Gray is a hitting machine. If I recall he's undersize. I've noticed he has played a few games at 2nd as well. So a switch could happen if they decide he's too short for 3rd. The guy is a pretty polished hitter though.

Magglio grounds out to the 3rd baseman, stranding runners on 2nd and 3rd. Still a prodcutive inning as the small ball pays off. 4-0 Sox after four.

Lee rips a single into left field (Really hard hit). Frank crushes the first pitch and its down the left field line and goes off the top of the fence. Carlos can only get to 3rd and Thomas is on 2nd.

Alomar hits it into foul territory in left field. Outfielder makes a really good play but Crede is able to score, so the SMALL BALL WORKS 4-0 SOX in the bottom of the 4th. Carlos is behind in the count 0-2 with 2 outs.

Ya, it was last year that his son died just before the game and it was cancelled. Didn't know his wife died. Its really sad.

Ya, I'm listening to them too but on Extra Innings. - Alomar does a great job with a sac bunt down the first base line moving Crede to 3rd. Now lets knock him in and let this small ball pay off effecitvely. Tigers announcers mention possibility of a squeeze play (They obviously don't know how slow Crede is).

Crede leads off by ripping a double down the left field line (Landed right around the warning track).

Buehrle strikes out Pena to end the inning. 3-0 entering the bottom of the 4th.

Did u guys know Buehrle was cut from his baseball team his freshman and sophmore years?

Top of the 4th Bloop single puts runners on the corners with two outs and Carlos Pena at the plate. Go get em Buehrle

Hey I'm referring to Maldanado. I just go by the name I recognize.

Damn straight.

Jose Pops Up to the catcher.

Everett walks (Think it was intentional; wasn't paying attention) and Konerko ripes a single in between short and second (On shortstop side) and it gets through to score a run. Everett on third, Konerko on 1st. 3-0 with 2 outs in the 3rd.

Maggs rips a single up the middle and Alomar scores. Sanchez (CF) makes a horrible throw and Maggs advances to 2nd. 2-0 Sox with 2 outs in the 3rd.

and thomas flies out.

Whoops, my bad. Everytime I see Carlos I think Candy for some reason.

Oh I agree, its why I want to trade one of those guys.

From what the Sox have the lineup looks fine from my point of view.

Everett was banged up last year, but this year he's playing very well and has always been one of the more talented players in the majors. Most of the guys in the deal aren't that great in my mind. I still can't say whether the Sox won or lost this deal simply because the trade isn't finalized. Plus, if the Sox get two first rounders out of it plus get Everetts services for a few months for free, then they are definately doing just fine.

I just remember Hawk or DJ mentioning that the number has been worn by two different players lately (Ray and Jimenez and now Everett).

I'd say Carl Everett has a better shot than Frank at winning the award. At this point last season Everett was hitting under .200. Loaiza has to be on pace to win the award.

Gabe Alvarez Named SL Hitter of the Week By Jason Gage July 18, 2003 FutureSox.com For the third week in a row a member of the Barons was named hitter of the week. Two weeks ago Jeremy Reed won the award, and last week catcher Carlos Maldanado won it. This week Gabe Alvarez earned the honor. This is the first time that one team has earned three straight player of the week awards. Alvarez, who plays both first and third base for the Barons, hit .319 with 12 RBI and six runs scored. During that span he had five extra base hits, three of which were homeruns. Alvarez, once a top prospect of the Tigers and Padres, was signed as a free agent in 2003. He was originally drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 2nd round of the 1995 amateur draft. He played parts of three seasons with the Padres and Tigers. With the Barons, Alvarez is second on the team with a .316 AVG. He has 10 HR, and 52 RBI. These numbers earned Alvarez a slot in the Southern League All Star Game.

He looked like a real good athlete when I saw him play in spring training. I remember b*tching to Mario when they brought him in and I was complaining about how useless it was playing a guy like him whose never going to play in the majors again. I was hoping to see Borchard play the whole game or see someone like Harris or someone else in the game over Sanders. Then the two games i saw him play he ripped the ball and played good defense. I wish him the best of luck and if he decides to keep playing (I'm assuming he is still holding onto his dream) then I hope he gets another offer and can find lightening in a bottle and make it back up.

Anthony Sanders Released By Jason Gage July 18, 2003 FutureSox.com Outfielder Anthony Sanders was released by the Charlotte Knights on Friday. Sanders, 29, was hitting .229 with 10 homers and 40 RBI. Sanders has played parts of three seasons in the majors with the Seattle Mariners (2) and Toronto Blue Jays (1). In his thirteen major league games Sanders had 6 hits in twenty five at bats. Sanders was originally drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the seventh round of the 1992 amateur draft. He hit a career high 26 homers in 1997 for Knoxville (AA). The White Sox signed Sanders in the middle of last season and sent him to Charlotte. Last season with the Knights he hit .232 with 6 HR, and 24 RBI. He spent the first half of the 2002 season with Louisville (AAA). Sanders was invited to spring training with the Sox this season.
