Game 132 Preview
Tim Corcoran 4-6, 4.16 for the D-Rays
vs.
Jon "Staff Ace" Garland 15-4, 4.47 for the ChiSox
The Sox won an ugly one last night. I'm expecting something a little prettier this time around with our ace on the hill.
Now that we've got one game under our belt, my goal for the Sox during this 6 game stretch against the dregs of the league (TB and then KC) is for them to go 5-1. I'd be overjoyed with 6-0, but 5-1 is acceptable to me.
My pick to click is The Emperor, Tadahito.
James is going with Mr. MVP, JD.
DickDaStick is going with BA.
Let's see those Picks to Click!

Since Nordberg asked me to.
I'm taking Pods again tonight.
back in the mix...gimmee Crede.
I think it's time to get serious with this JD for MVP stuff. The national media doesn't seem to know he exists, but JD has the 2nd best case in the AL right now behind Jeter. And, he's not all that far behind.
I don't think JD is even behind Jeter.
So Jeter's got 13 points on him in average...he's 20HR and 25RBI behind him. Not to mention JD is the one with all those game tying and winning HR's against Nathan, Paplebon and Co.
I agree. The thing that Jeter has going for him is that he's on the Yankees, and the national media are fixated on the Yanks and those other Sox.
Good to hear from you again Tx via chicago
The Motor City Kitties went down in game 1 of their double header.
Just thought y'all should know.
Good luck everyone. Hope all your picks click! I'm going to have to abstain yet again, this is no time for the jinx. But I'll be there in person tonight & tomorrow to root all of them on....
Let's go Sox!
tonights lineup
Pods
Gooch
JD
Thome
Paulie
AJ
Clutch
Uribe
BA
The opening day lineup is back in tact with JD staying in the 3 hole Thome and Paulie sliding down one spot each.
One would think that there wasn't really a need for the offense to get better, but it can improve. Specifically, if Pods and Gooch can start getting on base regularly, the offense will be even better. BA is starting to get on, now we need Pods to step up and Gooch to stop hitting GIDPs.
Man, not the best start for our boys.
Wow, what a grab! That saved a run.
That HR rattled Jon
He's getting hit hard all over the place. He's gotta settle in, and get his focus back.
I think he may be getting it back now
*knock on wood*
His pitches are up a little.
C'mon on fellows, just like last night, early runs.
okay, it's gonna be on the offense again today
How do you take a pitch right down Broadway?
Keep the fires burning, I gotta few errands to run.
When I get back, I fully expect the score to be 4-3 Sox.
C'mon Paulie, clutch hit here
BA is the man.
M-V-P
lovely...we threaten but once again, no runs
BA actually misplayed a ball...leadoff triple, lovely
show me something AJ
by something, I didn't mean popup
What? Joey didn't send Paulie? Is he really learning on the job?
alright, I asked for 4-3 sox not 4-1 rays
what are we looking at for LOBs? 4 not including this inning?
that looked painful
LOL
good to see pods being pods
my pal over at SSS, winningugly, just gave me a new name for Scotty
Nudnik!
that's friggin awesome
awful
5 innings 8 LOB
6 innings 10 LOB
that won't ever get it done
1-2 hitters for the sox...7 of the 10 LOB
7 innings 11 LOB
JD's SB led to a run there
garland deserves a better fate
WTF is up with leaving Podsednik in?
fornelli's magic touch doesn't work two days in a row
iguchi is my idol.
big sigh of relief
Dye can do little wrong right now, can't he...
kinda hard to go wrong picking JD to click...he wins mvp votes with his SBs tonight
James, no doubt on that.
come on jenksie
1 down 2 to go
and we can all exhale now
another strange box score thought
9-3-6 DP
Now why the h3ll couldn't the Stankees hold off the tiggers?
a W is W but if were the Sox, I wouldn't be feeling particularly good about the last two games
relieved but not good
Pander,
Good luck on the move. Getting any closer to Chicago? Or is it a "within the walls" kinda move?
I wonder if he was a little off hitting in the 5 hole. It shouldn't affect his hitting that much, but mentally...
wait a minute
...watching Comcast right now. Jim Thome re-tweaked his hammy on his hit in the 8th and will be out for tomorrow's game.
Report says it could be a problem for the rest of the season.
Ooh, that sucks about Thome. But he had a nice day today. Truly a wild game. Fun to be there, obviously, at the end. Thank god for a horrible defensive performance by the Rays! And, of course, for Gooch.
Going again tomorrow. Any way we can keep Young on the bench?
