JoeCredeYes Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 It boggles my mind that a large percentage of high school graduates in this country cannot spell the word "tomorrow" properly. The day before you are set to get your diploma they should make you spell, tomorrow, weird, and friend correctly. Then demonstrate proper usage of your, you're, too, to, and two. Twenty years from now I'm going to have some recent college grad, surely named Aiden, Aden, Aydyn, Aaden, Brayden, or Jayden send me an E-mail that says, "Sir, ur 2pm meetting 4 tommorrow has been canceled". And I'm going to throw a desk at him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukeNukeEm Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Can we never bat Gordon Beckham in the bottom 3rd of the order again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsidehawkeye Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Aug 3, 2009 -> 10:23 AM) What is your lineup the rest of the way? To me its simple, you give Bacon as many at bats as you can. Hit him 2nd! Pods CF Beckham 3B Dye RF Thome DH Konerko 1B Pierzynski C Quentin LF Ramirez SS Getz 2B I'm very happy going with that lineup from here on out - The only change that I would consider is possibly moving TCQ up if he starts to hit "God Style" again.

iamshack Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Is he coming back tomorrow or Wednesday? I thought I had heard Wednesday at the earliest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAfan Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 In runs created per game, Alexei is bringing up the rear among the Sox starters. Not only is Getz by him, but so is Jayson Nix. And Ramirez hasn't been that hot of late. So I wouldn't hesitate to drop Ramirez down into the 8 or 9 hole against righties. Though, against lefties he still rakes, so I would move him up to 6th or 7th. Against righties Pods Beckham Dye Thome Konerko AJ Quentin Getz Ramirez Against lefties Pods (hitting them equally well) Beckham (torches them) Dye (worse against lefties, but still solid Konerko (creams lefties) Thome (hitting lefties about the same this year) Ramirez (torches lefties) Quentin (horrible against lefties so far this year, but hit them well last season) AJ (pretty bad against lefties, but Castro no better) Getz/Nix (Getz hits lefties better, and better than Nix, but not so well that you couldn't switch here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo's Drinker Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I would rather play Nix than Ramirez. Ramirez is just not that good to me. Nix at the bottom of the order has some pop, takes pitches, and can hit and run. Ramirez pulls everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nix at the bottom of the order has some pop, takes pitches, and can hit and run. Ramirez pulls everything. Man, why do some guys become favorites and other not? Are you serious? Alexei is electric and a good hitter; Nix a sub. As far as his sloppiness at ss, didn't we all know this would happen this year? The Sox decided to move him from second where he was damn good. I can't believe Lexi is about to become a Wise-like figure in many fans eyes if Oz bats him second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCSox Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 QUOTE (tommy @ Aug 3, 2009 -> 07:39 PM) I'll take Alexei any day over Nix as my starting SS. No kidding. Nix has 4 errors in 9 starts at SS this year, which makes Alexei look like Ozzie Smith in comparison. Nix has great versatility as a utility player, but let's not get carried away.

The Bones Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 No way Nix starts over Alexei at SS nor should he but I do like Beckham in the 2 hole from here on out. Hopefully Alexei will hit for more power lower in the order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickofypres Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) I think Bacon would make a great #2 hitter, but with Alexei in the 2-hole he seems more good pitches (for him anyway) and his average and power increase which is always nice Edited August 4, 2009 by whitesox901 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good utility guy to have but come on now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nix at the bottom of the order has some pop, takes pitches, and can hit and run. Ramirez pulls everything. Nix looks awful at the plate. Nix has pretty awful plate disciple. He really looks like a young hitter, he pulls everything hittable foul, occasionally connection for a HR down the line. He swings at a lot of pitchers set up pitches (in the dirt, low and away, etc) and strikes out. At least in Alexi's free swinging-ness he has shown he can actually turn those pitchers pitches well out of the zone into hits occasionally. .
