QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 25, 2011 -> 12:30 PM) Gavin pitching a... gem so far. Blah didn't even say no hitter and 2 seconds later a KC hit.

Gavin pitching a... gem so far.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 22, 2011 -> 07:49 AM) For a minimum of 50 PA's this month, he's 10th. Now 8th at 1.071

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 22, 2011 -> 05:12 PM) Brooks Boyer should tell Hawk to stiffle the "race for second place" crap. If second place in the AL Central is any reason to celebrate even a little bit, no wonder the Sox are a dissappointment. It's on the Sox website ,too.

Juan keeps hitting w RISP.

Morel in September 2011 7 HR, 17 RBI, 13 BB, .279 BA, .405 OBP, .689 Slg, 1.094 OPS, 12 K Everything but BA easily surpasses his high for any other month indicating a definite change of approach .

Morel 2 run bomb 8-2 Sox.

Rios HR 6-2 Sox

Alexei HR # 15. Solo shot. 5-2 Sox.

DeAza continues to hit driving home a pair. 4-2 Sox.

Morel looks like he's establishing that he's a 1st pitch fastball hitter. Wonder how many he will see next year. Almost hit it out drove home Viciedo.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 08:09 AM) This is a great blog. I forgot about Beckham anything think there could be a lingering affect there. Easily the best Sox blog . Long time reader.

Even better article than Ballatini's basically saying Indians and Twins might be hitting or at least pitching inside to Sox hitters as part of game strategy. http://www.southsidesox.com/

Anybody claim P.A. announcer ? Dibs !!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 17, 2011 -> 07:54 AM) Rocky Horror Picture show dual meaning. I've seen Rocky Horror maybe 5 times ( over 20 yrs that's not a lot) and I don't get it. I was thinking sung to the tune of Carly Simon's "Anticipation".

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 08:56 PM) Didn't see the game. I'm assuming Humber sucked? Should there be concern considering how blah a pitcher he was in second half? Nice to see Beckham's line. And you gotta love DeAza. Who isn't there concern about ?

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 08:28 PM) Well, great night all-around. All the young guys look good, and the old guys were bad. He was probably playing more shallow than usual since the winning run was on 2nd base, but really why should he? Even on a single they might test his arm though also could just keep the bases loaded with less than 2 outs.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 08:25 PM) Missed the final play...could Pierre have caught it? It was a well hit ball Pierre didn't have much time to react but it looked like he froze then had it go over his outstretched glove.

The Thornton /Pierre combo strikes again.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 07:41 PM) And y'all were so dumbfounded when I spent a few months saying patience, Morel has plenty of pop. Not I in the y'all.

Those 5-6 hitters of ours tearing it up today.

Nice job Morel .

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 06:35 AM) Hear my train a-comin'. Maybe Reinsdorf shouldn't model the Sox after an organization referred to as " Dem Bums".

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 16, 2011 -> 12:53 PM) Rios cf, Dunn dh, There's your 5-6 spots. 4-5-6 combined -3.5 WAR for the season . No one in MLB can match that middle of the lineup ! Go Sox !

As if we need any more indictments of this team but... in his short time with the team Alejandro De Aza has the 4th highest oWAR among position players behind only Konerko , Quentin and Ramirez .
