QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 08:50 PM) The pitch didn't almost hit BA, and I don't think there were any bad calls in the Thome AB's. BA backed away as if it almost hit him, but if it did, it was only because he was close to the plate. The ball was a strike. Yeah, I guess it didn't almost hit him, but it was in no way a strike. Thome's also. It was close, but it was not a strike. The same pitch was called a ball on his second or third pitch.

QUOTE(Felix @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 08:48 PM) I haven't seen any really horrible calls by the ump.. Just me though. Thome's K was pretty bad. And that strike that almost hit BA was not good either.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 08:46 PM) Yah. This ump sucks all the way around. More so in the Twins favor, but whatever. Buehrle is on fire.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 08:40 PM) Perhaps he can just go out and plow over Santana. Alright, how evil would I be to dream for something like what happened to the KC Royals first base coach a few years back? Oh god, I'm going to hell.

Yeah, atleast we're hitting it. I think thats a GOOD sign that we may get it going off him. Hopefully, thats before they get to Nathan.. Buehrle is on fire tonight!

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 08:09 PM) Ya, I'm well aware that you were referring to the AJP hit. I'm just stunned by your measuring estimation. It was actually like 5-6 feet. My bad..

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 08:08 PM) That was the same location of the Thome K. Like I said, Santana is getting an asslicking similar to the one Sean May got in the NCAA Championship.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 08:04 PM) 1 foot??? From a homer by AJ.

DUDE! OMG! NO WAY! 1 foot

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 07:56 PM) Is that Kyle Orton in the stand (can be seen on closeups of RH batters) Orton went to Purdue, my college!! Woo, I hate the Bears though. Pack fan for life.

JD!

QUOTE(shawnhillegas @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 07:51 PM) im making a bold predition. brian anderson will strike out tonight.

Only been two innings, but Mark seems to have brought his A game, but then again, when DOESN'T he bring his A game! GO BUEHRLE!

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 21, 2006 -> 07:49 PM) A big strike zone favors the Sox tonight. How so? Santana doesn't even have to hit the zone to get a K now. I dont see the logic, especially since Buehrle is pretty accurate.

Nice grab, Gooch!

Well, with Santana getting bulls*** called strikes, I have a feeling we're in for a LONG night. That pitch was so far outside, I can't even believe the ump considering calling that.

Yeah, SI is pretty bad about showing their biases.

QUOTE(chitownsportsfan @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 10:12 PM) What about that catcher from Japan the Mariners got: Jinjo or something. He's started off very hot. This opens up a whole new argument about Japanese (or other foreign players) eligibility. I say let 'em have it: rookie is rookie. I think its closer to Khojimo or something. He's badass.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 05:52 PM) I'm not even sure if it's even worth responding to this. You're going to judge them off of 3 starts? Ignore thier track records and judge them off of 3 starts? Johan had a 3.55 ERA in April last year and an April ERA of 5.40. The guy starts off weak every year, there's no reason to freak out about him now. Wait until he begins to settle in and he'll be unhittable again. Yes, right now, I will take Buehrle over Santana. RIGHT NOW. Once Santana settles in, I'm sure he'll be my pick. But until he shows me he has found his grove, I'm taking Buehrle. Like I said, I'm not taking Buehrle's career over Santana's at all, but as of this moment, Buehrle is pitching better.

What a joke.

I missed the game today (damn school), and I haven't seen the highlights on any sports channels yet. But, from what I read, Vazquez PWNED the Royals! WOOT!

As of right now, Santana isnt anywhere near Buehrle's league. Buehrle has dominated in his two wins, and Santana has looked horrid/not hisself in his two losses. RIGHT NOW, I would take Buehrle any day of the week. But there's no way I'd take Buehrle's career over Santana's..

QUOTE(Jordan4life_2006 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 05:16 PM) It's just a matter of time until we lose 3 of 5 and people start crying again. Barring injuries, this is a 100 win team. No doubt in my mind. Word.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 02:15 PM) Based on a quick Google search, and the fact that it fits with my memories, Jenks came up on July 5, 2005. He threw some innings while a couple guys were on the DL, and he eventually took Shingo's spot when Shingo fell apart in his last shot right after the AS break, so he stayed up even when Marte & El Duque were boht healthy. Looks like it was infact Shingo, though I thought it was Hermanson.
