Did anybody "hear" Oz's quote? Was he mad or laughing. I think it's funny. But basically he did say his team is s***. That's kind of funny or like somebody else said the marketing dept's nightmare. That's hilarious Oz also mentioned Wrigley being a big bar. Somebody should point out in the media articles what people on Soxtalk were saying about not going to the Dodger game because of the extra surcharge on tickets or whatever you guys were talking bout.

How hot was it at the game? Normal hot or HOT? THink of all the beer/soft drinks sold. ... Wow. Anybody pass out?

I respect what you are saying, but if every scout thinks this guy is a future stud and he's hit on all levels, then why the hell will he have to change his approach?? That makes little sense. I mean if he needs to change his approach, then are his past accomplishments a mirage?

Zambrano vs. Danks on TV Sunday. Nice. Hope Danks brings his good stuff and Jimmy T. goes with the pitch and hits a couple 3 run bombs into the leftcenterfield seats.

That would have been a huge bummer if that had happened. It was a blast off Beckham's bat and like Fathom said, the of had to be in a bit in case of a hard single. It would have been a crime to see some dope like Bradley rob Beckham of his first glory moment and cost us a game potentially.

Ozzie should have some good quotes after the game unless he wants to low-key it to make sure we're fired up Sunday. Pinch hitting for Beckham on Friday; seeing him come of age and beat the Cubs Saturday. He may have some glowing words for Beckham in the press.

Did Lexi play center in Cuba or somewhere? Why all the cf talk? I'd rather have him at second. I love that single he got to left late. That was clutch. He does deserve credit for that big hit.

Great game. Great win. Love Pods. Love the walk by Nix. Love the opposite field drive by Beckham and AJ going after him after the game. Love the inning of work by Bobby and work of the fans. Would be nice for a similar game Sunday. Go Sox!

Very true. Great win. We'd have bemoaned the errors had we lost. But we didn't. We won. Love the fact Nix didn't whiff and took the walk and Beckham showed great poise and guts and you got to love the fact he drilled it to the opposite field. It was funny how he was running away from AJ. I was thinking they were going to dogpile him. Great inning from Bobby. Great hit by Beckham to win it. Glad we finished it in nine. Extra innings mighta been tough. If Bob had to go another inning he might not be available Sunday. And if he didn't go the 10th, Liney might have gotten lit up. Victory is sweet. Go get drunk.

I think you guys were right about the crowd helping Bobby in the tie game situation.

Frickin A!! Bob really is a stud. Let's win it now or it may be Liney time. Great game, let's win one.

Nice pitch Bob; or did Lee go fishin?

Would be nice to grab the lead against this hack (today at least) Dempster.

Pods truly is a f***ing stud. Isn't he also married to a perfect 10? What a cool story he is this year. f***ing stud.

Hopefully he'll walk and steal second

That's probably right as well as the blind spot theory. McCarver said the play was right in front of Mark and that was an unusual mistake for a lefty. Brain cramp on a hot day I guess.

True, but I meant just flip it over to Paulie where he was standing.

Why didn't Mark just flip it over to Paulie when he saw he was about to commit a balk? His vision certainly saw Pauley over in the vicinity.

Bradley gets a chance to make the sports media fawn over him if he slugs a double here.

I can't believe Houston beat Detroit. What a good deal that is. The Royals are a mess again. My god. Meche gets raked once more. Olivo with big baserunning gaffe tonight and they flop at Pitt. Some sorry baseball in Kansas City again this year with KC 10 below .500.

I'm surprised Piniella held his temper and didn't punch him. I wonder how Oz would have handled Bradley. Lou said in the media he's looked the other way several times this season when Bradley has acted the same way and had enough. I like Lou; I like Oz. City has some good skippers.

Oz wasn't pleased with AJ's at bat today, though he doesn't seem as angry as the headline on this article: "White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen criticizes A.J. Pierzynski's at bat" From the Trib's excellent writer, Gonzalez: “Bad at-bat,” Guillen said about five hours after praising Pierzynski for his clutch hitting and catching all 13 innings of Thursday’s victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. “(Pierzynski came off) the bench. He might have been looking for a breaking ball, but the breaking ball wasn’t a strike, and it ended up the wrong way for us.” AJ's take: “I was looking for a pitch up, and he threw me a high curveball,” Pierzynski said. “He’s known for having a good breaking ball. I hit it hard and hit it right at the wrong guy. I hit it three feet to the left or three feet to the right, and we are shaking hands right now. “I hit it to him, and what can you do. Pinch-hitting is tough. Marshall has a good curveball and he threw it high. Look at the replay. It’s high, right down the middle. I hit it good. Sometimes stuff happens.” I agree. s*** happens. I was feeling good when AJ stepped to the plate. Just think how happy we'd be if he lined that pitch over the first baseman's head.

I'd give anything for us to have Granderson. I love that guy.

Corky ... another backup catcher that failed. Will our current backup be the backup we need?

I guess. I had hoped for better, but w/out last year's CQ in the lineup, it's still pretty weak on most nights even with Pods doing as well as he has. There are enough flaws we do appear a bit below average team. I can't see us going on a sustained run to put us 5-10 games over .500 at any point this year, but I could be mistaken.
