QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 01:36 AM) Didn't you see my long take? I don't think it's a fireable offense. I don't even know why he should be suspended? He needs to go read a long statement and apologize in the statement for being Ozzie and promising to be more sensitive the rest of his career. He has to stress he does not like what Castro is about and merely state that he poorly worded his "respect" for Castro for merely surviving all this time. Oz may be making a mistake by coming back to town to face the inquisitors. How is that going to help? In these situations (where there are news reporters not the jolly sports reporters) you need to make statements not take questions. The audience is not a friendly one. If Oz takes questions he's a fool. Cause the questions are all going to be from news reporters about Castro and politics. He must read a very very long statement, apologize and be done with it. No questions. I still love Oz. He blew it though. He's in a new town, new job and should realize they have no real history with him (they didnt care about him when he was a coach there). If he gets fired he has nobody to blame but himself. He needed to wait a bit before being Ozz in Miami. There's going to be questions and if he doesn't answer them, then it's going to seem like he's just reading off a script, which wouldn't seem sincere at all. He'd be digging himself a deeper hole by not answering questions. Anybody can read off a notecard, regardless of how they feel.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 12:08 AM) With that I do agree tho, WTF is doing on the Sox commercial? LOL this is stupid. He's getting in shape so he can make better moves during the trade deadline? LINK. Yeah, why the hell is he in a Nike commercial lifting weights? It's just weird...

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 12:35 AM) I never have a problem selling high on a closer, period. It's a guy you bring on to get 3 guys out. Random guys can come in and be successful closers, and it happens all the time. Hell, Santos was a converted SS who became a successful closer. I really hope the Sox turn into one of those closer factories. It's a great way to turn nothing into something. Teams pay out the nose for good relievers at the deadline.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 07:23 PM) Except the Sox also paid Tony Pena $3 million over that time. 1 win difference = $4.5 million. KW = WINNING.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 10, 2012 -> 12:29 AM) Rose was wearing a walking boot today. Apparently sprained his right ankle against the Knicks. For f***s sake... He should just stop playing the Knicks. He gets hurt every time he plays them.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 08:52 PM) Texas pounding the ball tonight glad Sox left town. I think that also says something about the Sox pitching.

Will Adam Dunn get a hit off a lefty?

QUOTE (Wedge @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 07:43 PM) The latest from Ozzie: http://www.theonion.com/articles/ozzie-gui...hinks-fi,27893/

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 08:25 PM) Dynamite analysis. On a side note, am I the only one that enjoys the Score's intro music when coming back into an inning? That analysis thing is such fail. I don't know how anyone will find it useful.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 08:31 PM) Who pitches the 9th for the Sox? Santiago.

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 06:54 PM) 6 Sox K's through 3 innings....against this guy, not so good. I'll take the 2 home runs and the 3 extra base hits though.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 06:37 PM) If Ozzie can't apologize enough and Cowley and Oney aren't spouting off on twitter, you know its pretty serious. I really believe the Marlins may whack him if his apology doesn't go well and they can figure out a way not to have to pay him the balance of his contract. Actually Cowley is tweeting this is no big deal that they should slap him with a phantom fine, pretend they are mad at him and let it blow over. Of course he would.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 06:42 PM) Morel with just a nightmare start to the season. Put him in the 9th spot and leave him there please! The problem is that Gordon hasn't been much better.

Is Morel going to pull a Ventura and go 0-fer 50 something before he gets a hit?

Sale's control has been very meh so far.

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 06:30 PM) You're the best so I can listen on my computer too with the same password? I don't know about that... My guess is probably not.

You can also get the app on BlackBerry, but not Windows phones (I remembered they had one last year though).

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 06:26 PM) I got an iPod touch http://mlb.mlb.com/mobile/atbat/

QUOTE (JoshPR @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 06:24 PM) Does anybody know if MLB audio on MLB.com can be used with a mobile device? If so I would like to sign up for it, but before I dish out the 20 bucks I would like to know If you have an Android phone or tablet, any iOS device, or even a Windows Phone 7, you can buy MLB At Bat, which comes with audio for free. It's 15 bucks, and you also get video highlights and 1 free MLB.tv game per day if you have a compatible device.

Rios is such a party pooper.

Good to see the offense come to life a bit.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 06:08 PM) http://sports.yahoo.com/news/guillen-retur...P2Fb5DKw.0RvLYF Guillen LEAVING the team to go back to Miami to apologize. Public officials calling for him to lose his job. This is amazing! Wow, this is getting really serious...

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 9, 2012 -> 04:59 PM) I suppose we could take another shot at him if we really wanted to.... He never really stuck. How convenient. Both he and Tony Pena got DFA'd. That was a pretty even trade I guess.

Crap.
