Usual lineup tonight...
except that Ozuna’s playing third instead of Crede.

Cheat likes Niemann
He wanted to acquire him so he could be groomed to take over the closers role when Bobby Jenks loses his effectiveness.

was he hurt or were the rays just being overly cautious with bringing him along?
Blood has been shed, Jerry.

No he was hurt
All Rice pitchers get hurt. I don’t remember what it was anymore, shoulder, I think.

major leaguers don't play all 162 games?
unless they’re orlando cabrera, of course.
somewhere in baseball purgatory, jerry owens loudly whines.
That Rays lineup...
is really good 1-6. Not so good after that.

Eric Hinske puts the fear of God in you, eh?
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
I don't know about "fear of God"...
but I like Hinske.

major league broadcasters don't do all 162 games?
unless they’re ed farmer, of course.

I just don't see how one can justify having Ozuna on this team.
Let alone giving him starts.
Ozzie loves Pablo
and when Ozzie loves you you stay.
Doesn't every team have a Pablo Ozuna?
I don’t understand complaining about him. They play 162 games. Occasionally people who don’t make the All-Star Game have to play.

The thing is
We have better bench players who could be starting instead of Ozuna.
by Grinder in Training on Apr 18, 2008 6:21 PM CDT up reply actions
But...
The Sox have better back ups at basically every position.
Including third base?

You can't get in the game while you're in the minors.
Pablo’s probably more useful as a 25th man than Fields would be.

by defensive indifference on Apr 18, 2008 6:35 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah, that was my point.
Pablo should not be on this team. Uribe can handle 2nd and 3rd better than him. Anderson can handle all the outfield positions, and it looks like Alexei can too. And for short its Alexei and Juan. I don’t even believe Pablo has any versatility, he looked like dog shit at 2nd when he got the start. I would rather have Fields on the team, just to keep Ozuna off the field.
Eh.
I just don’t see how Crede and Fields fit on the same team.
Out-underacheiving the other guy.
by defensive indifference on Apr 18, 2008 6:45 PM CDT up reply actions
IT doesn't matter
Uribe goes to 3rd, Alexei plays 2B problem solved, no Pablo Ozuna.
by Grinder in Training on Apr 18, 2008 6:50 PM CDT up reply actions
he's being paid and the marginal difference is basically nil
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Thank you.
I was tired of arguing about the 25th man.

Bullshit call
That guy leaned out into that ball
The Tampa announcers
agree he leaned into the curveball. Not that it matters, they still have 2 on.
That's okay
We’ll just get a DP up the middle now.
That was really egregious
I thought it looked like a strike if it broke a little more
Orlando Cabrera
Continues.. to be garbage. but Ozuna shouldn’t be at third anyways.
by Grinder in Training on Apr 18, 2008 6:45 PM CDT reply actions
that doesn't mean AJ
Should just throw it to no one b/c it’s a long way to cover.
by Grinder in Training on Apr 18, 2008 6:47 PM CDT up reply actions
So..
You say it’s AJ’s fault for not throwing the ball. Then you also excuse OC for not being at third base. Now.. if OC isn’t at third, who is AJ supposed to be throwing the ball to?
by Grinder in Training on Apr 18, 2008 6:49 PM CDT up reply actions
I thought Ozzie covered these small things
in spring training? It didn’t take apparently.
Free outs!
Take them.

Pitch count
37 pitches 23 strikes through 2 innings for JV. But it is 0-0.
Hawk was sayin' last night the towns that weird
shit happens to the Sox were Oakland and Minn…
But I seem to remember some pretty crazy shit happening in Tampa too…
Yes?

dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
What airline you flyin'?
Virgin America rocks!
American
Im a red blooded American and won’t be caught flittin about in something called “virgin” unless it is the night of my marriage!

Sorry to hear that.
You go right on flyin’ American.
Leaves more of the new, state of the art planes and hot flight attendants to us. :-)

Son of a bitch!
Old guys putting on a show for their peer group in Tampa.
Or “God’s waiting room”, as we call it down here.
I took the "under".
you coulda caught our boys in real life and you have the temerity to ask us the score?

Going Sunday
Tonight is $1 Hot Dog night. Didn’t want to see the Kobayshi wanna-be’s puking in the aisles.
I took the "under".
Maybe it's the magic of television
But it looks like there’s plenty of open seats to avoid such vomit.
Awww...I thought the Sox would be a huge draw
Actually, last week I could’ve bought seats right behind home plate for Sunday – for FOUR HUNDRED BUCKS a seat. To see the goddamn Rays!
What are the most expensive Sox seats?
I took the "under".
Can't wait til somone mistakes that "Neo to Go"
for Listerine breath spray that has the same, non-aerosol spray container…
Pssshit.
Good time to go for a smoke…

Settling for Tiggers/Jays on mlb
(at least rhymes with “Rays”).
Goddammit. Enjoy your game.
I took the "under".
The bleakest place to watch a sporting event I've ever seen.
It is like a giant masoleum.
I took the "under".
Jim I just figured out your job -
Lead singer of Rammstein.
Du…du hast…du hast nicht…

them runs scored in bunches

hmm. didnt know that trivia question.
thought the answer was that the only baserunner was picked off
exactly
2 out nobody on in an 8-0 game
This guy should be getting one between the numbers

Dwayne Stats and the other Tampa announcer...
are discussing how Hawk popularized the nehru Jacket and they had pictures. For those of you who don’t remember Nehru Jackets they were ridiculous clothing of the time. Google it for more, if interested.
I have Direct TV
I am getting the game from Tampa but not the Chicago announcers. Last year I couldn’t get the Tampa games when they were in Florida this year I can.
Rays have Wrestling Night tomorrow, featuring:
“Screamin’ Norman Smiley vs. Tatanka
Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake vs. Smash from Demolition
The Nasty Boys vs. “Big Poppa Pump” Scott Steiner and Buff Bagwell
Prior to the game all of the wrestlers will join Greg “The Hammer” Valentine, Dale “The Demon” Torborg, Axe from Demolition, David Penzer and Brian Blair for an autograph signing from 5:10 p.m. to 6:10 p.m”
I’m guessing A.J.’s not going to be going over scouting reports too closely.
I really dig thees CQ keed
he come to play….evry gane…
how'd the second quatro cross the plate?
dude, that was totally not swish you saw on rush street last night. swish was at home playing xbox.
Nice trend of....
Sox blow-outs when they play while I’m at work this season.

I’ll buy you a cott.

Note: he looked insane to me.

I'm going to work LESS.
I’m still bitter that the Sox were 8-0 when I was at the ballpark last year and STILL nobody would float me free tickets!

And he hits into his patented
DP inning ender.
If we weren’t up 9-0 I’d be pissed.
Nah...
I’ve tried making a few funnies and nobody has responded yet. You made a funny up there a ways but…it’s not a “laffer” yet.

I think if they hit 10-0
it would be a good time to bring in BA and the rest of the BU’s….
nice

We need to save some runs for
the rest of the series. I get very nervous when we get a big lead in th first game of a series. Remember last night we added some late runs but then gave the game away.
AJ needs a hit
his BA is dropping like a rock.
What’s he like 1 for his last 13 or so?
