QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 03:15 PM) i think it's one of those things where Hawk just knew instantly that it was a run at the very least He does that all the time though, I half-expected him to start going "STRETCH!"

Ugh Hawk, Konerko did not hit that ball that hard, got me excited for no reason. But a sac fly is good too.

Damn, Jermaine Dye looks just like his dad.

Quentin hit again.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 02:08 PM) The biggest thing Getz has to do to stay in the big leagues is turn on that inside fastball. The scouts are definitely reporting that if you pitch him inside, he will chase that pitch all day and not hit it with authority. I think that's the same thing that happened to Sweeney a couple days ago wasn't it?

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 02:07 PM) They were shading PK right up the middle. I know, but he hit it hard. I have to see a replay.

QUOTE (SoxFanForever @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 02:06 PM) He looks much more comfortable up there this year. His strike zone judgment looks decent, I still don't know about his swing.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 19, 2009 -> 01:56 PM) Caught a break, as Garza broke up a likely double play by deflecting PK's flare up the middle. That ball was sharply hit, if it passed Garza it probably would've gone up the middle. I don't think it would've been a DP.

AJ!!!

Although when he talks about what he inherited, he does have a point about the deficit. It's really disingenuous for the GOP to be attacking him on it like it was his fault when they know full well it was their doing, and it took time for them to get it that way.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Apr 18, 2009 -> 11:40 PM) I couldn't agree more. However, I don't want my current president going around talking how much better he is then the last one. You just don't do that. I don't ever, EVER remember that being done. It's always been a move on, here's what I want to do thing. I have heard more "I have inhereted XYZ" from this adminstration... and the selected releasing of documents when it's timed with speeches and advertisements in foreign countries... that's BS to me. I agree that he's been far too focused on optics and trying to look good. I'm all about diplomacy and the warming of relations with countries we haven't gotten along with (Cuba, Venezuela) but he's kind of getting on my nerves with the emphasis on how he's going to make it a point to respect them instead of talk down to them. You already made that point in your inauguration, the world is waiting. If you're serious about it then your actions will show it, you don't have to constantly remind everyone. I guess at the end of the day that's all that will matter when people look back at his presidency, but in the meantime, he's just serving up alley-oops to his opponents.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 18, 2009 -> 10:42 PM) Good hit finally but his fielding is pretty bad too I just wish he would bat lefty. He really sucks from the right side.

JD took a really good route to that ball.

Brian, wtf was that

Betemit manages to not completely embarrass himself tonight.

I really expected Longoria to make that play, but it was just a really odd bounce. Lucky little bloop for CQ but I'll take it.

We were wrong for invading Iraq because, "morality" or whatever aside, it was a breathtakingly and appallingly stupid decision that was badly mismanaged for the first 3 years to boot. If we were so dead-set on doing it the least we could've done was not half-assing it.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Apr 18, 2009 -> 08:56 PM) he's shown to be a great asset on the bases, but with a bat he's been absolute garbage, i think he's being a bit (quite a bit) overrated on here Really? How so? Nobody here has much faith in his bat, seems the consensus is that Getz should've started this game.

Paulie hits a laser right into Longoria's glove.

Wow, that one took some balls.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Apr 18, 2009 -> 08:50 PM) I would rather have Josh swinging here. Yeah this is dumb.

Ok, I guess I'll take a walk over a sac bunt.

Sac bunt here, Lillibridge can't hit for s***.
