Buster Olney just tweeted that Zach Stewart is a "power arm."

With Escobar PH'ing for Lillibridge, it's all but official.

QUOTE (MAX @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:16 PM) Nice to see him not gushing over him as much. He still is talking up his speed repeatedly, however. Yeah, he loves his speed, and that's about it. When Gomez was with the Twins, Hawk would talk him up like he was the second coming of Roberto Clemente. The best part was when he'd talk about him and his stat line would come on the screen: ".233, 3 HR, 14 RBI, .267 OBP." WHAT A GREAT PLAYER.

QUOTE (sin city sox fan @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:15 PM) Alright, lets win it for Zack here. Send his ass off to Boston with a good guys victory. Um, what?

I'm glad Hawk has changed his tune about Gomez since his Minnesota days. I remember he'd drool over that guy. At least he's finally realized he'll never be any good.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:05 PM) Kaplan says it is Stewart and a utility guy. CONFIRMATION AT LAST

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 04:03 PM) Sorry, but if the Sox are planning on those guys being a big part of their franchise going forward, it's likely going to be some ugly years at the Cell. Yeah. Stewart just isn't very good and Escobar is nothing more than a breath of fresh air every so often that Hudson stinks up.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 24, 2012 -> 03:56 PM) "We're not adding payroll." Sox fans better start showing up or we'll add nobody.

I'm not sure how anyone could hate this move. Boston will likely pay most of his remaining salary. Stewart is nothing more than a AAAA pitcher. If Youkilis comes here and hits .260, it's a good move. Way to go, KW.

What a disgusting f***ing game.

That graphic that FOX showed yesterday would say that Veras has been better lately, but his pitches are straight as an arrow. Let's go, Rios.

I'm unsure if that's Morgan being Morgan or another ballsy call from Roenicke, but that was f***ing dumb. Milwaukee had that count 3-1. Ouch.

If Reed gets out of this, Konerko is winning it with a bomb in the 9th against Axford or Veras. Pick your poison, Roenicke.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 08:29 PM) and he was so mad when tha sox retaliated and hit lahair. anyone that knows baseball would totally understand the situation. u cant hit someones best hitter in the head and clearly on purspose and expect for nothing to be done.what an idiot The worst part was that his reasoning for that line of thought was that "Hollandsworth thought that way." Oh please, Todd Hollandsworth?

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jun 21, 2012 -> 05:43 PM) I can't even watch Chicago Tribune Live with Kaplans blatant homerism. Of course the only thing he focuses on is A.J./Thornton forgetting how many outs there were. Nobody even mentions the Cubs plunking our batters, repeatedly over these last couple of series'. Kaplan is the biggest boob in Chicago. His bias is unreal. If you look through his tweets, he has about 6 tweets about the Sox since June 1. Disgusting.

Go on the Sox' website, click schedule, and on the bottom click "sortable schedule." Then do the same on Texas' site. That's how I match up the pitchers.

I guess it's a good time for my first post. I'd just like to say hello. I've been reading the boards for a long time. I've been a Sox fan since birth, and the 49 is because of the current SP who wears it. I can't wait to get started.
