QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 20, 2011 -> 08:37 PM) The appendectomy was a while ago. I know, and his realization that he would be a DH happened like 7 months ago. I'm just saying I think that appendectomy hurt his performance for a while, not that I think it's STILL affecting him to this day.

I have a good feeling about Blastro tonight.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ May 20, 2011 -> 08:35 PM) You got to wonder how much that is affecting his hitting, as it's been pretty ugly and we're now 2 months into the season. If he is really a great player, it shouldn't affect him this much. I would think if anything, the appendectomy had more of an effect.

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 20, 2011 -> 08:29 PM) Still 0 hits vs. Lefties? Wow, he must be hitting like .330 vs. righties then. Or .250. Wow, he has had only like 25 at-bats vs. lefties this year.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ May 20, 2011 -> 08:31 PM) Didn't Dunn say last year he didn't want to DH at the trade deadline when all of those rumors were surrounding him? He better heat up soon otherwise he's just another guy to worry about (i.e. Rios, Beckham, etc) I believe he has said that over his entire career, but after he was signed said he now just wants to win, and will play wherever.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2011 -> 08:25 PM) Lilly has nothing on his pitches. It's games like this I wish Viciedo was on the roster so Dunn can't continue his 0 for the season vs lefties. Still 0 hits vs. Lefties? Wow, he must be hitting like .330 vs. righties then.

"This fog is unusual" Rapture, duh.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2011 -> 08:19 PM) No, he should have pitched around. Humber almost looks too fresh, as his velocity is higher than usual. This Dodgers lineup is terrible, and only has two guys you need to be careful with. When Hawk calls out your strategy, you know you messed up. Pitching around or nibbling, I agree with. Intentionally walking a batter in the 1st inning, I do not.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2011 -> 08:16 PM) Smart job pitching to Kemp with a base open. Can't be afraid in the 1st inning. Should have nibbled.

Man, Matt Kemp is pretty good.

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ May 20, 2011 -> 07:53 PM) http://withleather.uproxx.com/2011/05/the-...s-you-macho-man Ozzie tweeted about Macho, I don't think AJ has. I just know he loves his wrestling. Let's win it for Mach, he once tried out for the White Sox. OoOoOOoOOoooO Yeahhhh. Dig it! Really? Also, sick hook by Humber there. That thing drops off the table.

I would just tell her to work from home. Or to film it and make the company extra money.

QUOTE (knightni @ May 20, 2011 -> 07:34 PM) Speculation, or was that posted somewhere by the media? lol

Interesting stat that I hope I don't jinx. The Sox bullpen has a 0.93 ERA in the month of May.

Is it bad that I plan on switching back and forth between the Sox game and the Cubs/Red Sox game? I just love Fenway's field, and I'm curious to see how bad Soriano plays the monster.

QUOTE (danman31 @ May 20, 2011 -> 04:32 PM) Axelrod and Leesman don't do it for ya? I'd say they're on par with Doyle and Leesman probably ahead simply because he's a lefty. I take that back, I am a fan of Axelrod.

Ozzie accidentally put Morel in the lineup tonight. McPherson must have asked for a day off.

QUOTE (NHDadUmp-RI @ May 20, 2011 -> 01:54 PM) Saturday, first start! Told it was a "spot start", but maybe... Flying to Jax, car-less don't you know. Need a good start T! (BTFW, Mr Doyle's my fathers name. "John" works fine for me.) Wait, this is Terry Doyle's father? How cool! Can't wait to finally have a starting pitcher to follow in B'Ham! lol, AA was so barren w/ anything good on the starting pitching end.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 20, 2011 -> 10:34 AM) Oh I can't wait to hear this story on this one. Apparently he got HBP, and then turned around and got in to it w/ the catcher. No "fight" per say, but the benches cleared.

Some of my favorites from my friend who does this.....

Red Sox trade for Franklin Morales. DFA Hideki Okajima.

We are now better than Minnesota, Seattle, Houston, and San Diego!

Umm.....obviously? In fact, I wish I had tickets so I could give them a standing ovation myself.
