joejoesox Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 man, this is going to be an exciting april/may and probably june for sox fans, we're 9-5 (amazing) and aren't really hitting the ball like i'd like us to be (Konk, where art thou?) with that said, we're 9 and friggin 5 and i'm thrilled about that, but at the same time... i dunno about anyone here but every day i feel as if i'm waiting for the train to derail and all of the sudden we start slipping to 2nd, then 3rd then maybe further in the standings. maybe it's because 2007 was so BRUTAL that i'll probably never be completely confident in this team until all 162 games are played. does anyone else have that false sense of security with this team, so far besides me? it's different than in 05, we were just dominating everyone and had a pretty nice lead at the end of april, but this year we have KC and even the Twins not too far behind us go sox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggliopipe Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Leyland has switched Guillen and Cabrera in the infield, with Guillen switching to third base and Cabrera to first (apparently on a permanent basis). This certainly diminishes Cabrera's value some. A change in position was bound to happen but I didn't think it'd be so soon. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpag...MLB&id=2681 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not sure what he based that on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see him yesterday, and he was only in for two outs, so not many people did. When I watched his previous two outings, iirc, his velocity was so-so, low 90s generally. One report of yesterday: "Liriano threw 35 pitches, but only 15 were strikes. His fastball began in the high 80s, gradually approached the mid-90s several batters into the game, and rarely approached the plate." They are letting him throw a slider, but it sure as hell ain't THE slider. Not yet, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 If Liriano ever gets some what back, he's just going to get hurt again. Unfortunately for him, a lot of people saw this stuff coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxpranos Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Man, Granderson is what a lead off man should look like. Cleveland and Detroit are very fortunate to have very good lead off men. He just homered to give the Tigers the lead , ball probably went 420 ft ..it was a rope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
