G&T

QUOTE(daa84 @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 10:31 PM) that may have just bought alexei a few more games in the starting lineup You are right. The problem is the pitcher is a AAAA pitcher...which tells us where Alexi is right now.

Ramirez with his first hit!

AJ padding his stats like I'm padding my posts.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 10:23 PM) theres nothing you can do but laugh really hard at that Uribe had an hour to throw to first for the out and he threw it in the dirt. As for Thornton, yes.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 10:21 PM) i guess im just glad we cant send andy gonzalez and darin erstad out there Erstad = Ramirez (I like Ramirez but he's not ready) Gonzales = Uribe

QUOTE(joesaiditstrue @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 10:19 PM) he had no command facing thome, or konerko, and dye swings at a 3-2 pitch that's not in the strike zone, after going ahead in the count 2-0 and the two following strikes that followed that 2-0 count, only 1 was a strike and JD fouled it off, the other pitch wasn't even in the zone and the HP umpire called it a strike whether or not perez wanted to throw a strike or not, he didnt and all indications pointed to his command being off by judging the two previous at bats before dye. meanwhile, a walk brings in 1, a hit brings in at least 2 dye shouldn't have been swinging the bat there, period So...he should be taking all the way on a 3-2 pitch?

According to the Cleveland announcer's Thornton may have hit Sizemore on purpose, even though he swung into the ball, and Thornton should not hold the runner. OK

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 10:16 PM) you're right.... its too early. I'm just frustrated but it does feel like the sox have blown a ton of opportunities They haven't shown the patience to let the game come to them. They get into a scoring situation and let them off the hook. Same as last year.

QUOTE(joesaiditstrue @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 10:14 PM) can't believe Dye wasn't smart enough to know that he wasn't going to throw him a strike there. get your head in the game, fool. 6-1 lead, bases juiced, yeah he's gonna give you a pitch to hit, when a walk brings 1 home. genius. Guh? Actually he was almost certainly going to throw a strike because he doesn't want to walk him. Innings get out of control because you don't make guys hit the ball. See Vasquez today.

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 10:13 PM) Anybody have numbers on this team with RISP this season? After 2 games? really?

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 10:08 PM) Simple Prediction: K Well done.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 10:08 PM) Simple Prediction: K C'mon, no love for the weak grounder?

Bases loaded. 2 out. Dye up.

Could ONE guy not swing at a ball in the dirt? Jesus.

QUOTE(almagest @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 10:01 PM) Cleveland fans chanting "You're a traitor" to Thome. Classy bunch. It's brutal. Twins fans cheered Hunter.

Swish Ks swinging at a 58 footer.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 09:51 PM) did he just actually hit a high fastball? Looked over his head.

Uh oh, a pitcher we've never seen.

QUOTE(Allsox @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 09:43 PM) You know what's sad? In my anger over the fact Uribe's the starting 2B and Alexie Ramirez somehow is the starting CF, I completely missed the fact that MacDougal is still on this team. How the hell did that happen?!? Well he's making his presence known tonight. With authority.

QUOTE(Friend of Nordhagen @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 09:36 PM) Harold almost showed emotion. Almost. Even the Cleveland announcers said that.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 09:35 PM) he was safe...didnt matter...uribe was up next It does matter because now he's an automatic out next inning.

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 09:34 PM) i didn't even think it was all that close. It wasn't. The Sox can lose games on their own. The umps don't need to help.

Please get tossed. Everyone get tossed.

QUOTE(AbeFroman @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 09:27 PM) a baserunner! with alexi ramirez, crede and uribe to follow... sigh... Yeah. The Rally Killers

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 09:19 PM) Mac has 2 more outings to prove himself, otherwise he should be down in AAA with Wasserman back up. Has 1 player really decreased in stock as much as MacDougal has since the end of 2006? Crede probably.
