And there is the negative emotion that many scouts talked about when Gio feels he is getting squeezed or errors hurt him.

Gio getting a tight zone, very helpful for us.

Is CQ seeing the ball better or are they just pitchign around him?

I want to win the division so much for the fact that the Sox will be in the playoffs, but almost as bad because CQ really deserves the MVP.

Well Gio will not survive long if he gets behind every hitter. Just keep being patient.

OC, not a great at-bat, but he saw pitches.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Aug 17, 2008 -> 01:14 PM) Not to mention a great defensive outfielder. He actually called his shot in a game a few weeks ago. Good guy, good ballplayer. I am sure if he was in the Twins organization, he would have been called up by now and be hitting .315 playing GG defense.

Cubs come back and take the lead. Depressing.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 17, 2008 -> 01:54 PM) Griffey Jr. in CF today, no Swisher It's truly ridiculous that Brian Anderson hasn't got a start in almost a month. Even in the time he has batted off the bench, he has hit well. What is Ozzie's beef with BA? At this point, he is a better hitter, IMO, and clearly a better defender than Griffey. Just give the kid one start please.

Just be tied with the Twins after our Seattle series and I will feel very good. After that the Twinkles have the biggest road trip I have ever seen. But seriously, how pissed will people be if we go out and lay an egg against Seattle after Minny sweeps them?

Man I hate the Twins. They really never seem to lose to inferior opponents.

QUOTE (scenario @ Aug 17, 2008 -> 09:59 AM) Worth being aware of... Miguel Negron's batting average is now up to .296 and his OBP is .382 And he's walked 8 more times than he's struck out this year. Possible that this former 1st round draft pick could bump Jerry Owens off the minor league depth chart next year? They both play CF. They both lead off. They're both left handed. Negron has more power than Owens (who has basically none). Owens has 12 homeruns in 6 years. Negron has 7 already this year. And Negron is 1 1/2 years younger than Owens. He definitely improved his stock, but let's remember the sick numbers Owens put up in AA two years ago.

Sweet first game in school for me, I will be able to watch.

Alright. At least we won.

2 on, no out for the Twins. Young prolly gonna bunt them over and a sac will win it.

Mauer lead off walk. This is suprising.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 04:46 PM) Uh oh, everybody's whipping boy is up. Cmon Paulie just a hit. Well at least he hit it hard. Can't ask for much more than that.

s***. Twins have a great shot to win the game in the 9th with their big boys up.

Pinch run Anderson please.

Annoucer kiss of death. How soon till Thornton implodes after Mazzoni annoints the best lefty set-up man in baseball?

It wouldn't hurt Uribe to use the other half of the field. He pulls everything.

Where is Anderson? Please.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 04:25 PM) Putz...Morrow's in the minors You're kidding me? They put him in the minors with those numbers. Are they stretching him out or something? Then go Putz!

Come on Sean Green and then Brandon Morrow!! Get those pirahnas out.

QUOTE (WSoxMatt @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 04:22 PM) I agree and I know cuz I do ump HS ball, but the reaction by Lexi also tells me he went True he didn't put up a stink, but OC did on the other call. I would have liked to see a side angle on the Alexei check swing, but we didn't get it.
