BigSqwert Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Curious to see our lineup tonight. Who do you all think will get most of the DH duties in September. I'm thinking a rotation of Pods, AJ, and Flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Yes, especially in the dome, where speed and defense are even more important. Rios hasn't done much of anything at the plate since joining the Sox, but he's been a pleasure to watch in center, covering a huge amount of ground. Â With the speedsters Ozzie can choose to put in the lineup (Pods, Rios, Getz, Alexei, and even Nix and Beckham), the Sox have their best chance to win in years in the Twinkiedome. We just need for AJ to teach the other guys in the lineup how to hit bloopers over the infield - AJ had a couple last night. Fly balls or even liners hit to the outfield that are not home runs are outs in the dome, with the Twins' speedsters. The Twins know how to win in the dome, but we can now match them with speed and beat them, if we get some well-timed hits. Â Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't necessarily think that the trades are KW's way of saying he's giving up. Both moves made sense in order to get ready for 2010, but aside from losing Thome's big bat (which has been inconsistent), the team is still intact. Â I predict a win tonight and tomorrow.

greg775 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Any chance the trades somehow spark this team to go on a tear? Â No. I'd say Cleveland is licking its chops with a good chance of catching us in the standings. I can never recall a time, it's been a while since I firmly expect us to lose night in and out. That has been this road trip. Just chalk up another loss today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 After the trade of Thome and Contreras and basically the admission now of KW that we are done for the season it will be interesting to see how the team reacts. We need to win 2 games here at the HumphreyDump and maybe as Ozzie said thse guys have looked themselves in the mirror. It is too bad we didn't get something in return for either player, but in this day and age I guess that was to be expected. I hope to listen on XM radio tonight.

greg775 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 (edited) I wonder what other teams hate the Humpydome as we do. Who else bombs in there??? Â -- Do you guys hate the fact we have flopped against the Central this year? Is it going to be a pattern in the future? We are going to be considered the rivals of the Twins, Royals forever. The Royals go headhunting when they play us; never against other teams. They've played us pretty close the past 2 seasons. The Twins get geeked out of their minds to embarrass us at the dome. They will want to continue the trend in the new stadium and at least will be intense in those games trying to prove it wasn't just the dome that doomed the Sox. We have had great luck vs. Detroit til this year. IMO Kenny needs to start treating our team as if we are in the East Division because these Central teams get jacked up to play us and that will not change next year or the following years to come. Are any of you bothered by the pesky teams who beat us up this year in the Central?? Edited September 1, 2009 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Uecker was great in those movies! Good news fans, the Indians are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact they appear to be beating the crap out of each other. It looks like Willie Hayes is trying to hit Rick Vaughn, and why not, everyone else in the league does. Hayes swings and misses. I don't know Monte, it looks like Vaughn is carrying his left a little low. This could hurt him in the later rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Wow.. if the season ended today we'd have the 13th (or 14th since were tied with the Brewers) overall pick in the draft, and are 5-6 games back from picking in the top 10 (8th-10th) overall. Pretty crazy to see how much mediocrity does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metz Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 T-Flow will be wearing #39, but I doubt that will be his official number if he makes the team next spring .. thats the number Getz wore last year when he got the call up so I am just assuming  I want to change my username to TFlow## .. but ill have to wait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
