Getz quick 3-6-3 GIDP.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 22, 2009 -> 05:03 PM) is danks hurt? why is dotel warming up? Just loosening up I'd hope.

Anderson singles through the hole on the left.

Alexei has seen 16 pitches in his first 2 at bats.

56 pitches through 3 for Danks, a little better pace after that inning.

QUOTE (tommy @ Apr 22, 2009 -> 04:53 PM) Do you think eventually they will let Alexei be our SS and change Gordon's position strictly to 2B ? If there are no trades, I think Getz will stay at 2b and either Alexei or Beckham will wind up in CF...but that all depends on what they get from Anderson. If he can do what we keep asking him to do (.250+ BA, 20+ HR's) then one of the 4 will be traded. Edit: and frankly, I doubt Getz would be the one traded. He's not a power guy so he wouldn't bring back a huge return, but he'd be pretty darn valuable to this team if he can keep that average around .300 and be our classic 20 SB, .350+ obp grinder at the top of the lineup. The guys with the bigger power numbers will bring more value back. And he has a long time before he hits arbitration.

Thome takes out #545 to LF.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 22, 2009 -> 04:46 PM) Last night Gordon k'd three times, grounded into a DP and committed an error. He needs more seasoning-preferably hot sauce. I have no idea what that means by the way Sounds hot though.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Apr 22, 2009 -> 04:28 PM) I'm not sure Iran is as close as people say, even so there is almost no chance they'd ever use them. It would be a nice balance of power for the middle east, I kinda hope they do get them to bring some stability to the region. There are zero situations which are made better by the presence of additional nuclear armed countries.

Danks throwing a lot of pitches again.

Q pops to 2nd. 3-0 Sox, inning. 52 pitches through 2 for Guthrie.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 22, 2009 -> 04:36 PM) Chris Getz could be on borrowed time right now, but he isn't playing like it. Love the kid. Borrowed time?

Fields RBI ground rule double off the CF Wall. Put a charge in to that one. 3-0 Sox.

Getz now hitting .306.

So far the Sox have gotten 2 runs, both involving hits by Getz. One involved a productive out, the other involved a walk and a stolen base.

Getz it done. 2-0 Sox. Getz to 2nd.

Anderson K's looking, DJ didn't like the call.

Alexei takes the BB.

Danks earned that pickoff

Roberts earned that hit.

24 pitches in the first for Guthrie.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 22, 2009 -> 04:11 PM) are you taking requests if we have something to scream out? It will involve the letter "Q"

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 22, 2009 -> 04:05 PM) Trade one slumping hitter for another? Unless you think 1 good game ends a slump. Hopefully Alexei's turned on the lightswitch as completely as he did last yera.

Secretary Chu tries to explain basic Plate Tectonics to Rep Barton, R-TX.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 22, 2009 -> 02:15 PM) Yes, to both sides of the plate. He started working on it last season and was showcasing it in the start where he got hurt. Did not know that. That's what happens when you listen to most of the games on internet radio.
