ScottyDo Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) the only way we're gonna climb back in it is by beating the twins, so keep them wins comin'! i don't care how stressful the 9th is as long as it's a W worth a full game in the standings. ok, i do care a LITTLE, but you get the point. EDIT: Also, congratulations to juan pierre on his first XBH of the season! someone give the man the game ball Edited May 12, 2010 by ScottyDo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro2525 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 We started 15-22 last season...and managed to get back up to 60-55 at one point. We have dug out from holes before...Granted, last season ended in the tank. But it is possible to dig ourselves out of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalapse Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Alex Rios is hitting .330 with a .966 OPS. He's a joy to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamtheHBOMB Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 11, 2010 -> 10:02 PM) Alex Rios is hitting .330 with a .966 OPS. He's a joy to watch. He is the antithesis of the typical White Sox player (in recent memory). Elite defender. Great instincts and technique on the basepaths. Power and plate discipline. To top it off, he is apparently coachable too. I'm so glad he is patrolling center field. If he keeps up this level of play, he will be well worth his contract.

Thad Bosley Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 11, 2010 -> 10:02 PM) Alex Rios is hitting .330 with a .966 OPS. He's a joy to watch. Don't forget the 10 stolen bases, either. He's turning singles into run-scoring opportunities, too, in addition to his already-impressive statistical showing. No, in this othewrise disappointing season to date, Rios has thus far offered a whole lotta hope, and at the least, a foundation from which to build, and build rather quickly.

If he keeps up this level of play, he will be well worth his contract. And the best part is that I have no idea how he manages to hit like he does with the stance that he has. Every pitch I catch myself thinking "bring the bat up like you're ready to hit!" I don't know how he has such level swing-control with his hands starting so low, but I love it.

flavum Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Large win. A win tomorrow may light the spark they need, and it wouldn't hurt if the Twins got cold for a couple weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) I literally fainted when Juan Pierre got that XBH. LITERALLY. Also can't believe we won a game WITHOUT the long ball. Edited May 12, 2010 by SoxAce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Glad to see some clutch hitting and pitching for once, lets keep it up and maybe make 2010 a fun season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 What a game, after that 5 run 5th I went to the bar to meet up my buddy for the Hawks game. I was the only one in that place watching the tv that had the Sox game on. What a great day, let's get again tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justBLAZE Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 The offense has looked good as soon as Beckham was sent down in the lineup, now I'm not saying that's why we won, but that AJ double was clutch. Have Quentin and Beckham hit 7, 8 until they figure it out Ozzie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) I have no idea how Freddy made it through 7 innings of 2 ER ball. His stuff was mediocre at best and the Twins were hitting line drives all over the place (the change up that made Mauer look stupid in the 5th was nasty, though). But I'll take it. Kalapse said it earlier. Alex Rios is indeed a joy to watch and arguably the best all-around player we've had since Magglio. The guy wasn't dubbed a prototypical 5-tool player for no reason. Kudos to KW for having the balls to go out and get this guy. Edited May 12, 2010 by Jordan4life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 great win, great to see freddy keeping them off balance and getting the ground balls when he needed. One more would be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hoping to relax a little and looking at last night's schedule, it was easy to decide which game would be more relaxing between the Hawks in a clinching game or the Sox v. Minny. I chose the Hawks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogan873 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I watched most of the game, and I don't think Freddy threw into even the mid-80's that often. However, his control was good and he made some great out pitches. Right now he is performing better than most expected. The question is whether or not he can keep it up.

hogan873 Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 I've been an Alex Rios apologist since he was acquired last year. I kept thinking, hoping, and praying that he would come around after his disastrous stint with the Sox last season. Now I can see that he truly is an all-star caliber player. Superb defense, sparkling offense, and speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
