It's hard to understand an established mediocre pitcher is being mediocre? How anyone could be "surprised" by this is beyond me.

 

The Edwin Jackson that went 4-2 with a 3.24 ERA last year says hi.

9000 pitches in the 1st inning so far!

The Edwin Jackson from Edwin Jackson's career says hi back.

 

E-Jax is going back to being E-Jax again. I love this mentality that if someone is getting traded to the Sox we have to start building him up like he's some great player. Or maybe it's just a small amount of success he had last year that tricked people into thinking he's becoming some bona fide star now.

Nice play by GB and Dunn scoop!

9000 pitches in the 1st inning so far!

 

Sure as hell seems like that many

Well....Sox could be down by a lot more. Hopefully we get some offense tonight. LET'S GET SOME RUNS!!!!!

I don't think anyone thought EJ was going to be some sort of star with the Sox, but most expected someone serviceable. Right now, he fools no one.

This makes my decision of whether to watch this or Canucks/Bruins so much easier. Watching Jackson pitch is so frustrating. I swear that I get dumber watching him throw.

 

Danks is less frustrating to watch right now, and that's saying a lot. Speaking of which, watching Danks in person on Monday should be a lot of fun. /sarcasm

im turning this off, verlander already looks filthy

Think I'll go do some more yard work....I should anyway.

Who was the genius who traded Daniel Hudson for Jackson?

 

I don't think it was Ozzie.

 

Same guy that signed Adam Dunn?

Can we get Hudson back

At least I've finally got most everyone agreeing with me.

I think a lot of people expected Jackson to be starlike. Otherwise you're crazy to trade a pair of young cheap pitchers for him.

 

Remember, he was an All Star just a year before we traded for him. that's what people were hoping for, the 2009 Tigers version of Jackson.

The value we gave up for him was fair value for a guy who should be turning into a very good player. Not necessarily an Ace, but that was value you give up for a #2 pitcher.

Which scares me when you have all in Kenny with Viciedo as his only chit. We seem to have this silly notion that LF is where you stick a slappy leadoff hitter.

The trade didn't make any sense to me at the time, but after the finish of 2010 EJ had, I thought maybe it would work out.

 

Not so much.

THE STEALTH ELF STRIKES AGAIN!

Man, give me 9 Lillibridge's in the field please..

Hartman cousin was denied by lillibridge.

At what point does Lillibridge become a trade chip too?

Lilli man needs to play five or six days a week.

 

Like Hawk said last night: If somebody (rios or Dunn) get their feelings hurt sitting while Lilli plays, tough.

Nice AB Rios. What a waste of a roster spot.

Adam Dunn stands closer to the fungo circle, than the plate...good lord.

hope Dunn spends part of his $56 million on ear plugs.

 

He's going to need them.

Lillibridge should be in LF pretty much everyday until he either proves he can handle it or he gets exposed. But Ozzie and Kenny love vets, and they are not about to bench a vet to put him in.
