Alright Quentin! They were just talking about being impressed by Longoria's D.

Javy made Hinske look stupid haha. Way to not let that 2 out hit get to you. Let's get 4 more!

QUOTE (RME JICO @ Apr 18, 2008 -> 04:59 PM) Both at .189. I stand corrected. Thankfully.

Tampa guys just said Neimann or w/e has had 5 3-2 counts. I love it. Great inning boys. I'm glad there were 2 on for Thome.

BACK TO BACK .170s!!!!!!

THAT WAS CRUSHED! WAY TO GO THOME!!!!!

Jeez Thome hit that ball a mile high. Hinske looked funny.

Nice AB Swish as usual. There sure is a lot of drumming etc. noise going on.

Hahaha, hasn't Uribe only reached on errors and walks lately? When's the last time he got a HIT?

WOW! I can't believe they couldn't get one run.

QUOTE (rafacosta @ Apr 18, 2008 -> 04:40 PM) what happened? Had Longoria caught in a run down. He runs back to third PAST Ozuna and slides in safe as OCab wasn't quite there to cover.

What the hell was that?

Well that sucks. Hopefully it set up a DP.

I really hate it when Uribe leads off innings. Just for that reason I wish Ozuna had gotten on.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2008 -> 04:25 PM) Isn't Pena also in a real bad slump? I saw somewhere that he has 6 homers and 4 singles.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 18, 2008 -> 04:22 PM) One off day in 15 games for a day coming off major back surgery is not the worst idea in the world. That translates to a 152 game a year pace for him. Even though he had a good day yesterday, I wish it had come then. Baltimore is a much slower team.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 18, 2008 -> 04:19 PM) And that's why Ozuna should not be playing 3rd base. The defensive mojo needs to turn around. With a fast lineup I think Crede should definitely be playing. If the problem continues I can only hope Joe will come in for the later innings.

Ugh, I can't believe we couldn't score. Let's go Javy!

Atta boy swish.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 18, 2008 -> 04:00 PM) I say this every year, but I hate watching games from Tropicana on TV. Looks so dark and dull. Luckily they'll be getting a new park. That park looks SWEET!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 18, 2008 -> 03:51 PM) A couple guys named Vazquez, Danks, and Buehrle might have something to say about that. Yeah I can hope so. But aren't the Sox and Tampa tied for the lead in hrs? That's why I expect some high scoring games. The only thing that makes me think otherwise is that Tampa is fairly young and so veteran pitching may over match them.

Aside from CF Tampa's park is smaller than the Cell. I really think this entire series may be a slug fest.

Well I'm sure not excited about this lineup. I'd guess Uribe's only in there since 3b D won't be great tonight. Might as well keep one side above average. I hope the bats come out tonight.

I'm gonna throw some of my severe optimism out there and say we light Blackburn up!! All the extra base hits in Detroit can only mean tons of long balls in the cell.

I could get used to this pen. And I probably will be getting used to it with our starting staff. AJ could easily be the AL player of the week if he keeps it up. I was wondering where those down the line doubles we always saw in oakland were in Swish. But he'll start hitting eventually. This year will be fun when all cylinders are running. Oh and if they win tomorrow Sox are a Verlander killer.
