QUOTE(chisoxfan79 @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 03:49 PM) He passed Thome and Dye as all time Sox killers But still behind Billy Koch.

QUOTE(WCSox @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 03:51 PM) I get the feeling that we're going to trade a starter for bullpen help in July. The problem with that is it moves BMac, thus far the most reliable guy in the bullpen, into the rotation.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 03:40 PM) Just been that type of week. Two good pitches. 2 runs. Geez, even Hawk at his homerist wouldn't put that much spin on it.

Fathom shows he can take over for Ms. Cleo. I am very worried about Politte this year, and have been saying it all spring.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 03:27 PM) That was Gruz. Doug made a great play. It would have been tough for Grudz to get there, he was playing up the middle for the DP.

Pods has to score on that.

Pods has a batting average

The Sox have fared well against Sisco, the former Cub farmhand.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 8, 2006 -> 01:21 PM) That was one of the ugliest AB's I have ever seen. AJ looks like he was under the impression today's game was supposed to be a night game.

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 10:00 PM) No one cares if you're scared, not scared, whatever. Just because you disagree with me and I''ve challenged you on this thread, you start getting personal. It's none of your business. If you've got something to say to me say it via PM. You have mine. Since you say you have such a stellar reputation, why don't you share with the audience the PM you sent me. I just commented on your very rude post, way out of line.

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 09:57 PM) Stay out of it, it's none of your business. If you've got something to say to me, show some class and say it via PM. Got it? I'm not scared, you're really out of line, I don't have to hide anything.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 09:56 PM) Shut up Hawk, Ozuna just flat out sucked tonight. Don't forget, Hawk was the guy who tried to stick Fisk in LF.

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 09:50 PM) I'll make sure to monitor how it goes with the whole lefty-righty matchup stuff. Let's see if you stay consistent. If you'd have stuck with McCarthy, good for you, you're just about the only one on SoxTalk. Or in baseball for that matter. You can monitor my posts all you want. I'm consistent with my beliefs.

QUOTE(JimH @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 09:46 PM) My reputation on this board speaks for itself. If you have something to say to me you ignorant tool, say it via PM. You're right about the "know it all 30-something", but you forgot to add "smarmy prick" to the equation. Just to be clear about what I said, you don't know f*** all about baseball. And to clarify once more, shove your eye roll up your ass. OK? This is really uncalled for Really, this post should lead to a suspension. Please show some class, apologize and delete it.

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 09:43 PM) What the f*** is up with these s***ty players hitting us? I think Grudz was 0 for his first 10 with 8 K's Nice grab by Mack! Grudz killed the Sox when he was with the Cubs.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 09:39 PM) Inning over. Wowwowowowowowowwowowow that inning sure turned fast. I'm gonna go barf or hit something or cry or sleep. I dunno which. Thanks Sox. Hopefully you get your s*** together tomorrow The good news is Vazquez has a 1.20 career ERA against KC.

QUOTE(SSH2005 @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 09:32 PM) Ozzie will never learn. Sweeney will kill us everytime. At least Garland kept him in the park tonight.He has 5 homers against him in his career.

QUOTE(daa84 @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 09:29 PM) not gonna accuse anyone of anything, but i read in a chat on espn...someone asked gary gillette why there were so many high scoring games, and he said its possible that the banning of "greenies" could have something to do with it. he said alot of guys would take them before their outings to get amped up. Earlier in the game, Hawk said he was very interested in how the pitchers on the Sox would perform, then mentioned he was interested in all pitching performances, and kind of left the reason up in the air. This could be what he was talking about.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) Maybe once everyone is a bit more healthy Ozzie can give the Sunday lineups a rest for a bit so we can actually start to win some games. One of the reasons we saw the "Sunday" line-up so often last season was it was the Sox goal to win series, not necessarily 10 games in a row. They won the first 2 games of a series quite often. Although the bench is stronger this year, and I don't think you will see them all in the line-up at the same time as much this season.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) It seems like a pretty easy choice when you just look at the lineups individually, however we did score more runs then them last year and obviously our offense is improved from last year. Switch home parks and the story may be different.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 09:13 PM) The Tigers will be better as their hitters get used to hitting with their new "physiques". Magglio and Rodriquez both got a little bigger after last year's slim down.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 09:11 PM) Everyone laughed at me yesterday when I was impressed with Detroit hammering these guys. Everyone said 'relax...it's the Royals'. If Detroit gets pitching, they will be tough.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 09:11 PM) Everyone laughed at me yesterday when I was impressed with Detroit hammering these guys. Everyone said 'relax...it's the Royals'. 7 runs should be enough to beat the Royals.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Apr 7, 2006 -> 09:05 PM) This is f***ing ridiculous. There is no excuse for this even being a game. What a god damn joke. Blowing a 6 run lead to these sad sacks should be embarrassing.

Hawk is saying Garland has pitched well, I don't agree. Granted the play in LF has been brutal, but he didn't pitch over it, and gave up some rockets.
