QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:25 PM) About to be 7 games out with no momentum for the Sox. Could be double digits by end of next weekend if we don't start playing better. If you get to that point, you absolutely start considering blowing it up. And I do believe they will have a fire sale if things go bad. Oh goodness...it's still too early for that....imagine if the Twins had done this over the course of the last several years....

QUOTE (skidoochic @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:24 PM) I am worried! He might need to get iced down later! He's getting out of his little slump, we can't afford for him to get hurt. Can you please ask him to start throwing out some runners for us?

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:18 PM) Gordon's radio show has been getting so awkward to listen to as this slump persists He has his own radio show now?

QUOTE (skidoochic @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:18 PM) iamshack - why, cuz I l-o-v-e A.J.???? Uh huh...you were so worried...

Cmon' Gordo...we may need to start a Juan-O-Meter...

QUOTE (skidoochic @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:12 PM) Way to go A.J. - but was he limping in the dugout??????? Hah, your handle, your avatar, and your post all combined to make me laugh there...

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:09 PM) AJP CRUSHED that ball. Nice to see him hitting the ball better. Yeah, he's emerged from his slump.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:06 PM) Sometimes you just need to tip your cap 5 to 6 times per week. Hah...touche

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:05 PM) Well the fact that they have twice as many runs 6 as we have hits may pose a problem in the cause of trying to win this game. Details...DETAILS!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:03 PM) Yes, I love that word...and it's Clark Kellogg Yeah, you got my point though...Do we have the physicality though?

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2010 -> 09:02 PM) Agreed, this offense has no spurtability. Even when they score a few runs in an inning, they find a way to do something to kill momentum. On the bright side, Beckham looks decent tonight. I wish I could bet Sox fans about who would end up with a higher batting average this season, Beckham or Jones. What are you, Bill Raftery now or something?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 4, 2010 -> 09:00 PM) This is an example on how pitch counts dont dictate when you pull a guy. Gavin pretty much on the ropes early in the game and threw of stress filed pitches. Once he got to the 5th you consider it a job well done. Letting him flail in the wind at the end was pointless. Well I am not watching, but from some of the posts I read here I had the impression that Gavin was had recovered and started to locate? I really do feel like I jinxed him...

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:58 PM) See, I disagree. I'd rather not have to watch this and just follow it online instead of being tempted to watch the game. Well, maybe so...but it is a bit frustrating when the other team scores 4 runs faster than you're damn GameTracker can refresh. Somehow when you are watching on tv you feel like you have more control over things...

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:56 PM) Time to watch Lost. Ozzie is just leaving Gavin in to die right now. Someone might want to wake him up. Is that different than what you're watching now?

Fack. It's games like this where it sucks to be watching on the intrawebs.

Ahh s***...I had to go and jinx Gavin. Let's hold them here and actually score some runs.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:53 PM) I had no idea how dominate Contreras has been as a reliever with the Phils. That's good to know. I will always love Jose.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:50 PM) Almost impossible inning for Gavin to not give up runs this inning. Why do you say that?

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:48 PM) Really, I consider him more of a mascot than an announcer. In fact, he rivals Southpaw. If Hawk were fuzzier, greener, and a better dancer, I'd say we should just consolidate the two jobs. Maybe so, but I love the Hawkeroo....there is something about having someone up there that you feel is going through the same s*** as you...a lot more people are going to miss him when he's gone...and then he will become legendary.

We need to get Hochevar out of this game next inning.

QUOTE (Brian @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:43 PM) Does Hawk have a list of things/points that he repeats every game but trys to pass it along as some new thought? 1. Strike 1 is the most important pitch in baseball 2. A well located fastball is the most important pitch in baseball 3. Baseball is a battle of the bullpens these days Feel free to add. Don't forget how the umpires have taken away the pitchers' ability to pitch inside! And that 1-1 pitch is a huge, huge pitch in the grand scheme of things! And Yaz is one fine piece of ass!

QUOTE (fathom @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:42 PM) Beautiful head movement Now that's what I like to hear, Gordo!

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 4, 2010 -> 08:40 PM) You should move to your left, it takes pressure off your right hand. Did he stroke it hard to right? Did he get good wood on it?

Oh thank goodness....describe it some more for me...I have been so worried about Gordo...I can hardly jerk it anymore I have been so concerned...

Hell of a job battling through this by Gavin. If this were Danksy, he would be receiving multiple blowjobs by now.
