If several of the DEs still there I'd like to see bears trade down a few spots Will really be interesting if Reiff is still around

Audio just overheard Aj saying "be a better fan, pay attention"

QUOTE (chw42 @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 06:15 PM) Yes, it was Castro. castros first time ever catching mark IIRC

phil humber and tebow must be boys

completely dominating performance.....IMO the best pitched game i've ever seen

HUMBER!!!! f***ing awesome peformance...seriously, not a hard hit ball the entire day

WHAT JUST HAPPENED

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 16, 2012 -> 10:44 PM) A lot of people, including myself, got blinded by his strong finish. Him in the 2nd spot is just a horrible decision though, as he's not good at seeing pitches and you don't want to encourage him to hit the ball to right field. and this is where our pathetic system shows its weakness because I have no idea who could even be a reasonable option to fill these holes

I said it all year last year that everyone gave morel a pass just cuz Dunn and Riis sucked so much, but the dude was comically bad last year and he got handed the 2 spot for no good reason

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 16, 2012 -> 10:39 PM) How can you say it's not on the umpire when Reimold should have been struck out? This is one of the reasons I hate stone. He goes out of his way to absolve umpires the way hawk goes after them

Awful spot, worse pitch call. Why speed up his bat after he did the exact same thing in the 8th? Bad d by de aza and Pk there

great game felt like an old sox vs twins game............except that the sox were the twins and the the tigers were the sox

Dwade fouled Watson on that last shot too - he looked frustrated

love how aggressive santiago is with his FB - he throws hard for a guy his stature edit: even if he did go to the FB one too many times against lopez

fantastic AB for viciedo - great sign

posted this in the sox catch all thread, but up til that point Rios had made quite a few nice plays in RF that Tank wouldn't have had a chance on IMO

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 07:44 PM) Rios in RF instead of tank has been the correct call so far btw....there have been at least 3 balls so far that rios has gotten to that Viciedo wouldn't have come close on JINX

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 8, 2012 -> 09:14 PM) If Viciedo flops then it really is time for heads to roll. Gordon is already running on fumes. Our best position player by far is, what, 35? im not sure what expectations for dayan should be. what would be considered a flop? I mean his first two years in the minors he had OBPs of .317 and .308. He drastically improved last year to .364. I'm guessing in the big leagues that number will be significantly closer to the .310 range than the .360 range

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 8, 2012 -> 09:07 PM) AJ? yeah, you could throw him in there too if you want QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 8, 2012 -> 09:08 PM) Viciedo? hate his discipline. think hes largely overrated by most sox fans. He does have the most upside of those mentioned above though

its going to be a huge struggle to score runs all year....morel, viciedo, de aza, beckham and rios are all fringe-mlb offensive players IMO

how long are we going to keep playing this charade where mohammad ali is marched out, and we are supposed to pretend like we believe he actually knows what is going on

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 4, 2012 -> 05:56 PM) He's not pitching today. just in general, during player intros when he went out and slapped everyones hands - makes me hate the marlins much less

I really want to root against the marlins. The ridiculously awful unis, the ridiculously ugly new ballpark, the stupid dancers escorting the starters out on the field. Ozzie. I just cant find myself rooting against buehrle.

man, PK is just an unreal fastball hitter
