QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 07:54 PM) It's funny how I expected us to win pretty much every game against the NL teams (even though at one point I said we weren't capable of sweeping anybody this year), and now I also expect us to get beat up by Texas. Hope we compete well but if we can't win 2 of 3 from KC how we gonna do it against Texas?? Cuz baseball is a funny game.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 1, 2010 -> 04:50 PM) My name is Jordan4life, and I'm retarded. Anyway, I still think we're going to get waxed. Let it be known if there's any waxing to be done it will be by the Sox.

You can put it on the board.. Yes !!!

Perfect pitch Peavy !

I always wondered why both runners get credit for a stolen base on a double steal . Logically you can only throw out one of them.

Gift from Guillen and Getz.

Billy Butler blast bomb BOOM !

I was a little worried about that pop up since reading about how DV might have a depth perception problem and the SS usually takes the popups.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 05:53 PM) Fastball on the inner half...which is the pitch he's really struggled with this season. He has to realize he's not using an aluminum bat anymore. When has Viciedo used an aluminum bat ?

I'll take that kind of funk from Vizquel and Rios

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 28, 2010 -> 09:34 PM) I honestly think if Steve Stone wasn't employed by the sox org., he would definitely be saying something about Ozzie and the lack of playing time for Dayan, like he did with Sweet Lou and Colvin. I mean it is probably killing him now to stay quiet about it. Perhaps, but Stone probably thinks the Cubs are out of it so therefore should have a long look at Colvin who has produced pretty good in his limited playing time. The Sox were on a roll when DV was brought up so you don't mess with a streaking team. Maybe if DV had and many AB's as Colvin when Stone made his comment and his production was just as good and the Sox were out of it Stone would say the same thing. But the situations are different so merit a more cautious approach.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 07:06 AM) Threets is not a prospect. He's a 28 year old left handed reliever who has bounced around the minors for a good amount of time now. Still, he's never been up with the Sox before and with his great minor league numbers perhaps a bit of an introduction is needed for those with less knowledge of the Sox minor league system.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 09:28 PM) Let's finish the month with Randy Williams being sent down. What do you say? Don't we usually see a separate thread in the important topics section when a prospect is called up such as Threets ?

I don't know weather to be happy or sad with those stats. You're pointing out the Bacon has a chance to have a gang buster 2nd half, which is good. OTOH you're comparing him to Joe Crede which in and of itself is not a bad thing. Many of us were hoping he had a higher ceiling and every game he doesn't hit makes us wonder if he'll ever be even as good as Crede. God, I hate sophomore slumps.

Just goes to show what happens when closers can't get saves. Booby still gets saves and still gets a lot of grief.

This is aimed at Coolmanjoe. If the Sox do get Dunn you know Viceido will be part of the deal. That's why he's up here, to show he's ML ready . He can then replace Dunn at 1st for the Nats .

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 02:26 PM) I don't care how much he costs, I'd be willing to give up my left nut for a 3-4-5-6 of Rios, PK, Prince, and Quentin (if Quentin keeps hitting like he has a pair). Are the Brewers looking for a left nut ?

Thank you pitching staff for the great run. Thanks for the 2 out hitting and hitting with RISP. Thank you defense for being way above average. Thank you luck for being on our side for so long. And finally thanks for the 9th inning rally today to make things interesting even though many of the things that kept the streak going ended today. Please put an e in "deserve's " Mr. Mods.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 02:21 PM) My prediction is that in two weeks, we're going to be counting down to when Teahen returns. Maybe so if Omar stops hitting but at least his fielding is solid.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 10:44 AM) He's 43 and he plays baseball. We're not asking him to play rugby. Just think of all the guys out there wearing hardhats in the heat welding iron and working as laborers. I think Omar can handle catching a ball and swinging a bat 4 times a game. He's a special kind of player, and always has been. I think he can continue to compete at a reasonably competent level (especially defensively) on an every-day basis for the remainder of the year if we called upon him to do so. I'll give you that. In the summer I'm completely exhausted every day and have to go back out there and do it the next day . I do however get 2 days off per week and I'm way older than Omar. And I'm constantly on the move for 8 hrs. Omar can sit on the bench or might go several innings with no action at his position or no baserunning.
