This just isn't right, Alex Gonzalez and Vernon Wells are hitting the crap out of the ball. It sucks, because we caught this team at the wrong time, again. By the time somebody else from our division plays them, both Wells and Gonzalez will regress to their normal selves again.

If there's one thing that Teahen does well, it's that he makes some strong throws.

Want to beat the White Sox? Start a guy with a good change up.

Rios with another at'em ball.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 06:37 PM) I thought the umpire last night was the best I've seen in years. The one last night wasn't bad, but I if I remember correctly, he wasn't giving the outside or inside, don't remember which, but he was consistent.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 06:35 PM) This ump isn't giving Gavin anything. Hawk said he was really good though, xD.

Why is Gavin slide-stepping when Buck is on first?

Gavin is hanging the curve a lot.

John Buck should not get fastballs inside.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 06:28 PM) He looks like Wolverine... Or Koyie Hill. He sure is hitting like him.

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 06:25 PM) AJ looks old. Very old. Must be the beard.

When A.J. looks bad, he looks very bad.

Romero looked nasty.

Nice play by Encarnacion.

QUOTE (scenario @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 04:33 PM) Interesting back-story on the game-saving relay against the Twins. Looks like the reason the Twins 3B coach sent Hardy is because: a. he noticed a blown defensive alignment by the Sox, and b. the reputation of Pierre's weak arm. Teahen was actually supposed to return to cover third. So, looks like Alexi blew his assignment. Probably was confused because of the Thome shift. But Teahen noticed it and ran out to get the throw. Amazingly Pierre made a very good throw for such a deep play. Teahen threw a frozen rope to AJ, and Hardy was a sitting duck. So... a bizarre chain of events that ended up very good for us. I'll take it. What happened to the running into fair territory by their 3B coach?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 03:40 PM) I agree and disagree with alot of points. But people have to understand sometimes a specific org. is pretty freaking dumb with decisions. Honestly Garrett Adkins? Audrey Huff? Nady? Those clubs will be regretting those deals over Dye, defense be damned. I don't agree on Sheffield though Hudson. Sorry, he's washed up. To be fair, Aubrey Huff is left handed and teams are always looking for left handed bats over right handed bats. Plus, Huff brings a little more versatility than Dye. We don't know how good Dye is at 1B yet, although I don't think he'll be very bad at the position. Atkins is a little bit different, but yeah, the Orioles and Giants aren't exactly smart organizations. You can't call that racism, you have to call it stupidity and ignorance. When Nady heals, I think he'll be a better overall player than Dye.

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 11:02 AM) It does SEEM ironic, but your lineup will hit in exactly the same order regardless of defensive placement. Hell, if Pierre is our worst outfielder, I think that's a pretty good sign! The thing is, Pierre isn't our worst fielder, Quentin is. That just means you're taking away defensive value if you DH him most of the time.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 04:08 PM) And they say in a stupid voice "Nobody even remembers what happened in 2005 - nobody was watching heh heh heh heh..." Doytch bags. Nobody remembers what happened in 1908, because you couldn't watch if you wanted to...

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 04:16 PM) I am not so sure I agree with the upside at the plate part. Upside over last year? sure, but not more so than his best years. But I agree there is no comparison. I would say that Soriano has the worst contract in all of baseball. If I were a Cubs fan I would feel sick thinking of that clown playing another 5 years for my team. He's not even 30 yet, what makes you think he doesn't have any more upside to rebound to 07-08 form?

QUOTE (earthshiner @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 02:36 PM) that US cell one about the more drive bys is a little wrong. I seem to recall someone being shot outside of wrigley a few years ago. Ignorance is a Cubs fan's best friend.

Vizquel at leadoff? Ewwww

Royals bullpen just blew it.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 02:12 PM) did you know that the initials of the name "Blue Jays" also symbolizes a phrase used to describe fellatio of the male genatalia? Really? This is definitely new to me...

QUOTE (flippedoutpunk @ Apr 13, 2010 -> 02:20 PM) A type of Cub fan that has little interaction with people of a hispanic race outside of seeing the cooks at their ultra-chic restaurants in River North I actually saw a "twins" fan at fridays game wearing that shirt. Because Twins fans, or people in Minnesota, probably don't see that many hispanics.

Heh, Wrigley wouldn't have a lawn if Roger Bosard didn't fix their PoS turf up.
