Pods with even one ball hit remotely well this weekend. He is done, finished, washed up, etc. Trotting him out to the field is the most embarrassing thing to happen during KW's tenure.

it seems like we just played out this game knowing we had already lost.
That's happened way too often this year. Just seems like there's no focus from the get-go. It's even more apparent when looking at the starts we're getting off to in games. I wonder how many innings we've led this year compared to innings we've trailed.

Lillibridge isn't stellar in CF.
Outside of one nice play vs Toronto, I would say his defense has been disappointing. At least Nix looks like, at worst, a strong defensive back-up.

Alexei with 2 hits tonight including that double.
I really would like to see him bat 2nd. Maybe it will get him more fastballs as well as make him focus on hitting it the opposite way.

I am in the midst of a a family party looked at he score and the first thing I thought of is the Rangers starters who suck have shut the Sox out for all three games almostas bad as Toronto last year.
Sorry time to can Greg walker.
Against Texas starting pitching, we didn't have a single base hit to score a run all series. There was the Alexei sac fly, and then Thome's hit against Holland.

Reinsdorf said they were boring last year, so he cut payroll, raised prices and brought in Brent Lillibridge.
Only Sox fans would think that hitting home runs is boring.

Before Fridays game, Ozzie wanted to have Pods lead off. Ozzie thinks its 2005 still.
Ozzie's inability to get our best bats into the lineup on a daily basis is killing this offense. Besides for Alexei, no one is really struggling among the regulars. It's just that the lineup is constructed so poorly.

Nix needs to be our starting 2B.. f***.
Screw that...we have Getz there. Put Nix at SS, and then move Alexei to CF. Sadly, I feel like Ozzie will come up with any excuse to get Pods into the lineup now.
