QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 02:22 PM) For whatever it's worth, their WARPs were nearly identical last year (2.5 or so). Is that affected by playing time or by effectiveness on the basepaths?

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 02:21 PM) Get In a Double, and to the Plate Last night, the only reason why I wasn't insisting that Teahen would GIDP in the 10th inning with 1 out was that I wasn't 100% confident he'd be able to make contact with the ball.

There must have been something in that pizza, because I think I just saw Teahen hit the ball hard. That can't be real.

OMFG

Teahen will find a way to GIDP here.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 02:18 PM) Bunt, sac fly? I like the swinging bunt like that. Because it's also always possible that the ball will flip over the 2b on a swing like that and he'll get a hit out of it

Yay gift leadoff doubles!

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 02:14 PM) Ozzies: Darin Erstad, Mark Kotsay, Brian Anderson, D. Wise ??? Brian Anderson was not liked by Ozzie.

Q covered some good ground there.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 02:09 PM) 9 straight scoreless innings for the Sox. How many innings of 1 run ball has our pitching staff done?

That Thome swing on that curveball was cra-azy

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:59 PM) The offensive talent just isn't good enough this year to blame Walker at all It's not top of the league offensive talent, but it should be: quite a bit better than last year, and maybe middle of the league, on paper, if people stay reasonably healthy. If it's below average...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 10:01 AM) f***. I can't wait to hear my old man's thoughts on this. I dont know why the president would be flying on a 26 year old Tupelov plane instead of a newer Boeing/Airbus or something.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:52 PM) What is this in reference to? Honest question, I really don't know any history behind SCOTUS nominations. Robert Bork, Reagan nominee from the late 1980's,

Is it just me or do both Morneau and Mauer look smaller this year?

QUOTE (since56 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 09:05 AM) Why did Teahan pinch run and then stay in to play first? Kotsay (like him or not ) is a first baseman. He can run as well or better than Teahan can certainly play first better and then Teahan hit into a double play when he came up to bat. Kotsay could have done that too. What was Ozzie thinking here? With Jones at DH, Kotsay was his only real backup OF, while he also had Nix as a backup IF so he could afford to use Teahen.

Kind of always think these sorts of things are possible but then are shocked when they actually do happen.

By the way....in terms of "ozzie shouldn't have left pena in there for the 3rd inning"...if you're in Ozzie's chair...how many innings do you think it'll take before your team scores again? I think he might have accurately expected they might pull off a run in the 14th or 15th if it got that far. The only way he was going to win the game was to get his pitching staff that far...which means pushing everyone for more innings once it got to the 9th.

ESPN's htiting some of the ref work.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:16 AM) It was so predictable. The Yankees scored a couple to make it 2-0 heading into the bottom of the 4th. How does Javy respond? He gives up a 5-spot. He's getting killed over at nyyfans.com. And it's going to be the media killing that is really going to get to him.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 10, 2010 -> 01:37 AM) Its at .185 now, and there's no question that will go way up, but the fact of the matter is, you have to look past the BB numbers. Carmona couldn't throw a strike to save his life. 25% of our walks came from him. Should we really be praising them for not swinging at bad pitches? How many runners have we left on base? Liriano was also trying to be plenty wild last night, our guys just kept swinging early in the count at balls out of the zone, especially in innings 3-4. Once the lineup rolled over to Beckham in the 5th and they took some pitches again, people got on base again.

F*** this, I"m going to bed.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Apr 9, 2010 -> 11:25 PM) WOW who would have thunk it Yeah. No one could have predicted it.
