SoxFan562004 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Wood on the verge of imploding again. Leadoff walk, out, walk, walk, bases loaded one out and he Ks Teahen, 2 down still loaded and he gets a K for the tension filled save Edited May 21, 2009 by SoxFan562004 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) Wood is really shaken up. He just can't throw a strike with the slider or the curveball. Can't believe Wedge can keep his job with the Indians on the verge of being 9 1/2 games off the pace... Looks like they might have to trade Lee and DeRosa this summer. Two outs...bases loaded, just struck out Teahen with one out and bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th. The pesky David DeJesus at the plate. Wood survives. KC 2 GB, Sox and MINN 5.5 GB, CLE 8.5 Edited May 21, 2009 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 (edited) So Verlander has suddenly become 2001 Randy Johnson. His K/9 has to be something like 13 in his last 4 or 5 starts. This after never registering a K/9 over 8.17 in 2007 (not that that's bad) and average K rates in 2006 and last year. Performance enhancing drugs anyone? I don't think that's the case. But it just goes to show you the double standard there is. If a position player belts 10 HR's in 20 games he's automatically suspected of cheating.

The Ginger Kid Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ May 20, 2009 -> 04:58 PM) So yeah, Justin Verlander looks amazing. If he can regain form and be an ace, I don't see anyone staying close to the Tigers this year in the ALC. if all they were lacking was an ace, then I would agree.

greg775 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 KC is really struggling. 4-12 in last 16 I believe. It's all coincided with the loss of Soria, though obviously he's not the reason for this collapse. It's just a weird coincidence. They are doing a promotion for a "sweep the Sox" weekend. Should be interesting to see how we play against a team that is sucking. It would be nice to get 2 of 3 versus the Angels first. Need one more to do that.

Balta1701 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Grady Sizemore's hurting and may be headed to the DL. The Indians also demoted Matt LaPorta, called up Trevor Crowe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Greinke can go .500 with an ERA of 4 or so the rest of the season and he still might get the CY. What we're witnessing from him has now entered the land of historic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackTalkThai Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 The Tigers take the rubber match 8-3 against the Royals and in so doing... Rick Porcello became the first Major League pitcher since Dwight Gooden to win five consecutive starts at age 20 or younger, and he fell a run shy of doing it with five straight starts of one run or none for the first time since Fernando Valenzuela in 1981.

santo=dorf Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Nick Punto is looking like a big waste of cash. He's showing less power than Delmon Young who still only has 1 double and a walkscraping HR off Buehrle (Anderson would've robbed him) as his XBH's.
