Wow, pretty good stuff from Jenks that inning. I hate the long ball!

Just once, it would be nice to see a pitch out.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2010 -> 03:15 AM) An inning has never set up so well for dominance as the top of the 8th does for Thornton. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Watching Omar bat against a LHP was painful there

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 4, 2010 -> 01:57 AM) I've been watching a lot of Stetson Allie vidoes and damn does that kid have stuff. At this point i'm pretty resigned to Brandon Workman though. I see his upside as a number #3 starter. He wouldn't look awful following Danks, Floyd, and Hudson in a rotation. Allie's videos look amazing. Bad feeling the Cubs will take him. I'd take Allie over any of the pitchers we're rumored to be interested in.

Wow CQ, way to go!!

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 4, 2010 -> 01:53 AM) Anybody know who won AL player of the month for May? I'm sure Rios didn't win it. Randy Ruiz

It's to the point I'd be shocked if we don't pick either Workman or Wojo.

Rios, you are so awesome! Just start doing that with RISP as well.

QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Jun 4, 2010 -> 02:40 AM) That has Wyatt Allen, Lance Broadway, and Kyle McCulloch written all over that. Deck is way better than those guys. Harvey seems like a lock for Arizona right now. Keep in mind that the guy on fanhouse yesterday seemed 100 percent sure the Sox wouldn't take McGuire.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 4, 2010 -> 01:32 AM) Getting swept by the Rangers isn't the worst thing in the world. Going into a series against the Indians with your entire fanbase having the attitude that they don't care what happens is even worse

Sox getting dominated right now by Lewis. It really seems like something is about to happen with personnel/coaching changes.

Ho hum, here comes the blowout. We suck so bad!

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 06:15 PM) Wasn't that Little Big League? Yes

More movement at the plate prior to the pitch is probably the last thing that Quentin needed.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 4, 2010 -> 01:05 AM) Even bad outfielders rarely drop fly balls. I wonder if anybody has kept a stat on that. The odds of that happening to CQ or any outfielder are probably over 100,000 to one. He dropped like 3 two seasons ago!

Haha Carlos

Ugh, just give up already and stop playing Vizquel and give Beckham as many at bats as you can! http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/...ckham-sits.html

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 4, 2010 -> 12:39 AM) Interesting that it's mental. Freddy has been great. I'm not sure it is mental. His fastball, even though it's in the 92-93 mph range, isn't a plus pitch. Thus, if his curve is not on, he doesn't have a prayer to get hitters out. He's been crushed this season on first pitch fastballs. His change-up, which was very effective 2 years ago when used sporadically, has not developed much over the course of his career.

Quentin with a very weird set-up at the plate...definitely trying something new.

I give Jim Joyce a ton of credit, as you can tell he feels awful about it. And the thing is, I'm not so sure it was the wrong call, as the ball definitely moved in Galarraga's glove.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 3, 2010 -> 03:03 AM) Okay you know what? I'm ready to see some young talent.... some kids. It's gotta be better than this. Bring em all up. Isn't going to happen with this manager. Look at the last batter of this game.

Mark Kotsay is batting for Gordon Beckham. Hey Ozzie, YOU SUCK!
