He can't hit worth a damn but Carlos has reached base 6 times in 13 plate appearances.

Dickey has gone full to all 3 batters he's faced. He's up to 19 pitches.

Carlos' longest home run drought last season was 9 games, he also had 2 eight game droughts.

Getz and Fields have already seen 12 pitches combined.

Wow. You don't often see the Twins do s*** like that against us.

QUOTE (scenario @ Apr 10, 2009 -> 07:17 PM) Works out perfectly with Crede leading off the next inning. That way they can take their time with the tribute and fan applause without making Contreras sit too long between hitters. They're not actually going to show a video tribute when he comes to the plate are they? I just assumed they'd get that s*** out of the way before the game.

23 first inning pitches for Jose. (only 11 for strikes)

Jason Kubel is a career .310/.338/.707/1.045 hitter at the Cell w/ 7 HR in 19 games. I guess that's a little higher now.

Terrific 2-2 pitch by Contreras right there.

Gotta throw strikes Jose.

Jose is working very quickly.

Chris Getz is just awesome.

That play at the plate wasn't even close, Hill ended up tagging him on the ass after the bad throw from Theriot. Weeks beat it by a good half to full second.

New lineup for tonight's game: Getz 2B Fields 3B Quentin LF Thome DH Dye RF Konerko 1B Pierzynski C Ramirez SS Wise CF Contreras P Looks like he's trying to the get the [relatively] hot hand of Fields more chances at the top. OBP wise this is probably our best bet. Good to see the CF in the 9 hole, good spot for him.

White Sox relievers through the first 2 games: 6IP 1H 0R 0BB 9K

There's video of the scene of the crash from TMZ.

QUOTE (Brian @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 10:44 AM) TMZ.com reports that 22-year-old Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart was killed in a car accident hours after his start Wednesday night against the A's. A local news station, NBC25, has confirmed the report. According to TMZ: "Cops say someone driving a minivan blew through a red light, causing the Mitsubishi that Adenhart was riding in to hit a light pole. Three people were killed in the crash, including Nick." The van driver reportedly fled the scene before eventually being apprehended, and has been charged with felony hit-and-run. The identities of the other victims have not been revealed, but TMZ reports that "one of the other men killed in the crash was also affiliated with the Angels organization."

QUOTE (BearSox @ Apr 9, 2009 -> 10:37 AM) Just terrible news. RIP. He just pitched the other night to. Tragic news. He was killed only hours after his start in Anaheim.

According to TMZ one of the other 2 people killed while riding in the Mitsubishi with Adenhart is affiliated with the Angels organization. What a horrible story.

If the Sox stick with a strict platoon in CF and the rotations hold up (which they likely will not) Brian is looking at 6 starts in the month of April. Sun 12th - Liriano MIN Sat 18th - Kazmir TBR Tue 21 - Hendrickson BAL Sat 25 - Romero TOR Mon 27 - Rowland-Smith SEA Wed 29 - Bedard SEA If 2007, the first month and a half of 2008 and Tuesday are any indication don't hold your breath on seeing him as a late inning defensive replacement in close games.

Holy f***. RIP. He looked terrific on the mound last night, this is just horrible.

AJ hit second in over half the team's games last year, why would it be anyone else? He's not going to get on base AT ALL but he should be able to handle the bat better than Wise. Getz 2B Pierzynski C Quentin LF Thome DH Dye RF Konerko 1B Ramirez SS Wise CF Fields 3B Danks P

Chris Getz isn't mentally ready to hit in the leadoff spot . . . unless of course Dewayne Wise goes 0-fer in his first 8 plate appearances.
