QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 10:48 AM) I'm happy Peavy's feeling good, and his numbers were encouraging. Let me be the first to predict today that if Jackson does bad tonight, he will get removed from the rotation and Peavy will start in his place on Wednesday. Wasn't the plan for him to start twice down there to make sure he was fine?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 10:34 AM) MDGonzales Mark Gonzales "All good buddy look forward 2 being back with the boys!" Peavy wrote in text message Oh great, there goes Jake running his mouth again.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 10:42 AM) Peavy causes a lot of fan-bipolar syndrome. One day, you hate him cause he's hurt again. A week later, you like him because you know he's good when he's healthy and he proves it. Two weeks later, you hate him because he'll probably be hurt again. It's a never ending cycle. That's actually a pretty good summary. Obviously his performance last night was encouraging, but until he pitches for an extended period of time without any semblance of an injury I'm always going to be worried about that. That being said, if he can stay healthy I do have faith in him significantly helping this ball club.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 03:44 PM) Farmer said during the game today that he had talked to Walker, and Walker said he is trying to break Gordo of exactly that hitch in his swing. I almost feel like he should be working on that down in Charlotte for a little while.

Omar should have hit for Beckham

Lilli better PH here

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 03:04 PM) I didn't say that. I liked the pick at the time. But what I like or don't like doesn't matter. This team can't produce a f***ing thing internally. It's pathetic. I can hindsight all I want. I don't get paid to scout, draft and develop major league talent. This team has no future whatsoever going forward. Save your '05 DVDs. That's all you're going to be able to hold on to until Ozzie, KW and hopefully JR are gone. That's a different argument altogether and you're absolutely right about it. But when you even say you liked the pick and when almost everyone, if not everyone, liked the pick at the time it is ridiculous to ridicule that pick 3 years later when viewing it in hindsight compared to other players.

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 03:04 PM) Haha you're right, I think Stoney or Hawk said "hold em' here" and I went with it. Hold stats are for tie games. Hold stats are when you come into the game in a save situation and leave with the lead in tact and the game not yet over.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 02:58 PM) That was nearly two years ago. When I see Andrew McCutchen, Mike Stanton, Buster Posey (before he got hurt), Logan Morrison, Gaby Sanchez and Eric Hosmer making their marks on this game, and Gordon Beckham doing his best '92 Steve Sax impersonation for a year and a half, yes, it was a bust of a pick. That is just beyond ridiculous that you are attempting to make this argument right now. Even for you.

QUOTE (ROC Sox Fan @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 03:00 PM) Gotta get Matt his "holds" to increase his trade value! Not a hold when you come in to a game with your team down

I think i've finally jumped on board with firing Ozzie.

I wish we could just bat Lexi/Q/PK over and over and just take "ghosties" on base when necessary.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 02:49 PM) Players drafted after Beckham: Smoak, Wallace, Weeks, Lawrie, Ike Davis. All are better prospects than Beckham, who's talent was greatly exaggerated. And I'm sure you were all over them saying that back in July of 2009 too.

We need someone to accidentally get a hold of one and hit a HR

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 02:43 PM) The Sox have fumbled every first round pick since 2000 (the jury is still out on Sale). That's bulls*** and you know it. You can argue that Beckham was rushed, mishandled whatever. But there was nothing wrong with that pick. Picking him was pretty much universally applauded. IIRC the only other real option was Smoak? I don't remember but there was nothing wrong with drafting Beckham where we did

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 02:39 PM) I've officially given up on GB ever becoming a star. I'll take league average 2B at this point. And that might be a stretch. Even when we get a top 10 pick we botch that. Oh GMAB there was nothing wrong with that pick.

The approach at the plate is just atrocious.

Dunn draws a walk, which in all honesty was probably the best case scenario

Nice inning for Buehrle

Sigh. I wonder what Lillibridge would have done today...

5 innings. 59 pitches. 0 runs. Nick Blackburn.

Make him throw some f***ing pitches. You're up 2-0 and it's not exactly like you're swinging the bat well

QUOTE (Capn12 @ Jun 16, 2011 -> 01:56 PM) GIDP GIDP GIDP GIDP GIDP Man I'm so tired of the GD GIDP's Which is of course followed by a base hit, which makes it all the more frustrating.
