Blackburn is not going to give Swisher a pitch to hit.

QUOTE (WSoxMatt @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 12:56 PM) Whose fault is that, Alexi's or the teams?? They didn't say but I would say the team's.

Hall has looked good at the plate today.....1-2 count

Farmer: Ramirez unavailable for Toronto due to visa problems. Send him down and take Owens or Bourgoise.

Thorton with 3 K's and fly out that inning. Thorton needs to take Dotel's role of importance in the bullpen.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 12:44 PM) He's been very "unclutch" since the Joba hit. The clutch thing is kind of funny to me in that a hit there to drive in a run is just as good as doing it in 8th or 9th, just a bit more demoralizing to the opponent. That is where I think the Hawk "tell me whne you do it" line is dumb. Runs early in the game can change the opponents way of thinking. 100 total RBI spaced evenly through a game are better then only having 35 and all of them coming in the 7th through 9th inning. Dropped third strike and Lamb is safe........ugh. The Twins will score here in typical "twin" fashion.

Crede and Dye are having terrible games.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 12:40 PM) Well, "my realistic with trade" lineup would be: Roberts I posted this in the blog thread. I also think Quintin should be batting second right now or even lead-off. With Cabrera hitting 9th. Come on Joe.

I am not speaking for anyone that is negative but the fact that this team was focusing not giving up at-bats this year and they appear to be not only giving away at-bats but giving away entire games (5 of them thus farthis year). Juan nice hustle there and a good slide and baseball IQ, this game is not ova just yet.

Hall saves a run as Joe can't catch on the SB attempt. Sounds like the Sox got a break. Also I am 0% joking on the thought the Sox are coming back in this game.

G-6 3-2 Twins This game is ova

Twins inning here with run on two s***ty hits and awalk. This could be the ballgame here.

Pop 'em Joe Ok Nick shut them out the rest of the way.

CQ homer, nice. CQ gets drilled next at-bat.

Dye is looking really, really sad right now with the K.

KKKubel Sox pitching is really doing their job. Go 80 pitches with Masset and use the pen. They have the off day. Massett at 50 through 3.

Is Cuddyer about to charge the mound from first? Farmer is making it sound like it.

8 pitch inning there OC with a 2-0 swingand feeble ending to inning

Swisher quite the DP machine. Not sure him hitting with runners on base is a good thing. Although it could be the rest of this team's approach wearing off on him.

What the f*** with walking Punto every game.

Nice play Swisher and Masset. 2 down.

It simply amazes me that nobody goes the other way on this team and when they do they are praised for it. F-8 Anderson is such better of any other OF on this team.

Uribe weakly ends the innning.

BA with a hit.

K CQ not really good here that pitch should have been hit hard. Crede pops out on whole 1 pitch if you're swing first pitch you better hit it hard. This game is looking.......well I have nothing good to say.
