Lillibridge will try to get a bunt base hit, which if he's successful is just as bad as getting a no-no thrown against you

Beckham was safe, would've probably been ruled a fielder's choice error though

QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2011 -> 08:52 PM) Yes, and could easily wind up being pink slip day won't happen until late may, early june Kenny will just say "Weren't the Rays no-hit 2 or 3 times last year? I think they did pretty well"

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 3, 2011 -> 08:50 PM) Well, this s***'s gonna happen. After seeing those last two plays, it's Liriano's night. you can go back the past 3 years and name a game date where we were damn close to being no-hit, it was BOUND to happen, LOL at our biggest rivals getting it done f*** this team

QUOTE (fathom @ May 3, 2011 -> 08:46 PM) We really need to find a way to get Lillibridge and Viciedo's bat into the lineup against LHP. ozzie made it very clear at Cork & Carey's or however you spell it, two days ago, Viciedo is not gonna be on this team this year barring an injury to somebody, he said Viciedo is not ready

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 3, 2011 -> 08:45 PM) I can't figure out if I would like to see us get no-hit, to nationally embarrass this offense and get some more talk about firing Walker, or just get 1-hit so we are't national news, but still means we are awful at hitting. Thoughts? depends on if the 1-hit gives us a win or not, if it's just a measley 2-out single, then f*** it, i want the no-no

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 3, 2011 -> 08:44 PM) Haha, that's possible, but I actually thought yesterday's against Guthrie was good for the Sox. Good fastball, good control, so-so breaking stuff, prone to making mistakes...seems like about the only kind of guy the Sox can hit right now. I think Pavano would be a better matchup for the Sox right now, though that sinker scares me too. that's the thing with twins pitching, they rarely make mistakes in the zone, our pitchers do pretty frequently' they dont leave sliders over the middle of the plate, they bounce in the dirt or are way inside or outside off the corner, fastballs are in or out, or up or down

Just 9 more outs, Frankie!

QUOTE (WilliamTell @ May 3, 2011 -> 08:31 PM) I think it was in 08 where Dontrelle Willis had the ugliest no hitter going against us through 5 innings or so until we finally broke through and ended up winning the game. I can't see how good or bad Liriano is pitching, but hopefully we can break through in the 6th again. he isn't pitching nearly as poorly as Dontrelle was that game

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 3, 2011 -> 08:31 PM) But it appears so far it is good enough to beat us. Liriano came in to this game with an ERA over 9 and he has us no-hit through 5. What's up with that? Just tip your cap!

I love how that f***ing lardass Cooper never goes to the mound until it's too late. f***ing lazy prick

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 3, 2011 -> 08:24 PM) it's starting to feel like a no-no Good, the front office won't be able to ignore this suckfest for long if we continue to struggle followed by getting shutout+no hit. They can talk all they want right now about how nobody is in danger of losing their jobs, but it's just bulls*** talk to make the team feel no pressure. The reality is, s*** will hit the fan if this team keeps sucking and people WILL be dealt and fired, that's just a fact.

man, these hitters are so bad, haha

LOL, Thome dressed up as Paul Bunyun in this ridiculous Twins commercial

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 3, 2011 -> 07:03 PM) No Big Jim. Oblique. So, No Mauer, Thome, Young. If the Sox lose this game, LOL, I'd love to hear the excuses

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 3, 2011 -> 03:24 PM) He has been saying the Bulls will lose since the beginning of the season. I have? Nice

QUOTE (kev211 @ May 3, 2011 -> 03:07 PM) Overreaction much? The Hawks are not that good. If Johnson and Crawford continue to hit contested shots well lose the series, if they don't well win. I am pretty confident in the fact that they wont. Bulls in 5 or 6. I don't care how bad Rose's ankle is. HAWKS IN 6.

QUOTE (ptatc @ May 3, 2011 -> 02:53 PM) A grade 2 sprain is a partial tear of the ligament, up to 50%. The ligaments are extension of the joint capsuleso there is concomitant laxity in the joint with special tests. The results don't change much during the playoffs. You tape it tightly add a functional ankle brace and hope he doesn't make it any worse. The downside is he may play a little more tentative due to the possibility of making it worse. And that my friends, is a EC Semifinal Loss, Hawks in 6

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 2, 2011 -> 11:04 PM) In retrospect, we could have used a young upgrade at catcher. Who was available though? On the other topic, who cares if he's disliked? In a clubhouse full of ballplayers there probably are 5-10 pricks in there anyway. So AJ is one of them. Big deal. Not the same thing Having pricks on a team is different than all of your teammates going behind your back telling media members "No, we can't stand the guy"

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 2, 2011 -> 10:12 PM) Mark's ERA is 4.37 maybe he ain't dead yet. ERA is meaningless if you're trying to evaluate a pitcher. There are better stats to look at, like xFIP and WHIP that remove things like defense helping him out Look at those and you'll see Buehrle got out of a LOT of jams tonight thanks to his defense (8 hits, 4 walks in 6.2IP = ~1.8 WHIP) lol

Dan & Lawrence (Terry was off) were talking about AJ and how his teammates have made it well known that they either hate him (their words, not mine), or strongly dislike him If this is the case and isn't misinformation, why did we bring this clown back? Even Goff said he heard the pitchers can't stand him

how bad is rose hurt btw? turned the game off a long time ago

QUOTE (Felix @ May 2, 2011 -> 09:28 PM) This one's over. LOL it was over when the Bulls bought into their own hype wagon. I love how all the analysts predicting a 5-game series are gonna get thoroughly owned

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ May 2, 2011 -> 09:25 PM) lol what can you do against that? Get better offensive players. Just a thought.

QUOTE (Felix @ May 2, 2011 -> 09:21 PM) Noah deserved that T. Bad call or not, you can't b**** and moan like that. Considering how most of you feel about Howard's antics... agree 100%
