May 8, 200916 yr What no love for Buehrle? 5-0 with a one hitter over eight innings... Nice job by the boys jumping on Galaraga early with the 5 big runs in the first inning with two outs...
May 8, 200916 yr There's nothing better than a game where you score more runs in the 1st inning than the other team does for the whole game. Buehrle was very sharp on the mound tonight (obviously). We need to get to Harrison tomorrow, as he's just not a very good pitcher. I wonder if Ozzie will bench Alexei or play Nix over Getz at 2nd base?

May 8, 200916 yr This reminds me of that game that Gavin pitched against the Twins last year. We needed a win badly after going 0-6 on that roadtrip to Minnesota and Toronto. Gavin almost threw a no hitter and I think we won 6-0. Or was it 7-0? Don't remember. Edited May 8, 200916 yr by chw42
May 8, 200916 yr Don't want to take a win for granted. Man, Nix with the nice job at ss and the homer. AJP with a homer; Paulie continuing to hit well this season. We score six runs despite oh-fers from Thome, Quentin, Fields and Pods.
May 8, 200916 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 7, 2009 -> 09:26 PM) What no love for Buehrle? Meh. He can't even throw a perfect game. So overrated.
May 8, 200916 yr Author QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 8, 2009 -> 07:04 AM) Is this the time to package Alexei and a prospect for some pitching? I don't know if it was a one time thing or not, but for a guy that hasn't really played SS in a long time, Nix was damned impressive. I think Lillibridges fate got sealed to Charlotte as soon as Anderson is ready.
May 8, 200916 yr In the post game press conference that I was watching and missed the Hawks first goal, Guillen said that Nix would get another day at short then they would reevaluate the situation. I think Ramirez is going to be staring down the barrell of the Juan Uribe role really soon.

Alexei needs regular at bats to get going again. Heck, maybe we need to move Alexei to CF.
May 8, 200916 yr Is anyone worried about Quentin yet? His average is plummeting and I heard on the radio that he's gone something like 30+ at-bats without a homer now?

May 8, 200916 yr I'd be worried about TCQ but he is still making solid contact, its just right at guys. He has only K twice this month and he was just 3/5 the other game.
May 8, 200916 yr Quentin would have to go another 2-3 weeks for me to be worried. Dude is still young and everyone goes through slumps. *Not an accurate comparison* but is anybody worried about Jimmy Rollins start? Happens to everyone.
May 8, 200916 yr Sox lose-10 page rants on how the team isnt constructed properly, how coaches cant coach and how everything needs to change. Sox win, *crickets*
May 8, 200916 yr QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 7, 2009 -> 11:13 PM) Jayson Nix, a prodigy with the glove, and not too shabby with the bat. Nix has only been up a short time, but the f***er has won me over. He looks good, real good.

I think Ramirez is going to be staring down the barrell of the Juan Uribe role really soon. Ramirez will be in CF. The guy was fabulous last year. Fabulous. You don't give up on that after a month of the season. That said, if the right offer came along, knowing Beckham is in the wings, I would trade Ramirez for a young starting pitcher in a heart beat.
