April 21, 200718 yr QUOTE(danman31 @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 09:14 PM) 5-4 over Detroit when the Sox didn't look good. GREAT job by the bullpen. great game by uribe erstad i guess
April 21, 200718 yr Good job on the comeback. Aardsma just continues to impress. Great win, keep it going.
April 21, 200718 yr this bullpen is awesome, and young and locked down till 2010, i think they're only going to get better.
April 21, 200718 yr Not a pretty one to watch, but it ended well. Hopefully the bats continue to come through.
April 21, 200718 yr QUOTE(Whitewashed in @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 08:16 PM) Aardsma just continues to impress. ^^
April 21, 200718 yr Danks pitched very well. Uribe owes him a steak and an apology after he messed up that flyball. His ERA would of been 3.38 instead of north of 5. The left side of our defense needs to get their heads out of their asses. Nice job by the pen. Nice job getting enough runs to win.

April 21, 200718 yr This game was a steal. We deserved to lose, and somehow pulled it out of our ass. It might be our year afterall...
April 21, 200718 yr I'm very impressed with Danks. He really has gotten some bad luck over these past few games. I like that he is under heavy influence from Mark. He has the stuff to be a good one. Aardsma, Massett what can I say. These guys have been studs! Aardsma is just sick!!

April 21, 200718 yr Great win, we scored some runs not using the long ball and came back after what could of been a crushing blow. Won 3 in a row now and finally over that .500 mark. Who knows, maybe it was Buehrle's no hitter that we needed to get over the hump. Also im very impressed by Danks so far this season, historically he has always improved as the season goes on(poor first half dominating 2nd) so no reason not to expect that to be true in the majors.

We already blew three games, we needed to steal one. If we can beat the 1.80 ERA of Robertson tomm, I might start thinking its our year
April 21, 200718 yr Simply amazing what a good bullpen can do. Erstad good.....couple of bleeders. The steal attempt was stupid Seay threw over there 5 times. Thome trying to score was idiodic the play was in front of him. 4 through 7 were sad and looked pretty sick. Pitching is everything. Too bad we couldn't have only give up a run and saved the pen. McDougal, Jenks Thorton all pitched two days in a row (two of themn only to one batter though). Hopeful we can hit a guy with a 1.8 ERA and has dominated in the past. Line-up should be interesting.
April 21, 200718 yr Erstad, eh... he did get the job done, but it wasnt pretty. Mack is starting to heat up with the stick. Iguchi, well is Iguchi. Thome is really heating up, and PK, IMO, is starting too come around, and any day now we can expect him to break out. Dye is so-so right now, but has looked better of late. Pierzynski has also looked good, but Crede still looks pitiful. Uribe, well, I dont know. He's not good, but he's not that bad, he has come through with some good hits. When will Danks get some support? I am really starting to think this is some sort of Rookie Hazing. But, the bullpen has been great so far, and Aardsma is a beast.

The guy could very easily be 3-0 right now. I've been very impressed with him...doesn't even get rattled. I love it. If I was a Ranger fan....goddamn I'd be pissed.
April 21, 200718 yr QUOTE(RME JICO @ Apr 20, 2007 -> 10:09 PM) Aardsma has arguably been the best reliever in baseball since mid-August 2006. Kenny bent Hendry over real good. I know Cotts hasn't given up a run in his first 6 innings or so, but Neal has nowhere near the stuff Aardsma has.
April 21, 200718 yr Absolute garbage game by everybody except the bullpen pretty much. But the pen won it for us pretty much, great job. And that single to get us the lead and win by Erstad might have been the most seeing eye single i've ever seen.
April 21, 200718 yr I have to say that while 8-7 isn't exactly an ideal start, when you consider that our offense has been complete s***, and we have had a pretty difficult schedule to start off, I am pleased thus far with our performance. I said at the beginning of the year that I believed this whole season was going to ride on the 1 through 4 starters getting their s*** together. So far, they have done pretty good and the bullpen has been outstanding. Figuring that the offense has to get better, if our pitching keeps this up, its going to be a fun year. Still early though. Lets keep it going dammit!

April 21, 200718 yr EAT s*** KITTIES!!!!!!!!!! GREAT TO BE BACK ON THE WINNING SIDE OF THE LEDGER!!!!!!!!!! DANKS WAS ON IT TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!! PEN IS ALL OVER IT YET AGAIN!!!!!!!!! GREAT WIN ALL AROUND FOR THE GOOD GUYS!!!!!!!! GIMMIE A HELL YEAH!!!!!!
