QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 03:45 PM) Thats another thing, all the comments in the game thread about how dumb Ozzie is without ever knowing that he sat Brian for most of the game because he has been suffering from the flu. or the fact that lefties are significantly better against Cahill than righties?

Some of you guys are idiots: CENTER FIELD!

He'd be getting Pence for the next 4 years...I don't think KW's going to give up on our young prospects for a one-year rental.

What if instead of going after a pitcher, KW is trying to acquire a dynamic young outfielder, and will go after Pence with a package of Poreda, Flowers, etc?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:24 PM) I don't see the racism there, I just see Joe Morgan showing he is far and away the worst, least well-informed announcer in baseball. Again. It's a long running joke about how he will give superlatives to any African-American player. He even said Sheffield was the best clubhouse man in baseball a few years ago.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 03:49 AM) Cubs are off, Sox are winning. Who cares? Still like to see the NL Central contenders play well, and I hate seeing Dusty have no "luck" with young pitchers.

My ideal lineup is Pods Alexei Dye Thome Konerko AJP Quentin Beckham Getz Yes, I think Pods stays in CF over Anderson right now.

His swing is broke..don't let that last week fool you. His time with the Sox is coming to a close.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:49 AM) .467 is one of those well-rounded, limited at-bats numbers. he's doing great yes, but he'll increase that

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:48 AM) It's really sick how good Beckham should be. I'm trying to temper expectations, but the f***er is hitting .467 in AAA. It's like he's playing high school ball. 90 percent contract rate in the minors this year. That's ungodly. I think most of the people who didn't want him up this season are beginning to see that he's just a special talent that is clearly better than what we have right now at 3b.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:45 AM) We have a lot of balance right now and everyone is doing their jobs. The stretch where Pods struggles, we'll struggle. It's obvious Pods will be in center when Quentin comes back. As much as I love CQ, I don't really miss his first pitch outs though. BTW, Beckham was 3-4 with double tonight.

Giants are in contention for Wild Card...they're not going to trade anyone for a while. That team desperately needs a power hitting 1B.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:43 AM) Pods has not done well with the bases loaded as a White Sox. Tell that to Andy Pettitte.

It's crazy how often I forget we're missing Quentin in this lineup. Last year down the stretch, we probably mentioned it every inning.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:40 AM) It was a joke, bro. You know there's people out there that think that way.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:39 AM) I missed the 7th and top of the 8th, did Anderson PH for Wise against Breslow? yes

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:39 AM) Jayson has a good eye, good understanding of the strike zone, but one has to wonder if his limited playing time and playing in front of a packed house may have him over thinking a bit tonight Or how about this...he sees the ball a lot better against LHP than RHP?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:38 AM) HEY OZZIE BRIAN ANDERSON IS OUR BEST CENTERFIELDER I KNOW WE'RE WINNING BUT I'M STILL PISSED DEWAYNE WISE WAS IN THE STARTING LINEUP TONIGHT. you racist. Josh Fields played over Wilson Betemit when he couldn't hit anything....that was enough to end any questions about Ozzie's favoritism.

Does the BP pitcher during warm-ups throw it past Fields with regularity?

Wow...the Slayer era is coming, and coming soon.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:34 AM) As washed up as he is, Thome has the best HR rate in the AL since he became a White Sox. Bring him back next year, yes or no? I'd honestly rather have Dye back as our DH.

Let me ask this...who do people think is a better hitter in the majors right now, Slayer or Fields? As much as I want Fields to be our 3rd baseman for the next 5 years, it really seems like it is Beckham. His 3 hit game against Bonderman is extremely promising.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:28 AM) I sort of feel like the guys in Major League. "These guys might not be that bad...." Isn't it crazy though? Two weeks ago, most on here would have been waiting for the Sox to lose this game. Today, even when it was 2-1, it seemed like we had a good chance of winning. Lets get another run and save Jenks.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:27 AM) Not only has Thome lost his power, he just cannot hit in the clutch. It's amazing, as he easily has nearly all of our clutch homers late in the game since last September. With that said, I still stand by my statement that he wasn't clutch prior to the walkoff against Anaheim.

Jairo Garcia and Wilson Betemit in the same game? That's a High Heat 2003 player's dream.
