If this game cant start til 9:30 don't you think it's dead? How can they start a game that late? Dumb.

Then why wasn't all the hate directed to the manager? People are smart. They should know. The guy can play baseball. He's a good reserve.

He had an excellent catch tonight as well that they keep showing.

D Wise is a quality big leaguer. The hate on here borderlined on insanity.

Yeah. He had that over the shoulder catch in cf tonight too.

D Wise with a bomb. I am SO happy that guy is in the bigs. He is a f***ing stud. Unappreciated stud.

Wow. Nix with 2 homers?? DWise looks great in centerfield for the Blue Jays vs. Twins. Made a great over the shoulder catch. He's a very very good last man on a roster.

Not really, but I really do think most every manager is disliked after every loss by his/her fanbase. s***, if the Sox lose all a hater has to do is criticize that day's lineup and that hater is the winner of the argument. How can you argue. If the team wins, however, Oz rarely gets any credit. A lot of people insist he gets little to no credit for 05. The dumbest argument EVER is that he just rode the pitchers as they threw complete games. Uh ... most managers wouldn't have even considered letting their pitchers go more than 7 or 8. It's matchups time in the 8th inning in the World Series don't you know?

Is Matt our new closer? Has this been discussed? He is really really good right now. I would think Oz would ride Matt for a while. Make Bobby the setup guy. I LOVE Bobby but nobody can argue how dominant Thornton looks. My god he's good.

I'm surprised he doesn't mention the course by name. Ah heck. I'm sure he gets free green fees anyway. Probably doesn't need to say the course name.

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but doesn't it seem weird that there's nobody else screaming "yes" with Hawk on the "put it on the board, yes" home run calls? Stoney whom I love will have no part of it. But it seems like it needs another guy yelling yes with him.

Thanx chw, I was half kiddin.

Don't 11000 posts make me more than "this guy?" I'm not that big a dick.

Thanks for the family bathroom info. That is important news. Thanx!! Some wild s*** online right now. Lindsay Lohan goin to jail. She's crying like a zombie. The rich don't win this time.

If he's sent down I hope we have second baseman by committee: Lilly Omar and Teahen because giving the job to any one of them won't be any better than Beckham IMO.

I don't think he's a lost cause for the rest of the season. I actually think we need him. Do you want Lilly and Omar out there at second, and heaven forbid, Teahen?

Why do you want him set down so much? I don't understand why that is the cure all? Have him sit a while and hopefully the competitive juices will take over. Then maybe he'll start hitting. Sometimes I think people just want him sent down so they don't have to think about him anymore. We actually need him on this team. Lilly is not the answer. Omar is too old. Teahen stinks as well.

Well if anybody in this organization wants Jones to play every home game once he hits 399, then any and all of these people should be deemed dunces and have to wear dunce caps to every home game until he hits such home run.

With all due respect, I think you've lost your mind. Nobody cares about his 400 home runs. Nobody and the Sox know that. Nobody would buy a ticket to see him hit it; nobody gives a f*** about his milestone. He is an awful hitter.

Great post. I'd just be worried in this day and age about letting a kid go with a stranger anywhere that's why I wonder how you handle that. The responsibility of taking a young niece to a game would be mind boggling. Some lunatic could kidnap her or whatever. Maybe most families don't let the uncles take the nieces to games until she's bout 10.

Thanks for sharing. You sound like the kind of person I'd love to go to a game with. Totally upbeat! Great great story. I'd just send Brooks a copy of your Soxtalk post if I were you. That's cool you stayed for the fireworks and didn't stress about getting out of the park right away. Good to teach the kids to enjoy every minute of a game. And great story about Lexi and the Tshirt and homer. This is also a lesson in how much money you can spend at a game. You didn't even talk about food/drinks and you dropped a ton before even getting to your seats. How much did you 2 eat/drink during the game? Any update on the money there? Thanks for sharing. I can't imagine a better game for the 2 of you. Tons of home runs. Fireworks during the game and after the game and the great catch in right field. Had to be perfect, really.

He sucks at second as well. I think of Teahen as a step below Ross Gload. Or similar to Ross Gload. He's just not very good. Let him play twice a week against righties if we have to. I'm telling you though, if we are in the race, he could really be buzzkill. I do hope we can acquire a big stick soon from somewhere. what's happened to the Dunn talk?

I agree he appears to be a class guy. He seems really great in interviews. I wish him the best but he should be on a lousy team if he wants to be a regular. No offense, but he's also not a second baseman. He's really a bad infielder. He just doesn't bring much to the table on a contending baseball team. Trust me, he sucked in Kansas City and fans were so happy to see him go.

Lemme ask you a question. Why do you like him? And with our current lineup and set of contributors you want to immediately pencil him into the lineup? I think that is a VERY BAD idea. WHen he comes back if we are in the race, he should pinch hit and/or play once a week.

Nice to see us beating AL teams after sucking in KC. Would sure be nice to go six over .500 tomorrow. Great win tonight though. Most impressed with CQ. When he's hitting like this you tend to dream big.
