Another nice defensive play by PK. Can Gavin act as a cutoff man on grounders to the left side?

QUOTE (kwolf68 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 01:32 AM) I wish Dye could have gotten on there so we didn't have the pitcher leading off next inning. Good stuff....after that bad inning, you sense a KC rally here.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 01:30 AM) I don't understand why Thome never just tries to make contact. Is that what all power hitters do? Do they never shorten the swing at all? He has to cheat to try and catch up to fastballs. That's why he misses so many offspeed pitches now, and something no one points out anymore is that he doesn't draw walks like he used to.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 02:26 AM) Konerko down to .203. Incensed he is that Swisher beat him to .200. Suck Patrol at it again tonight.

Does it seem to anyone else that AJ is more successful after a day off?

Floyd has a great sinker going so far. I wonder if he's sacrificing velocity for movement tonight.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 02:13 AM) Had Greinke on the verge of getting yanked, now having quick ABs. If Sox can't win with 6 runs...then we just aren't good.

That was a great swing by Ramirez...he just missed it.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 01:08 AM) Without a doubt Vaz. I have been beating the "underrated drum" for a while now, but IMO he is the first player on the "closest thing to an ace" list. With Quentin on the roster, along with Swisher(who will rebound), it's almost a no brainier right now. Here is a question. If Quentin could play an adequate CF, who would AZ rather have right now, Young or Quentin? CQ is a better player right now than Young. Young, for as much as I've praised over the years, really has some terrible at bats and would frustrate us.

QUOTE (29andPoplar @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 12:50 AM) Hey aren't you the guy who has a big huge flag for every other NL team ... and don't you hang it on your garage when said team plays the Cubs? That's you, right? I will buy that guy a beer a day if that's true! Couldn't he just leave the Pirates flag up every game, and be right about 33 pct of the time?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 01:06 AM) Crede needs to concentrate on his throws. The more time he has, the more he messes up the throw. When he has to react, he is fine. You played baseball...he's aiming those throws. He threw that ball on Olivo a lot harder.

Holy crap....can we do mass subs for 3b/ss/2b? Put Toby at 1b, PK at 3b, Ozuna at 2b, and Uribe at SS.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 02:01 AM) Sad part is you go from position to position, it's probably as good as we've been in a long time. Swisher in CF is the exception but I can only point to one or two instances where he hasn't made a play. Crede's about half the defensive player he used to be, and Dye continues to decline. It's amazing watching how hard Fukudome will charge a ball in RF to try and prevent the running game, and then you compare that to Dye's "jog".

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 12:59 AM) BTW, do you mean just player for player, or team need and ect? Who would you rather have on the Sox...so it includes everything.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 12:55 AM) Little late, but Javy. Do I need to expand on it? I gladly will I actually agree with you.

You have to be kidding me!!! Stop smiling OC, another bad defensive play by him that won't count as an error. That's why he's smiling.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 01:50 AM) WTF Alexei? It took a bad hop on the lip of the grass. Gavin's doing his best to let KC back into this game. His fastball is in the mid 80s so far.

And here we go...

Gavin should just worry about the hitter.

QUOTE (PlunketChris @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 01:46 AM) They just needed someone to call them out... I've called them out for 2 full years now!

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 01:45 AM) Wow, this is getting fun in a hurry... Question I want to ask you, and only you in this thread: Javy or Chris Young?

Holy cow....who is this team?

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 12:42 AM) was that considered a hit? Yes...I have no idea how.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 12:42 AM) just think, this is about the level of team the cubs have played like the entire month But Greinke's a stud pitcher though...it's not Les Lancaster or Jim Parque.

4-0! Good job OC!
