Nice job by Alexei of hitting the sac fly.

Pods K's on a pitch over his head.

Wise with the anti-AJP double there. No bunting here!

0-3 with RISP. This just isn't a very good bottom of the order today.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jul 5, 2009 -> 06:34 PM) What are all your impressions of Jeff Cox? Absolutely terrible

3 hard hit outs for the Sox so far today. Hell of a play by Callaspo.

QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Jul 5, 2009 -> 06:31 PM) I know we always just guess that Harold is too quiet over there....but i want a screamer coaching 1st base next yr I was going to type that. Seems like there's been a lot of miscommunication on the bases this year.

Is it written into Lilly's contract that he only pitches at Wrigley when the wind blows in? Also, Bill Welke already blew a call to give the Cubs an out. He's their version of Doug Eddings.

QUOTE (soxfan3530 @ Jul 5, 2009 -> 06:02 PM) How can Madden justify putting Ben Zobrist in over JD??? Peter Gammons said Zobrist is his AL MVP for the first half.

Haha, Granderson made it over Jermaine. Looks like Buehrle is only Sox player.

Buehrle made it

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 5, 2009 -> 02:37 AM) How cheap would Freddie Sanchez from Pittsbugh be? Getz and Hudson? Gross...I wouldn't give up our top pitching prospect for an overpaid 2nd baseman.

If we signed Orlando Hudson, we wouldn't have Jared Mitchell coming into our organization. Also, Hudson has cooled off in a huge way since his hot start.

Oh, and I really don't want to see Bedard included in rumors with the Sox. I don't trust he's healthy.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 08:47 PM) Garland? For the money, I would rather keep Richard in the rotation and find another bat to come off of the bench. or just give Poreda a chance in the rotation.

Halladay's deal doesn't make sense for where this organization is at. Considering the astronomical deal he'll get after next year, I'd rather pass.

QUOTE (High Mileage @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 09:05 PM) I thought there was more to it. Lame. There was a post by someone who had heard Beckham slayed a lot of "ladies" while at Georgia. Thus, the development of a nickname.

BTW, it's great to actually be this disappointed when the team loses a game. For a while in May, it seemed like losses were too easy to handle.

Just got home and read the game thread. Our double play combo has been a disgrace all season. Between that and our base running, Jeff Cox has taken over Greg Walker as the worst coach on our staff. Also, why do we keep playing Castro against RHP? Ozzie sure seemed to go with a Sunday lineup here.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 02:57 AM) The Dodgers offense just transforms with Manny in the lineup. What was their record without Manny by the way? Anyway, it's them and then everybody else in that wack ass league. 30-22, I believe

Excellent, the first two games have been a prime example of one team playing well while the other team is struggling.

This is a save situation, isn't it?

I'd like to say that Nix throws the ball probably 25 pct harder on the double play relay than Alexei does.

Timely double plays so far this series!

QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 4, 2009 -> 03:33 AM) Linebrink's control is just not there. Agreed, even when he's been getting guys out lately, it's after 4 or 5 pitches.
