Slow start on the year AGAIN, pitching is pedestrian, hitting is pedestrian.
Getting beat by no-name pitchers, etc, etc.
Are they just playing the tape from the start of the 2008 season?

Zach Greinke has pitched very well for the Bill Engvall-looking Trey Hillman and the yes, first place Kansas City Royals in the A.L. Central, but so has Bartolo Colon for the White Sox. I wish the Sox had more than 2 healthy outfielders on the roster...I think it'll be the Sox third straight loss on this trip. |

Quick 1-2-3 inning. If Bartolo doesn't give up any runs they may have a chance. That's not asking too much, is it?? |

Grienke is the best pitcher I have seen this year so far. Just dominating. |

As a Sox fan, its been painful to watch the Sox face Grienke twice already. As a baseball fan, its been a joy to watch the Sox face Grienke twice already. No W for Colon, but he kept the Sox in it. Quentin is really in a big funk. And this Pods/Lillibridge experiment has to be stopped. |

Greinke has to have one of if not the best start to a season in major league history. In 6 starts he's 6-0 and has a 0.40 ERA with 54 K's and 8 walks. It's awfully hard to do much better than that. He's been absolutely amazing. |

He's yet to give up a HR too. |

I am sick of looking up at the scoreboard in the fifth and seeing a giant zero. This is garbage. Something's gotta give,if it's Greg Walker so be it.Is it too early for a shake up?

Yeah, firing Greg Walker will automatically fix everything. |

Walker always gets off to a slow start. If he gets a couple hits tonight he can turn his season around. He's the type of hitter that can get hot and put the team on his back and carry them for a few weeks at a time. |

Dial flipping on the radio this morning and I heard Mike and Mike say that Fernando Valenzuela and Walter Johnson were the only other two to win their first six games and post a sub 0.4 ERA to start a season. Damn decent company to keep with that accomplishment. I know baseball is built on minutiae, but that's an impressive start. |

The Big Train was probably the best pitcher to play the game. |

Zach Greinke may be this year's Cliff Lee, and the way #23 in Royals' blue is pitching this year, I wouldn't be shocked if he won the Cy Young, and it's only May with plenty of baseball still to come...I have to tip my cap to Greinke. |

I would like to see someone try to get into a fight with Greinke after he throws inside. I figure that because he suffers from an anxiety disorder, if someone were to mess with him, it might screw him up for the rest of the year...I guess I'm now a meatball fan... |

Kyle Davies reminds me so much of a young Jeff Suppan. Hopefully he won't experience all the arm injuries that Suppan has has to endure. That said, I hope the Sox light his ass up tonight! |

Is it too early to put the Sox on the "Pay no Mind" list? They fucking blow. Nice home run ball Gavin. |

That HR should have counted for at least 5-6 runs. Man that ball was killed. |

Good to see them scoring other than via the HR. |

I am not, by any means, in the meatball "fire Greg Walker" camp, but my god he has got to do something about this failing to get a runner in from 3rd base with less than 2 out. |

11th inning -- choke on it! Instead we will load em up and hope for the DP. Hold on -- we are pitching to him... 1-1 2-1 and the man runs to second uncontested (and uncongested) 2-2... 3-2 on a ball in the dirt, good block by AJ 3-2 after a foul ball... LINER to 3B -- Out #2! |

Buck rips one past Fields to score the winning run after 11 innings.
