NO sh*t. that was not a strike.

Orlando is due for a good hit

Good for Toby -- that has to feel good.

46 degrees? Jeezus. Wish y'all were here...it's 85

Singles = suddenly very un-sexy

Add Quentin to that list...

Tigers leave bases loaded, still 3-0 Boston, bottom 6

The singles to set up the slam were F'ing sexy. Especially Dye's. It is not too early to say that this is a wholly different team than '07. Just for emphasis, THIS IS NOT THE 07 TEAM and I am really excited about it.

I am obsessed with WSox baseball and this is the only place to go while celebrating a victory or commiserating a loss; an ersatz community which represents the best of the internet as far as I am concerned, much to wife's chagrin. I love the insight, the wit, and the rowdiness, both good and bad, that can be found here. Thanks to all who maintain the beloved Soxtalk.

I never wanted him gone. at the end of '06 he was considered a friggin' franchise player. I know sentiments in baseball (sports in general) turn on a dime, and i recognize that Kenny is in a tough spot with Fields not only hinting at, but demonstrating promise, and contract sh*tuations furthing complicating everything, but Crede is a special player and i want him on the team. You have to be thankful that Williams was not willing to take garbage for him.

Crede = the only thing that is keeping me down so far this season. I hate the outspoken inevitability of his departure. He has already provided some wicked defense and even before the slam he has been one of the top 3 hitters on the team despite the injury concerns.

THAT's Fing CLASSIC Baseball. Love it.

Get him a W damnit! Some crisp innings from Vazquez

Pretty darn good AB from Crede.

Truly -- that was all Lamb, not quite Javy's fault.

Yep.

4 pitch walk to CQ.

Noticed a great exchange btwn OCab and Juan on the way back into the dugout after the slick double play; talking it up. Definitely a mix of players that will make for a competitive season. Cant wait for Swisher to get some big hits, he was a lot of fun to watch in Oakland.

Yep. Really choppy -- went to audio yesterday. Hopefully just early season kinks.

Christ on a cracker: this is a sick, familiar feeling

Questionable call, that one...

This is our inning right here.

Quite happy with AJs approach thus far

Awesome. Great job by AJ to set that up.

That was a pretty nasty pitch to K Ramirez
