Alexei Ramirez Gets the Dropsies

by The Cheat on Apr 24, 2009 10:38 PM CDT

Alexei Ramirez and the White Sox had a night to forget Friday. Less than 24 hours after I praised his defense at shortstop, Ramirez had the worst 1-error game I've ever seen. By my count, he missed/dropped 5 different plays. The most damaging missed opportunity was the lone credited error in the...

Dome Shutout (See: Sonnanstine, Andy or Marcum, Shaun)

The White Sox have been shut out 9 times this season, 5 of which have come in domes. Kevin Slowey became the latest speed-changing, control artist righty to baffle Sox hitters in the climate controlled environment. I feel like I should be able to come up with a lot more to say after a nearly two...

On Saturday night, Joe Blanton beat out the Twins' Carlos Silva in a one-hour, 49 minute shutout, making the crowd of 30,000 at the game wait for more than an hour before the promised post-dusk fireworks. While the game's duration was quite short, it doesn't match other short-lived items we've seen...

It's one thing to hope the A's offense will put up a few crooked numbers against a not-so-good Seattle Mariners squad, but today's performance on the scoreboard made you go "OOOOOOOOO..." As in, "Ooooooooo, that's ugly." After receiving an other-worldly 16 runs of support in his last outing, Joe...

Another One-Night Stand

by monkeyball on Apr 21, 2007 11:20 PM CDT on Athletics Nation

He was so self-confident when we locked eyes. I could tell by the way that he took pitch after pitch that he was the guy for me. His seductive plate discipline, his confident stroke, his discerning eye, his power ... for a night, he was the one. And then, the next day -- he didn't even show up. I...
