sox hitter didnt take complete advantage of (albeit rare) bad pitches off Roy.

stood for Jod Dammit today

if you could, the answers would be in Geneva – the rest of the division is a bag of shit too, if we keep at 0.500 by the all star break, then that’s good

but there is something off about this team. They are on a verge of being good but almost as if they “don’t want to”. Anyways, a win would have been nice, but what can you do. At least BA is continuing to surprise us.

Alexei looks like he’s slowly getting his shit together and Anderson’s play has been very encouraging. I’ll also say that Contreras is gradually getting back — the forkball he threw to Snyder was easily the best he’s thrown all year. If he gets comfortable with that pitch he should be an acceptable back-end starter for this year.

Also time for Quentin to start getting some BIP luck. He’s close to 100 points below his career average.

THAT UMP SHOULD BE FIRED… EPIC FAIL!

Im disapointed whenever I see him jog to a ball and let it bounce once to him.
Im sure he could take some dives…

‘’I was throwing first-pitch strikes,’’ Contreras said. ‘’My split-finger, two-seamer, four-seamer, they were all in the strike zone, and that was the big difference. The key is the split-finger against left-handers. That’s the pitch I set up lefties with.’’

Holding onto small, late-inning leads…manufacturing runs…great defense at all corners.

While I think their pitching wheels will eventually fall off and most likely be their demise, they are undeniably hot right now.

They’ve won all of their series so far (including 4/6 against LAA and a sweep of Oakland), except against Detroit and a split in Minnesota…..so apparently the ALC is giving them the most trouble (woot).

Looking forward to it…but I have butterflies in my gut. Man, I’d sure hate to be heckled by M’s fans…..

Must win today: Danks vs Jakubauskas (sp?). Must. Win.

Someone working on a state of the union/south side piece for the end of April?

we just got a university-wide e-mail pretty much calling it the plague and saying we should avoid contact with others as much as possible

we’ll wish they had won in September when the Sox are trailing by 2 games to, would you believe, KC?! (No, me either). It was much like the very winnable game where Thornton gave up the Grand Salami…coulda, shoulda, woulda…oh well.

Also, they are trying to make light of Getz’s injury, but a fracture is a fracture, right? Doesn’t a broken bone, no matter how slightly broken, require a minimum of 4 weeks to heal? Especially on a throwing hand?

I’m also concerned about Thome…or is he just off to a slow, suckish start? His dingers and RBI totals aren’t terrible…but the average, not so good.

On the upside, I have pretty good seats for tonight’s game where I will be sitting through a series of rain delays…good times.

I don’t know what to make of this team so far. Until a clear personality emerges, I will simply call it “Sybil.”

I can’t believe I respond to half the arguments such as, “chris harris does not create turnovers” go to my profile if you want to read the argument.
