Wow, because it was interracial. I didn't think twice about it, than again, i'm dating someone that isn't my own race.

QUOTE (That funky motion @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 08:23 PM) I agree with you that BA will only be a 4th OF and his swing sucks. But the only manager that would keep Wise over BA is Ozzie. I don't necessarily disagree with that, but the point is, if BA was hands down, head and shoulders better he'd still be on the roster. The reality is he really didn't play much better than Wise over the past two seasons in Chicago so its his own damn fault, not Ozzies for why he isn't on the roster.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 08:18 PM) Does he still have any of the stuff he had with us or has he legit lost stuff? The curve ball and the low 90's fastball? A curve and low 90's to upper 80's fastball isn't that good when you don't have great command. Plus his change-up never ended up being good enough to allow him to effectively get righties out. Thats why I think he'll make a good reliever in time. Key word being, in time.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 08:08 PM) He is so bad. And I actually thought he could be decent, but man, he is just awful. He's a lot like JP Howell. I look for him to eventually get cut and make it on another squad as a reliever.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 08:12 PM) We can officially declare ourselves "buyers" from this point until the 31st. This is purely speculation on my part. But I think Kenny's got something mammoth in store. Next 10 days will be very entertaining to say the least. Carlos Torres start was pushed back a day. I'm thinking we might see him make a start if Richard struggles (with Richard or Poreda headed back to Charlotte temporarily to make roster space for Colon's short start).

Pods made a defensive blunder or two but had a great game at the plate. Gavin was darn good, Paulie with the HR, Beck's getting on a couple times, Jenks making it interesting...Thorty with the stud cleanup for Liney!!! 1 game out....YESSSS

Gavin picks up his 8th win too!!!

Wow, doesn't get more entertaining than that...LOL.

Were going to see a 1-0 get me over.

Ouch...and its Barlett who scares the hell outta me. Good compact swing. Please big bad Bobby Jenks...please!!

Everyone in the world knows it'll be another fastball.

3-0.

Bobby looked great when he was ahead but now has fallen behind on 3 straight guys. First two got on...hopefully this guy gets out.

That was terrible POds. How the f*** was that not an out. He must have been playing ridiculously deep.

Good, keep em close but just get this darn out.

Come on Bobby. End this s*** right here!!!

I really think Jenks could be a stellar starter, assuming his arm could handle starting. He's got a wide arsenal of pitches and great movement.

One more out Bobby. I say all heaters.

Change-up...balla

Went with the high heater, now its time for the hook. Throw a solid one and its an out.

I say a high heater, but it'll be the hook i'm sure. He throws the same one he did last time and its two gawn.

WOWZA's...that is un-hittable.

LOL @ AJ who thought that was strike 3. That was a meatball there, we got lucky.

This is huge Bobby. Get this done and were a game out and have nice momentum going into game 2 of the 4 game set. Plus Gavin deserves a W and so do the Sox who have completely out played Tampa thus far.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 07:48 PM) I can't believe we're 3 outs away from being 1 game out. Lets do this!!!
