BP so far....3 innings, 1 hit, 4 ks, no runs...nice...

QUOTE(SoxFan562004 @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 03:48 PM) this question is late but I was ridiculously held up for no good reason this morning and had a lunch appointment, so what's up with Granderson? Is he hurt? Yes, DL.

If we pick up a 2nd straight win today it will make that opening day loss marred with very questionable umpiring even tougher to take...water under the bridge i suppose. Lets pound DeToilet...I love beating anything from Detroilet

Thats why Dotel is getting paid...he can be pretty nasty when healthy.

QUOTE(tonyho7476 @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 03:21 PM) So, MacDougal was good on Wed? I've erased Mike MacDougal from my memory bank.

I am starting to like our bullpen A LOT...save the Dotel meltdown on opening day, it's been money.

Ive never seen a pitcher kept in the game so long when it looked like he needed to be out...Ozzie sure drove that 1974... 400,000 miles on it AMC Pacer really hard today.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 02:52 PM) So then if Buerhle's first start last season was like his first start this season, with as awful of a second half he had in 2006, he would be done. Stick a fork in him. Your argument is beyond ridiculous. If Gavin Floyd had the same start Contreras is having today, there would be people on here that would be excited. Your argument is ridiculous in that you are comparing a pitcher in his prime (Buehrle) with a guy who appears to have lost it. Contreras hasn't even come close to impersonating anything competent on the mound in two years now. You don't dump a pitcher who is just 'struggling', unless you have reason to believe he is finished as a credible starting pitcher. When Buehrle struggled it was confusing to EVERYONE...because he seemed to be pitching the same as before (this is why people thought he was tipping his pitches). Contreras has the look of a pitcher who is washed up...he's not only pitching poorly, but he gives no indication there is anything left in the tank...inconsistent and diminishing velocity (remember when he could hit 95+ on the gun?), the obsession to use the sidearm and/or junk pitches tells me he's done. If he's not done...FINE, then let him pitch out the pen in mopup duties to prove it.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 02:47 PM) If one outing is enough to say Contreras is done, and Buerhle did significantly worse, he must be done as well. Absolutely not...This outing for Contreras is just a continuation of last year all over again. He's washed up...Buehrle was terrific last year, he gets a few passes because he recently pitched well. Count hasn't pitched well since the first half of 2006...he's done, put a fork in him.

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 02:13 PM) Contreras has no business still being a starting pitcher in the AL. He'll be out of the starting rotation soon enough. Agree TOTALLY with sentence one...HOPING for sentence two to come to fruition. What a bum this guy is...we go out there put a 5 spot on the board and he gives up the lead (twice) thanks to his simple inability to hit the strike zone. Lance Broadway (or someone)...you're next...

QUOTE(Reddy @ Apr 4, 2008 -> 02:11 PM) f*** you jose. this is our 3rd best starter folks... I think Mr Danks is our third starter....I hope we dont have to put up with this s***e from Jose again this year? We need to pull the plug on that guy if he continues to suck like this. We dealt with this for the entire 2007 season, we can't have a duplication of that. Get rid of this bum if he can't pitch past the 3rd damn inning.

What the hell is Jose doing? Throw friggin strikes...get Masset up Ozzie. To quote Harry Doyle...Ball 4, Ball 8, ball 12....

Danks. He stopped the bleeding after our two horses melted down in the first two games of the series.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 02:40 PM) 1 GB is much better than 3 GB but not as good as 2GB.

QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 02:32 PM) I am surprised that Ozzie playe Quentin over Brian in this game. Wonder what happens when Owens is back Anderson or Quentin is going back to AAA and the Jerry kid moves into starting at CF with Swish to left.

QUOTE(knightni @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 02:18 PM) Ozzie not pinch hitting for Uribe with 2 on. Dumb. Jerry Owens is still on the DL.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 02:14 PM) The 9th inning = Bobby Jenks. If Bobby loses a game, I can live with that. I know what Bobby's going to bring me, and there won't be many games where I have to worry about him. I don't know yet what our rebuilt bullpen is going to give me. Oh I agree...bobby is the man. I just wanna get a W here.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 02:11 PM) Well, that's one game where the bullpen has worked. Not over yet...we still gotta get thru the 9th...although the pitching in this game has been awesome.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 02:01 PM) Crede and Juan both homer as backwards season continues. Nats are about to go to 3-0. And Kansas City is leading going for a sweep of Detoilet.

I do have to LOL that Uribe and Crede have hit homers to give us the lead.

We'll he got out of it.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 01:35 PM) That's OK. The Sox will get them next inning. Uribe will be hitting. Snacks and Cakes is currently our 3rd best hitter by average.

QUOTE(lostfan @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 01:34 PM) I don't know the numbers but I'm pretty sure we actually own Verlander usually. Really? I still think he's a great pitcher and anytime we can avoid facing great pitchers Ill take it, no matter the history.

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Apr 3, 2008 -> 01:33 PM) I'm incredibly shocked by the double play ball.

Danks is da man...get him a couple insurance runs and lets get on a winning streak. Detroit is beatable and I think we're gonna miss Verlander aren't we?
