QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 02:32 PM) Dontrelle Miner struggling to throw a strike as well. There's no way they're mad at all about him walking JD. Unintentional intentional walk I think.

He's just pitching around JD to set up the DP. Come on Carlos! Make them pay!

Come on JD/Carlos, we need 1 more single.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 02:28 PM) Tie it up here and then let's have a battle of the bullpens. Floyd will get at least 1 more inning.

Well, you can cancel the post game show

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 02:25 PM) Well, I'm in trouble. But Jim still deserves it.

Jim, if you swing at the first pitch again I'm going to punch you. And you could still kick my ass afterwards, but you'd deserve the punch.

Come on Cabrera, work him more an do something!

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 02:08 PM) lol can anyone tell me how there is a no hitter going? Our guys keep swinging at pitches out of the strike zone. Until about last inning.

Well done Joe!

QUOTE(lostfan @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 02:01 PM) What did he do? I can't see. Doubled Renteria off first with a dynamite throw.

Quentin!

Well, now we need Pablo and Crede to take a few more pitches next inning.

Well done PK. 8 pitch walk. Everyone else, WATCH THAT!

Why is Jim swinging at the first pitch?

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 01:43 PM) Excellent inning by Floyd! Hopefully we start hitting the ball hard. I disagree. I don't want us to try hitting the ball hard. I want to see the bat on people's shoulders right now. STOP TRYING TO HIT THE GUY WHEN HE ISN'T THROWING STRIKES!

9 pitch inning, 123 Floyd goes through the heart of the Tigers order.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 01:38 PM) Hopefully Anderson gets some playing time when Ozzie gives Dye, PK, and Thome a rest. It's still the first week, but it sure looks like Anderson will get sent down when Owens comes back. And good grief, Cabrera has no bat speed. The reason why I put the "games since a day off" in my sig? Because I have a theory that Ozzie gives all of his average players plenty of rest, but never sits down Dye, Konerko, or Thome unless they're actually hurt.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 01:35 PM) has swisher walked in his last 5 ABs? i think he has No, Swisher has 0 walks in his last 5 AB's. Because walks don't count as AB's.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 01:19 PM) I thought he said it was someone in the Fox studio. Never mind, I lied then.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 5, 2008 -> 01:17 PM) Who did Thom just say was diagnosed with thyroid cancer? I believe that's Doug Davis for the Diamondbacks, unless there's another one

Stone making it sound like Willis is missing on everything and our hitters are really helping him out.

Stone agreeing that the Sox were over-anxious in the first against Willis and it could have cost them some work in the first.

Gavin didn't seem like he got much help that inning & it cost him some pitches, but at least he got around everything unscathed.

QUOTE(Athomeboy_2000 @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 08:18 PM) FYI: Carl Bernstein just said on CNN that he talked with people in the Clinton campaign and they see the polls closing and that if Obama continues to get closer, they have "significant dirt" on Obama that they say they had hoped the media would have picked up by now. and they will get VERY negative and start slinging the mud if she doesnt start to separate from him in the next week or so. This needs to end NOW before PA even votes. The DNC can NOT allow Clinton to go scorched earth on Obama just to drag him down in her DISTANT hope of stealing this whole thing. Seriously, they're saying this and people in the press are still buying it? Do you seriously believe that there's something they're holding back, or that they wouldn't have put some dirt they had on him out there a few weeks back?
