QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 01:19 AM) If I ever need a sharp grounder to the left side, BA's my guy. I hope he's wearing protection at the plate, cause he's f***ing himself over lately, and hard. He sucks. I think it's time us BA supporters realize that. He needs to go to a different team, and I HOPE Pods is our starting CF come June 10th.

He's a really, really bad hitter. Way to pull the outside slider BA.

Can AJP score off of Anderson's grounder to the left side?

QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 01:16 AM) Wonder what the excuse will be tonight...since we have seen Pavano b4. Well, we are missing our 2 best hitters.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 01:15 AM) So are you saying he's throwing 98-100? Yes, 97 mph. 3 fastballs to Sheffield, and he K'd him.

Mike MacDougal is in for the Nationals. He's throwing 3 mph harder than he ever did for the Sox. He looks really good.

Angels with a great chance to get the lead on the tigers in the 9th.

Hell of a job by Danks to keep us in this game. That could be a momentum starter.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 01:10 AM) it was a trot. you don't walk with a 4 foot stride. He trotted after it once Choo was halfway towards 3rd. Choo doesn't even attempt to go if Getz wasn't walking. To be honest, that was a hell of a hustle play by Choo.

Yeah, we dominated Jakabauskas!!

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 02:08 AM) getz straight up drops the feed from beckham starting the double play, it rolls away from him, and getz just calmly trots after the ball, meanwhile Choo hustles his ass into 3rd. pathetic. He didn't trot, he walked.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 02:07 AM) What happened? Well, one thing is for certain. Danks is throwing way too much pitches and he's lacking that strikeout pitch at this point in the season. Seems he's getting a lot more contact this year and his FB isn't quite as lively as in 2008. People don't miss high change-ups.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 02:07 AM) if you're not gonna hit, you field your position, if you don't do that, you sit the f*** down on the bench This team just continues to go through the motions. Hopefully we can get some runners on and have someone poke one out of the park.

Getz absolutely, positively should get benched for that. That would teach him to never do that again.

Wow, pull them off the field. Complete lack of hustle by Getz. Shameful, just f***ing shameful.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 01:03 AM) Where is that thread where half the folks here were saying Danks is twice the pitcher than Floyd is.. I think he's a better pitcher, but this is really concerning. You really have to wonder how much last year took out of him.

Danks is up in the zone with everything. He's significantly more lost than Floyd was at any point this season.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 01:00 AM) what a terrible atmosphere in which to bring up beckham... ick. Careful, you're going to get someone to say we should call up all of Birmingham.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 12:58 AM) for one pitch an at bat True, but no matter how bad he was doing, I guaranteed you'd at least think he'd hit the ball hard. The really depressing thing right now is that outside of Konerko, no one is hitting the ball hard.

What inning does the booing start? This is some really, really bad baseball.

Meanwhile, Ozzie sits in the dugout on his hands while this ump bends us over again. That pitch to Pods was a foot off the plate.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 12:56 AM) Me misses CQ. Totally agree...at least he was exciting to watch hit. At least Pods Looking is back.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 12:56 AM) And it's Greg Walker's job to fix the hitters' swings when they suck, is it not? We talk about hitting home runs and how we're nothing but a home run hitting team, yet we're not hitting them. Somebody's got to take the blame for that. I blame KW for a pretty poor roster. When you play at the Cell, you need power to win. Even when you have speed, you're going to need another hit to get that run in. We're not hitting homers and we're not getting that extra hit.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 12:52 AM) We suck. We could easily be sellers come next weekend. There is no momentum or swagger for the Sox.

Since when has Pods become Barry Bonds? Don't ever show up your pitchers like he has been doing.
