QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 05:37 PM) HUMBER!!!! f***ing awesome peformance...seriously, not a hard hit ball the entire day The only hard hit ball was by Ackley and maybe the foul ball Figgins hit. That's about it.

J4L should write an apology letter to Phil Humber.

Mark Buehrle also retired a SS for the last out of his perfect game. But OMG, that was just awesome. Humber is a great story.

HOLY s***!!!!

One more!

Two more!

Saunders, Olivo, Kawasaki.

Nice insurance run. Now ground out or something Morel.

Don't make Humber wait guys...

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 05:10 PM) Get to see Lilly's and Beckham's ability to turn around 96-97 MPH heat. You got to see it there. Isn't that Lilly's first hit?

Come on offense, get three outs quickly so Humber can finish this.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 02:39 PM) Napoli with six homers in 5 games. And he hits 8th. Unreal. Verlander tonight versus the Rangers sets up as the "can't miss" game of the early season, as right now the Rangers sure look like the best team in baseball, and it's not really even that close. Good thing we got Napoli when he was cold. Holy crap he's on fire.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 01:48 PM) Why not? They're a finesse team that isn't very good. Actually seems like a perfect match up to me. They're what 15-5 over their last 20? Philadelphia's falling apart, I'd much rather play them.

Adam had a similar game last year against the Angels. He went 4-5 with a home run and drove in the game winning run. But as we all know it was all downhill from there.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 21, 2012 -> 02:26 PM) I have no opinion on this matter as he is now long-gone, but the Braves lead the majors in runs scored at the moment, and some beat reporters are calling the addition of Greg Walker their best move of the offseason. lol now they are. They started the season as anemic as the Mariners offense. This is the same stuff we saw from the Sox before. Some hot streaks and some horrible cold streaks.

Reed is the closer of the future. Santiago should be pitching middle or long relief.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 11:58 PM) We will not. With how Peavy and Dunn have played so far, I agree. If Peavy, Dunn, and Rios keep this up, we have a chance to win 85 games.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 11:22 AM) Verlander wouldnt be the first pitcher that Leyland destroyed. Livan Hernandez wasnt a junkballer when Leyland got a hold of him, but his arm fell off shortly thereafter Leyland already kind of ruined Verlander once. Remember when he had velocity issues in 2008? Yeah...

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 11:53 PM) Hawk forgetting that the Sox didn't use Jenks as a closer right away? It took Hermanson falling apart for Jenks to finally get the call. Hermanson fell apart because of the back issue, didn't he? OVA! Nice recovery by Santiago.

QUOTE (Jillian Michaels' Abs @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 11:52 PM) Get Reed warm, please Ackley and Ichiro coming up. He just needs one more out.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 11:50 PM) He is so not a closer, it's kind of amazing he was able to shut down the Rangers. And the Tigers too.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 20, 2012 -> 11:50 PM) He is so not a closer, it's kind of amazing he was able to shut down the Rangers. He needs another effective pitch to go along with the fastball that he can throw for a strike. The screwball's a nice pitch, but it's usually not a strike.

God damn it Santiago...

Alright Santiago, no home runs.
