Danks has been playing with fire all game. You would think he is going to get burned at some point before he is done.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 02:25 PM) What was that Pierre? I don't know if you are aware, but a line drive coming toward you is scary. That's why he jumped back at the last second and made a blind stab at the ball.

I feel like unless we get no-hit, Walker will never be close to losing his job. It's like once we get a hit, Ozzie has something to hang his hat on and use for an excuse for Walker. "Yeah guys, but we got a hit today, so obviously we did something right"

Now, no hits through the first 3 2/3 IP for every game this series! Woo!! Setting records and s***!

QUOTE (Real @ Apr 24, 2011 -> 01:52 PM) Cool. Pre-game preparation is a coaching thing isn't it? Either they arent doing it or the players have quit on the coaches It's got to be the coaching. I mean, it's obvious the players are left up to themselves to figure out how to attack the starter, and it's taking until their 2nd or 3rd at-bat until anyone does anything. They act as if they have no idea what the pitcher can throw until they have seen all their pitches.

Game 1: No hits through 3 2/3 IP Game 2: No hits through 5 1/3 IP Game 3: No hits through 3 (and counting) Cool guys. They clearly have NO PLAN OF ATTACK for these pitchers.

I realize it's not the 5th inning yet. But we haven't had a hit before the 5th inning in this series yet, right?

I don't know if you guys have already talked about LA Noire, but I just saw this for the first time yesterday. Looks pretty cool. Not sure if I will end up buying it, but I'm kind of a sucker for Rockstar games, and I kind of like the whole crime idea. It looks like a GTA version of Heavy Rain.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 09:52 PM) Lillibridge, Teahen and Vizquel will be in the lineup tomorrow. Cool. Glad they put out the s*** squad for games on WGN. Maybe I'll just sleep in (and yes, waking up before 1 pm does not constitute sleeping in for me)

Just offered Marlon Bryd and Kyle Drabek for Corey Hart, who is set to come off the DL on Tuesday. I am hoping since he is a Cubs fan, he will take Bryd.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 10:37 PM) That's why I sucked it up and took 3 years in high school. Nothing in college for me thank god. Well the college I went to my freshman year required no foreign language. I didn't plan on transferring to Ball State, but I did, and they make T-Comm majors take 4 semesters. I just looked at the classes I am going to take over the summer, and the spanish class is 3 hours long, 4 days a week. It's going to be hell.

So are they fast tracking Reed to try to take over Sale's bullpen spot in 2012? I'm just not sure why they are rushing him as a reliever, instead of letting him start. Unless maybe they just think he will never hold up as a starter?

Hit 'em with the hex!

Also, here is video of Hector Santiago. http://bcove.me/iwy8lkvk He's got a weird hitch in his motion.

Good find. I love Wilkin's swing, although the video made it look like he actually hit a 2B off the top of the wall, but they ruled it a HR?

QUOTE (Knackattack @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 07:27 PM) Don't feel like going through the entire thread because I think it will be as depressing as the game looked, but can some one tell me why Becko was pulled? All the backups were used in the last few innings. I assume so the starters can get a little rest before the early game tomorrow? Or maybe because none of the starters did anything all game.

Well, time to go check the minor league games...........

Bases juiced. Might as well get a run or two and maybe get some momentum for tomorrow?

RALLY RALLY!!!! Haha. 10 runs with 1 out to play with? I'm not so sure.

Castro! Yay! lol

3 Ks for Paulie. OUCH.

So is Paulie going to get us on the board? Adam Dunn maybe accidentally runs in to one?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Apr 23, 2011 -> 06:54 PM) I wonder if FOX is going to switch to the Sox/Tigers game as soon as this Giants game ends. The STL/CIN game went to a rain delay, so they switched to Giants/Braves, but I think they may rather show a blank screen then show this s***ty Sox/Tigers game. LOL, they decided to just show some highlights and kill time until the umpires said they could play again. Haha, I wish Penny still had the no-hitter so I could actually see how bad this team looks.

Mark Teahen is still awful.
