Is that an official rule, because I thought you couldnt block any base unless it was home without the ball? What happens if you do block 1st base and the ump sees it? Carlos doesnt advance to 2nd does he? Look, Im pissed off that Carlos got picked off today, but it wasnt like he wasnt back to the bag in plenty of time, its just that he couldnt get around an entire leg blocking the bag. Carlos is known to make some plays that would make you do a look, but his hustle on other plays usually gets a . So lets give Carlos a break on this one!

I agree, ugly, but I'll take this every time out if we get the W. Well hopefully the win will be some confidence for Koch, cause if anyone needs some, it would be Koch. Great relief work today, especially by Shingo and Cotts. Loazia pitched great today, and if it wernt for Crawfords web gem on Uribe, he would have been 4-0. Lets go get em tomorrow boys! Go SOX + #45!

Im not sure Jose would have done much better against Zambrano tonight, we should just be thankful its 2-2 and we have a shot to win... because he was filthy tonight.

I sure hope so... I only want to see Koch when we are up 6 or more... and even then im scared.

I love it when I predict things right...... You do! Go Sox + #45! ELCABALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLO!

You should know that Carlos goes into these funks from time to time, but when he catches fire, then everyone will be supporting Carlos's pull antics. I think he's done a great job this year going opposite field a little more this year, but what is key is how long these slumps last, and so far this year, not very long.

Whats wrong with him in the 4 hole? You want Konerko there? Although Carlos didnt seem to respond to my elcaballo chants each at bat in the bleachers last night, i think he'll have a solid 2-4 day today... with a HR? Go SOX + #45!

Getting back to the original topic, I hope you guys are right about the weather clearing up by gametime, cause its raining hard here (Streamwood,IL) and weather.com has rain and thunderstorms for the entire night....

Well, if there was a year that he was overrated, it would be this one. Considering most magazines had Carlos 5-10 spots ahead of Mags in the OF rankings, I just took it as a compliment for someone finally noticing Carlos being a good ballplayer. But, he still doesnt get any respect nationally, therefore, he's not overrated.

Seems like every game I go to there is something that holds up the game... I've never been to a game that has been cancelled, but I've been to plenty that dont start til 8:30 ...

YES!!!

Thats perfect timing, I get to yell "Its time for Wunsch" at my first game this year tomorrow... I hope he's not on the DL too much this year, we could really him in the closing innings b4 Marte comes in...

That it was....

Ken Harvey, he's nicknamed the Professional Hitter... I dont remember where i heard it first, maybe Sportscenter, but i heard other people say it too.

Nothing wrong with giving up hits to the "Professional Hitter".... Everyone has problems with him.

Has anybody noticed that stupid kid that yells out whoevers on deck's first name every 3 seconds. I cant take it! Somebody needs to knock a foul ball of his head so he'd shutup!! AHHHH....

Haha, well call me gay then cause I'd take that over my current situation anyday!

Its not to often you have a 1st and 3rd situation when you havent given up a walk or hit with 2 K's, i thought that was interesting... Nice Job Sox! Hopefully Loazia will be sharper in his next outing against the Devil Rays...

And then Billy comes out... sighhh... Shouldnt we be using him in game that could be close, tomorrow or thursday and give Marte some work to gain confidence?

Lol, on cbs.sportsline they have politte, marte, and cotts in the bullpen. I think Marte should get some work so that way he can forget about the opening day game in KC and know that was just rust.

Thats good stuff. Anyway, our record should be better no doubt, but looking at it from a different perspective, if you told me we'd be 3-3 once 6 road games were done with the Royals and Yanks, I'd definitly take it.... Goooo Sox + #45!

Well after starting my Jose thread that resulted in a 2 run, i think i should start an Elcaballo isnt going to hit a 2-run thread for next inning? Lets go 2-2 Carlos!

Hahah.... Very nice, This thread sparked Valantin for a 2 run blast! Someone may now yell at me for starting this thread! 5-2 Sox! On a side note and edit: Did I put Urible for the subject line? That would be a cool name.

Its very early, too early in the season, but Im not sure I can look at Valentin K 3 times a game and have 2 errors in one inning like the ones he had in todays 2nd inning... Mark made a great pitch on Sheffield, and it cost him a tie ball game... I think Uribe is a much better SS than 2nd baseman, why cant he flip around with Valentin if Harris is getting the starts at 2nd.

1st hit at Yankee Stadium this year!
