wait a second? you mean even if you don't start a guy, you can pinch hit with him in the 6th? someone tell ozzie

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 12, 2008 -> 11:52 PM) Hindsight is 20/20. Texas soured on Volquez from what I understand. Cincy thought they sold high on him, everyone else laughed. Now, Volquez looks like a stud, but so does Hamilton. yeah, frankly i think hamilton is the more likely player to keep this up too

QUOTE (fathom @ May 12, 2008 -> 11:48 PM) Volquez wasn't an absolute blue chip talent though...it was quite the risk for Cincy. Volquez has always had a big reputation, but with his advanced age, it's not like he was a Kershaw or Jay Bruce. yeah exactly....volquez was considered a bit of a disappointment by texas...i guess they kept the wrong one of the DVD trio and gave up too early on the other two

QUOTE (fathom @ May 12, 2008 -> 11:40 PM) Please shut me up OC! not for the sox's sake, but for soxtalks sake..

ugh swisher...why let the high changeup go by??

i guess its challenge vlad night at the park

aj swings at ball 2 and 3

where the f*** was dye?

nice job middle IF, nice job ozzie... then hunter hits what should have been a dp too

QUOTE (fathom @ May 12, 2008 -> 11:20 PM) f*** you Ozzie! What a terrible piece of managing. that is the definition of failing managing 101....terrible pitch selection too

god forbid that ball hsould jump up and hit roger dorn i mean orlando cabrera in the chest

QUOTE (fathom @ May 12, 2008 -> 11:16 PM) Another game where it feels like we should have had 6 or 7 runs against the starter. I am not impressed with Ardenhart. hes got decent stuff....but hell have to gain some control if he wants to be anything better than pre-2008 daniel cabrera

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 12, 2008 -> 11:10 PM) Well for your mid game entertainment, you can open up another browser window, point it to www.wwtdd.com and scroll down the page a bit, and you may see pics of Megan Fox topless. The first few pics have her in a body suit, then she loses the top of the body suit. Got I love when the paparazzi does their job, not so much when they take picks of Amy Stinkhouse or Tubby Britney. Back to your regularly scheduled game. does she have band aids on her nipples?

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ May 12, 2008 -> 10:03 PM) He's definitely above average this year for a backstop: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/battin...&qual=false just dont click on 2007 or 2006

QUOTE (lostfan @ May 12, 2008 -> 09:59 PM) Below average defensively yeah, but offensively, as a catcher? No not really. maybe not below average...but his .328 career obp certainly isnt above average...and his obp in a sox uniform is closer to .315

QUOTE (fathom @ May 12, 2008 -> 09:55 PM) And AJP swings at the first pitch. What a joke. its about time AJ stopped getting a free pass in chicago...hes a below average defensive catcher and hes below average offensively....

aj saw too many balls in his first at bat

wow we have won 9 of our last 12 in anaheim...seems like we are only ever .500 at best on the west coast

QUOTE (ChWRoCk2 @ May 12, 2008 -> 10:20 PM) AJ must have heard. its not easy to walk AJ on 4 pitches... for as bad as the mariners announcers were, the angels announcers so far have been very good and entertaining

the angels really pushed adenhart pretty quickly through the system...he had a great ERA in AAA before his call up this year, but even through his minor league career he hasnt had the peripherals i would expect out of a top prospect....god konerko first pitch swinging?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 12, 2008 -> 10:06 PM) Do the Angels even have any lefties in the pen? darren oliver, but i suppose it doestn matter since swisher would turn around and hit righty anyways...brain fart on my part

why not stagger the lefties and go AJ crede then swisher? oh well probably wont matter

ugh mlbtv has the angels announcers....they havent had hawk and dj in a while

QUOTE (daa84 @ May 12, 2008 -> 09:43 PM) i cant even begin to try to explain cliff lee...he was soooo bad last year of course unassisted triple plays certainly help his effort

QUOTE (G&T @ May 12, 2008 -> 08:51 PM) I thought that last year. Things didn't turn out so well. lol true...we were so bad...i remember losing to the pirates last year (maybe got swept, i dont remember, i tried to push it out of my brain) ...i thought i was gonna kill myself
