That ball was tattoed more than the arms of D-Back Ryan Reynolds or NBAer Chris Andersen.

Hamilton had two high hangers and just got under 'em. Harrelson would have been going crazy if he was the Rangers' announcer. Beltre just missing two homers tonight, tough luck.

Greg was pointing that out all last year, about the size of Lillbridge's bat, lol. Well, bullpen....BE READY to warm up at a moment's notice.

Only when Brian Anderson was partying with Kinsler at Univ of ARIZ and Kinsler was hungover could the Sox possibly get him out, especially Danks. Peavy claimed tonight would be "no finesse, that he was going to come right at the Rangers and let it air out." Hmm.....

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 07:20 PM) I'd rather face Holland instead of getting to their bullpen Ogando's the really scary guy down there. Adams is hittable. The hit parade continues. That line-up is like the White Sox offenses from 2000-2004/2006, when healthy. Or 2008, when we had Quentin looking like the leading MVP candidate. Flowers and Peavy getting crossed up with the signs. Lucky Tyler knocked that ball down or it would have been a disaster.

How many oppo field homers did Morel hit last year? A couple? No more than 3, I'd bet, probably at USCF in the August/September heat.

I was about to say we were getting Holland's pitch count up, then we went down 1-2-3 and Morel swung at the first pitch. At least he actually threatened the wall.

QUOTE (jeffro2525 @ Apr 7, 2012 -> 07:10 PM) You just can't beat teams like Texas on the road when you: Get runners picked off. Play singles into triples. Balk and give free bases... Sox have done all of these things in less than 3 innings. *facepalm* Don't forget, misplay/bobble bunts. Have Alex Rios as your 5 hitter. It's kind of a miracle it's tied, only due to the presence of Konerko in the line-up.

Good god, Peavy's getting pounded. Luckily they can't keep most of them fair.

Konerko giveth, Peavy taketh away. Let's just get to the bullpen with a tie game, please?

Time to go to Vegas and bet whatever the odds that we'll give up at least two more runs this inning.

At least DeAza was hustling, unlike Rios usually in CF, but still a horrible misjudgment to play a single into a triple. Kinsler with the cycle already, if you count yesterday's ABs and the first 3 innings today. Now Peavy's really going to come unglued, it's inevitable. He's our own version of Tiger Woods. Ventura getting booed, lol.

where's Josh in PR to defend his boy in the game threads, lol? if dunn keeps it up, he's going to be very lonely this season with nobody else an easy target to pick on, besides maybe Beckham and/or Morel

Don't throw 2 change-ups in a row to Konerko, especially with an 0-2 count. They would have been better off intentionally loading the bases and daring Rios to beat them. That won't be many weeks away if things go as we're all envisioning.

Shades of Juan Pierre, 2011. 1/3 in steals now. With that slim moustache and long hair, Holland looks like an 80's porn star.

Sigh. Gordo, say it ain't so.

Well, at least he didn't crumble and give up the crooked number. There's that. Moreland had two homers last August in one game against Peavy at USCF.

It's suicide for Peavy to be down 3-1 in the count and have to throw a FB. Napoli's OPS was 1.072 in the second half of last season, yikes! Lucky that stayed in the park.

Getting away with the hanging slider against both Hamilton and Beltre. Got to get crisper with that pitch, Jake.

Tough luck for T-Flow, almost took Holland's manhood if he hadn't turned around.

If Peavy can throw 92-93, that might be good enough. Not quite what he was throwing 5 years ago, but a lot better than 89-91, as long as he's got the movement.

Atta boy, Paulie. Big clutch hit, great to get the lead, let's not give it right back Jake. Dear Robin, Rios sucks. If you want to bench someone, start in RF. Rios already 0 for 3 with RISP on the young season.

Twins looking horrible so far this season.

Conor Jackson off to a very hot start. Simon Castro struggling.
