QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 12:22 AM) Upper deck behind the plate are really great seats, as long as it's not cold and windy...or too sunny hot and you're not protected by the roof or overhang. It's the same slant (I think the architectural term is "rake") as Royals Stadium/Kauffman. Now down the lines and at the corners, those seats suck...but still better than many seats in the old stadium, and nothing compared to the obstructed view ones behind the support beams. Yeah, the ones behind home plate aren't bad. I got 3 for $50, which is a pretty decent deal. We sat in row 13 behind the plate and the view was a lot better than I expected. I remember sitting there back in 03 and remembering how high it was. It didn't seem as high this time. You don't get a great idea of the strike zone nor can you judge fly balls all that well (must watch the fielders basically), but it's a gem for the price. I plan on getting those seats again sometime in early July. They offer half-priced or reduced priced tickets on almost every game through some promo codes.

Went to the game today, great experience. Watching Sale pitch is a pleasure, even if it was from the upper deck.

I'm going to the game tomorrow. This game sure was a total bummer though. After the nice win last night, you'd expect the team to come out and play well. Instead, we hit like s*** with RISP, make dumb mistakes in the field, and pitch like crap. SMH.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 10:13 PM) 6 straight fastballs by Ohman thrown before that homer. AJ's pulled that crap way too often this year. It's not like Ohman can throw anything else for a strike.

When you give up 8 runs to the Astros, you deserve to lose. Stop talking about Gavin being good Hawk. He sucked despite striking guys out and having great stuff.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 10:09 PM) Umpire might by MVP for the Astros tonight. Ball 3 was a strike to Alejandro. You gotta be consistent with your zone.

There's your ball game. Our bullpen sucks.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 10:04 PM) I would like to give our team a thumbs down for tonight but applaud Rios. If he played like this every year, he'd be a rather likeable player. He's hitting to all fields, doing great. My question to you is ... why does he stink some seasons? I mean really suck? You would think a guy with consistent at bats who never gets hurt like Rios would be more consistent. I mean he was a piece of dung last year and now he's fine. WTF? Nobody knows.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 09:33 PM) Tigers lose on a bunt by the Reds lol figures.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 09:32 PM) Well, that was a terrible at bat by AJ. Lots of players on Sox right now seem to have their heads elsewhere. A.J. never takes pitches. He took two right down the middle and swung at one a foot outside. Horrible horrible approach.

Rios has been our best hitter for like the past week.

Awful day in the field for Hudson yesterday, now Alexei today. Sox have played like s*** thus far.

This has to be one of the most unimpressive dominating performances I've ever seen. He's striking guys out left and right, but he's given up hits at the wrong times. Gavin, Gavin, Gavin...

Wandy's been god awful the past few starts, but he's looking mighty fine today. A.J. and Tank are just chasing his curveballs.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 07:31 PM) His stuff looks really great. Just can't throw all fastballs to lefthanders...it's pretty simple. Zero margin for error when he does that He's had his good stuff for the majority of this bad streak, which is why it's so frustrating to watch him pitch like s***.

Altuve is even smaller than Dustin Pedroia. I find that hard to believe.

Here's what Gavin needs to do...stop throwing fastballs right down the middle to start the count or when you are behind. USE YOUR f***ING CURVEBALL, YOU HAVE IT TONIGHT.

Just wanted to stop by and say Gavin Floyd f***ing sucks.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 06:36 PM) I am going to call you Sog from now on. Wandy's wand brings rods. O.o And I can't believe 05 was almost 7 years ago. It's crazy.

Jordan Danks was 7th in wOBA in the International league at .418. http://www.fangraphs.com/minorleaders.aspx...0&players=0

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 03:22 PM) Yeah, and then I would have sworn you said "I know the feeling" I said I can relate because I currently do not have a girlfriend. I was not talking about my non-existent girlfriend.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 03:01 PM) I would've sworn you and JoeCoolMan were lamenting this one day in PHT... That was JoeCoolMan. Somebody said something about their girlfriend not knowing baseball and Joe just straight up said he didn't have one. Funny as hell.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 01:03 PM) Beat the Astros like it is 2005. Hope that DA 'OYD pitches a great game. Get past this Tim stage and into the Pink. Jesus, no wonder Gavin's been awful as of late. He heard that nickname and is now even more mentally unstable.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 7, 2012 -> 11:22 PM) I've never done this before. But Sunofgold and Soxmaniac (pretty sure it's the same person) are on ignore. Pathetic. I'm laughing my ass off, it's so bad it's hilarious. Whore DaDa...Jordan Dunks. It's priceless.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 8, 2012 -> 01:50 PM) Remember when you were talking about your non-existent girlfriend? When did this happen? I think you got the wrong guy.
