Panda with 3 hits and deven with a big E. footsteps....

not to mention the "callup effect". generally the first time a player is called up to the show he puts some good swings on the ball. a couple of reasons but most notable is the lighting in Major League stadiums is 10x better than the minors. the baseballs are perfect and have the average lifespan of 3 pitches. also the batter's eye (as in the background in CF stands) is better at major league ballparks. let's see where he is once his eyes get used to the bright lights and the ball isnt so bright to him. let alone the opposing pitchers getting the book on him.....

it was nice to see the offense put Sale on their backs. makes up for some of those putrid early season offensive performances when he threw gems.

Espinoza for a reliever. Eff DD.

i was running some 7' rough sewn red oak boards through my planer last night and slipped on some sawdust and banged my funny bone really really really hard. i told my wife i was going to take 10 days off of work to "recover". she called me a pussy so i guess i'll go to work today.....

Pedroia scheduled to hold a presser before today's game in order to let Abreu know that any retribution the ChiSox receive the next 2 nights is not him..."it's them" (pointing to the Red Sox clubhouse)........

hopefully he can pick up a box of Tampons while in town......

also...it's not like his wrist is broken. it's a "sprain". if my 11 year old tried to pull himself from a little league game for a "sprain" i would be appalled.....and call him a wuss.

i hear ya spud. and i'm not blaming pedey for the contact or how that particular play unfolded. what i am questioning is his "toughness". sometimes you have to ignore a boo-boo for the betterment of the team. gut it out and play through the pain. it was his glovehand. he still in the game and there is no doubt the out is made at home. but he was too busy rubbing ben gay on his wrist in the dugout......

i see it as 162 sprints. ~

wonder when the last time those ChiSox guns have been calibrated?!? positive start by Mr. Price yesterday. looked good. walks to be expected after long layoff / shaking off the rust.

i thought so until this season when i realized what as little baby dik he is.

if you are referring to me, i have never hated on him. this is new for me. #15 has given me two very good reasons this season to change the way i feel towards him.

are either of them expected back at some point this season?

i know i post a lot of sarcasm so even i'm not sure when i'm serious or not. but quite honestly, i meant this post. this was a game when we needed our best players to step up. Listen, i get it...it's only a game at the end of May. but here's the thing...we have been up and down and mostly playing "flat" all season. we then get some mojo going and rip off 6 W's in a row. we lose the finale at home and then hit the road for a long 10 game trip. game 1 of that trip our $31MM ace is making his first start of the season and yes, we need him to gain confidence. we all know it. so for our "dirt dog" dustin pedroia to stumble over the first baseman in his first AB and then take himself out of the game is PUSSIFICATION. i am fed up with this guy. for year's i thought he was a "team first" player. boy, was the wool being pulled over my eyes. NOT ANYMORE. this is twice in 2 months that he has shown his true colors. we needed that W yesterday. for many reasons. Pedroia needed to be a bitch ass baby dik. for his own selfish reasons. rant over - for now.

Pedroia is a pansie. I blame this loss 100% on him. The throw home would have been an out. This season has completely changed my view of #15.....

J-muther-effin-bay! Put the nail in Harmony coffin....

Hits are just "random" so..,,,,who knows!?!?! Btw - jbay YOU THE MAN

1. Look closely...we have 2 players currently having "trouble with the curve ". Benni & X-bo. My guess is that is all they will see in the coming weeks. 2. Kimbrell has shut me up big time so far this season. Hope he keeps my piehole closed. 3. E-rod is our #2. No doubt right now. 4. I blame Farrell for this win

Thank you

btw...i blame farrell for this 4 game winning streak.....

hard to argue with this.

s5. you know better than that. outs are random. productive is not a real thing. it's not a repeatable skill. something something...

or...Torre never got to the WS without a $200MM+ payroll......

not just you. count me and S5 in on this.
