QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 10:34 PM) Odd! Tie game after 8, there is no save opportunity for the home team the rest of the evening.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 10:24 PM) Beckhams on pace to be the worst hitter ever! Yes but he gets treated like it. There will actually be some very unhappy people when he starts hitting.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 10:22 PM) Good inning Belly. He has been much better lately.

Beckham the statue makes a nice play.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 10:16 PM) It's almost like a rookie gets more rope than a 6 year veteran. The good news is Marcus is now on pace to break Adam Dunn's team record 222 strikeouts. It is not rope. What he is getting is delusion. A guy on pace to perhaps set a major league record striking out with a .275 OBP was actually called a professional hitter on this board.

If Beckham had 3 ks and a check swing to the pitcher, it would be ugly.

Eaton looked a little gimpy at the end.

Rack em up again. This is incredible. The Sox really should be getting destroyed right now.

Well, he had to walk him.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:59 PM) Heads up, Hawks game is back on I'll hop on the bandwagon during the finals and see if I can cut out of work to "go to the parade".Carcillo brought the Cup to the Rush show I went to last year, the day of the parade. That was pretty cool. It was funny all the people screaming about the cup had no idea who he was. The guy next to me thought he was Sharp. Yeah, they look ALOT alike.

The only thing that saves De Aza from stupidity is if the contact play was on. Considering his past, it is hard to assume that, but then again maybe they just want to take as muchinstinct and thinking out of the equation as possible when he is on base. Flowers was just dumb. Maybe it a product of his barely being on base most of his career.

First off, De Aza has to let the ball get past the pitcher. And Flowers has to run to third, not stop 10 feet from it and run back.

De Aza and Flowers acting like tonight was their first time running the bases.

Has anyone ever noticed at the beginning of the season, Beckham is pretty buff. By August he gets pretty thin.

Beckham got the job done.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:51 PM) So how is Beckham going to ruin this inning? He will somehow strikeout into a triple play.

Hawk....Alexei is no kid. He's like your age.

Tanks is hitting the ball hard.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:46 PM) Ray's announcers say we have a 110 BBs by our pitchers so far? Wow It was 10 higher than the next most coming in. Tonight 7 in 4 innings.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:43 PM) Abreu has tied a rookie record for homers in April with 8. He apparently hits a lot to CF. It is the one place the ball doesn't jump at USCF. But I guess he doesn't need the help.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:36 PM) Ya there's no reason to crucify Robin tonight, Erik couldn't get anyone out and when he does he's lucky. And if it means Petricka and Putnam aren't available tomorrow, who cares. They still have a shot tonight.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:32 PM) How is your command? Let's just say I would fit right in.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:30 PM) Cannot be any worse than Paulino, Johnson or Leeman. True. But you could almost say that if the Sox signed me.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:28 PM) It would be nice if Hanson came up and was serviceable. Also a pipedream.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 08:25 PM) He's managing this game like it's game 7 of the world series instead of just letting Johnon eat it. Now, we probably still won't win this game, and the pen will be shot for the rest of the series. So he is actively losing this game by not leaving the guy who couldn't get anyone out in the game. There will be relievers available tomorrow.
