Peavy's awesome.

Please send him down to AAA to mash against crap talent. It'll get his confidence back up. If he sucks down there, then well...idk.

QUOTE (Greg Hibbard @ Apr 17, 2012 -> 03:50 PM) I still don't understand how OPS is a particularly relevant statistic for a lead-off hitter who doesn't hit home runs. Wouldn't Runs Created be more relevant? Anyway, I wouldn't argue that Pierre was in decline, but OPS seems like exactly the wrong metric to use to describe his output - at any point in his career. He never got on base enough for a leadoff hitter. Add on the fact that he hit almost nothing but singles...well you have yourself a crappy offensive player.

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Apr 15, 2012 -> 09:08 PM) It has to be the hip that makes him slow. Can't a person train to run faster? If he could train to be faster, I bet he would. It boggles my mind how Konerko is that slow. It's not like he's out of shape or anything, he's just slow footed...

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 15, 2012 -> 09:09 PM) The Royals pitching just got absolutely abused by the Tribe over the weekend. KC fans starting to grumble a bit about Yost. He was smart to stand up for his players in the bench clearing stuff Sat night cause if KC keeps this up, Yost or GM are in trouble. After losing to Verlander Monday night KC will be 0-4 at home. Royals have embarrassing commercials this year like the Sox "All In" which backfired last year. "It's Our Time" is the motto and KC's pitching coupled with some injury problems make it seem like the Royals may suck again this year. The Royals weren't going to be good this year. Their opening day starter was Bruce Chen...I think that says a lot about how bad their pitching is.

I think Rose's rust is gone.

Not a horrible outing by Sale. Freaking Gerald Laird killed him.

Gerald f***ing Laird...ugh.

Very tiring inning for Sale. Umpire blew two calls in the Raburn AB that could have made the inning a lot easier.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Apr 14, 2012 -> 07:02 PM) They didn't really hit Floyd much at all. He just didn't want to give them anything to hit, kept the ball down all day, and ended up putting several on through walks and HBP Floyd has owned the Tigers in his career. He's now 7-2 against them.

What a great start to the season. It was real nice to see 33K show up to the game as well.

Way to be patient guys...Wilk's thrown like 8 pitches so far.

Wow, that used to be Gordon Beckham? Man, I miss that guy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 05:07 PM) Would you like to hear Carlos Boozer's new single? Tough. Here it is anyway. This was from last year...

So, the Marlins had like 20,000 at the game today? Weak... I guess it doesn't matter what kind of stadium you build. If the people don't care, nobody will show up.

The Sox are the Wild Card leaders right now. Just sayin....lol.

Come on Hector, prove your worth!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 03:57 PM) 3 more outs. Unfortunately, we have to go through 456 of their lineup.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 03:54 PM) WP plates Morel, Sox lead 5-2/ YES!

QUOTE (sunofgold @ Apr 13, 2012 -> 03:52 PM) How about a squeeze play? That would be stupid with two outs.

I'm afraid that Dunn's bat speed just isn't there anymore. He's got his vision back (for the most part) since he's really battling in his at bats, but he just can't put solid wood on the ball.

Come on Rios, do something useful.

So I think Dunn got to a full count on almost every one of his PAs today. Bad luck Adam, just can't pull through with a walk or a hit.

Dunn needs to make some contact here, so that Mr. Professional can drive Morel in without a hit.
