Terrible call... you could tell he was unsure when he called it.

I wouldn't mind one of these: 1951-63 Sox hat. I have all the other ones...

I'd like to see the sleeveless home jerseys back at some point.

OK...you're all right. Let's trot Marquez out there. All I'm saying is before you run Jose off...how bout you give him til May?!? Or is that too much to ask from this group?...nevermind.

Please...at least the guy gives you a solid chance everytime he takes the mound. And I applaud his cajones for get back and ready as fast as he did.

I posed the question to myself yesterday of who would I rather have than Quentin IN THE LEAGUE right now? Given his age and potential...there's probably only a handful of players I'd rather have. But like your question...it's a moot point.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 07:53 PM) Yes, he froze on a grounder hit right at him. I think he did the right thing. Why risk making the 1st out at 3rd and take a guy out of scoring position. I'd like to see it again though...

Buck Martinez just said the Lexi made a bad baserunning play...should have been on 3rd. WTF game is he watching?

f*** Nick Swisher!

I gotta tip my hat to Lillibridge. Had a very rough ST and beginning of the season...but you have to admit having him in the lineup (double good with Getz) has really sparked the offense. I'm hoping this is a wakeup call to Lexi to get his head outta his ass soon. And if BA starts to really struggle...I'd have no problem with Lilli in CF.

Beckett gets his suspension reduced...and won't even miss a start. What's the point of suspending starting pitchers if they don't even miss a start? I'm sure everybody's seen the play and all...and in my opinion Beckett's turned out as a mini-punk-ass Clemens. All badass when he doesn't have to hit. Very talented pitcher...but he's turned into probably the person on another team I hate the most.

I love being around DBack fans listening to them piss and moan about trading him! That's the argument I always have when I hear Sox fans b**** (a small few I think) about trading Young. DBack keep Carlos without Young IMO. Quentin > x5 Young

Quentin vs Ditka?...

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 03:02 PM) I'd like to see Ramirez get an AB. Nah...I'd rather see him sit this one out. He's struggling so bad...if he gets an AB in this hit parade and looks like crap it may hurt him more than help by simply having an AB.

I think that out by Owens was the hardest ball I've ever seen him hit...

I LOVE HIM!!!

Looked like a slider that didn't slide. I thought Hawk/Stoney made a good point yesterday when they said something to the effect that pitchers with good curveballs really don't have that good slider or visa-versa and should just scrap one of them.

Keystone Kops there....

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 02:26 PM) All things aside, Lillibridge has to give Ozzie a mega-boner, as he's such a piranha. I mentioned that in the game thread yesterday that I wouldn't mind seeing a Lilli/Getz 1-2 in the order. He's making it tough to keep him out of there. Maybe it'll be a wakeup call for Lexi too. I just hope Lilli's shagging some flys from center because at some point Ozzie will have to find a place to keep him in the lineup.

Attaboy Getzy....

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 02:17 PM) Wilson making us miss Uribe? thats JU level right there with the bat Not a question mark there for me with that statement...

Was Hawk just pimping the guy that gave up 715 to Aaron?

Nice grab by JD!!!

Carrasco?!?...not sure I like this. Don't get comfortable Bobby...
