And no one misspelled 'our' as 'are' yet either!?! How are we supposed to win if people don't know their roles!?! Predicted lineup got me confused as well.

Maggs absolutely raked against Johan: 13 for 33, 3 2B, 1 3B, 3 HR, 12 RBI, .394 BA and .405 OBP

Somehow I totally missed Ozunas numbers against Johan. 10 for 31, 3 doubles, .323 BA and .364 OBP

The Indians are IMO the most talented team in the division, they'll get their wins regardless of makeup games. There is a helluva lot of talent in Cleveland, bad news for us.

Frank is what made me follow this franchise to start with, so I will always be backer #1 of the Big Hurt getting that 500th HR, no chemicals needed, and going into the Hall with that Sox hat on proudly.

Some numbers for our lefties against Johan... Player AB H R 2B HR RBI BB K AVG OBP Thome 21 4 -- 0 3 4 1 7 .190 .261 Erstad 29 8 -- 1 0 3 0 1 .276 .276 Pods 9 1 -- 0 0 0 1 5 .111 .200 AJ 11 1 -- 0 0 0 0 4 .091 .091 Just say no to Pods today, hell Thome too if we were smart, but that won't happen. Hell, Dye has had about the most success against Johan besides Erstad, with a .227 BA in 44 ABs. Sad when .227 is considered good for us against a pitcher.

I love me some Mr. Perfect. Thats back when I used to watch the WWF bigtime. Perfectplex!!

I don't understand all this talk of a new leadoff hitter, we have the second coming in Pods already.

Gamethread changed to 4/7 for now, I'll fix the starting pitchers once they are announced.

We'll leave this gamethread up for tomorrow, and fix the starting pitchers once we get it all sorted out.

That made me lollerskate from yesterdays notes.

And thanks maggsmaggs for finally bringing us the first back to back gamethread starter!

He pitched pretty damn well, came in and did about the best we could hope for. His FB has nice movement, running in.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 04:17 PM) Say you're sorry. I'm sorry that Pods only shows up once out of every 8 games or so. And right on cue, CS...rockin'.

Pods singlehandedly gonna win this game for us.

Damn good job out of the pen today Masset, lets hope Sisco/Mac can get us 6 more outs, a run or two in between, and Bobby can secure us a win!! P.S. - We'll need more than 1 hit.

Good lord that was a sick freaking pitch to K Hafner.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 5, 2007 -> 03:38 PM) What an effective lefty/lefty combo to lead our lineup today! Careful, Pods has a hit today, therefore apparently you aren't allowed to discuss how hitting back to back lefties against a lefty is moronic. HE HAS A HIT ZOMG!

Masset has come on and really done a good job. Lets get more than one GD hit and maybe give him some support...

Nice to see us taking walks and all, but can anyone do some damage with runners on? Gooch time

Because in theory, why the hell would you put 2 lefties at 1 and 2 against a lefty? What rationale does that go by? And define 'well'....we have one f***ing hit, I'm not gonna say ANYONE is playing 'well' in this game against the overpowering Sowers!!!

Where have you gone, White Sox team of olde??? And seriously, Pods is playing because....

You don't teach pitchers to walk 10 f***ing people in a game...thats flat on the back of the pitchers, not Coop... Good lawd.

Man oh man, I'm glad I was on the way to the airport here while this gamethread and trainwreck of a game was going on. I see our bullpen is trashed 2 games into the season, horoah. Gamethread post updated, someone with some good vibes post a friggin gamethread tomorrow please.

Heres to one of our own, aboz turns 25 today. Hope its a great day.
