Is it me, or does this umpire have the biggest strike zone ever?

Way too many first pitch swings against someone who has nothing on the mound.

Beckham with a rocket double.

Sox are hitting the ball hard tonight, but the ball isn't jumping at all.

Stoney's absolutely right. Contreras gets hammered by righties when he drops down too much. Sowers is going to give up runs, we have to limit the damage here.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 07:23 PM) The 05 threads are quite entertaining to read when you consider how good that team was and how many people thought we needed some drastic changes to compete. You and I really didn't get along then, did we?

QUOTE (klaus kinski @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 04:15 PM) Really-its fun watching again-the enthusiasm and unpredictability of young budding stars I love it It's crazy, I was actually upset that they called the game last night, as we missed out on seeing Beckham bat again. A month ago, I would have been begging the umps to call the game. The second half of 2007 was saved by watching Fields play on a regular basis, as funny as that seems.

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 04:36 AM) Why wouldn't we come back with pretty much the same lineup save AJ? Facing another lefty tomorrow. Thome's been huge against Sowers in the past.

It will be interesting to see how Ozzie handles the lineup tomorrow. Castro will be playing, and Thome/Fields will likely be in lineup. Maybe Konerko will get the day off.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 04:26 AM) Yeah...but really, the Cliff Lee of this year and last year is not nearly the same as the Cliff Lee who almost got sent to the minor leagues or cut. And the player that the Indians were 24 hours away from trading to Arizona for Carlos Quentin.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 01:51 AM) Baseball's been treating you pretty good these last 3-4 days, hasn't it? No...Cubs won yesterday. In all honesty, Saturday's game was one of the best baseball experiences of my life. My favorite player beating my hated team.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 01:47 AM) Let's get these two guys in. Nothing like double penetration

Yeah, that Pujols guy is pretty good

Sox hitters have hit the ball extremely hard tonight.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 01:44 AM) I think he was joking. yes

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 01:42 AM) I wonder what Quentin and Thome were discussing.... How much they hate playing for Ozzie.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 02:37 AM) Clayton again with the middle inning implosion. I'll give him a break on that inning due to the circumstances.

Yikes...Sizemore is now a big out in this game for a lot of reasons.

Is that picture of Beckham and his dad?

It's important to not let Indians get a few runs here, as umps would be a lot more likely to call a 9-1 game than a 9-5 game.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 01:30 AM) Ryan Braun Bunted with the bases loaded? Double, throw home dropped by catcher, throw by Santana to get Braun at third went into left field.

Ryan Braun with a Little League grand slam off of Santana.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 02:27 AM) oh man... ?

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jul 1, 2009 -> 02:26 AM) imagine this team if getz/becks/fields all catch fire... why oh why can't lexi move to center? not really asking because i know it's been debated ad nauseum... just musing to myself. Because soon enough, CQ is back and Pods is in CF. Also, there's going to be certain pitchers you don't want to make Fields and/or Getz face.

I keep going to Fans Edge at Woodfield hoping they get some Beckham attire.
