QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 07:43 AM) I'm inclinded to agree with the notion that we're not going to get markedly better until Ozzie is no longer filling out the lineups. I do think we'll improve, but there's no defense for some of the things Ozzie has been pulling. They defy general baseball logic and reason. With any luck he'll be managing the Braves next year. Filling out the line up is Ozzie's job as the manager. I don't see him or anyone else getting fired. We still have about 147 games left to go so there is always hope that things start to gel

That was not agood at bat by CQ

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 01:52 AM) Might? With this offense it was pretty much over at 3-2. Never say it's ovah till that humongous chick blurts out a song

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 01:50 AM) I didn't think his opening start was that bad. He blew the game and his command has been awful all season, but he had nice movement, was throwing a good changeup, and just hasn't had a feel for his slider. I didn't see any reason to panic. And no, I don't think we are going to see him regularly walk 6 guys a game. He's a much better pitcher than that but I think he is really rusty from being out of baseball for a relatively significant time. I would agree with you. This guy is the type of pitcher who can reel off a 8-10 game win streak when he is back on

Now that pitch to Crawford was not in a good location and we might be done for the night

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 01:46 AM) More booing as he leaves. Really disappointing start after a crisp first inning. I don't care how bad things are you shoudn't boo your own players. Sorry it just ain't right

We can stil win a ton of games this year. It is early for sure

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 01:38 AM) An ace gives your team a chance to win every night. It's 3-2 so we do have chance, but your definition might leave is with a handful of pitchers through MLB history. I understand what you are saying though

It was good to see Ramirez go to right field on that single though

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 01:36 AM) He used to be an Ace. Sure. He isn't anymore. I think he is stil an ace just like Mark

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 01:35 AM) 1 pitch, 1 out. Mark Kotsay everybody! Nice to see an offense with two sub players for today battig under .115 each

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 01:33 AM) If you believe a guy with as nasty of a slider as Peavy has coupled with a 95MPH heater with movement got by on nothing but a big ballpark and weak division, eh, I can't convince you otherwise. Seems you're stretching to have his performance fit your narrative, imo. Peavy is a good pither in a funk. Buerhle has been in flunks too and is also in a mni one now. They can pull out of it but I want it to be NOW!

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 02:30 AM) Jake's velocity is up, he's thrown some nasty sliders....he just doesn't have his command tonight. It looks much less like nibbling to me than just not having a feel for the ball. A guy doesn't put up the numbers he has over the course of his career by nibbling, he busts out dominant stuff. If his stuff is inconsistent, as it is tonight, he's going to struggle. I can't believe y'all are so dismissive of a guy with a hell of a track record. What I'm seeing tonight has absolutely nothing to do with what league he's in, an injury, or confidence...he simply has not found his groove yet. Toronto was obviously his post-spring dead arm period and now he's working on getting everything back in synch. I'd give the veteran the benefit of the doubt

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Apr 23, 2010 -> 02:29 AM) Yeah, it seemed like he was pissed. We won't hear the last of this. He gets mad at himself generally doesn't he? He is pretty high strung

It is only 3-2, but the way this team has been laying it might as well be 20-2. I guess we should be glad we aren't the Pirates today 20-0 losers to the Beer Crew. We might be able to come back but they didn't have a chance

Peavy with six walks. I trhink I see the problem

Winning is agood thing

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 20, 2010 -> 10:39 PM) Toronto has drawn in the past. Will they ever again is a good question, but throw a team out there every year that you know cannot win, and they will not draw. If the White Sox had no chance to contend, how many people do you think would be at the game tonight? Should the NHL moved out of Chicago when the Hawks didn't draw and couldn't fill the place up halfway when they gave out free tickets? We almost lost the Sox to Tampa Bay remember- whether or not it was a ploy to get a new stadium or not the possibility was out there
