lostfan Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 When you are having trouble getting laid at the bar you bang the first fat chick you can get attention from. It might not be ideal but at the end of the night you still got laid and that's better than nothing. That's what this game was. I didn't like the bullpen making it into a game, but Carlos and Joe delivered and that's all that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I love the way the ball jumps off of Quentin's bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Also a positive out of yesterday... it was nice to see Ozzie not only play Anderson again, but trust him enough to put the squeeze on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Apr 30, 2008 -> 02:40 AM) Even if the season is a disappointment, at this point in time(a lot could change) the Sox have 3 solid young players in Quentin-Floyd-Danks that will make things much easier on Williams. I would include Fields in that, and Swisher's locked up for so long, I consider those 5 and Jenks as the future of this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I like the starting rotation so far. Lots of pleasant surprises. I actually look forward to Floyd starts, Danks is what I thought he would be, and Contreras doesn't make me cringe when he takes the mound.

True that. And I never thought we'd be in first place, even if it is like a 14-11 record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daa84 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 technically we carried had a 2 game winning streak coming into this game..and even though we lost it seems like people on here are acting like we were on a 5 game losing streak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow's game I am tempted to pencil in as a loss w/ Massett v. a guy who came pretty close to shutting us down when we resembled a decent hitting team. He should have a field day tomorrow.

Well if you are concerned about his effectiveness, I would think that would curb some of your excitement over having him on the ball club long-term.

SoxFan562004 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Well, this needs a bump. Coming into the season it was a rough opening month. After it is all said and done they're over .500 and in first by a game and a half. Yes, I know they took advantage of the Tigers when they were down, but that's a good thing! They beat a team when they were vulnerable, nothing wrong with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Brian Anderson finally gets extended playing time and consistent ABs one after another, and he sits pretty at .300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Not certain where this thought goes, but did anyone honestly think the team would not have a three game losing streak? There will be a few more, and probably a few longer ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
