He gawn!

we've got 9 outs to get a few runs against lackluster pitching.

 

I'm optimistic.

Dye get healthy soon bud, we need ya there everyday.

The Tigers will be better as their hitters get used to hitting with their new "physiques".

Pudge, Shelton and Ordonez are a deadly threesome.  They have speed, power and hitters that it for average... we'll see how this divison will unfold. 

 

Don't forget Carlos Guillen. I wonder if D. Young will go one for the season vs the Sox like he did last year? Did we give him a WS ring?

Magglio and Rodriquez both got a little bigger after last year's slim down.

I wonder if Gload will ever get a shot at playing LF after Ozuna completely embarrassed himself tonight.

Good stuff by Thornton there. He might have the Marte syndrome where his fastball is more effective vs righties because he can be effectively wild.

Hopefully the swinging for the fences crap doesnt start with them being down a few.

Garland with a robust 15.19 ERA to start the season.

and people forget placido polanco had the highest avg in the AL last year, but didnt qualify for the crown because alot of his ABs were in the NL

What the hell is wrong with our starters? Did all of their deals with the devil expire?

elmer dessens....im quite optimistic

Garland with a robust 15.19 ERA to start the season.

 

Garland showed no ability to pitch over "errors" tonight, but I still believe we coast to a victory if Ozuna catches that first fly.

Lets tie this b**** up now.

I've always heard that a pitching staff coming off a world series has trouble the next year due to the 1 month less rest. I've never worked with that type of group and dismissed it because I thought 3 months rest in the off season should be enough.

 

However, I'm starting to rethink this position as our pitchers have started out rough.

Definitley not looking like the best staff in the league like many are predicting.

I wonder if Gload will ever get a shot at playing LF after Ozuna completely embarrassed himself tonight.

 

Dude. We get it. You don't have ot keep saying it over and over.

1 up, 1 down

 

LETS GO JUAN

What the hell is wrong with our starters? Did all of their deals with the devil expire?

 

LOTS of wear and tear on their arms from last season. I never got the impression they were pushing it in ST, and it's going to take them some time to get up to speed.

Would you trade our offense for theirs?  I would in a heartbeat....but of course, I'm often accused of hating the Sox.

It seems like a pretty easy choice when you just look at the lineups individually, however we did score more runs then them last year and obviously our offense is improved from last year.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It's called regression to the mean. They are all still good pitchers but I hope no one expected complete games every start like during the ALCS.

Maybe once everyone is a bit more healthy Ozzie can give the Sunday lineups a rest for a bit so we can actually start to win some games.

...and Juan swings at ball four and grounds out.

Uribe swung at ball 4
