Mazzaro didn't throw a strike to anyone that inning. Nix swing after 6 straight balls is ridiculous.

I miss Getz in to face righties. Getz is out for the rest of this series.

Kalapse, you don't like Pods? To be honest, the only one I know hates him is Capn.

This is the perfect umpire for Colon. No excuse for him to not have a good start.

PK really struggling it seems lately. This pitcher had nothing that inning, we should have at least tied it up.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jun 3, 2009 -> 01:22 AM) yea go cubs dude Randy Wells does have a no-hitter after 5!

Jeez, he's such a pathetic base runner.

Alexei should get a day off soon. Just like PK, their swings look a little long right now and they've played a lot of games in a row it seems.

It would be nice of Randy Wells to stop putting up an ERA in the 1's.

I really wish we didn't plan on bringing up Contreras for the Detroit DH game. Let Carrasco start.

1-0 A's already.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 03:45 PM) Thats another thing, all the comments in the game thread about how dumb Ozzie is without ever knowing that he sat Brian for most of the game because he has been suffering from the flu. or the fact that lefties are significantly better against Cahill than righties?

Some of you guys are idiots: CENTER FIELD!

He'd be getting Pence for the next 4 years...I don't think KW's going to give up on our young prospects for a one-year rental.

What if instead of going after a pitcher, KW is trying to acquire a dynamic young outfielder, and will go after Pence with a package of Poreda, Flowers, etc?

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:24 PM) I don't see the racism there, I just see Joe Morgan showing he is far and away the worst, least well-informed announcer in baseball. Again. It's a long running joke about how he will give superlatives to any African-American player. He even said Sheffield was the best clubhouse man in baseball a few years ago.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 03:49 AM) Cubs are off, Sox are winning. Who cares? Still like to see the NL Central contenders play well, and I hate seeing Dusty have no "luck" with young pitchers.

My ideal lineup is Pods Alexei Dye Thome Konerko AJP Quentin Beckham Getz Yes, I think Pods stays in CF over Anderson right now.

His swing is broke..don't let that last week fool you. His time with the Sox is coming to a close.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:49 AM) .467 is one of those well-rounded, limited at-bats numbers. he's doing great yes, but he'll increase that

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:48 AM) It's really sick how good Beckham should be. I'm trying to temper expectations, but the f***er is hitting .467 in AAA. It's like he's playing high school ball. 90 percent contract rate in the minors this year. That's ungodly. I think most of the people who didn't want him up this season are beginning to see that he's just a special talent that is clearly better than what we have right now at 3b.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:45 AM) We have a lot of balance right now and everyone is doing their jobs. The stretch where Pods struggles, we'll struggle. It's obvious Pods will be in center when Quentin comes back. As much as I love CQ, I don't really miss his first pitch outs though. BTW, Beckham was 3-4 with double tonight.

Giants are in contention for Wild Card...they're not going to trade anyone for a while. That team desperately needs a power hitting 1B.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 2, 2009 -> 02:43 AM) Pods has not done well with the bases loaded as a White Sox. Tell that to Andy Pettitte.

It's crazy how often I forget we're missing Quentin in this lineup. Last year down the stretch, we probably mentioned it every inning.
