Thank you A.J.!

Where was this catch in the first inning Alexei?

We need to make our move this inning. Now or never guys. Middle of the lineup coming up.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 08:01 PM) Alexei trying to bunt on a 2-0 count in the 3rd inning of a one-run game. Ugh I hate that. It was 3-1. Do that on 2-1, not 3-1. 3-1 is pretty much a fastball count and you don't give up a fastball down the middle on a bunt. I don't care if the 3B was playing in the bleachers.

Alexei bunting on 3-1. Makes a lot of sense. UGH.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 07:46 PM) BTW, Wise is going to be DFA'd in 10 days. He'll get the majority of the playing time this home stand, and then when CQ returns, he gone. I have nothing against Dweezy. But Ozzie has made him everybody's enemy because he sits BA whenever he can.

That inning certainly sucked.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 07:43 PM) haha i noticed that too. Maybe Stoney can't stand the homerism.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 07:36 PM) we will hit this pitcher. Seems so. If he's gonna be this wild, then yes.

Wow, Matt Holliday robbed us.

Could have been better, but we got that one run in.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 1, 2009 -> 07:24 PM) Yeah, in one moment he can mesmerize you, but the next makes a simple play look tough or has a mental error. Alfonso Soriano much?

Alexei's cost us 3 runs over the last two games with his defense. He better bring the bat with him tonight.

Alexei's stupid play puts us down 2-0.

Let's get this game in.

QUOTE (greg775 @ May 31, 2009 -> 06:44 PM) Yeah there was a radio promo on "Sweep the Sox." I think they really thought they'd get well on the Sox. They didn't. Praise for Pods. He's proving a lot of people wrong. I admit I didn't want him back. Maybe he's destined to only play decent baseball for the Sox, nobody else. His contributions today were huge obviously. He set the tone nicely. Gotta keep it going obviously, but this was a nice win. I admit I didn't want Pods back and praise him today. Are any of you who were down on the Pods acquisition changing your tune? I think a Kansas City radio host also talked to Greinke about hitting A.J. last year in a series at the cell. I think the Sox scored 6 off of Greinke in that first inning and rolled over them in the series. When will they ever learn?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ May 31, 2009 -> 08:09 PM) What is odd about that report is I cant see the Astros trading Oswalt to a NL Central team. Exactly, which is why I say BS.

Nice idea to put the schedule on the jumbotron.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:15 PM) isnt that the point? By way too much, I mean we probably don't have enough to get him. I think he's signed through 2012 at a relatively good price.

QUOTE (tommy @ May 31, 2009 -> 07:05 PM) Dan Haren. Dan Haren would require just way too much. He would make this team a World Series contender though.

This article screams BS at me. Who's his source? How does he know he would rather play for the Cubs or Cardinals? Why would the Astros trade him to a division rival? Seems like a flawed article.

Angels came all the way back after being down 8-0. That also helped me win my fantasy game this week as well. 3-0 for the week.

QUOTE (AWhiteSoxinNJ @ May 31, 2009 -> 06:12 PM) Close the thread down....Oswalt won't waive his no trade clause to the Sox I really don't think we need Oswalt. Not at the price of what we were going to pay for Peavy and maybe more.

Josh is starting to heat up again. Seeing him K every other at bat makes me cringe inside, so this new wave of hitting for him is making me feel a lot better.
