Wow, Garko should get his ACLs checked after that one.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't care about a home run call. It's a home run for your team, who cares what the announcer says! What I do hate is the premature stretch by Hawk.

Ozzie needs to manage wisely against the Tigers next week. You can't play Fields against the likes of Verlander and Jackson, as he won't hit their fastball. However, he needs to be in the lineup against Dontrelle.

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 09:04 PM) Well, Beckham is now gonna ride the bench in favor if Getz/Nix at 2B. f***ing AWESOME! No he won't. KW will make sure of it. Be happy for Fields.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 10:04 PM) heh way to reverse jinx it.....gordon who? You know we've talked about it...Fields getting it going would be great, as Beckham really should be our 2nd baseman of the future.

FIELDS! He blasted that.

If not for the 2nd base umpire, we'd be scoreless again today. Just pathetic at bats by the Sox hitters.

Alexei just can't get the barrel on anything now.

Sowers is just a terrible, terrible pitcher. Anderson got a great pitch to hit, but once again, tried too hard to pull the ball.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 08:36 PM) This is frustrating. If I root for Fields to do well, it's like I am rooting against Beckham. But if I root against Fields, it's like I am rooting against the Sox. There's going to be an opening at 2nd base. Getz's OPS is on its way to below .600

Getz just shouldn't be playing today. I can't believe he wasn't benched after yesterday.

Ugh, Francisco with a great leaping catch on a deep fly by Nix. Nix hit it 395 feet.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 09:32 PM) I hear AR made areal good defensive play Yep, nice play to get Hafner at home on a dribbler past Floyd. 1-1 going into bottom of 2nd.

What do you know, Gavin can't pitch over a bad defensive play.

Why would you ever throw him a fastball after how bad he looks on offspeed pitches? Keep up the awful work AJP

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 08:26 PM) Don't question Doug. Seriously..that should be a bannable offense.

His footwork at SS is just miserable.

I had no idea 6 of the 9 shutouts were at home, and in only 27 games. AJP showing why he has no business starting today.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 09:14 PM) Now is this because of the ownership, or is KW just cheap? Just want to play it close to slot and take some signable guys.

Out

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 09:12 PM) We blew the leadoff double yesterday... And Thursday...and Monday

McCarver wrong on his first observation of the game. Nice, quick top of the 1st.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 09:04 PM) Totally disagree. Anderson has had more than a few stretches where he's had his swing in a good place. He then winds up benched for 2 weeks. Fields has, to my eyes, shown marked improvement over the last couple weeks. Ditto Getz, for that matter. Anderson's been in the majors for parts of 5 seasons. His swing is still well below average. Both Anderson and Fields have huge power, and we're just not seeing it. 3 homers combined this year in about 75 games.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 08:55 PM) honestly, i think it would have been interesting to see Anderson come up with any other manager besides guillen. someone who showed a little confidence in him and didn't f*** around with his at bats all the time. i just hope to god he doesn't ruin Beckham like this. I'd be more interested in seeing Fields and Anderson come up with a different hitting coach, as obviously this particular hitting coach has not been able to get through to them.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 07:46 PM) our division being terrible does NOT make Ozzie a good manager. I am livid right now. I want Ozzie gone, want Walker gone, I want the whole goddamned team blown up. It will be interesting if we struggle for the next few weeks and have to go into selling mode. We have so many youngsters on the way, and Ozzie is not the manager you want in a rebuilding situation.
