QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 17, 2008 -> 01:09 AM) I get home and turn on the TV and hear Hawk b****ing about Jerry Manuel not getting kicked out of a game. Then I come on here and see guys busting on Uribe for striking out on a pitch he didn't swing at, and b**** about not running to first when first base was occupied with less than 2 out. Strange. Exccccccuuuussssseee meeeeeee!

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 17, 2008 -> 01:04 AM) well let's see if Ozzie puts his money where his mouth is and sits Juan's ass for not hustling.... If he doesn't know the rules than he needs to learn the game better. Also Ramirez can play second base right?

I took Jim Thome as my PTC today and tomorrow figuring that when he came back from his one game suspension he would have something to prove. he has been in a slump and this might be when he breask out now. So far a HR and a double

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 11:21 PM) Honestly wondering, should I just stay out of this thread? Depends on whose side you take

QUOTE (C_LEE45 @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 10:07 PM) KW and boras need to sit down and get crede locked up......as far as fields well i dont know trade him,let him play 1st then DH paulie, but one thing i dont want to see is crede somewhere else thats for sure!!!!! I am behind that 100%. Don't trade away or let go to free agency one of our home grown stars. Joe is a proven talent.

QUOTE (watchtower41 @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 08:27 PM) today's game kinda makes me even more pissed about last night's game, coulda shoulda but I'll take the split... and no doubt the fellas will be riding high on the plane ride out to Baltimore. Me too. Pitching wise though 3 runs allowed in 4 games is pretty good for the pitching staff. I suppose what we will see now is a few games where the offense sputters along.

WE won! I guess in reality that all that matters, but the troubling thing is that lead off walk again. It also ruined the shutout as the walk came around the score. The Sox pitching should have had 3 shutouts in 4 games.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 08:11 PM) Linebrink gets Ellis to pop out on the infield. Bottom 8, 4-0 Sox. That's what I said!

Line brink in and what I want to see is for him to get that first batter out and nt issue walks, etc. We need consistency from that pen of ours.

John Danks for Brandon McCarthy. I wonder who got the better of that deal?

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 07:57 PM) That ball was crushed. 85 MPH fastball according to game day.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 07:50 PM) It's not even worth arguing about anymore. But, one would like to get a straight answer from Ozzie

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 07:48 PM) Pablo anxious to be hitting, flies out to RF on 1st pitch He and Juan must by hyperactive or something

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 07:47 PM) The Sox are doing him and the team such a disservice by having him on the major league roster. If and when Owens is ready I would expect Ramirez to go down for seasoning. I wonder why Anderson isn't starting since Ozzie appears to have made wholesale changes in this line up.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 07:46 PM) i think you prolly mean his second start....first start he walked two in 6.2 innings, second was 3 in 2.1 You are correct sir! The first start was very very good. The second very very poor. He may be at 40 pitches through 3, but at least no runs have scored so this is a good thing

Danks is playing with fire with these walks he issues and that's what got him in trouble in his first start

Alexei has a lot of spunk and it's only one at bat in this game I know, but the kid is 1 for 12 and looks overmatched by MLB pitching so far. But, you have to like his arm and his his desire.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 03:48 AM) Geez-us christ...did he throw one friggin strike that whole half inning besides the first pitch to Paulie (which is automatic take anyway for him). I thought he would have been waiting to crush that first pitch fastball too

The music died tonight folks. See you tomorrow

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 03:39 AM) i'm sick of this b****ing about pulling the ball. all year we've been using the whole field. end of story. You should just cover your ears when reading negative posts. Like I do. You'll be happier.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 03:38 AM) I hope he didn't break his neck trying to pull those pitches. They forget how to go the other way when needed don't they?

What did he do? MLB Game Day is stuck again

That'w what we need from a reliever in a one run game moving into the 9th. No control

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 15, 2008 -> 03:24 AM) But he has the best stuff of any of our relievers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I heard someone say he was filthy

Who is this Toyota Suzuki Nissan guy anyway. 4 for 4
