Oh boy, Peavy just blew out his elbow!!

Hunter on drugs? Quite a strange series for him so far.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 7, 2010 -> 02:12 AM) Yep, but he hasn't been nearly the defensive liability some feared he would be thus far. agreed, and that's definitely a play you learn as you get experience.

I can't see James doing this unless he stays in Cleveland.

That's a play that Viciedo needs to make...needs to learn how to throw it over to first without winding up.

Very nice swing by Rios on the sac fly. Thought it was gone off the bat, ball's not jumping like last night.

Nice steal by Pierre, but I don't know what Alexei was doing that AB. Took fastballs down the plate and he was adjusting way too much in the box.

Can he DH for the Sox?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:03 PM) I don't think he's a lost cause for the rest of the season. I actually think we need him. Do you want Lilly and Omar out there at second, and heaven forbid, Teahen? At this point, yes. I'm the biggest Beckham fan on this planet outside of his family and his wife Victoria, but he's been a complete disaster this season.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:58 PM) Why do you want him set down so much? I don't understand why that is the cure all? Have him sit a while and hopefully the competitive juices will take over. Then maybe he'll start hitting. Personally, I want him sent down to see if he can show if he even knows how to hit anymore. I'm not scared of him going down there and sucking, as right now, he's a total bust and a lost cause for this season. Something needs to be done to get him on the right track for the next few years. Josh Fields and Caruso never recovered, and I'm scared that Beckham is next in line.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:58 PM) Boozer would give the Bulls a low post threat, but fathom I remember how much you roasted him in that playoff series against the Lakers. That's what you'll have to put up with him against bigger guys. I hate Boozer's game with a passion. Adding him to the Bulls, along with Redick would be spending a lot of money for a team with a ceiling around 5th place in the Eastern Conference.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:58 PM) At this point I'm tempted to tell all three of them to go f*** themselves and just sign Boozer and Reddick and save the rest of the damn money for a possible trade later on. 3 Duke starters....yay!

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:55 PM) If Miami can get Haywood in a sign and trade, and still have the assets to get Bosh along with keeping Wade, I consider them the favourites b/w them and Chicago. I don't even think Haywood would make Bosh/Wade change their mind either way. It's pretty simple...if Raptors decide to do the sign-and-trade with Miami for the Beasley, Chalmers, package, then Carlos Boozer will be the Bulls main FA acquisition.

Bosh not going to Cleveland is very bad news for the Bulls, IMO

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:51 PM) This guy has it right. I'm not saying the Sox are right with this, as I agree that no one would really care about Andruw Jones. However, based on stuff I heard in the offseason, as well as what Hawk was saying earlier in this year, I'm confident that the organization thinks Jones reaching 400 is an important milestone. Just wait, when he hits 399, he'll be playing every home game.

RicFucher is a better name

Nothing like making it easy for the opposition's manager by having 2 of your 3 lefties hitting back-to-back.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:39 PM) Let's hope Rios will be in the lineup and hitting third with Quentin scratched. I trust Kotsay more than Rios right now. Rios seems to be behind in the count 0-2 every AB.

Quentin's out, Rios is playing. Might not be too bad to see a huge thunderstorm, as this is a dreadful lineup. I can't believe the idiots that were calling up the postgame last night saying our offense is fine now.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:28 PM) Not sure if he's saying his knee is scratched or if he's scratched from the lineup because of his knee. Probably hurt it on his first inning play. We need him in the lineup!!

B.J. Upton is so overrated!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 10:03 PM) I don't think anyone in the league would take him, to be honest. I disagree, I think an NL team like the Phillies, Giants, Reds, Dodgers, or Cardinals would.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 09:37 PM) Major league 4 just may happen. If and when they do it, they are pretty much pretending like 3 never happened, and they are hoping to bring back the main core. Really?

Any play made in the first 4 innings yesterday was sensational, as that sun was BRUTAL!

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 6, 2010 -> 07:34 PM) In all fairness... the guy probably would have some decent numbers if he had gotten more playing time and more at bats. If he were the everyday starter, his line would probably look a lot different. Maybe he'd be better served by getting DFAd and latching on to a team not in the race that can afford to give him more playing time... like the Orioles or the Pirates or Indians. or Newark
