alexei drives in the first run with the first hit, off of harden

QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 06:32 PM) Let's hear which games he blew. This should be fun. I remember Crede's gloving blowing a game back in 2005 when he dropped a foul pop up and the next pitch was crushed over the fence in the 9th inning. i was at that game, f-ing manny ramirez

the video of alexei BP @ espn http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/player...mediaId=3288836 i take it we're not allowed to post embedded flash videos in our posts? edit: Just watched the video a second time, his hand and bat speed are ridiculous..

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 08:49 PM) Actually they put his MLB stats and preparation ahead of meaningless ST stats. His .225 ba sub .300 OBP was most of what did him in. maybe i'm "misremembering" (lol), but didnt sox brass state that between BA and Erstad, whichever had the better spring would get the starting job?

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Mar 11, 2008 -> 07:01 PM) so after he threw himself under the bus, he got thrown under the bus? His performance and attitude was one of the reasons we even went out looking for another player. All he had to do was act like a professional and perform, he admitted himself that he is now actually focused. ah, i see. so this team puts childish vendettas ahead of fielding a team that's actually trying to win games. rgr that. i don't give a damn about BA's attitude, if he was the better playing in 07 ST, then he should've been given the starting job, barring anything that would warrant the most absolute disciplinary matters (PEDs, illegal activities, etc)

jesus christ, thank god these two losers aren't gonna make the the club when opening day comes around sox lose 7-5, after having the lead 5-2 in the 8th

egbert throwing in the pen!

with phillips on 1st, bourgeois grounds into a 5-4-3 DP with 2 outs, CONTRRRREEERAS!!! singles to left on an 0-0 fastball inside lol

top of the 4th, 0 on, 0 outs 1-0 pitch to eldred, crushes the ball to left 3-2 sox

QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Mar 9, 2008 -> 03:40 PM) The more I see Ramirez the more I hope he is our starting 2B/Leadoff guy to start the season./ agreed, i know he's raw and it makes a lot of sense for him to start the season in charlotte but anyone who watches the guy hit, can see that he's just BASBALL SMART, uribe is most definitely baseball retarded when it comes to swinging a bat. watching that oppo-swing by ramirez, geez... haven't seen a sox hitter go opposite field, intentionally, in a long time

passed ball, alexei scores from third with BA at the dish 2-2 game. BA K's on a high and tight fastball (swung and missed on the same pitch three times in the AB)

fields weak grounder up the middle, scores one, fields out at 1st, ramirez advances to third 2-1 padres

top of 3rd, paaaaablo leadoff single to left field, followed by an oppo-shot by alexei ramirez to right center, god i love watching him hit.. wild pitch, both runners advance with dye at the dish dye k's on a 1-2 breaking pitch

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Mar 8, 2008 -> 05:19 PM) and if BA hit anything in 2006 we might have even made the playoffs. wow, lol.

game, sox lose 11-1, offense doesn't show up once again. angels radio guys were taking potshots at the sox offense pretty much all game lol, you could tell they were happy that they were blown out.

was 10-0 prior to the last two innings, d-backs 10-5 now, listening to the gameday audio right now, the way they are playing seems very swaggerish QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Mar 2, 2008 -> 04:20 PM) All they are trying to do as starters is get loose and build up arm strength. Javy is throwing for the first time this spring I believe. Johan Santana got lit up the other day in his Mets debut. nah he has pitched in IS games, but this is the first cactus league game he's pitched

every ball ohka just pitched was hit hard, right to somebody lol

hadn't heard about a new delivery 10-3 dbacks, quentin, crede, ozuna, bourgeois, and thome all get hits (Cabrera in the middle flies out to right) paulie up now

it's only spring, yadda yadda ("He yadda yadda'd me!") Vazquez, J IP:2.1 H:5 R:5 ER: 4 BB:2 SO:3 HR:2 ERA:15.43 lol why no game threads today?

sox win 7-5

7-4 sox, dunno how we got the runs but

Robby Hammock hits an RBI double off Broadway, 4-4 top of 7th

alexian supports 4000 seats lol

jesus christ, thank god this isn't our starting squad, they're brutal game over.

this has to be frustrating for ozzie, becuase he knows most of the guys in the game right now won't break camp with the team but yet he still has to gauge their current talent level i'd be irate in the dugout.
