QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 11:25 PM) I think I say this same thing about the off-season every year right around this time, but it's going to be a very interesting one. Lots of money to play with, some prospects getting close to making the jump, and some players looking like they may be out of position. This could all change at the deadline, but it still should be interesting. I think Getz will be used as part of a trade during the offseason to open up second base.

AJP being a tough out.

Good job by Ozzie there

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 10:16 PM) It's almost getting comical. There has been like 12, 13 chances for him to dive to his right, and has come up empty every time. At some point, one just has to find his glove, right? I was thinking the same exact thing. You would hope that maybe someone just hits it at him once.

Hell of a start by Gavin!! Come on Thornton

Beckham has absolutely no range to his right. I'm not sure if he could have made that play, but I do know that he doesn't make any plays like that.

Wow, Inge missed that curve by a foot

Konerko and Dye are going to hurt their necks with how much they're pulling off the ball.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 11:08 PM) For Granderson? I'd put him in for Santiago, as Santiago has crushed Gavin this year.

Hopefully our offense hasn't shut it down like they have for the last week besides Wednesday's game. Thornton should be warming up when the 7th starts.

Alexei might want to stop swinging at 97 mph fastballs at his chin.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 11:00 PM) Disagree. If there was one thing that Mitchell actually polished in college, it was his ability to draw a walk and get on base. I really think Danks is going to be more of a defensive player in the majors and probably be a #8 hitter.

Every DP is an adventure, but that was a great pick by Konerko

That's not a good start to the inning. Getz has good range, but he does a very bad job at getting to his feet quickly after the dive.

Wouldn't Mitchell at #1 be the best possible scenario?

I don't expect Beckham to hit more than 20-25 homers in a year, but I think he can still be an effective #3 hitter if we try to go away from the long ball.

of course...stop trying to pull every f***ing pitch!

if he hits the ball, it's almost an automatic double play right now

let's add to the lead now!

Gavin having issues with his control. Looks like he lost command of his curve again.

Liner right at them...ugh!

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 25, 2009 -> 10:32 PM) I think we, Sox fans, have the obligation to come up with a clever nickname for Getz to go along with that of the "Bacon Slayer" Gordon Beckham. This nickname, of course, is to be used in conjunction with the awesome hit and run combo they seem to be forming. The wing man

I know he's putting up good numbers, but when is the last time Jermaine had an RBI on a ball hit to right?

I swear, I have never seen Jackson look good when he pitches. We have let him get away with some massive hangers.

good job Pods! How about a hit-and-run here?
