QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 01:45 AM) You could see Ozzie felt bad about yanking Thornton there, but at the same time he may need him again. Yep, especially against this Indians team.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 01:45 AM) It will be interesting to see if he uses Beckham or Nix at SS tomorrow. Playing Beckham with Fields at 3B would work, but I think they will go with Jayson, for fear of upsetting the confidence Beckham has growing more comfortable by the day at third. Might be Getz at 2nd, Nix at SS, Beckham at 3b, Fields at 1b, and Konerko at DH

Wow, that's kinda crappy to not let Thornton get the save. Oh well, better to rest him a little.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 01:39 AM) id rathers see beckham at SS and Nix at 3rd than the other way around in this situation...if theres one thing i am really frustrated at right now its the organizations lack of willingness to look at Beckham in the middle IF and Alexei in CF I think we have to live with the fact it's never going to happen. Ozzie reitereated that the other day.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 01:37 AM) We add Q and we are gonna be real competitive. That is assuming Q returns to his form of last year or early this year, but there is no doubt he is better than Anderson/Wise (since that is ultimately who he replaces in the everyday lineup). What do you suggest the lineup be? I'm almost tempted to say you bat CQ 7th.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 02:35 AM) If anyone would have said we'd be competitive still with Anderson/Wise in CF, Gordon Beckham being forced to come up from the minors and Carlos Quentin on the shelf for much of the first half, I would have probably said they were insane/crazy/pathological. That and some clutch performances recently from our entire staff, and better than expected results from Richard and Contreras, this season is starting to get a little interesting. I was with you until then. Richard and Contreras only have like 5 quality starts combined this season. It's like as soon as Contreras returned, Richard started to fade off.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 02:29 AM) Any Sox fan watching this game should feel so good about the future. You mean Wise is the CF of our future?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 01:28 AM) You're like 0-10 tonight. Hey, I got Carroll being Gavin's last batter correct (sure, Michael Jackson could have called that one).

Hell of a swing by Getz there. Keep Thornton in for the 9th.

I'll take it. Getz should bunt here.

Really could use another insurance run here.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 01:21 AM) Where'd Dye get hit? Top of the right hand

Love this umpire giving Perez no respect

Hawk and Stone...that was not a breaking ball.

I never did like this fat f*** when he was on the Cardinals. Hopefully Dye's ok.

Uh oh, Alexei HBP in the helmet.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 01:13 AM) why can't we hit carl pavano? He had ridiculous sink on his pitches tonight. I thought we got lucky to score 2 runs.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 01:11 AM) Awesome job, Gavin! ERA down to 4.12. Would it be a stretch to predict Gavin's ERA ends up better than Buehrle's?

Efficient

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 02:09 AM) What do they shoot off to clear out the Lake Erie mosquitoes? Old Municipal Stadium, right on the lake, used to be horrible for bugs/insects. Copies of Major Leage III: Back to the Minors

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 01:08 AM) 2007 was totally worth it. Haha..well said.

Hell of an outing by Gavin. 8 straight quality starts.

Beckham with a peculiar play. That should be it for Gavin.

Last batter of the game here for Gavin.

QUOTE (kev211 @ Jun 30, 2009 -> 02:03 AM) Do they shoot fireworks off after scoreless innings or something? It seems like they keep shooting them off after the sox bat. Yes, it's to keep the birds off the field.
