anymore to be consistent from game to game as far as shutting down the opponent. Maybe as the season goes along he will find his groove becasue he can still throw 94-95 MPH

Peavy is a battler

Note that the Texas culprits are once again Hamilton and Cruz

QUOTE (kapkomet @ May 25, 2011 -> 01:37 AM) There's a big ass storm heading toward the game. Let's see how long this lasts. This is more where I live and not the ball park, but this is a damn big storm on radar. Is it a frog strangler? Rain capable of washing out this game?

Holland will pump in that fstball and our guys flail away or get scared. Hopefully CQ talks to the rest of them. I can hear the conversatyion, "boys you see a fastball and you hit it hard." "Now you try it!"

QUOTE (fathom @ May 25, 2011 -> 01:06 AM) I'm excited to see Lillibridge, Castro and Viciedo in the lineup tonight. No fair fathom

I always thought Ozzie had him hitting in the #3 spot to go left-right-left-right, but when you can't hit a baseball you are 4-F and down in the line up

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 24, 2011 -> 10:38 PM) That was a good game. It was. I was at a bar and restaurant for lunch and the sports bar crowd was watching that game on TV and yelling about Wise's catch

I am glad Matt found it again. We need him as we make our run for 1st place in the Division

Beckham has tons of talent and basically is still learning to hit at the Mjaor League level since he did not have much time in the minors. Amazing how we have folks clamoring for his trade.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 24, 2011 -> 01:43 AM) Yeah, lets all pretend that teams are breaking down the door for the 0-8 pitcher. They might be fooled

Cy Ugando has a three run lead

QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2011 -> 01:37 AM) Yay, Mr. 6th Inning shows up again. Danks and Dunn, meet Hal Steinbrenner Trade bait maybe?

Sox pay for another mistake right over the plate and it's 3-0. Might be the game too the way the Texas guy is throwing

QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2011 -> 01:35 AM) His bat speed looks to be diminished. Almost as if pitcher has to make a mistake for him to hit a homer. He looks absolutely lost out there

QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2011 -> 01:33 AM) It's so frustrating watching Quentin bat right now. Pop up machine, even on hangers over the plate. I'm not sure which Sox hitter is more annoying to watch bat: Pierre, Dunn, Beckham, Quentin, or Rios The sad thing is there are so many to pick from

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ May 24, 2011 -> 01:32 AM) Oh, I fully admit that. And in hindsight, that is one I should have probably kept inside. OK. Contribute that to the extreme frustration we are all feeling

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 24, 2011 -> 01:29 AM) There are jokes and then there are statements that cause the person making them to look horrible. It was in poor taste mags

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 24, 2011 -> 01:23 AM) Could really use a solo shot from Dunn, eh! solo pop up is what we get

I would hope that Dunn somehow comes out of this, bvut I am thinkig that maybe AL basebal is not his bag. Would a National Leogue team consider trading for him?
