QUOTE(SoxFanForever @ Mar 9, 2008 -> 03:40 PM) The more I see Ramirez the more I hope he is our starting 2B/Leadoff guy to start the season./ agreed, i know he's raw and it makes a lot of sense for him to start the season in charlotte but anyone who watches the guy hit, can see that he's just BASBALL SMART, uribe is most definitely baseball retarded when it comes to swinging a bat. watching that oppo-swing by ramirez, geez... haven't seen a sox hitter go opposite field, intentionally, in a long time

passed ball, alexei scores from third with BA at the dish 2-2 game. BA K's on a high and tight fastball (swung and missed on the same pitch three times in the AB)

fields weak grounder up the middle, scores one, fields out at 1st, ramirez advances to third 2-1 padres

top of 3rd, paaaaablo leadoff single to left field, followed by an oppo-shot by alexei ramirez to right center, god i love watching him hit.. wild pitch, both runners advance with dye at the dish dye k's on a 1-2 breaking pitch

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Mar 8, 2008 -> 05:19 PM) and if BA hit anything in 2006 we might have even made the playoffs. wow, lol.

game, sox lose 11-1, offense doesn't show up once again. angels radio guys were taking potshots at the sox offense pretty much all game lol, you could tell they were happy that they were blown out.

was 10-0 prior to the last two innings, d-backs 10-5 now, listening to the gameday audio right now, the way they are playing seems very swaggerish QUOTE(elrockinMT @ Mar 2, 2008 -> 04:20 PM) All they are trying to do as starters is get loose and build up arm strength. Javy is throwing for the first time this spring I believe. Johan Santana got lit up the other day in his Mets debut. nah he has pitched in IS games, but this is the first cactus league game he's pitched

every ball ohka just pitched was hit hard, right to somebody lol

hadn't heard about a new delivery 10-3 dbacks, quentin, crede, ozuna, bourgeois, and thome all get hits (Cabrera in the middle flies out to right) paulie up now

it's only spring, yadda yadda ("He yadda yadda'd me!") Vazquez, J IP:2.1 H:5 R:5 ER: 4 BB:2 SO:3 HR:2 ERA:15.43 lol why no game threads today?

sox win 7-5

7-4 sox, dunno how we got the runs but

Robby Hammock hits an RBI double off Broadway, 4-4 top of 7th

alexian supports 4000 seats lol

jesus christ, thank god this isn't our starting squad, they're brutal game over.

this has to be frustrating for ozzie, becuase he knows most of the guys in the game right now won't break camp with the team but yet he still has to gauge their current talent level i'd be irate in the dugout.

LOL @ Dewon Day. And yet, it doesn't surprise me at how badly he's pitching.

fields IEDP

single to right by JD, station to station 4 life!

PK single to center, let's go JDDDDDDD

let's go Ehren, should be an easy inning for you

2-2, OC

Kid still hasn't arrived for ST, and it's already game 1 of cactus league play today this has to look absolutely terrible for his image, and whatever chance he had of being considered for 2B this year is probably just a dim glow now what do you guys think? is it true that he was told to try and take care of his VISA issues in advance so this wouldn't happen? this sounds ridiculous to me.

small guy, kinda like pablo

garland will put up better numbers in the AL West, it's that simple really. Bigger park to offset his, as of late, unpolished sinker, less offensive division in comparison to detroit+cleveland these reasons alone will make people proclaim all year that the cabrera/garland deal was a bust, which in fact may have been the wrong move, but i would argue, as garland's style of pitching wasn't working in the cell (remembe the twins game last year where he gave up... like 8 or 9 runs, and we ended up losing something like 15-11 or whatever, don't remembe the exact score. judy can't pitch in the cell consistently) i think cabreras stats will go up in the cell just like swishers will because of the smaller park and non-existant (for the most part) foul territory i don't really know much about quentin, i mean i've been following the boards since the day we got him but i don't really know a whole lot about him or his upside, with that said i'm excited to see him in ST favorite move: swisher KW's bust: uribe 4.5m
