max power

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 02:38 PM) some of his homerun calls this year have been fantastic, his pbp/color otoh..... HE got some WORK to do.

That was pathetic. Even the announcing work by hawk was poorly done.

Juan makes us eat our words. Tie this thing up!

What about Viciedo?

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 01:50 PM) were you cracked when you did crack I can tell you this - I still didn't think Juan Pierre was good at baseball while high on the crack.

I've smoked crack before. It was okay.

Damn. I thought he parked it. Is Dunn finally coming around?

QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 12, 2011 -> 01:33 PM) Juan's OPS with us is eerily similar to Ozzie's OPS in good years. Which says a lot considering Ozzie was one of the worst players ever to receive 6000+ ABs. Ozzie played at a defensive heavy position though.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2011 -> 04:49 PM) If you're doing it for the fun, just go for the win. Never want the Sox to win and me to be pissed. Strategically, I doubt that the oddsmakers know the Sox and their struggles against rookies as well as we do, so I'd bet that history suggests the Sox would underperform. I had a few hundred dollars on the sox winning by 1.5 a few years back. They were up two going into the bottom of the ninth and Jenks got someone to pop up to left field. Scott podsednik lost the ball in the sun. They ended up winning by one. I was so pissed.

I think he is having trouble throwing strikes.

okay

Gordon had some big at bats tonight that surprised me, in a bad way. I hope he picks it up again too.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 01:10 AM) He hasn't had a good slider recently, so he's basically had to rely on just his fastball, which doesn't move. That is reasonable. I hope his slider comes back. Unforuntately, I only get to listen to most of them games, and watch at most 3 or so a week. I just know that he has had control problems. Javy, on the other hand seems to have a reputation among sox fans as having problems between the ears. I don't think its fair to say that Edwin's problems are similar. I understand the frustration on the OP's part. It was a very frustrating game for us fans. I just don't like bearing witness to the extra negativity here.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 01:02 AM) I'd say 2. I wouldn't argue if you said 3. The over/under should be at 1.5 I think. You really think he is going to make more than one rehab start, greg? Why? I thought it was pretty minor?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 11, 2011 -> 01:05 AM) This isn't a flame, but are you concerned he only had one strike out against the pathetic A's? What's up with that? I didn't see the game til right after he exited. Has he still got good stuff? I am concerned about edwin. Edwin has not looked very good in a while now. This was a better start for Edwin than the last. All I hope for is improvement. He didn't express concern, was my point, he called him javy v2, which doesn't seem appropriate on a night like this. Edwin at least has some heart. He fought for it, and ended up doing alright.

I think the blue jays failures as a team will hurt his chances too much.

He did his job tonight.

I think he was just hurt last year and never got it going.

Anyone know who has the mlb record? (just for fun)

Why even insult Edwin? He had nothing to do with this loss. Should have gotten the W. Maybe we are supposed to take the question "how did we lose this game?" literally? Because I don't think you know.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 9, 2011 -> 10:51 PM) It sure was refreshing seeing Dunn and Rios do SOMETHING tonight. I wonder who the next scapegoat will be after those two start hitting again.

Nothing different.

I'm not saying alex is a saint, mind you, just that I am ignorant about how lazy he is, how motivated he isn't, and what he is thinking about this terrible slump he is in.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 02:19 AM) If people are using one incident like this, along with rumors, and observed body language to judge a man, to believe they know what his mindset is, they might want to take a look at the reasons they judge other people.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 01:45 AM) You mean like how our slow start in April and part of May should have meant about nothing too? Everyone still flipped about that.. Its not so much that were 6 back now, but that we are actually starting to put some things together and win games.. So yeah, you're kinda right that it doesn't mean much right now but the fact that were getting back into it does mean a lot because after the start we had we need all the momentum we can get right now.. Early in the season, what matters is how they are playing. In april and early may they were awful. That was not good. They have been playing very well since then. Some people don't believe that for some strange reason. There is no point in worrying about the exact number of games back a team is, until much later in the season. That's all I am trying to say. I guess we agree.
