QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2011 -> 11:42 PM) It was a terrible decision, as it's not like we would have thrown out Ichiro if he tried to steal. Figgins wouldn't have hit the ball anyway though. Plus, Ichiro would have scored on the double from first

Yeah, that was guaranteed After the walk. Can we keep it to 1?

Uh oh

QUOTE (Heads22 @ May 6, 2011 -> 11:35 PM) Ha, I don't remember the last time I've seen Paul react like that. I can't either

Ventura would have A job if he wanted it, probably in the booth. He doesn't want it yet. Frank had a very unique swing and skill set, and a personality that wasn't all that outgoing. Just because you can hit doesn't mean you can coach

QUOTE (TitoMB @ May 6, 2011 -> 11:25 PM) Can we really take him out of the rotation while he's still hot? Hawk just spent 10 minutes talking about a 6 man rotation

QUOTE (Thad Bosley @ May 6, 2011 -> 11:21 PM) Our #5 starter giving his team a chance to win, once again! Seriously? He's not just giving them a chance, he's matching one of the best pitchers in baseball.

"There it is Phil" - even hawk knows

All Pierre does is prevent no hitters

QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2011 -> 10:51 PM) Relax everyone...we're just putting ourselves in position to have the first pick in the dispersement draft after the Dodgers get contracted. Knowing KW, he'll take James Loney over Kershaw. We could just take a year of Vin Scully.

Nice recovery by phil

QUOTE (OilCan @ May 6, 2011 -> 10:04 PM) Mitchell DID hit his third homer. But still, 17Ks in his last 39 ABs, yikes. He'll get time to develop, but man. Kind of wish the Sox just started him in Kanny and work his way from there. Trayce Thompson has cooled off too. .200 in his last 10 games (7 for 35, 11ks in 35 ABs). Starting him off too high is a legit worry. That he played football isn't, unless football players are more likely to suffer that type of freak injury.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ May 6, 2011 -> 09:50 PM) I predict the Sox spoil my mood after watching a masterful Bulls victory. Bah, don't let it get to you. Watch more basketball if it helps.

Successful jinx by me for the walk

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ May 6, 2011 -> 09:55 PM) Bulls>Hawks, that was never the question...just gotta go out and execute. And not get too hurt.

Jaime Garcia perfect through7

QUOTE (flavum @ May 6, 2011 -> 09:35 PM) 3 more K's for Mitchell. Bust football player. Gmafb

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 6, 2011 -> 09:21 PM) This is our best shot, Atlanta. Now you know. We can still do better too, if Boozer is healthier.

Yeah. He's solid. Great game by Noah again too. He's clearly nearly back at last

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 6, 2011 -> 09:05 PM) I just hope they are targeting the right prospects for the trades that will be coming. I don't see this team doing squat on this road trip and at some point everybody will be in agreement the Sox buried themselves in one simple 5 week span to open the season. I mean if they go 2-7 or 1-8 will some of you still be hopeful of a turnaround? Only way they'll pull off a real prize is if they target a low level player, but they have high bust rates too

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 6, 2011 -> 09:01 PM) Cliff Lee has 16 K's through 7 IP and is losing. Crazy. Lowe just lost his no-hitter to Victorino in the 7th. Braves up 3-0. Somewhere there's a DUI joke in there.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 6, 2011 -> 08:55 PM) You in Atlanta? 3.5 hour drive, just have a commitment tomorrow and work today

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 6, 2011 -> 08:44 PM) I agree here. Martin got off to a good start, but lets see what happens. Odd are he's crashing. He is a better player than what the dodgers got if he's healthy, but he really wore out after heavy use early in his career. He isn't this good, but he was a legit all-star when healthy.
