Carl singles over the bag at 1st, Pods scores, Gooch scores, 4-0 SOX! YES!

I know it's early, and he's been struggling, but I really would like to see Rowand batting 3rd against lefties.  I'm saying this before Everett bats so I don't sound like I'm whining if he makes an out here.  Rowand is great vs lhp, and I think would help generate some more offense.

 

 

LIKE I WAS SAYING! Good job Carl!

Rowand's ass should be on the bench if he does not pick it up soon

 

Every year same story....no consistency at all

Theres nothing better than a Hot Carl.

HELL YEAH BIG CARL

 

4-0 GOOD GUYS

Nah!

WINNING UGLY

Rowand proved last year he could have a monster season, and he started off awful last year also. Rowand's been driving the ball better lately, so I'm not really concerned about him. Also, we don't have a CF if Rowand is on the bench. Pods is better suited in LF with his inability to read balls of the bat.

Who cares if he did anything when we were out of it. Prove it when it matters.

well I think "monster season" is a bit of hyperbole.....

Pk flies to right-center, 2 walks, 1 balk, 2out RBI single for Carl, 4-0 SOX going to the 5th.

Paulie flies out....now down to 0.213

When we were out of it? It's not like we were 25 games out last season, and Rowand just beat up on AAA pitchers. He hit .319 after the ASB last season, and .298 before the ASB.

CARL WITH A CLUTCH 2 OUT RBI HIT!!!!!!!!

 

 

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!

 

 

4-0 GOOD GUYS!!!!!!!!

Monroe grounds to Lopez but no play, IF single for Monroe, 1 on, 0 out for Pena.

Stewart homers off of K-Rod. 2-1, bottom of 9th, no outs.

Pena hits a gapper, Monroe to 2nd, Pena at 1st, 2 on, nobody out. Higginson up.

ARow catches it in CF, MOnroe to 3rd on the tag, 1 dead, runners on the corners for Martinez.

Ramon lines to Gooch, almost doubles up Pena. 2 out.

Iguchi catches a line shot, 2 out.

Holy s***, I'm glad Lyle Overbay is on my fantasy team.

Jonnny K's him. Inning b****es. Bottom 5, 4-0 SOX!

If last year wan an indication, selling high on Overbay before the break could be a good move

I have never been effusive with my praise for Jon Garland but he just did a great job on that hitter. Strike 3, great pitch. Out of the inning, 4-0 Sox.

Doesn't it seem like Garland's slider to lefties is a lot tighter than it was in previous years? I remember Garland mostly throwing his loopy curveball that seemed to hang too often. Now, he's throwing a pitch that almost resembles Loaiza's nasty cutter. BTW, TWINS LOSE!
