QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Apr 22, 2009 -> 08:54 AM) It's even more preposterous that every time a Republican "leader" mentions him as anything less than that, he seems forced to apologize within 24 hours. Yeah, that's absolutely hilarious to me.

QUOTE (WinningUgly85 @ Apr 22, 2009 -> 12:48 AM) Contreras lost his command. He was all over the place tonight. But I don't know what it is about the Sox but for some reason whenever were facing a no name on the mound we can’t hit the guy for the life of us. In fairness to our lineup, the rookie we saw last night (I forgot his name) is one of the o's better prospects and there are some decent expectations of him.

QUOTE (whitesoxmanager @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 10:34 PM) never ceases to amaze why a manager leaves a pitcher in to suffer. wtf? that is 1 game that goes in the what if category for the end of the year. Gotta love how he induced the DP on the next batter, too.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 10:34 PM) horrible decision to pitch to him....almost as bad as when we pitched to miguel cabrera with a base open last year I think we pitched to Vlad too in a similar situation.

Markakis owns us.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 12:04 PM) So I was going to go to this game but because my wife has other arrangements she made recently, I have to stick around so I can pick up my stepdaughter from her basketball game. The real question is, should I divorce my wife for hindering my ability to attend a Sox game? I won't divorce her, she saved me from having to watch this Jose start.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 10:18 PM) We'll probably see Johnson, Ray, and Sherrill the rest of the way. Their bullpen got Texas'd, which went crazy on the bullpen. I thought Sherrill was still hurt?

I haven't double checked before saying this, but I'm pretty sure the O's bullpen is a mess.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 10:01 PM) We got an out before Roberts got to 3rd. That's a good sign. He didn't steal 2nd before we got the out, i'm kinda happy about that. Why the Hell didn't he run? Well when you get pwned by Markakis it doesn't matter.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 09:58 PM) Ok. By "people" i mean the 6 NSA computers set up to monitor this site and encourage anti-government rhetoric by posting random confusing ideas. Hey who told you about that? You have a contact at the New York Times or something?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 09:56 PM) Remember how people were concerned that the memo would get out that he was always taking the first pitch to try to get ahead, and so people would start throwing him first pitch strike every time? lol, "people"

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 09:52 PM) Good job by Anderson...Ramirez could have got to 3rd on that. He was close to f***ing it up.

Solid AB from Alexei, nice outcome.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 09:47 PM) He's already the best 2nd baseman we've had at going to his left since Durham. He just seems like he's going to be consistent on the routine plays and has a decent amount of athleticism. Not flashy, just fundamentally sound. I just saw Alexei NOT chase a slider low and away. hallelujah?

Great play by Getz.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 09:42 PM) If I was a guy like JD I would probably get thrown out on plays like that all the time. My brain would just reflex to back when I actually did have speed. I wouldnt be able to tell myself "hey i'm slow now, hold up" Yeah it doesn't even seem that long ago that Dye could actually run.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 09:41 PM) He probably thought Markakis would throw home and he could steal 3rd without a throw. If he had waited to see where Markakis was looking, he still would've had plenty of time.

Is it hyperbole if I say this is the worst baserunning team I've ever seen? Not as far as speed or the lack thereof, but as far as just stupid mistakes and giving away outs.

Ugh, why the f*** was Jermaine trying to run on Markakis? What'd he think was going to happen? At least the run got across.

Base hit finally, Dye takes advantage.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 09:36 PM) Thome just got a gift from the ump there. And Thome thinks he can get it again and watches strike 3.

Thome just got a gift from the ump there.

Vintage Konerko.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 21, 2009 -> 08:49 PM) Pretty nasty sink by this guy on his pitch. This is the type of guy Thome needs to crush. He'd rather ground out weakly into the shift on the first pitch.
