May 11, 200421 yr You have to get Tivo, it totally ROCKS!!! Only my Mom and I live at home currently, so we rarely tape anything.
May 11, 200421 yr I might have to cut school to watch this kid pitch. I'm still thinking about it. I want to see what he's got. Go get em Diaz.
May 11, 200421 yr Let's see if another team other than the Sox get blanked by "a pitcher they have never seen before". I am looking forward to Diaz and his first big league game with the team.
May 11, 200421 yr This is very good news. We need a fifth starter bc the extra day that the four in the rotation are missing is hurting them. Hopefully Diaz can get the job done.
May 11, 200421 yr Alright, lets see what he can bring to the table. I have to miss school to watch this guy pitch. Mabey he can give us an extra burst with him in the rotation. Who knows if he is a righty or a lefty?

Who knows if he is a righty or a lefty? Righthander. More importantly, he's been throwing strikes in Charlotte, he walked less than 5 guys in 32+ innings, something like that. Age 23, will be 24 this summer. Fastball, slider, changeup guy. I'm anxious to see him pitch, and I think it's a good decision to throw him on Thursday instead of Saturday vs. Minnesota. Always good to let a young guy get his feet wet in a lower pressure environment, see Cotts vs. Yankees at Yankee Stadium, 2003.
May 11, 200421 yr Anyone know who got sent down? At first i thought burke but he caught Diaz in AAA and i would think it would be more comfortable for Felix to have his catcher he has had this entire year for his Major League Debut
May 11, 200421 yr I didn't hear who got sent down or if someone goes on the DL, we'll see. One more thing about this move of bringing up Diaz ... Many have stated the Sox play "favorites", i.e. a guy who is someone's "pet" gets promoted instead of a guy who really deserves it. Diaz had the best results on the farm, he gets the call. That's how it should be 99% of the time.
May 11, 200421 yr Thanks Kenny Lofton, at least you were good for something. Kudos to KW as well for getting this guy as well.
May 12, 200421 yr Thanks Kenny Lofton, at least you were good for something. Big steal this trade, Ryan Meaux and Felix Diaz for 2 months of a washed up Lofton. If Felix comes on and throws strikes and has success at the major league level, it will look even better.
May 12, 200421 yr Author Hawk said on the telecast, now that Diaz may pitch Saturday after all. Stay tuned.
May 12, 200421 yr Hawk said on the telecast, now that Diaz may pitch Saturday after all. Stay tuned. Someone needs to make up their mind.
May 12, 200421 yr Damn! Damn! DAMN!!!! I have to work right after school and most likely will not get a chance to see him pitch. I really hope, like the rest of us, that he will finally lock down that 5th spot and give some good performances. If he does good, not only do we get him for Lofton, but we also have another guy in the pen that could be good in the future, what a steal! (I hope)
