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

Goodness, we f***ing suck right now. Danks is just terrible now. Fix him Cooper!

QUOTE (Reddy @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 12:43 AM) danks is literally falling - straight up tumbling - off the mound these days Yep, and just about everything is up in the zone. Indians are going to hit a few homers with the way the ball is jumping.

6 balls in a row, all started by the ball call on the pitch down the cock.

Um, that first pitch to Garko was literally right down the plate for a ball.

Another leadoff hit goes to waste. This is so boring.

It seems like Wise is way too far off the plate, and can't hook anything.

How about a hit-and-run try here?

Anderson has the near DP ball down to a science. He's jamming himself on every freaking swing.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ Jun 6, 2009 -> 12:31 AM) It's even fun to watch Beckham hustle into the dugout after the inning; Unlike those awful men Fields and Betimit. Want to know the two players who showed the least hustle yesterday getting into the dugout? It was Nix and Pods, so that's not a very good thing to judge.

Hate seeing a bad person do good, as Zambrano dominating tonight and also hit a homer.

Ugh, this offense absolutely sucks now. Thome should never, ever hit 3rd.

How did Thome miss some of those pitches? Our hitting with RISP has completely imploded.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 20, 2009 -> 05:52 AM) Rice tends to produce a lot of pitchers, correct? What's their track record like with positional talent? I'm pretty sure Berkman and Paul Janish went there.

I'll be stunned if Cubs don't sweep the Reds this weekend. Reds are awfully banged up, and Cubs are facing some horrendous pitching.

Williams is the Sox pick again in BA's Mock Draft III

But..but..but...2005! You know, Ozzieball! It's not speed this team has been lacking, it's OBP guys outside of the middle of the order.

Sweet, Wise gets to face another LHP tomorrow.

QUOTE (almagest @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 09:21 PM) I also wonder if it's the scouting contributing to this inability to hit pitchers they've never seen before, or if it's a player mindset, like "we can't win in the Metrodome"? I was going to make the comparison between hitting guys we've never seen before and winning in Minnesota. Both have become mental issues it seems.

Josh Fields homered in his first game, IIRC. How did that pan out?

Greg Walker is not very good at his job. 8 shutouts, with a handful of them coming at the Cell, is pathetic this early in the season. We've been quick to can people this year who aren't performing, and he should be next.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 05:59 PM) Can anybody going to the game confirm what his walk up music is? It was "Your Love" by The Outfield while in B'ham. Yes, same music today

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 04:29 AM) 10 million in 2010 and 8.5 in 2011 for Pierre? I don't see that happening. Dodgers would obviously have to pay some of his contract.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 05:27 AM) So how big of a disappointment was Betemit? Turns out I was dead wrong about one thing; he really can't field at all. Awful...that Swisher trade is quite the debacle. Like I said, our scouting was way off on Betemit.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 4, 2009 -> 05:26 AM) Ya it is very interesting. Depends really how Allen develops as a 1B. If they are gonna work with Fields at 1B, then Konerko can move to the DH spot (or vise versa with Fields) Josh is certain athletic enough. Then you got Allen who could be either a 1B for a long time, or the DH maybe to start him off before Konerko hits FA, or DH for a long time. I'm tired of hearing about Holliday as well, unless the sox think they can put him at RF (they are NOT moving Quentin to RF, that's obvious as they coulda done that this year when JD went down instead of trotting Pods out there) or if he hires a new agent. (isn't Boras his agent?) Ya, Holliday isn't coming here. He's with Boras and wants to go to the Yanks, Mets, or Boston
