Leadoff walk.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 07:02 PM) Our scouts deserve big ups for Sergio. Whoever saw that he was a pitcher is the person who needs to be complimented. The person who thought he was a powerhitting IF for six years needs to be fired.

Santos is just nasty. Its nice to think we have six years of this.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 06:33 PM) Can't imagine Gardenhire or Francona or Scioscia even talking about something like this. dumb. just manage the team and play the games. With some of the crap he's pulled this season, just wonder if he would like to get fired. The reporter asked Ozzie this, not the other way around.

It is toxic if ingested, so if you have a toddler, or a dog, you might not want it.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 07:33 PM) There's spending, and then there's abuse. And there is Presidential missions, and going home for the weekend as a senator.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 04:28 PM) It's not like it's deliberate. That's the beauty of doing the messaging right; if you're on one side, you should just automatically use the more negative-sounding one for the other side without a second thought. And if anyone would know about that...

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 06:51 PM) That was the right call he tagged it on the slide on the way in, and then he got it with his foot on the way back.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 06:50 PM) Pierre just Pods'd Take that back. The ump blew the call. He did retag.

Pierre just Pods'd

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 01:11 PM) Just that Beckham hitting only .270 as a rookie doesn't mean he can't grow into a guy who can hit .350+. I don't see Beckham being a .350. He just doesn't have the type of swing and game that turn into a .350 hitter. Do you really think it will happen?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 01:17 PM) "Or something called volcano monitoring..." On the bright side, that should stunt some global warming if it ends up being impressive enough.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 01:30 PM) For some reason, I thought Jon Garland was starting for us today. Hot Tub Time Machine?

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 08:16 AM) Man Soo Lee was a great bullpen guy, not sure where he is now. He retired and went back home I believe.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 12:51 PM) This year? Then what do the other years have to do with it?

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 01:43 PM) And I just got back from the tea party rally at Daley Plaza. Have to say that I feel bad for people that rely on the media to tell them what we/they stand for (accepting myself as a member of the MAJOR components of the movement now, since I basically agreed with 95% of what I saw/heard). All I heard was an hour of people speaking about hwo they're pissed off about taxes and the role of government in our lives. In fact, the only negative stuff I heard was the pro-gay/pro-abortion/anti-war group on the southeast corner screaming at people, calling them "bigots" and "racists." Oh and to those that thought it odd that the tea party has no leader, I also heard numerous speakers describe it as a “movement” and specifically denied the idea that it was a party. It’s just people pissed about what’s going on in Washington. Kinda similar to past protests that were “liberal” and “progressive” that somehow were “positive” for the country… I had the exact same experience when I spoke at a rally last year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 01:20 PM) Is there anyone in the AL we don't expect Joe Mauer to outhit? QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 07:46 AM) Mauer only hit .294 in 2005 and .293 in 2007. So what year were you talking about there?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 12:16 AM) Don't we agree he's a good basestealer? He just had some brain lapses when he got picked off. As Ranger would say, those pickoffs didn't make or break us ultimately. Isn't pickoffs and caught stealing percentage a part of what determines a good baserunner?

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 14, 2010 -> 11:08 PM) He's leading the AL in hitting - .457 Texas has 3 guys hitting over .400. weird Its not weird at all with the Texas thing. They always hit like crazy until summer comes along.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 07:43 AM) I love that this thread made it to 14, now 15 posts. I think it should be pinned for the entire season and we should continue to track the Sox offensive output after games they score over 5 runs. It is probably one of the most neglected sciences in all of baseball. It is random. There is no science to it. Each day is an independent occurrence.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 15, 2010 -> 12:04 AM) And Colorado wins the 1st game on the road.. They remind me of the Hawks last year, though not as talented. Very young team, that doesn't know any better and can surprise people. I hope they can somehow beat SJ though, more than likely they will play us after re-seeding and we match up very well vs. them. Sharks.. ah if they lose this series, they will still have that choker label to their name. Still very early though as alot of the top teams lost their 1st game. (Pit, NJ, SJ and I'll even add Detroit in here, even though Phx has the 4th seed) Speaking of Phx, nice win for them as well. Man would that be awesome for the Hawks chances if they can get Nashville and Colorado back to back in the first two rounds. Leave Vancouver, Detroit and Phoenix to fight it out on the other side.

The key isn't LeBron. They key is shutting down the other guys. Remember, I lived through the MJ era.

I wonder how many non-pitcher $100 million players have been double-switched out of a game that wasn't a blow out?
