nice inning for our hitters, 2 sky-high popups and a grounder to first

It just seems we're allergic to good ABs early in the game. This umpire is awful though...really squeezed Buehrle in the 1st.

That one pitch was just horrible, over the plate and above the knees.

Yep, and the first pitch to Hinske was a curve right over the plate.

Wow, what a throw by Pods to get Wilson at 3rd to end the inning!

"Guns" Podsednik with an assist to end the inning.

I swear Pods arm has gotten stronger. His throw back into second last night on a double in the corner was the strongest I have seen from him.

That's the weirdest looking assist ever. Flipped it.

I wish I could be watching this game instead of relying on heads commentary that paints such a vivid picture.

I'll make it simple: Karstens sucks, but our hitters are popping up EVERYTHING

Nice 2 out double for CQ. Let's get him in!

Finally, Carlos with a nice hit.

Like that'll happen...

 

Nice to see Q finally get a hit.

ANDERSON! Great AB, and the 2 run homer.

BRIAN f***IN ANDERSON

 

2-1 SOX!

BA with his first homer of the year.

BA with the sexy time!

7 hits for the Pirates already off of Buehrle. He needs to keep the ball down, as Pirates are getting good swings.

Great defensive inning by Getz!!

Flash the leather

 

I want Nix at 3B

We still don't have a home run out of the CF position because Brian is playing RF today :-)

I know it'd be rushing him...but there's no way on earth Gordon Beckham could have nearly as many poor at bats as Josh Fields. I'm so sick of this guy...

Ugh, Nix is not a good hitter though. He takes a lot of pitches, but besides for a few deep fly balls, he's been bad also. It's Beckham time.

I wonder if Fields will be on a plane going west or going east after today's game.
