Ah well... it's still a series win.

No, it doesn't.

 

You would be already be looking to buy World Series tickets if the Sox had all three of them.

Like we were in 2006 when we had an incredible 5 man rotation coming off of a dominant world series showing.

A winnable game until NL 2.0 had to inject "strategy" into the game.

Hell, can we also at least note that the majority of the bullpen was awful?

Long season. You can question the bunt with Alexei, but I think today was more about Masterson. He pitched a real good game, and Danks made a bad pitch at the wrong time.

I hated the bunt but this game was about our bullpens inability to get outs overall. s*** happens, go get 'em in KC!

Temps should be in the 60's in KC. I hope that warms the bats back up.

 

Thursday at home...53 with a chance of showers...Isn't that every Home Opener?

One day our manager will realize that this is the AL and bunts before the 7th inning are something that should be avoided. And that the use of bad loogy's just because they favor their left paw is going involve runs scoring in bunches. A stubborn man whom hopefully is going to be someone else's problem.

 

 

Here...Here....can we initiate that Florida trade again?

He wants to be an NL manager, let him go.

 

Might have to think about a way to get Teahen in the lineup against righties like Masterson.

Omar at SS and Teahen at 3rd? I'm not sure what you do, but I agree with you 100%. Alexei had no shot today.

Well if he didn't wear his mitt on his head he would be. He is Josh fields bad at d. Its hard to find a spot for him.

but none of them are in the category of the pitchers mentioned

there's a difference between one hit wonders and ace pitchers

no one from that 2005-2006 staff will have to worry about preparing HOF acceptance speeches

You guys know how the saying goes. "Bunting is the hardest thing to do in baseball"

Sums up the day perfectly

 

Guillen's best managing comes when he remains a spectator.

Not calling him an ace is not ripping him.

 

Starters need to give you more than 6 innings. Masterson cooled down a hot hitting team today. Nobody his confusing him with Roy Halladay.

 

Wow have these bats gone south.

Check the paper for MOST starting pitchers this Opening week......most went 6 IP

Yes a team that has scored 23 runs in two days needs to be bunting in the 4th inning to get the bat into Omar Vizquel and Juan Pierre's hands to drive in the runs over Alexi.

 

That is assine thinking every time.

Ozzie lost this game....................

 

LOL at the hand-wringing after today. Even if the Sox go on to have a monster season, we'll get to see this same moaning and beetching 61 more times.

Once again....Danks has a quality start.....with no run support! Is it Groundhog day????

Don't lie. This will never happen. Ozzie is Ozzie, and will never change.

Good thing we went "all in" and let go of putz and jenks

Because he is a six inning pitcher. Today is the prime example of why he is not an ace. He is a really good pitcher but not worth a contract of that magnitude.

Sabatthia and Halladay each went 6 innings their first start. Danks was 26th in baseball in IP last year which included playoffs in which he did not participate.

Mental note...stay out of game threads after losses.

Someone needs to teach Ramirez how to bunt.
