7/2--->Sox vs. Twinkies Game Thread
Screw another inning. Sox are going to win it this inning. Alomar hits a squibber between 3rd and short. Even if they field it, they would of had no chance. Tony G will be pinch hitting for Jose. Congrats Robbie on your first White Sox hit, now I want to congratulate you on your first White Sox run this inning

2 down with Tom still pitching. On the first pitch Mohr belted one down the line just foul (would of been a double) - Flash throws a changeup, could of been a curve and Jose makes the catch. Now to the bottom of the 10th, Sox just need a run eventually in the game. Lets get that run now

Here's Daubie Rips one to the first baseman. He's gone. Two outs and Crede is up. Come on Crede, basehit time.

Roped right up the middle for a single. Come on Sox, lets turn two.

Ya, trying to get things started. Everett bounces out, so the game heads to the ninth. I'm guessing Flash is coming in. Sox have a day off tomorrow so basically everyone in the pen is available. Now lets score some runs and win this ballgame

Come on Everett, two out rally. Be a good two out hitter.

O-E-O MAGGLIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well my theory is Hawk has always liked Ponson so he would be very pumped about bringing him in. I love having great pitching and moving Wright to the pen would really give the Sox depth as well as added insurance in case anyone goes down. If you think about it, Kris Benson is available as is Kip Wells. Could a Benson/Giles deal be close

Yes, Marte gets them in order in the top of the eighth. We have the middle of the lineup do up. Now lets get that lead back and SWEEP THE TWINKIES

Alomar's opinion
I think it was more of a thing for Everett and Alomar, but he will say he stuck up for his catcher. I thought he went a little nuts, but after that Crede homer, Manuel isn't willing to sit back and not question home runs calls. Now come on Sox, get a few more and win this game and get the SWEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope it is Ponson. WTF? I wouldn't deal Dunn, but that's just me. i dont think Ponson would be a bad pickup for the right price. He's on pace to win 20 and the Orioles are supposedly willing to take on salary (Konerko) if they get a prospect in return (Diaz/Ginter/Meaux) I'm not talking our best. Ponson throws innings, has a great arm, and is on pace to win 20. Too much pitching is a problem I'd love to have.

I hope it is Ponson. WTF? I wouldn't deal Dunn, but that's just me. Dunn is overrated at this point in his career, but will be very good. Seems like a dumb deal to me from the Reds side. If I were the Fish I'd let Caberra play 2nd with Lowell at 3rd and Dunn in the outfield. That would be damn good. Braden Looper, Castillo, Penny, and Derrick Lee are some of the guys available in Florida. I think the Sox are working on something. Could it be a Carlos Lee, Paul Konerko for Brian Lawrence and Ryan Klesko swap. I know I know...just a pipedream, but who the heck knows.

Don't have great range so they play them deeper to prevent extra base hits.

Another name to float out there is Kerry Lightenberg. At 32, the Orioles would probably be willing to part him for a younger reliever. See: Gary Glover. Not super likely that they'd do it, but you just don't know.

ZITO,ZITO!
Ya I heard that Hawk is hearing that another major deal is going to go down. I'm assuming this one is for a pitcher and no I don't think it will be any of the A's guys and if it is look for a Honel, Wing, Rauch, Borchard package and yes it would be worth every penny. But that part isn't happening. My guess is it is Sidney Ponson and he will be in the rotation by the start of the All Star Game. So maybe we get him and then another guy (Reliever or backup type player). I'd guess that it is Carlos Lee going. Also rumor is the Reds are going to deal Dunn and a pitcher for Penny and Luis Castillo.

Darn it, another blooper.

What did everyone think of Everett's range on that one? Looked fine to me. Hunter gets it, but I doubt any of our other guys get that, maybe Willie cause he's got such great range. Come on Damaso

Damn it, little blooper. This game is tied. Come on Sox, end the inning, and come right back and retake the lead.

Alomar's opinion
Well, I think thats Manuel sticking up for his catcher Sandy. I've liked the latter Manuel. He doesn't seem to go off always, but he picks his spots more or less.

Everett...
One thing I've immediately noticed about Everett is he's a first pitch swinger. He also seems to crush the inside pitches. Oh ya, he has a very good eye too. I also saw him joking around in the dugout and he had a huge grin.
