Pisses me off that Maddon can accuse Valentine of being unprofessional and then allow his pitcher to drill one of our runners on a pickoff throw...

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 30, 2012 -> 05:31 PM) Hmmm....that'd be risky, but I'd probably be ok with that. Floyd for Youk + Cash? Figure out a way to get David Wright? Michael Young? I don't know, but if we can get a real solid 3B, this team will be very dangerous. The Mets are saying they are going to start talks with Wright soon, and the Rangers just signed Oswalt... I think Floyd will most likely stay until the end of the year unless someone gets crazy...like the O's...

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 30, 2012 -> 03:56 PM) Hawk's rant after Q's ejection is reason #3,258 why the guy needs to go. What an embarassment. It's one thing to show passion, but that was just a joke. (Cue the "He's such a true Sox fan" arguments) Boooooooooooooooooooooo

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 30, 2012 -> 02:15 PM) 2nd best record in the AL. Baltimore has us by a half game.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:57 PM) I don't think I can stomach another Zobrist walkoff. That one was off Matt Thornton, I'm pretty sure. Also remember a Carl Crawford walkoff against someone.... There was one horrific blown save by Billy Koch on the 4th of July, if memory serves me correctly. Loaiza?

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:55 PM) We lost a couple of games like this to the Rays back in 08. I still have nightmares about that Zobrist GS off of Thornton

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:38 PM) Arm fully extended so his knee was probably ~4 feet off the bag? Yeah, the throw to second from the pitcher's mound is what, 40 feet?

QUOTE (Jake @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:37 PM) Certainly. Unfortunately we can't be sure whether he did do it on purpose...but Olney seems to think it is a real possibility btw, Crain has a nice changeup How far from the base was he where he got drilled?

QUOTE (Jake @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:34 PM) I think when you throw at someone in any situation, particularly on a pickoff, you don't really think it's going to hit him in the exact one spot that could hurt him worse than a bruise Any time you are throwing at a defenseless player, one who is not even going to be looking at the ball, that is dirty as hell...

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:33 PM) I'm surprised Maddon and his staff would allow something like that to happen. You don't hit somebody in a way that could put their career in jeopardy. That's dirty as hell. Makes you wonder whose idea it was...

QUOTE (kapzk @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:32 PM) wow linedrive robbed by zobrist Most likely he was trying to kill Zobrist.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:30 PM) If De Aza is hurt badly, the Sox need to send a real message the next time these two teams play in Chicago. Yeah, drill Upton and then drill him again on a pickoff throw over to first.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:27 PM) Q!uetzalcoatl might not have been tossed if he'd actually hit the guy. It's easier to make a lower-body HBP look like an accident and Wegner might not have been able to declare it intentional. It's clear he was drunk off the poisonous mushroom and felt badly about sleeping with his sister.

This will be a HUGE win for us if we can hold on... I would give anything to bypass the off day tomorrow.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:24 PM) Although umpire supervisor Charlie Reliford was clear that no warning is needed by the ump was deemed to be intentional. Which it surely was. Crain vs. Rodriguez. Yeah, it was...and I still think it's an overreaction.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:23 PM) Greg, relax. It's not like the JFK assassination here. Peavy, Rios and Dunn all qualify as more "feel good" stories than DeAza. Heck, Humber's perfecto alone has garnered more attention Crain will come in next.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:22 PM) The Rays are headhunters, pretty obvious Wegner has money on this game. No other reason to eject a pitcher who had a 1-hitter going If there was a warning given, it's the right call, IMO...if there wasn't, it was a big overreaction.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:17 PM) Didn't the Rays just get out of a brawl filled series with the Red Sox? Yes

Terry Francona sending vacation photos to some babe and her boyfriend busted him out to deadspin

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:05 PM) Hard to blame Jones. He had no warm-up time to speak of, and is out there almost 2 innings now, when he usually pitches 1. He actually pitches 2 innings quite often, but your point remains.

QUOTE (southsidepride15 @ May 30, 2012 -> 01:00 PM) Link pleeeeease??? http://deadspin.com/5914346/ken-hawk-harre...behind-a-batter
