Sweet, Getz swinging at a fastball over his head. He just missed that.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 07:21 PM) I just saw the score. What the hell is Colon throwing out their? Batting Practice? Honestly, yes. His fastball has no movement. A lot of the Cleveland outs were made on bullets also.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 08:19 PM) 2007 had a laughably weak farm system, at least now we have real prospects in the system so it doesn't look like we'll be screwed for the next 5 years. Agreed, in many ways, the Sox going into the s***ter over the next month and a half wouldn't be the worst thing for this organization. Anything but a false sense of competitiveness.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 07:17 PM) What kind of excuses will we hear from Ozzie after this game? Shutout #10. #4 in the last 6 games. David "Cy" Huff and his 9.77 ERA absolutely OWNING us (obviously, we ALL knew it was coming). It's all Bacon's fault

Colon should just retire...this is the worst performance I've seen in a long time.

I feel so bad for our fans this year. Treated to just a pathetic effort at home all season.

Wow, this is just amazing. Like I said, DL him and tell his fat ass to throw over 90 mph or he'll stay on the DL.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 07:14 PM) I'm f***ing sick of Bartolo Colon. We better skip his start against the Cubs in 2 weeks.

This is really a special out by Colon. Every other batter seems to be crushing the ball off of him. I can't believe Stoney said we have more power than the Indians do. Has he seen our pathetic roster this year?

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 07:45 PM) Getz reminds me of a young David Eckstein. I'll take a guy like that any day, even off the bench as a fourth infielder. Granted, he's no lock to be Eck Jr., but he's had a very limited number of ML at-bats. You can have your Eckstein...I'll go for an actual talented hitter.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 07:11 PM) Time for my new favorite team the rest of the year to be whoever is playing the Cubs. It will be an interesting feeling not being too upset if we lose to Milwaukee next week (assuming the Tigers series goes badly).

Are the Sox like 1 for last 40 with RISP?

Can no one turn on that s***ty inside fastball and hit it hard to left?

Do you think Greg Walker can be fired during the game? If we get shut out today, there's no way a change can't be made.

Randy Wells has just amazing command right now.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 07:59 PM) Next year, let's do what every other f***ing team in baseball seems to be doing, let's bring in 2 rookie starting pitchers that nobody else has seen before That wouldn't work, as our players always SUCK when they come up from the minors.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 07:58 PM) But when will he do anything about it. Walker is still here and this offensive s*** show has been here for the last three years, but nothing is ever done. It's Ozzie's call with regards to the coaches. As we all know, that means nothing will happen because we now have the ghost of Ozzie Guillen on the bench. The real Ozzie Guillen must have left a few years ago, because this one is a p****.

Nice catch by Anderson out there. I wish I could bat against Colon today.

BTW, Corky Miller is a significantly better game caller than Castro.

I'm so happy we're playing 5 vs Detroit. I'm sick of this playing bad baseball but no ramifications in the standings. Either pick it up or start making plans for 2010. This team deserves to be 10 games out with their hitting this season.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 07:51 PM) Beckham is listed at 6' but he looks tiny. Yep, need to get him on a big boy diet.

Ugh, he needs to stop swinging at so many pitches.

Danks will not be promoted this year, unless Pods gets hurt. Pods will be our everyday starting CF for the rest of this season.

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 07:46 PM) I wonder if Oz has given any thought to Alexei to CF and Beckham SS.... NOPE

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 7, 2009 -> 07:45 PM) After Contreras gets dominated tomorrow, can Poreda please be called up and Colon and his fat ass be sent packing? Trade him to Atlanta
