The Josh Fields hate on this board is sickening sometimes. Jesus. Part of me feels bad cause I love Fields, and still love the man's potential in the bigs. They've changed his swing since college, but I still think it was for the better, and he has shown flashes this year, especially in spring training. I still believe his future is bright, just a matter of if it's here or not.

Alright i'll continue to watch the game. I'm outs b****es.

QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 06:09 PM) This was NOT on Jenks!!! A good LF makes the first catch... he gets a shattered bat single... and then makes one bad pitch on a bad pitch selection. Lets get um in the 10th and put Jenks back in for the save! I agree. Jenks threw very well today. Had some ball luck and a borderline bad pitch selection. I don't think he should be left off the hook now as he did blow a save, and that fastball shoulda been high on Granderson since Curtis likes the high fastballs.

Jenks was bringing it a 97 on Granderson.. just was a bad pitch. I can understand AJ's thinking though. I'm sure he thought Granderson was looking for a curveball so he tried to fool him. He guessed wrong. I don't think Coop shoulda got Bobby thinking like a true pitcher personally. I've said that for two years now.

Extra innings... at least.

Polanco up... he's even more dangerous.

Granderson... wow.

Pods is not the same basestealer in 05 Ozzie!!!

I love Mark Grace. Finally Jenks gets the strike... 4.

Jenks in for the 4 out save.

QUOTE (Jimmywins1 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 04:59 PM) I think Mitchell would be a great #9 hitter, Danks seems to have more OBP potential to me. Danks is the same as Beckham in terms of power. If Danks actually realizes his potential... watch out. I don't think he ever will personally, but he might be a very good 5 hole hitter or so. He could be a left handed Matt Kemp if every damn thing goes right.

Q is just not the same guy this year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 04:45 PM) Long term I still want Beckham as a #3 hitter. Right now, I still like Alexei in the 2 hole. If Beckham develops how fathom believes he will, he will be a stud, XBH, 25+ homer 3 hole hitter. If Beckham develops to how I believe he will, he will be a stud, gap to gap, disciplined, 2 hole hitter.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 04:36 PM) Well Danks turned down a simlar deal to what Floyd accepted. Meh.. that was to buy out their arb. years. Quentin also did the same thing and turned it down. Hell when Floyd was struggling ealry, alot of posters here thought that deal looked brutal cause of one good year.

3-2 Good Guys.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 04:16 PM) The Sox won't deal Floyd. They'd deal Danks before Floyd because Gavin is actually signed and cost controled. I actually think it's vice versa as Danks, IMO, they are higher on, and who has more upside. Not to mention he and his brother both fired Boras so I doubt he'll be a problem to sign long term.

QUOTE (BlackBetsy @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 08:47 AM) Here are the worst titles I could come up with, which makes them good blog titles Birminghamming it Up Re(a)d Baron Hoover Metro Section Double A Plus Southern Exposure Iron City Lumber JPNese Birmingham Is Not the Capital All Your Prospect Belong to Us I love these. They are unique, kinda corny, but is at least different. It's not simple which I'm not a fan of.

Albert Pujols has legitimate protection behind him in the lineup.. scary. QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 09:04 PM) lol, early returns, but Holliday 3-4 tonight with a 2b, r and RBI He finished 4-5.

QUOTE (CSF @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 09:05 PM) Daniel Black with the GW HR for Kanny. QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jul 24, 2009 -> 09:14 PM) SoxAce will be happy. Heavy D!! :headbang Still crazy to see him get drafted, yet alone in the sox organization. It's also nice to see Phegley hit a homer (yet a hit) as he's really been struggling. I don't think he's used to struggling like this before, though he's still getting used to a wooden bat. Mitchell.... so far so good.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 12:08 PM) Their staff blows. I doubt Porcello is ready, Verlander is forever overrated, Jackson had a 1.51 WHIP last year and his ERA will probably approach 5. The only one I like somewhat is Galarraga.

God Verlander is a stud. Steve, I can't believe you said he sucked and you wouldn't want him on your team.

This game stinks.

Getz looks overmatched against Verlander.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 11:55 PM) I would be fine with the Brandon Allen trade I think if Dotel is flipped for a seriously nice prospect Ditto.
