QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 02:30 AM) So there is no reason not to have Scotty as our leadoff guy next year, right? You always have to worry about him keeping his legs healthy. If you go into next year with him in CF and Quentin in LF, you better have a good back-up

I think he's a great #3 hitter and could be a multiple time all-star if he moves to 2nd base

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:25 AM) i dont think he cares one way or another if they win...but yet he does come through in the clutch You mean just like how people used to say the same about Garland and even Konerko over the past few years?

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 02:23 AM) You can measure heart. Let me ask you this: Does Alfonso Soriano have heart? Most would say absolutely not, but he has as many clutch hits as anyone in baseball this year.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 02:21 AM) Im just sick of hearing it about it is all. 1 person said that this was the worst move of the KW era. Its time to move on. Well said, couldn't agree more. When you have the Nick Swisher's deal on your resume, this move is definitely no big deal.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 02:20 AM) When we give BA his walking papers, can we send Fields too? Hell, let's throw in Kyle McCulloch . We're getting closer to getting rid of the players that don't deserve to be on the big league roster. Fields, Wise, and Poreda are the three remaining guys.

Haha, another comical AB. This is why you don't have him face a hard throwing pitcher EVER!

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:18 AM) I'm fine with playing Getz vs lefties. Nix has been awesome against LHP this year.

QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:15 AM) I'd call that a Cal Ripken special -- no range, but a nice dive to stop the ball. Alexei simply doesn't move his feet well to his right. But he did a nice job getting the out. That was the type of play that if he misses it, we all would have been bashing him.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:10 AM) zobrist is a sox killer.... ugh As someone who missed the first few batters, I was sure it was 4-4 when I saw this post.

Nice play...PK barely scooped that.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:12 AM) If your marginal at your job and you have a s***ty attitude, your not going to stick around. I dont know why people cant seem to grasp that Anderson must have been a complete tool. Or I guess the alternative that Ozzie for no explainable reason dislikes BA and is sabotaging his own team just to kill Anderson's career. Im going to guess the former as opposed to the later. Or maybe stuff has happened off the field over the years with BA that Ozzie had an issue with?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:09 AM) Without Thome playing, wouldn't it have made a ton of sense to DH Quentin, put Pods in LF, and put BA in center? I mean, BA hits lefties well. Have you looked at BA's stats against LHP this year?

An absolutely beautiful swing!!

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 12:59 AM) Power? More homers than Upton so far.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 12:59 AM) oooh... Good call. How about Matt Kemp? Another person that's just a tool.

Hell, Jason Bartlett is more of a 5 tool player this year than Upton.

Nicely done by Alexei. It's amazing what not bunting can do.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:56 AM) His brother. Except he can't field for s***, as he drops more fly balls than anyone besides Soriano.

Pods blasted that one for a double. Do not bunt here!!

QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:52 AM) Is there a more complete 5 tool player in baseball than BJ Upton? Pujols (considering his steals)

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 12:50 AM) ughh i hate the top of their order.... This lineup is extremely impressive

Haha, Fields is just comical at the plate. Price looks to have found his release point.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 12:43 AM) yeah he seemed to just shut down beckham that AB no chance at all Gotta find a way to get his pitch count up so he can only go 5 innings.
