QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 06:03 PM) Quentin isn't playing. I understand that, as he could use a nice two day break. I assume it's just a day off, and not an injury?

QUOTE (quickman @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 05:17 AM) Actually the solution to the hitting woes is coming to town in the form of KC. Thats when things will turn around. They will get there bats going at that time and then the confidence will carry to the next series. We are in first place by 2 games and we have not hit yet. we will come home and things will warm up. Except the first game will be tough against Greinke. Until Lethal Weapon 3 gets going, this offense is in a lot of trouble.

Griffey Jr. sucks now, and the Reds have no use for a first baseman with Votto already there.

I don't usually watch this EliteXC stuff, but if Gus Johnson's doing it, I'll watch!

Sox haven't come back to win a game this year when trailing after 7 innings.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 01:54 AM) Whoever thought the sign commercials was a good idea must of been drinking for those presentations. Those commercials are HORRIBLE!

Nice line drive swing....Anderson could have driven that to right center, but tries to pull it instead. FIRE GREG WALKER!

Ozzie just playing right into Tampa's plans...much like last night.

Ugh, he just missed that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 12:51 AM) Even if it works, swapping out our hottest hitter for an ice cold one for matchup sake is just ugly to me. Miller's been dominant against lefty hitters this year.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 31, 2008 -> 11:29 PM) Seriously though, have you guys looked at some of the numbers being put up by the pitchers in the AL this year? There are 9 guys right now with ERA's below 3. (Just in the starters) Are home run numbers down? You have to wonder if this will be the trend in a new era of baseball.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 12:29 AM) That might be a lot to ask for our offense to overcome, 1 run is a great day these days, 2 runs is a superstar effort with the entire offense clicking. It's getting tiring hoping for this offense to finally catch a spark. They have to start scoring 5 runs a game for this team to consistently win. I'll say it again....fire Greg Walker!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 12:25 AM) Crede tagged that ball Did he really? Yahoo didn't even say it was a deep fly out.

Well on our way to another single digit 4 game road series.

QUOTE (Frankensteiner @ Jun 1, 2008 -> 12:05 AM) Crappy play by Quentin. What happened?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 31, 2008 -> 11:58 PM) 51 pitches for Kazmir through 3. They may not be hitting him but so far they're at least making him work. Yawn...this offense is so boring.

That is true, we're not seeing 10 broken bats a week for him. I still think he need to get closer to the plate.

QUOTE (Nokona @ May 31, 2008 -> 08:56 PM) HIS POWER NUMBERS ARE DOWN BECAUSE HE CANT HIT THE BALL. STEROIDS /= PITCH RECOGNITION he's all over the place with his bat speed He leads the Sox in warning track fly outs. The Swisher I remember from his Oakland days could hit it out to every different direction.

Awkward moment between Buck and McCarver. They were talking about Mariah Carey's first pitch, and McCarver goes "great boots"! He mumbled it a little, and sounded like he said boobs. Buck was quiet for about a minute.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 31, 2008 -> 08:51 PM) I agree its a good hitting conference. Weeks is freaking good. He's going to go in the teens to twenties in the draft and make a team quite happy. I'm going to be happy next year when the Sox probably have a few more 1st/2nd round picks (it will go a long way to restocking the system). The key this year will be for the Sox to get the best value on the board throughout the draft (and that means going above slot, which they won't do, but they should plan on it, especially given the absolute crap in the current farm system). Weeks reminds me of Ray Durham.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 31, 2008 -> 09:50 PM) Is it raining by you today? What is with the 500 word posts? This is like the third one. He's watching the Miami freshman and pondering how we can get a top pick in the 2010 draft.

As of yesterday, the Rays are leaning towards taking T. Beckham.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 31, 2008 -> 09:40 PM) The stud Freshman Hernandez pitches past this double. God this guy is good. Great command for a freshman. No kidding, amazing numbers for a freshman in such a good hitting conference.

QUOTE (29andPoplar @ May 31, 2008 -> 08:40 PM) Cabrera SS Ramirez 2B Quentin LF Dye RF Konerko DH Crede 3B Hall C Anderson CF Swisher 1B Good lineup!

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 31, 2008 -> 09:38 PM) I think with Uribe back and Ramirez hitting better, you will see Ramirez play CF again. Agreed
