and
Huge RBI for Konerko in the sixth. A hit like that can keep the first baseman from going all “Officer and a Gentleman” in the shower tonight.

just put in a major fat bitch food order for delivery

What's the thinking behind

batting Anderson after Alexei?

by joewho112 on May 18, 2008 3:10 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

As mediocre as BA is

He is 10 times the hitter Alexei is

you asked what the thinking was

agree or disagree. it’s the bottom of the order. who cares.

by larry on May 18, 2008 3:15 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

and if you think he's some hyperbolic level more of a hitter than ramirez

you’d probably want that guy batting 8th so alexei isn’t striking out at some hyperbolic level in front of the pitcher.

by larry on May 18, 2008 3:17 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Not sure I follow

What is particularly bad about striking out in front of the pitcher as opposed to striking out in front of the 8th hitter?

by joewho112 on May 18, 2008 3:20 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Doesn't matter

Alexei is making a lot more contact than BA this year

Rotation order

Hawk keeps saying that Buehrle is pitching on Thursday…wouldn’t that mean they’re skipping/moving Floyd’s spot? Anyone know why that might be? Or is Hawk wrong? Because Floyd pitched the first game of this series, Buehrle went last night, Danks today, then you’d see Jose, Javy, then I’d expect Floyd’s turn.

by madopal on May 18, 2008 4:42 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

is still somewhat young.. they may just want to give him a break, I imagine Danks would be the next guy to skipped in the rotation next time they get a chance.

99 m.p.h. not fazing these guys.

85? Now that’s scary.

yeah that was today.

nice aggressiveness by cox

he knew any close play at the plate would be called in the sox favor, as compensation for the last inning

he did? sweeeeeet.

q read the ump's mind

and then powered cox arm with magnetism.

so in truth, cox was powerless.

Good job, Crede...

Nothing more sickening than stranding a runner at third base with no outs.

Sexy Lexei -- new starting second baseman?

He has been looking a lot better at the plate lately… but that could just be due to the “Giants effect”.

He loves his fastball

It’s the Zitos that confuse him.

To his credit

The 2-run shot the other day was on a breaking ball

by 3E8 on May 18, 2008 5:59 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

He'll fit right in.

Hits 98MPH, no clue with a breaking pitch.

Pitching and defense.

was JD sucking for air halfway to third?

That was sad, haha...

I was just assuming that Dye would score due to running on 2 outs.

Ozzie: Please leave Massett in (seriously)

Bobby’s been out there 4 days in a row. It’s a long season.

Go Sox!

he needed that after he buckled in his last at bat

Let me tell you

there is no one that comes in with very little warmup in the 8th inning after the bases are loaded from three straight walks to lead off the inning and get 5 outs like nick massett… no one
