The Ginger Kid

I coudn't believe Joe sent PK. Thought he was dead at home for sure. Don't know why they cut that throw, but I'll take it.

RISP...

Hawk still yammering about payback for the hard slide last night. If you'll notice, Alexei didn't trying anything sliding into 2nd today.

how in the hell do you walk Brent Morel?

as usual

QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2012 -> 08:54 AM) Thought today would have been a good day to get Lillibridge in the game somewhere, and I'm surprised Flowers isn't playing today with the quick turnaround. Can't figure this one out either.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 17, 2012 -> 07:37 AM) I think we bounce around within five games of .500 pretty much all year long with some really good and really bad stretches, which leads to a few pieces being dealt at the deadline. I agree with this. Detroit's pitching is going to hold them back from running away with this division. Same is true with the Sox - we'll win with good pitching, lose with bad pitching. At least Detroit's offense can overcome some bad pitching; Sox, not so much.

Morel might contribute this season but pretending that the guy is going to turn it around in the majors is cruel and unusual punishment to him and fans alike. If Valencia can be sent down -- a guy who's already proven himself at this level-- what's keeping the sox from doing the same? Valencia is their 3b of the future, too! Williams is beyond frustrating.

So the Angels fire Micky Hatcher...a beloved figure on that bench. Funny how some organizations are so quick to make changes while others drag their feet.

This is such a weird team. I seriously thought Tank would hit a jack to win it after that epic mistake on Ventura's part. Debating on whether to fight traffic tonight and go see it myself...

That guy ALWAYS had a smile on his face. I'm sure he'll be missed. RIP.

Robin Ventura needs to have his f***ing head examined. He just threw away a win by leaving Peavy out there when he had clearly tired and then brought in Will Ohman?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 14, 2012 -> 08:11 PM) Ballgame! Hell of a job by Stewart and Viciedo tonight. This game had Loss written all over it at the start. Big hit from Dunn to keep it close at the start. Nice to see these guys keep fighting. Even the much maligned (by me) Brent Morel had a RBI.

wow, a pulse!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 14, 2012 -> 07:01 PM) Beautiful there! Don't hit into a DP please Alexei? never

Like chuckles was ever going to throw him anything straight again...

Gordon got lucky - that 5th pitch was a strike.

Tie it up, Gordon

there you go, brent

boy did he need that one

AJ's steady nosedive continues

C'mon Alex, DO SOMETHING

got a feeling Paulie's going yard

Remember game 163? that was awesome
