G&T

Lots of hanging sliders.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 10:07 PM) It's the best I've seen him against righty hitters since 2006 Unfortunately the entire lineup is lefty.

Markakis is totally ridiculous. He's hitting like .400 against the Sox.

Grounder to SS. PK with a nice scoop. 1 out. Roberts at second.

It'll be a victory if Roberts doesn't steal second and third.

Jose doing exactly the opposite of what he should be. 4 pitch walk.

3 out. 3-2 Sox.

Nothing like questionable HBP's for the Sox.

Should ARam be at 3rd? Bad base running?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 09:44 PM) Excellent range by Getz! That play saved the inning.

Lead off walk.

Thank Quentin the run scored. Dye gunned down by 5 steps.

At least Dye has had a good approach. 2-1.

What the f*** is Thome doing? He got 2 cookies.

Christ. Bergeson can't throw above Field's ankle and he keeps bunting. It should be 3-0.

2-0 O's Bound to happen since Jose can't throw a breaking ball

QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 02:17 PM) CQ got the Palestinians and Israelis to sign a peace treaty merely by saying "you don't want me to have to come over there do you?" He was speaking from a position of strength since both sides accept him as the one true God.

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 11:59 PM) I think I got it! During a poker game of 7 card Stud, they ate some bad horse-radish before bedtime and never woke up from having bad night-mares.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 09:26 AM) The things you say sometimes... There is no way Alexei will be sent to Birmingham. Viciedo is hitting .238 through 42 AB's. He only has 8 strikeouts so that isnt that alarming. Far too early to be saying he is "struggling mightily". And there is nothing to your "Seems that most Latin players really struggle in April in the cold weather" comment. Wait...are you saying Dusty Baker was wrong?

I was out a couple nights ago and some friends wanted to ditch because we sat there forever waiting for the damn bill. But I happen to like that place and I think the waitress was new, so we waited it out, cuz I'd never be able to show my face in there again.

QUOTE (DABearSoX @ Apr 20, 2009 -> 10:51 AM) Again...I feel the same way about that...it is awesome that the President is a Chicago sports fan, but you didn't see Bush Jr inviting the Rangers, or Mavericks to the White House, or Billy boy inviting the Razorbacks.... Teams go to the White House when they win championships, not just because the president still gets gitty like a little schoolboy for his sports teams. The President might not even be there. I think some of the players wanted to go and the team set it up last week.

After Q's homer today he was shaking his head, pissed off about something. It scares me to think about what might actually make him smile.

Out of boredom I decided to check out Homer Bailey's stats to start the season: W L ERA IP H R ER HR BB SO WHIP 0 2 11.25 8.0 12 12 10 5 4 8 2.00 Yikes.

Back up at 1st and RF?

QUOTE (Disco72 @ Apr 17, 2009 -> 04:33 PM) I don't think many people remember very well those all RH middle of the orders where the "LH power bat" was talked about the way the 5th starter was talked about (in those years) and CF/leadoff is talked about now. No, people do remember that. But that doesn't mean you have to put a guy hitting .167 with a .242 obp in the 4 spot. Now that I've said all of this, he will hit 2 homers and drive in 5 tonight.
