Great NFL article phrases:

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 06:36 PM) Hopefully the way he finished out last year will return. The one glimmer of hope is that his whole career has been full of prolonged bad stretches. So last year's first three quarters doesnt mean he's done. He was hurting the first 2/3 of last year as well.

Olivo k's swinging. Inning.

Gordon walks. Bases loaded.

Butler grounds hard to Fields, Fields stabs it diving, gets Butler at 1st, 2 down.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 06:00 PM) Ozzie is in giveaway outs mode .Why bunt in the 3rd inning with 1 out when he already has a decent matchup ? Sac bunt don't work, lets try stealing unsuccessfully. That likely wasn't a sacrifice.

Jacobs walks. Gavin's laboring a bit.

Guillen k's swinging. 1 down.

Teahen singles to CF on the first pitch.

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 05:54 PM) hm. wtf kinda steal was that :S Botched hit & run play would be my guess. Either Getz missed the sign or the ball was so far in he couldn't swing.

Getz goes down 0-2 as well (becoming a pattern), Fields is thrown out on what was probably a hit & run.

Wise pops up a bunt to 3rd. 2 down.

Fields quickly down 0-2, works the count back full, takes the walk.

Alexei quickly down 0-2, goes down on a check swing, 1 out.

Dejesus k's on a check swing. Inning over. 38 pitches through 3 for Gavin.

Crisp ground rule double. 1-0 Royals.

Aviles hits it off the wall. Doubles over Wise.

Olivo k's swinging on a 3-2 pitch.

QUOTE (CryptviLL @ Apr 8, 2009 -> 05:39 PM) i think there is some changes to the batting order that will happen in the very soon future It took 2 days last year for Alexei to leave CF and for Q to take over LF.

Gordon grounds to 1b. 1 out.

AJP grounds to 1st. Inning over. 33 pitches for Greinke through 2.

Konerko GIDP. Thome to 3rd.

Dye singles to right. Thome stops at 2nd.

Greinke a bit wild, 7/8 out of the strike zone to start the inning.

Thome walks.
