Consarn it!

And other 19th-century expressions of disgust!

hawk hates michaels

like JRE hates massett

WOOO

THE SOX ARE BACK!

by Jbasic89 on Mar 31, 2008 4:23 PM CDT   0 recs

It's just one game...

...but already it feels like our offense will be better than last year. Swisher/Cabrera at the top of the order looks like it works really well.

I'd like to see the replay on that one

I, too, was taught karate by an old asian man who was the maintenance man in my building.

Ack.

Fun game though. Come on bullpen!

Good job...

by the offense getting back into this game.

No way they do this last year.

BOOOOOONE

Boone.

That thing has GOT to be fake.

Horrible play by the ump

He was completely out of position, he never saw it.

by ChicagoPete on Mar 31, 2008 4:42 PM CDT   0 recs

Still in shock about Masset

what a terrific outing. He really stepped up today.

Boone dealing too.

this is a fun team to watch

Swish and Cabrera have done a great job getting on base so far. Uribe and Crede look lost.

dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.

Fun means winning

and winning means fun.

by chrome on Mar 31, 2008 4:45 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

yep

especially after horrible Bears and Bulls seasons. Even if they don't win a ton of games, the Sox will at least be worth watching

no kidding...but I'll deal, I guess

what sucks

is that they shouldn't even be on this team right now.

by longdrive on Mar 31, 2008 4:45 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Hoo boy...

I don't know if I have EVER seen Hafner take such a weak swing. He looked completely fooled there

by CatBrains on Mar 31, 2008 4:44 PM CDT   0 recs

lol

That was hilarious. I don't even think he moved the bat until it was in AJ's glove.

What the hell is going on here.

Our bullpen is getting outs, and were hitting Relief pitching. One actual bad call away from being in the lead right now, feeling much better about taking a half day.

by Grinder in Training on Mar 31, 2008 4:45 PM CDT   0 recs

Alright.

We've gotta win this thing. I've up and pacing around the apartment for the last hour. I haven't actually cared since last May!

Boone and Masset!

I'm loving out relief so far!

A Boone breakout would be great for our 7th inning

Hey Joe

whatchu do with that gun of yours?

BUNT!

please!

by Option27 on Mar 31, 2008 4:47 PM CDT   0 recs

But,

Uribe can't bunt. This will fail.

Must score inning!

Don't waste Crede's lead off double! Maybe his last of the year

by Option27 on Mar 31, 2008 4:49 PM CDT   0 recs

Crede can't score on the double

but it really looked like Michaels was gonna get that one.

Good baserunning?

Farmer and Stone say yes, but couldn't he have gotten farther down the line. Even if the ball is caught, Michaels is running toward the left-center wall. Crede has time, in that case, to get back. But, caution makes sense here.

Swish-a-lish

can be the hero?

by chrome on Mar 31, 2008 4:49 PM CDT   0 recs

Oh yes!

Here we go!!!

What a way to start the year with a win like this!

I can't handle too many of these kinda games though

by Option27 on Mar 31, 2008 4:49 PM CDT   0 recs

for something as meaningless as it proved to be

that was a pretty memorable base running blunder.
