I went from accepting a no-hit loss to wanting to win. Let's do this.

Jayson Nix sighting.

He went opposite field only because he swung so badly he nubbed it off the end of the bat.

IT amuses me that Nix was so eager to swing the bat.

I thought we left him in the States.

I think it's great that Toronto is giving Rios a standing ovation for that homer.

would it have been wrong if he went out for a curtain call? lol jk thatd be funny

Can we get Toronto's closer again? He sucks.

I'd assumed Arizona.

I'm sure glad Omar Vizquel is leading off and getting his ABs.

Oh man, that would have been great

I'm sure glad Omar Vizquel is leading off and getting his ABs.

 

He'll bat .125, and still not see a reduction in his ABs. You had to know this was coming the day he signed.

If Frasor comes in, I feel confident with 2-3-4 coming up. Hold 'em Liney.

I'd love to see Jason Frasor and his 6.23 era.

I'm sure glad Omar Vizquel is leading off and getting his ABs.

For all the people that booed Wise last year for leading off on Opening Day not even a peep about Vizquel doing it today.

He's a big Sox fan. I bet he throws the game.

I just started watching now, quick question did we get shutdown like that because Romero was unhittable or because our offense is terrible?

Kevin Gregg? Even better.

kevin gregg is warming up, hopefully he can pitch like he did with the cubs

At least Ozzie did the smart thing and played Nix at 2b.

A little bit of both. We looked clueless, but Romero had absolutely filthy stuff. Good fastball, good cutter, got the breaking ball over for strikes consistently, and had a Johan-esque changeup. He's legit.

He had sensational command/stuff, but our hitters didn't help out by chasing balls and taking strikes.

both. but mainly, he was great

I just started watching now, quick question did we get shutdown like that because Romero was unhittable or because our offense is terrible?

 

We sucked, but Romero was pretty nasty. He was getting everything over. No one was gonna hit him tonight.

Kevin Gregg? Even better.

 

Well, we know he'll give up the long ball

For all the people that booed Wise last year for leading off on Opening Day not even a peep about Vizquel doing it today.

Wise had no business being booed. It wasn't his idea to lead off, but Ozzie mentioned Vizquel leading off when he was signed, and I think most of us thought he was just talking. Evidently not. You can't blame him for the team having one hit in 8 innings, but a almost automatic out leading off is another of Ozzie's very questionable decisions that if you disagree with you should go watch the Cubs.

yay, another strike out on a pitch 2 feet off the plate
