The Sox are in desperate need of a capable right handed bat on the bench. They may plan on calling Phillips up if they decide to go with one less pitcher later on.

Apparently Jerry Owens is the only due up next half inning, that oughta be an easy one.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 16, 2009 -> 09:48 PM) He made one bad pitch, and that was hit hard by Bartlett. He needs to trust his hammer more with 2 strikes, as that needs to be his money maker. Agreed. It seems like he isn't throwing the hammer at all, that's what keeps batters off-balance, and it's virtually unhittable when he's ahead in the count.

I'm gonna have to buy a respirator. Nice win!

QUOTE (pcullotta @ Apr 15, 2009 -> 01:16 PM) I never got on board Me neither, I've been shocked at how many people were on board, everybody keeps saying he hasn't gotten his shot, yet we've seen this so many times

thats about the best ab w risp I've seen Anderson have, he saw 6 pitches before k'ing.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 5, 2009 -> 04:46 AM) Liriano would be Saturday or Sunday...he's getting the OD start instead of Baker, who's now on the DL. Should be: MON: Buehrle vs. Meche WED: Floyd vs. Greinke THUR: Danks/Contreras vs. Kyle Davies FRI: Danks/Contreras vs. RA Dickey (knuckleballer) SAT: Colon vs. Liriano SUN: Buerhle vs. Blackburn That'd be great if the Sox saved Danks for Friday. I don't think Liriano would be a lock for Saturday's game. The Twins may opt to give him the extra day of rest just like the Sox may do with Buehrle

got tix to the Fri. and Sat. games vs. the Twins next week. As far as I know the starting pitchers are still up in the air for those games. I'm assuming Contreras will go Friday, and although its very encouraging that Colon put up a great performance to end spring, I'm really hoping Buehrle goes again next Saturday. Wondering what everyone thinks about who will be pitching next weekend, assuming Monday's game takes place.

QUOTE (Jenksy Cat @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 09:50 PM) Broncos fan? hahaha Good call, but I stand by it

Why not??? How bout cause he's a whiny lil biatch? Forget it.

Does anybody remember last year's ALDS? I'd prefer to forget it too, but Dewayne Wise hit a double, a homerun and drove in 5 runs. Anderson came to the plate 5 times, struck out 4 of them, and failed to get a hit. I know it was only a couple of games, but I can't remember Anderson being clutch in any capacity. I get sick to my stomach when Anderson comes up with RISP of a close game, and I don't think I could endure a whole season of it with him in there every day. With Crede gone, the Sox are gonna need other guys to step up in clutch situations. I think a lot of people have forgotten just how dismal Anderson is in these situations.

"In that case, that guy deserved a stolen base, too, and it was taken away from him. Toby went nuts when it was changed, and I said, 'Toby, I was fighting for both of us. I wanted the right call.' Although not the greatest player, I don't ever recall anyone ever having a problem with Toby Hall's character. In fact he seemed to be a great clubhouse guy (being the "pie-man" and all"). If Toby went nuts, my guess is it was for good reason. How can Cabrera claim that he was fighting for both of them on that ruling. Let's just pretend they don't give anyone an error and call it a stolen base, What does that do for Toby Hall's percentage of throwing out basestealers. An unselfish gold glove caliber player wouldn't have even realized he was given an error, let alone whine about it afterward.

QUOTE (chunk23 @ Mar 27, 2009 -> 11:46 PM) Considering his defense, the ideal would be after Konerko is gone, Allen at 1b, Viciedo at 3b, and Fields DH. Or Retherford at 3b and Viciedo at LF. Konerko just turned 33 and is locked up for at least a couple of more seasons. Hopefully Paulie stays with the team for several more seasons at first base and/or DH. Of the guys mentioned above, may the best men win.

Pretty good praise for Beckham on Yahoo fantasy baseball front page. Probably not a ton of new info but another perspective anyway. http://sports.yahoo.com/fantasy/blog/roto_...=fantasy,150906

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Mar 19, 2009 -> 06:47 PM) #1 - Jim Thome is the only significant left handed bat in the Sox lineup, unless AJ Pierzynski scares you #2 - No one would give up any pitching worthy to deal Jim Thome because of hisut contract Thome's not going anywhere i could not care less who throws the 1st pitch for the Sox. Has that ever mattered? All I care about is that the sox put out the best lineup possible, which does not include Brian Anderson. Lets get real.
