That's the Alex Rios I used to know.

Now Ozzie puts Andruw in. Hawk loves Kotsay so much that he gave Mark an imaginary hit.

It still doesn't look like the control is all there for JJ.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 03:16 PM) Putz is the guy who could make this one of the best pens around. Was that a splitter he threw to Grudz or was that a slider?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 03:13 PM) Lewis mowed through the middle of our line up. He should be their closer. He closed for them in 08 when Borowski sucked and got released.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 03:10 PM) As is Thornton according to Farmer. Putz has the 8th and Thornton the 9th I'm guessing. Or maybe they should pitch together since they're such great bros.

Putz warming up.

Through 7, good guys 5, bad guys nothing.

I almost thought Hafner hit that one out. Then I remembered that it isn't 2005 anymore.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 02:57 PM) The ESPN guys have been slurping the Indians all day. "They're so talented. They're so close." They suck. This is why you never take spring training seriously.

I'm already tired of Pierre.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 02:51 PM) Erstad homered in his first opening day with the Sox. Kotsay keeps trying to GIDP. So Kotsay's worse, lol.

Through 6, Mark's got a shutout.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 02:50 PM) Rios does that thing that BA used to do where he just glides to the ball. Makes everything so blase. I love that. That's what good outfielders do. They have confidence and they don't panic like Pods.

Nice play by Gordon there. Good range to his left.

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 02:45 PM) Why do I get the impression that Kotsay is the new Erstad, someone that Hawk will go on and on about how glad he's here etc no matter what he does? Because he literally is Erstad.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 02:46 PM) With Andruw Jones sitting on the bench. You'd think Ozzie would actually put him in, but I guess it was too early in the game.

Bases loaded and only one run. Fail. In this case, the "versatility" failed us, not the big guys who strike out.

Ugh, you don't want a double play there We could have put the game completely away there.

We need Rios to hit in this 5th spot. I'm tired of Kotsay hitting weak grounders left and right.

Lol, Hawk is messing up Choo's name. Shin Sin Choo...lawl.

Kotsay was that close to being a hero.

Laffey in. I would really like to see Jones up there, but that's not going to happen.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 5, 2010 -> 02:33 PM) He's wearing an elbow pad this year. I know, thank goodness.

Beckham continues to be awesome.
