April 9, 200619 yr QUOTE(Jimbo's Drinker @ Apr 9, 2006 -> 03:52 PM) Look what happens when we use the starting 9...2-0 That's a really good point right there Jimbo.
April 9, 200619 yr Great pitching today. Our guys have to starting hitting better with RISP. To quote overplayed Hawk, they need to "cinch it up and hunker down."
April 9, 200619 yr QUOTE(ShoeLessRob @ Apr 9, 2006 -> 03:55 PM) haha i hate those commercials but thats pretty funny
April 9, 200619 yr The last 2 games have looked like last season, even though the first one was a loss. We would sometimes get losses on pitching gems then, too. The only downside -- that includes the comatose offense. 5 hits off Scott Elarton, it got the job done today, but we should aim higher than that.
April 9, 200619 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Apr 9, 2006 -> 04:08 PM) horray only 3 games back You have the best sig on this site.
April 9, 200619 yr Phenominal pitching by Buehrle in a must-win. Great defense and timely hitting from Crede and Dye. And it was just a matter of time before Thome got enough height on one to send it out of the yard.
April 9, 200619 yr QUOTE(TLAK @ Apr 9, 2006 -> 02:53 PM) The outfield defense was also a big factor today. It was Friday night too, but for the opposite reason. Nice to see that trend reverse itself. Defense has looked pretty solid, for the most part, the last 2 games.
April 9, 200619 yr QUOTE(rventura23 @ Apr 9, 2006 -> 03:33 PM) We are two hits from being 4-2 this year Javy and Mark have been very impressive Jose wasnt to shaby either. Edited April 9, 200619 yr by Soxpranos

Elarton pitched a pretty good game against Texas too, before they went nuts on everyone. Only gave up 2 in that game against a pretty hot team. BTW, did anybody see Jenks' velocity today? I didn't get a good look at the gun. Is he still at 92-93. I gotta be honest. I don't think he's gonna get to 98-99 at all. Very nice game today.

April 9, 200619 yr QUOTE(Kogs35 @ Apr 9, 2006 -> 03:38 PM) great win today boys, keeping it going against those kitties. Yeah today marks the start of a 20 game win streak! NO GREEN
April 9, 200619 yr The defense looked really sharp today, especially Joe Crede (is that guy Brooks Robinson and Craig Nettles all rolled in to one?) I feel the Sox got a couple breaks today on defense. Tony Graffanino's single in the 6th where he tried stretching it in to a double and he was called out. He sure looked SAFE to me on the play. And the second time when Grudzielanek grounded into a FC and Uribe narrowly nipped Graffanino at 2B on a bang bang play on a slowly hit ball. That call could've gone either way. Anyhow, I'll take the long awaited "W" . Man it was a rough week waiting for the 2nd win to come along. Like a previous poster said, the Sox were just two clutch hits away from being 4-2 instead of 2-4. On to Det. Tough game tomorrow, facing Jeremy Bonderman. Should be a really close game tomorrow in Motown.

And the second time when Grudzielanek grounded into a FC and Uribe narrowly nipped Graffanino at 2B on a bang bang play on a slowly hit ball. That call could've gone either way. When CSN came back from commercial, they showed it in slow motion. Iguchi stepped on the base before Graff ever hit it, so it was the right call. However, if Graff had slid normally, rather than with his legs up, he likely would have been safe.

Very nice game today. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Singleton said that the stadium gun was showing 97 MPH which he said was fast. He said that Jenks was probably throwing around 95 MPH.

I don't think he's gonna get to 98-99 at all. Fastball was consistantly in the high 90's topping out at 99 a few times, slider in the low 90's, curve around 85 but is still having problems throwing it for a strike. Also Hawk said Bobby was throwing 100+ in the pen the past few days.

April 9, 200619 yr Great job Buehrle and the rest of the sox!! Now it's time for Pods and our timely hitting offense to wake up and for Freddy to shake off that last start. Oh and time for our bullpen to hold it down for us from here on out... This first game vs detroit is a big one. Winning the first or two games against these guys can get us rolling.
