Matchup between two playoff teams and the Rays aren't drawing any better than the Sox. Weird. EDIT: I guess "weird" isn't the right word. Sad.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 30, 2012 -> 02:11 PM) Just wait til he faces the Tigers! The Legend of Quintana WTF? They don't have tigers in Central America....I'm starting to doubt the veracity of these sources

Beckham hit that ball pretty hard the opposite direction

LOL Hawk..."That's the first guy he has hit this year..." Except in the first inning...of the game you're calling RIGHT NOW.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:53 PM) AJ got drilled. Totally intentional. That really seemed intentional, yeah. Not sure why, but it is A.J., after all.

Rios murdered that thing

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:47 PM) I just hope he doesn't ban himself from earth now... Use your penis, Q! I lawled

Considering our RISP numbers of late, hard to complain too much about that inning.

Still no balls hit in the air so I guess he might as well use his changeup like a sinker.

Alexei! Finally, the numbers are moving towards the level he's been deserving for weeks now.

Quite the impressive inning for Q!perserpent

Only a slight Upton-face on that K

6 batters, nothing in the air...

.400 doesn't happen through sheer skill RIOS!

Haven't seen Quintana pitch. Does he have the repertoire to take advantage of the generous curveball strike zone this ump is giving?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 30, 2012 -> 11:57 AM) Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan Rays vs. Quintana: Pena 3, Upton 8, Joyce 7, Zobrist 9, Scott DH, Rodriguez 4, Sutton 5, Molina 2, Johnson 6. Cobb P. Anybody know Maddon's thinking using Pena as a leadoff hitter? Is his .343 OBP the best they can do?

QUOTE (LVSoxFan @ May 30, 2012 -> 11:41 AM) In answer to the OP, this is the most fun I've had watching the Sox in years. Especially last night. That's the game I've been waiting to see forever. We just look... like winners. Great pitching, D, small hits, homers, everything firing on all cylinders. Gawd at this rate I may have to backtrack and admit that bringing Ventura on was a stroke of genius by KW, but let's not get ahead of ourselves... KEEP IT UP, BOYS. It'll be interesting to see if attendance gets a bump this weekend. You'd think it'd have to. At this point, there's no way casual Chicagoans haven't heard about the tear the Sox are on. If winning is what brings Sox fans out, as the maxim has gone for a decade now, it's gotta turn around soon. If not...I don't know what else the Sox can do to attract people.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 30, 2012 -> 11:26 AM) I vote the thread title be changed to "Jackin' Dayan" Little Ditty?

Hahahaha awesome! Oh, Chris Sale, may you never flame out!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 30, 2012 -> 09:56 AM) Josh Fields was never a can't miss guy. No, they're not very similar players at all except early power and questionable ability to handle the fastball. But he did come up and look incredibly legitimate.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 30, 2012 -> 09:52 AM) Sox up to #3 in the CBS Power Rankings. Haha jumped from 17 to 3. If Power Rankings were important, that would be too fast a rise to be comfortable with. Just shows how fast this could all fall apart, too. But I'll take the recognition where we can get it!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 30, 2012 -> 09:44 AM) If the Sox were the Rays, they'd be trying to do it right now, not waiting to the end of the season. But that's never been the Sox's way. If they try to do such a thing, their usual pattern is to wait until a guy is closer to arbitration and then pay a little more at that time (See: Alexei Ramirez, multiple pitchers). I'm sure glad they didn't pull a Rays with Josh Fields

I'm sure this has been answered before, but has Viciedo officially lost his Rookie status for this season?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 30, 2012 -> 04:31 AM) I don't know anything about this feathered thing, but I just hope new Q can give us 6+ innings of 2-3 run baseball. I'd be elated with that. Oh don't be so coy, we all know you're rooting for the penis blood too.
