Javy just battling today. 56 pitches through 3, only a few more than Kazmir though.

that's my hope, keep it a one run game and get into that pen.

What happened?

 

Dove for the ball and tried to make an out. Ball got by him. So he basically turned a single into a double which lead directly to a run.

damnit. Q hit a bullet

that's my hope, keep it a one run game and get into that pen.

 

Yeah, maybe we can make some contact against Al Reyes' high 80s fastball tonight.

give us the lead, PK. no DP!!

I'd be happy if he could just get on base. With Crede and Hall coming up that gives us a fighting chance at tying it.

Kazmir is so nasty. he might be the best pitcher in the league now with santana gone

Well... There was no DP.

Our hitters need to stop expanding the strikezone, Konerko's swing was bad on that non-hittable pitch.

 

 

I'm about ready to throw in the towel on today's game. Rays score another run and it's over.

Well on our way to another single digit 4 game road series.

Crede tagged that ball

Well he is no Jared Weaver.

 

 

Crede tagged that ball

 

Did he really? Yahoo didn't even say it was a deep fly out.

Nice 0-2 pitch

Game. 2-0 Rays.

That might be a lot to ask for our offense to overcome, 1 run is a great day these days, 2 runs is a superstar effort with the entire offense clicking.

 

 

Well he is no Jared Weaver.

Seriously though, have you guys looked at some of the numbers being put up by the pitchers in the AL this year? There are 9 guys right now with ERA's below 3. (Just in the starters)

It's getting tiring hoping for this offense to finally catch a spark. They have to start scoring 5 runs a game for this team to consistently win. I'll say it again....fire Greg Walker!

Are home run numbers down? You have to wonder if this will be the trend in a new era of baseball.

Well the weather is just dandy outside, its almost June. I expect the large offensive outburst to start anyday now. At least that is what we have been told.

Compared to April and May of 07, only slightly, actually. Through April and May of last year, AL teams averaged 48 home runs and NL teams 54. Through April and May of this year, coming in to today, AL teams averaged 54 home runs and NL teams 48.

really? about 2 weeks ago i heard that HRs were way, way down...on pace to be down like 500 from two years ago and like (which is absurd, considering thats basically 3 teams worth, which is 10%)

We are hitting him hard but right at guys. Yikes.
