Hamilton won't even have to hit again.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 05:49 PM) Isn't everyone's favorite part of the Josh Hamilton saga when the Cubs dealt him for nothing? HA yes it is !

WOW ! When will he get tired ?

What's he hit about 18 in a row ?

This is so much fun to watch.

All you have to do is bump the where the sox will finish predictions thread to see that most Sox fans should be overjoyed at being in 1st place. I predicted a .500 or worse team based on only 1 or 2 of the young players improving on last season along with career norms for the rest of the team. Almost every young guy has done way better than expected. CQ, Alexei, Danks and Floyd in particular have catapulted this team into a bonafide contender. The bullpen's 1st half numbers far exceed the numbers from last year. I fully expect the young hitters to keep up the pace. It's the pitchers I worry about returning to the mean. But if everyone keeps doing what they're doing we're a playoff bound team and I couldn't be happier about that.

Thome's been very good since I went to the young Mr. Thome avatar .

yep

Just an amazing game. Hamilton is too good and Kinsler has the quietest 24 game hitting streak around. Nice to see Paulie hitting. Thome with a bomb and the final out by Alexei and Swish just made me stare open mouthed. Was listening to Oingo Boingo's 2nd album "Nothing to Fear" and a song called "Reptiles and Samurai".Was perfect up tempo music for up tempo baseball.

Wow ! just plain wow. Helluva game.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 9, 2008 -> 06:36 PM) BTW, it did look like Dye was the one that brought everything up, not Cabrera. OC was getting congrats in the dugout when he passed JD , JD said something , probably something like , "thanks for getting getting in my way" and it pissed off OC mightily. OC on 3rd with 1 out is a lot better than him on 2nd with 1 out and he was also giving JD a chance at an easy RBI so JD was definitely in the wrong.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 9, 2008 -> 06:28 PM) All we saw on TV was O CAB screaming and swinging his arms a lot but not sure why. OC was at the far end of the dugout yelling and cursing at someone at the other end or middle of the dugout. Contreras was restraining him. Dye possibly said something to OC about distracting him when OC stole 3rd while JD swung and missed to be in an 0-2 hole at the plate. Subsequently JD struck out.

OC was hot cursing up a storm , maybe JD said something about distracting him.

QUOTE (FranktheTank35 @ Jul 8, 2008 -> 07:21 PM) What is the point of the widget, besides opening the voting page? So you can vote for Dye ?

DP WOOO HOOO ! Marathon ova !

It don't come easy, ya know it don't come easy.

Very nice and very weird inning but I love a 2 run lead and Alexei !
