QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 11:05 PM) Nice play Becks. Even that play was weird, as he could have just made the easy force at 3rd. He's pretty good coming in on plays, which is more proof he should be at SS.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 11:03 PM) Royce Clayton and Jose Valentin Clayton was 10 times the defensive player that Alexei is.

I totally forgot that Thornton pitched yesterday. More proof that he only seems to pitch in games we're losing now. UGH!

Just another personnel decision the organization screwed up this offseason.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 11:59 PM) Not this year. By the end of the year, he'll have 30 homers and be hitting around .270

QUOTE (bobryansson @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 10:58 PM) You gotta get the runner BREAKING back to 3rd before you go to first. Worst thing then, if your not able to get the guy at first, is you now have a force at home. A play I would do every time I could is fake the throw to first. You will get the runner every single time.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 10:57 PM) Alexei really is Alfonso Soriano. He screws up all the routine plays. Except for Alfonso is still a productive offensive player, despite being an idiot.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 11:56 PM) So what good does looking him back do, if you know, you don't actually get him back? Not only that, but he should have looked him back and then went for the force out at second. This is the worst defensive game by the Sox infield in my life time.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 11:55 PM) wonder if he's going to be benched this inning He absolutely should not be starting tomorrow. Ozzie can't make statements to the media like he did and then get made to look like a fool.

Great, that coke snorting prostitute loving alcoholic scores.

QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 10:53 PM) I do not wanna lose to the cubs again today... Ozzie's managing this like it's a game in May against the Mariners.

Is it me, or did Konerko flat out miss that liner?

Of course...you can't throw him an inside fastball there. Again, where is Matt Thornton?

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 10:49 PM) Man what a terrible play again... wonder if Oz will just keep letting Alexei make these bonehead plays or will he move him or bench his ass for a game. or why not just admit the SS move isn't working, and put him at 2nd base?

Fukudome will be bunting here. Hopefully we don't see another error by an infielder.

Seriously, where is Thornton? Why are we using our 6th best reliever in a tie game in the 8th?

Ah crap, here we go again. Alexei, enjoy your seat on the bench.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 10:44 PM) For who? Nix or Beckham to 2nd, Fields to 3rd. Getz will see his OPS fall below .600 pretty soon if he doesn't start coming around.

Ugh, Getz is really begging to get benched. He's swinging and missing way too much.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 27, 2009 -> 11:40 PM) Poreda is up. Ugh..I forgot Thornton is a mop-up reliever now. Let Carrasco go to the mound and get them to ph Fontenot, and we can bring in the lefty.

PK isn't picking up the pitches at all today.

Way to draw the walk! No DP PK.

Should be Thornton in the 8th.

Good results for Carrasco that inning.

Carrasco is up in the zone with everything.
