QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 4, 2010 -> 01:42 AM) Beckham firmly supported Walker, a target for the Sox's hitting woes. "We'll set the record straight," Beckham said. "Anybody who thinks it's Greg Walker's fault that we haven't hit well is wrong." Beckham worked on flip drills on the field four hours before the game and employed the same wide stance that he and Walker worked on last Wednesday. "That's something I tinkered with," Beckham said. "I'm going to continue some form of that, but it doesn't have to be as wide. Once again, it's small adjustments that will get me in the right spot because my swing is the same, no matter if I'm swinging good or bad. It's the same swing." www.chicagotribune.com/sports Like I said, Gordo go in depth on this on the score yesterday. It was very cool.

Can he hit puberty before we put him on a level with Journey? kthanx

Now that was a great game outside of teh first five minutes. Now on to Vancouver. Keep it going boys.

Oh Sharpie just about did it again...

Next goal wins. This could be the series right here.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 3, 2010 -> 10:13 PM) How did his CS look on TV? He looked safe from my perspective at the game. He was out on the replay.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ May 3, 2010 -> 09:57 PM) So I´m curious is Rios the real deal now this year? He sure looks like after a month and change. If you look at his career year by year, it is pretty easy to see which of the years doesn't fit.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ May 3, 2010 -> 08:25 PM) i also blame whitey. I blame Whitney.

I said it in the game thread, but Peavy was vintage. His cutter was moving sideways, his fastball had a tail, and his slider just was diving. That is the Jake Peavy we served up a pile of players and money for.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 3, 2010 -> 08:19 PM) Where's JPHAT? He should be celebrating the Rios coming out party. We were winning. He doesn't come out until we are losing.

That came from his belt to the middle of the plate... And of course a basehit after that.

Jose Guillen about to destroy the dugout...

Peavy finally has that late movement on everything tonight. The fastball has some pop, the slider has the bottom coming out of it, and the cutter is moving sideways.

Nice play Gordo. He really does range up the middle well.

And then there is Alexei who slid 5 feet early

Helluva a takeout slide against a former teammate by Teahen. Saved the DP.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ May 3, 2010 -> 05:02 PM) I know poker threads have been deleted in the past but I've gotten the ok from the administrator as long as no illegal online sites are linked. So, I'll start it off by saying I'm addicted to online poker and have spent my last 2 weekends on pokerstars, how about all of you? Yep.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 3, 2010 -> 04:32 PM) If its not Doug Collins, I will be displeased. I'd love to have Collins back.

Well it isn't ideal to chase Vancouver, but those last 15 minutes were the best they have looked in this series by far.

So about those last five innings in his last start being a fluke...

Here's a compromise. If the people who are here illegally can convince their country's of origin to either cover the cost of their stay here, or send a present value of their projected costs, then they can stay.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 3, 2010 -> 08:41 PM) Since when was 3 runs a "crooked number"? Man, Hawk's expectations are dropping like flies.

It really seems like most of the worst slumpers are showing signs of life over the last few days. Hopefully that is the light at the end of the tunnel.

Clutch hitting YES!
