Since when did Brent take up Aaron Rowand's batting stance?

QUOTE (High Mileage @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 04:22 PM) I was pleased with the lack of them this off-season... Jeff Francouer, Melky Cabrera, Pedro Feliz...they were still aplenty.

Brent Lillibridge is hitting 4th. Yikes.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 04:19 PM) It's true. This is why I still had issues with letting go of Bobby, even though he was expensive and management had enough. He was a proven closer, and MT is hardly anything but. My opinion is Matt doesn't have the mentality to close. No reason why, just my opinion, I don't think he has the attitude. Time will tell...but that 10th is a perfect example of the role MT has been so good at, and I don't see a reason for losing that... I think Kalapse has said something to the effect that Thornton was pretty much perfect in save situations last season. The bullpen's just not right this season so far. I don't know why.

Extras again? Ugh...

Son of a b****.

Great AB by Butler there. Gotta get the lefties out though.

Game's not over yet unfortunately. Come on Matt.

Come on Thornton. First save opportunity of the year.

Hey J4L, what were you saying about Soria again? Nice jinx!

QQQQQQQQ!

Lillibridge again? Ugh. Don't even consider stealing Brent.

God damn it Mark Teahen.

Mike Aviles fail.

QUOTE (High Mileage @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 03:40 PM) Wat? Teahen signed an extension after the trade.

Never f***ing again should Pierre ever DH when he's actually playing. EVER. Poor LF defense has cost this team three runs. Brilliant s*** Ozzie, brilliant.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 01:56 PM) The six runs are not the issue it was getting shut down late in the game like the 8 pitch 10th or 11th that is leaving a bad taste with me and now the K with 1st and 3rd and nobody out. These are the games you need to make up ground that the Sox do not and then wonder why they can not catch the Twins. Those innings wouldn't have been an issue had the bullpen done its job. Last night's game should have never went into extras. I don't think it's fair to blame the offense for scoring 6 runs.

Wow, Francis threw 91.

I honestly don't know how you can complain about a team scoring 6 runs. That's not bad at all.

Something's brewing.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 01:44 PM) We'll see. If Sale doesn't throw a pitch right down the middle of the plate to Butler, the Sox probably end up winning that game. And in all reality, that is a game they win any time from May to September. I don't think they won it last night because Ozzie is finding his comfort zone with the bullpen and Sale is still a bit rusty. I didn't understand the rationale of giving Butler anything to hit in that situation. You had a lefty on deck and an open base.

Buehrle's getting killed.

So why did we DH Pierre again?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 01:17 PM) What is with Melky Cabrera these days? Is he the opposite of Adam LaRoche, he hits everywhere except atlanta? He just likes hitting against us, apparently. He didn't do jack before yesterday's game.
