QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 07:55 PM) Mackowiak's defense, arm, average, power, and OBP are all much better than Pods'. Mackowiak won't steal as many bases, but he will steal them intelligently. His caught stealing won't be near as many as Pods. Mackowiak is a better base runner...and he hustles more. Well Pods completely stopped stealing altogether. Hard not to keep pace with that.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 07:51 PM) Seriously what the hell has given Pods this right to lazily run to 1st? Ozzie needs to question his hustle not just Juan's.

7 pitch inning.

Nice job watching a near disaster Freddy.

How many more excuses from the booth on that one?

QUOTE(Finkelstein @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 06:14 PM) Here is the lineup... Pods LF Iguchi 2B AJ C Dye RF Crede 3B Gload 1B Cintron DH Anderson CF Uribe SS Cintron instead of Mackowiak?

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 04:53 PM) That NYY series is scaring me. Why? Our ace Jon Garland will be pitching. BTW Soriano just hit his 2nd HR today. He would have looked very nice in LF for us. Oh well.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 11:04 AM) Evangelical pastor speaks against mixing church/politics. Good read. Thanks Soxy. Great read.

1 run on 10 hits for the Twins. How awful.

You spoke too soon i=d.

Now all we need is a Sox win and losses by Boston and NY.

Liriano sitting out today proves to be costly.

This would be a nice game to deplete the Twins bullpen and screw them up for a few days. Especially since they got killed yesterday. 4-0 Rangers

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 12:56 PM) nice to see we got a few people watchin, should be nice to have a non-negetive pissy, moaning game thread. Go Texas I'm at work...catching bits and pieces. So far so good.

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 12:52 PM) you watchin on mlb.tv too sqwert? Nah. I rarely use mlb.tv. Following via gameday. Boof in trouble.

QUOTE(iguchi=dank @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 12:32 PM) 1-0 texas, texiera goes deep texiera must love not seeing liriano Might be a lot of runs in this game. Boof vs Kip.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 10:39 AM) I'll have the roast duck with the mango salsa. Nicely done.

Took Ozzie long enough.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 10:10 AM) Whats the point of the post? That our offense looking good in it's last 5 days is more likely attributed to playing 2 awful pitchings staffs than having anything to do with Thome not playing or Sandy being here.

QUOTE(That funky motion @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 09:48 AM) I agree! Gload has been doing well at first. I also noticed that AJ has been doing better since Sandy got here. Right. I also noticed the temperatures have gotten very hot in Chicago since Thome hurt his wrist. Must be a correlation there too.

I'm just hoping for back-to-back kick ass game threads.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Aug 2, 2006 -> 12:29 AM) Alright, I'm on board. I was very encouraged by Buehrle's outing last night. Love the Brian Anderson avatar.

From SoxMachine blog: The Dodgers designated Jose Cruz Jr. for assignment today. Los Angeles needed to open a roster spot, and Cruz has had a disappointing season thus far, only batting .233 with five homers. Actually, this season is somewhat par for the course for his career, as he's never met the expectations he had as a first-round pick. But look what he's done against lefties over the last four years: 2006: .313/.420/.522 2005: .325/.426/.525 2004: .264/.364/.465 2003: .304/.405/.519 He can play all three outfield positions, although like Rob Mackowiak, he's weak in center. But the guy hits lefties so well -- and Mackowiak, Scott Podsednik, Ross Gload and Brian Anderson don't -- that it's worth a phone call to Ned Coletti to see what he would cost.
