I almost knew Teahen would come through. Why ? Because I really felt like saying pinch hit for him with Milledge and when I say something dumb like that I almost always get burned.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 04:14 PM) Juan Pierre played 160 games last year. Ozzie's going to put him out there almost every day. If you can buy an extra day off for Pierre by putting him at DH for a day or two, you absolutely do it. I really don't think playing DH is "buying an extra day off" especially when you get 3 hits and run around the bases, make steal attempts and w/e else Pierre does that is part of his running game.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 02:03 PM) He'd still be gone. They needed a pitcher, plain and simple. I realize it's just a matter of circumstances with the extra inning games and the fact they went with 11 pitchers to start the season and kept Milledge around after his very good spring.It sure didn't help him any for Ozzie to put him in left and DH Pierre. Why not just DH Milledge ? I also realize that Ozzie probably was just sticking to some sort of preplanned thing to give regulars time off, but if you're going to be playing any way why not keep people where they are most accustomed to being.

QUOTE (TheBigHurt @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 01:55 PM) Jackson! : Pierre! : Alexei! : Santos! : Lot of positives to start this season... with the bullpen overall was one of them. Let's hope it gets better! Where's the Lilly love ?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 02:06 PM) No dout. We can only hope he really likes it here. And the chances of that with huge money on the line is slim but I'll cling to hope. Best case scenario is also worst case scenario . He has a great year and Sox look outstanding but less chance of keeping him.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 02:05 PM) Jackson was godlike. But I could shutdown this Tampa offense. Let's not get crazy. Are you a lefty or righty ?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 01:55 PM) I missed the game except the 8th-9th inning. So I guess Edwin was dealing today huh? Resign him before he gets too expensive Kenny!! EJax being a free agent next year with Boras as his agent is a main reason we are All In this year.

If Ozzie hadn't made that odd decision to have Pierre DH instead of play LF would Milledge still be on the team today ?

Most K's in a home opener in Sox history by a starter.

Sweet !

Let's go Sergio !

DFA Fuld

Lots of movement on that slider.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 7, 2011 -> 11:09 AM) Rios is hitting .625 with 2 HR against Price. Hopefully that pays off rather than how he's hit so far.

Nice to see Rios rewarded for his inept hitting so far and put 3rd. If the Sox don't look good against Price and Lilli sucks today the Milledge thread will get longer.

CQ

Dunn saying he could've pinch hit today and wants to play tomorrow .

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 02:53 PM) Started watchign the game in the 7th inning, take full credit for the win. Me too. Turned it on when it was 5-0 KC. Then Castro hit the HR to get it all started.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 6, 2011 -> 02:09 PM) Morel just seems so weak to me at the plate. I think he's looked pretty good so far. Hitting the ball hard going the other way.

oivay

Looked like a strike to me on the steal.

QQQQQQQQQQ ! Ok gotta give Ozzie credit for the PR>

Maybe Lillibridge can get picked off to end the game.

Nice piece of hitting by PK.
