fathom

Fields also with a great swing, but only had WTP.

Anderson with two fantastic swings, and nothing to show for it.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 27, 2009 -> 04:02 AM) This is true. IIRC, he hit a lot of choppers deep in the hole. Yep, he was definitely one of the MVPs of the ALCS for the Sox

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ May 27, 2009 -> 04:00 AM) How is Alexei never in the right spot at SS? Seems likes he's shading up the middle every time there is one in the hole. And now he's WAY in the hole and Vlad hits one right up the middle. We've always defended Vlad this way. Remember the 2005 ALCS? He must have hit 10 grounders to Uribe playing in the same spot.

Colon's getting nothing on the outside corner to righties, while Saunders is getting the outside corner to lefties.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 27, 2009 -> 03:56 AM) They were giddy when they got him. They thought he would light up lefthanders. The spring training injury I don't think ever healed. He should have had surgery. Ugh, don't get me started on that. Reports indicated this offseason that it never did heal.

Here comes trouble. Maybe we can try a pitch out once this decade?

Our power hitters will never see a fastball on a 3-2 pitch.

Damn, no luck for Thome in that AB. We're taking good swings, but nothing to show for it.

Wise played for Charlotte tonight, I believe.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 27, 2009 -> 03:41 AM) I wonder who they will call up with Quentin most likely DLed. I hope its not Lillibridge. There really is nothing at Charlotte that interests me in the least. They'll call up Wise in a few days.

Can we stop with the Fields crap please? Root for him to do good, as it will be a huge benefit for this organization to not have to move Beckham to 3rd base. However, every strike out doesn't mean he's done with, and every hit doesn't mean he's going to be an all star.

QUOTE (BearSox @ May 27, 2009 -> 03:35 AM) I missed Fields' single. Was it a broken bat, hang with'em for the pitcher, or was it an actual ball hit with some authority by Fields? Flare to left. I think that's Pods first called 3rd strike of the year.

QUOTE (santo=dorf @ May 27, 2009 -> 03:33 AM) You haven't noticed he's in an offensive free fall? Good thing we're platooning Getz.

Awful...I hate that we switched up the lineup after yesterday's explosion. We have Thursday off.

That's just an awful swing by Nix there. That was the one thing he couldn't do.

Pods is throwing with fantastic accuracy so far. I'm proud of him taking the opportunity and making the most of it.

QUOTE (PlunketChris @ May 27, 2009 -> 03:29 AM) Why isn't Nix an every day starter again? Cause he's not a good hitter?

Bartolo has no chance with this umpire. It's weird hearing the Sox brass be so down on a veteran like they are Colon. Hawk, Stone, and KW have ripped on Colon lately.

The Brewers have one quality starting pitcher. If they don't trade for another one (Peavy?), there's no way their pitching staff will hold up. The Tigers right now have got a very strong pitching staff, and they have a decent pitcher in Bonderman waiting in the wings. Oh, and if the Sox could play the Pirates 17 more times this season, I'd say they'd have a better chance at making a run. Also, the Cardinals are a much better candidate to win the NL Central than the Brewers. Have you seen the Brewers offense since Weeks went out? Hopefully Carpenter and Wainwright can stay healthy, and Ludwick/Ankiel return.

Anyone see final out in Cubs game? Mercy F. Sanchez, just throw it to first base.

Cubs lose!

QUOTE (Kenny Hates Prospects @ May 26, 2009 -> 03:29 AM) Ugh! Get Fields out of there now!!! I want Beckham called up for no reason!!! Beckham needs to become a FA as quick as possible!!!! For superstar prospects, I don't care about the arbitration clock. They'll be signed to a contract extension well before that becomes an issue.

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ May 26, 2009 -> 03:29 AM) you sound like jimbo's drinker....its not broken for sure. Though he looked like MR. burns. You could just tell by the way they were holding his hand.

Please explain the double by Fields.
