Kotsay should really be batting for Vizquel here.

Wow, mechanical bulls*** swing by Beckham. Something I've noticed is that when he stands straight up right away, he has no chance at the plate. The longer he stays crouched, the better.

1-6-3 DP time??

Alexei couldn't have had better pitches to hit.

Whew, huge break!

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 03:06 AM) fathom mentioned this during game 2 of the World Series when Garner brought in Qualls to face Konerko - you don't bring a reliever into a game when he has no room for error whatsoever. It's going to take hella stones for Santos to get out of this mess. I did? If so, do you want to be my publicist?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:00 AM) Come on now Fathom, one player is not going to mean the difference between winning and losing...

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 01:57 AM) Didn't KW make mention that there would be PLENTY of DH options for us late in last offseason and also at the deadline? Seems to me there aren't too many options that won't cost us the farm... There was a certain radio personality that made it seem that it was ok to not worry about the DH, as it's very easy to find someone if you need to trade. My favorite was when people would call this person's radio show and tell them that midseason acquisitions rarely have a big impact...and this person was stumped.

We had won 6 straight I believe against pitchers we haven't faced.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:53 AM) REALLY sick of AJ. That was a terrible approach. Seems like this new stance is going to give him even less power than he's had. We have an NL #8 hitter batting 6th in the AL.

QUOTE (docsox24 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:51 AM) with the names being tossed about i think he will wait perfect

doc, do you think KW is trying to make a trade ASAP, or is he going to wait until mid/end of July?

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:43 AM) You've referred to this few times already, can you tell me exactly what said. He said after the game yesterday that he hopes they didn't have a letdown after the winning streak/Cubs series. As anyone that follows the Sox knows, whenever PK says stuff like this, the issue comes true.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:43 AM) And if he's not playing defense he's giving us nothing. I wish he went back to being in mgmt's doghouse

good job Ozzie!

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 01:41 AM) How exactly does one explain only 3 hits against this hot garbage that is pitching against us. It makes no sense. Cause our captain predicted the emotional letdown?

QUOTE (JohnCangelosi @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 02:40 AM) Omar has been nice for us defensively and filling in for Teahen but we need to do better in the 2 hole, we cannot expect him to keep putting up the numbers he has over the past 3-4 weeks. Andrew Jones needs to be DFA'd and we need to get an everyday DH and play Kotsay once a week and keep him as a PH. Completely agree, you can argue all you want about the NL helping us out, but KW needs to take advantage of the second chance this season and fix these issues now before things get crappy again.

Damn, thought for sure Rios hit that out. These 1-2-3 innings are s***ty tonight.

This would have been the perfect pitcher to have Viciedo face, as there's not a lot of tilt on his pitches. We're going to be begging to get Teahen back shortly, I have a feeling. Omar's bat seems to be dragging.

STOP BUNTING!

Let's get some runners on for Rios!

Hard to argue about a blown call tonight when KC could have put up a huge crooked number in the first if Guillen wasn't called out.

Beckham flying open way too much again.

I was hoping to never see that 0-1 Beckham swing again. It's amazing how consistently inconsistent he's been.
