QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 05:16 PM) That was a f***ing strike. sure was

this has been a really long 3 innings

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 05:09 PM) Konerko not looking too good to start the season... yeah any time he wants to make solid contact id be ok with it

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 05:07 PM) For the people watching, has the ump been as bad as seemingly Ozzie, Swisher, and a few others have thought? i know pauly and ozzie didnt like the called third to PK in the first....you could see pauly slowly walk back to the dugout after it...i think this is stemming from the fact that he called the low outer corner in the first, now the high one here

wow bad call

anyone watching the cubs game? gameday just said there was a sac bunt 1st and 3rd with 1 out in the bottom of 9th tie game...was it a failed suicide or something??

the following pitchers have pitched in the cubs pirates game: Kevin Hart, Carmen Pignatiello, Michael Wuertz, Phil Dumatrait, Franquelis Osoria, Tyler Yates, and John Grabow....but no the national league isnt worse than the AL

goddamnit javy put him away javy really ditracted by the runner i feel like

is this the first hitter javy has gotten ahead of?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 04:51 PM) We can't keep stranding these runners. as long as we keep gettin em on...we'll eventually get em in

QUOTE(G&T @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 04:48 PM) Swisher walks. Great AB. 2 on, 2 out. yeah 10 pitch walk...thats how you raise a guys pitch count

QUOTE(kjshoe04 @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 04:41 PM) Doesn't happen much with the twins. yeah an agressive approach isnt the worst idea in this game,

man blackburn has such an easy delivery to the plate

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 04:38 PM) 34 pitches through 2 innings. in best jay leno voice from major league two...."thats kind of alot"

QUOTE(joesaiditstrue @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 04:35 PM) wow javy might make it through the 6th inning with around 100 pitches at this rate i hope he makes it through 6

for as good a javy was late in ST, hes been that bad thus far during the regular season

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 04:27 PM) Blackburn threw a TON of strikes in the 1st. After going 2-0 on Swisher I believe he only threw 2 balls to the next 5 hitters. 18 pitches/14 strikes 19 pitches 15 strikes i read somewhere that the twins pitchers have more balks 2, than walks 1.....1 walk is absurd so far this year

alot of pitches for blackburn

if thome stays healthy he could lead the league in RBIs

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 04:14 PM) he has the potential. Cuddyer isnt swinging a weak stick either cuddyer is on the DL

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 04:12 PM) Morneau, Mauer and Young arent power hitters? I beg to differ mauer isnt...

javy has really had poor command in his first start and thus far today...got behind each hitter so far

QUOTE(soxfan3530 @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 04:05 PM) infield bunt single for gomez. vaz dropped the ball but no chance either way can we get bossard to change the lines so that bunts no longer stay fair, now that we dont bunt and run alot

QUOTE(beautox @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 02:48 PM) In Terms of Production is see him as a better Version of Pat Burrell, a lesser version of JD Drew but with a better attitude and a bit more power; i think he'll OPS over 900 more than twice in his career and play a well above average RF. wow...i would consider pat burrell a bit better than j.d. drew

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 7, 2008 -> 01:10 PM) Morgan just isn't that smart about what players have accomplished. Ie, him saying Dye would have a tremendous season ignoring the fact that two years ago Jermaine had one of the best seasons in all of baseball. He just makes a lot of puzzling comments. I don't mind him because he has a good broadcasting voice but a lot of times you have to take his statements at heart. Including the comments about the Sox becoming a smart ball type of club because that is just a major misconceptoin about the 05 Sox. Yes they had Pods a top the order but the big key was the rotation and pen and you can't ignore the fact that the 05 Sox could still slug homers with the best of em. i know im in the vast minority, but i love joe morgan...he has a way better baseball mind than alot of people give him credit for...everyone says hes stupid...hes not at all...perhaps hes not entirely educated about the players in the game today, but he is plenty educated about the actual game play...plus i get the sense that the guy truly enjoys a good baseball game, and has a deep appreciation for the subtleties that exist in each and every game...and i personally think he communicates that very well....i feel if there is every a trick on a good pick off move from a pitcher, or a mechanical flaw with a base runner, he picks up on it and lets his audience know.....hes a throwback type guy, which is what i love with announcers (why i like hawk and harry callis and vin scully) you just hear alot about ERAs of baseball that you dont hear about many other places... not to mention goddamn that guy had one hell of a swing
