QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 02:21 PM) The starting pitching has kept me going. They really have thrown some nice outings out there, especially with Floyd and Danks looking good against different teams. Masset has thrown well this year too. Heck, the bullpen has done well too. Not perfect of course, but way, way better than 2007. Its the offense that is the issue. Which is funny because, going into the season, I would have thought we'd be the opposite - good hitting, iffy pitching.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 02:16 PM) If you want to talk about how Dye's performance has declined, fine, fair enough, if you want to talk about how terrible he is in RF, that's also fine, but if I had to guess I would say the number of "worthless" major leaguers who hit .300, slug close to .500, and have an OPS that's usually comfortably over .800 and flirts with .900 at times is pretty low. Dye is slumping right now and he is getting awful at-bats, but let's have some objectivity here. Good luck finding that in the next 48 hours on this board.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 03:13 PM) The team was hitting the ball ok to all fields to begin the season, now seem to be lift and pull again. This day off couldnt come at a better time. Thank you. Some reason and logic.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:54 PM) And has put guys on in all of his 3 appearances. He gave up 2 bunts. One for an out, the other was a damn good bunt. Seriously, Wassermann isn't the problem. QUOTE (chisoxfan79 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:50 PM) ANOTHER 10 mEN LOB THAT is the problem.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:45 PM) Sox cannot get the big hit........whoever they play has no problem against Sox pen! The pen gave up 1 run in 3 innings. They were the least of the team's problems.

K looking. Crap on a crutch. G.O.

And we have our first Daggumit!

Pablo F8. 2 outs. Swisher up.

AJ ball 4, walks. Pablo up now in Hall's slot, to take Uribe's position.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:39 PM) but he got a hit. Huh? That's BA.

Aj hitting for Hall.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:36 PM) 2-7 when scoring 3 runs or less 12-4 when score more than 3 runs This team is resorting to 2007 as the days pass. This team may get worse, or better, but they are not much like the 2007 squad. BA with a base hit.

Crede was 4-9 career against Nathan. Now 4-10.

QUOTE (chisoxfan79 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:30 PM) We just dont win with Hall in the lineup You mean the Hall that has one of the few Sox hits? Most of the lineup, aside from CQ and maybe Crede, are looking terrible the last few games. Its not just a Hall problem. O-Cab and Thome are showing signs of coming out of their slumps though, hopefully that happens.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:26 PM) I'm not talking about just this game. I'm talking about in general. It seems to happen EVERY GAME. Yea...the umpires are *all* out to get us. These calls aren't going both ways, it's just us. Give me a break. I don't need to see it to hear the whining. Cheese with your whine? Good teams overcome bad calls. Mediocre teams fold beneath them. And we are NOT playing good right now. So like I said, you aren't seeing it, so you haven't a clue as to what is happening. The Sox are losing because they aren't hitting well, and what they are hitting isn't falling. Seperately, the Sox have also been the victim of some bad calls. Who the hell is whining, other than you earlier in the thread predicting STRANDED!!!!11!111!!!!!! before they got a hit and tied the game.

Well, I guess its up to the man child.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:23 PM) I'm really getting tired of Sox fans and our announcers blaming umpires for some bad calls. Based on your last few posts, its clear you aren't seeing the game, so how can you possible comment on that? Logan and Masset, and Thornton too, did indeed get ripped on a few calls. Its right in front of me.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:22 PM) Good question. I don't know. I just threw it out there since it doens't seem Ozzie seems very happy with Ehren so far, based on how he has him on such a short leash, it seems. You can't be serious. Ozzie is using him for specific purpose - ROOGY. Now, he may get used otherwise later, but for now, that's his role with the team. That's not a short leash, that's a role.

Thome K.

Thome hitting the ball well today. How about tying it up here buddy?

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:20 PM) Broadway for Wasserman, anyone? What on earth would that do?

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:18 PM) wait, PK didn't start? Why didn't he PH for Hall? Either he faces a tiring Blackburn or forces Gardenheir to go to the BP Hand injury. Nothing major, but they elected to give him today and tomorrow off.

K. Inning over. 4-3 Twins going to 8.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 01:16 PM) I still don't know why you pitch to their best hitter there. We deserved that. Great non-coaching. Are you actually seeing the game? Because that pitch was shoulder high inner half. They WEREN'T giving him anything good to hit.

Jeez, that wasn't even a bad pitch. How did he get that out there? They're walking Cuddyer. Kubel on deck.
