QUOTE (DirtySox @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 10:00 PM) Impressive play by Pedroia. That was stellar.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 09:58 PM) There was no reason in the world for him to be facing Byrd. Ventura was probably worried they'd have Sweeney bat for McDonald, which is hard to predict in the 6th inning. GMAB, by then it was already a 6-3 game. Big whoop.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 09:57 PM) Is that true? Seriously doubt it. This is a game thread.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 09:56 PM) Most managers let their highly regarded pitchers try to go six innings. This is on Danks ... epic fail! Yeah, Greg's right here...The guy had retired 8 in a row to start the inning and then retired the first guy as well, and had thrown ~80 pitches. There was no reason to even have the pen up there.

Well, Jones just aced Aviles.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 09:55 PM) sign Matt Flynn, draft a QB in the 3rd round. Glad I'm not a Seattle fan. Hey, if Tavaris Jackson is your QB...

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 09:53 PM) Hawk, can we get a Tigers update please?? Beating the Yankees 6-5 in the top of the 8th. You can't look that up yourself?

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 09:49 PM) could really use one of those double play thingamajigs Drop the word "play".

"Hold on to the bat and hit the ball!" Good work kid.

Kelly Shoppach...Pine tar.

I thought strike 2 was outside.

Wait, the White Sox don't put on a shift for Ortiz? That ball went right where the 2b usually shifts. Is it just because of the runners on?

Coop looks cold.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 09:38 PM) Yes. Yes they did. I hope he plays defense. I know you have to play a 2+ year rebuilding plan around Luck with them, I'm just surprised that the offense position they'd go for wtih him is TE. Patriots emulation.

Walk breaks a streak of 9 in a row retired.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 09:36 PM) You can find ways to get him into the lineup. For example, I don't think Bard was a good match-up for Viciedo tonight. Also, getting Alexei lower in the order hopefully breaks up the 3 straight young players in the order we've seen of late. Hulk...SMASH!

401.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 09:33 PM) Alexei now 3-26 in the 2nd spot...really wish Fukudome could get some chances in that spot Don't make me angry...you wouldn't like me when I'm angry....

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 09:29 PM) Nice inning there for Danks. 5 pitches.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 09:24 PM) I don't quite understand the Colts taking a second TE Wait, Indy took a 2nd TE?

San Fran gets the Oregon RB.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 09:11 PM) Salty Balls 2-2 Shoppach.

This has been an interesting inning.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 27, 2012 -> 09:05 PM) Could they move Indonije inside? That would leave them Melton and Idonijie at DT? Yes they certainly could...but then they would be back to needing Wooten to stay healthy and need Idonijie to put on some weight.
