Pathetic AB by Pods. He's on pace for one of the worst games ever. This pitcher is making him look like an A ball player (what his tools state he should be).

He better not take a called 3rd.

Impressive swing by Anderson! Get the runner in Pods!!

QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:38 PM) Let's knock them out of the game right here! Lets get enough runs to have a comfortable lead before they pull him.

GREAT read by AJP on that liner.

How about one of those 3 run homers that Uribe started to hit prior to the ASB?

Yanks trail 10-4....that game's far from over though.

Lets keep adding on some more. Crede has that uppercut swing down now....good situation for him to be up.

Very nice AJP! We've had 9 guys reach so far, and only 6 outs have been made.

Here we go again. Gotta start getting these runs in. If there's one thing AJP has been good at lately, it's rolling over on the ball to the right side.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:28 PM) This rook has one pitch that he can throw for a strike. All that Mazzone is having him do, is pitch away from contact and go low and away. A few of our hitters last inning figure that out and didnt do too much with it. If its in, pull it. If its away hit it up the middle or oppo. Eventually this kid will miss location over the middle of the plate and get rocked. We just need our hitters to make better decisions than Pods did in the last inning. 2-0 with a pitcher that is all over the plate, and mighty mouse decides to swing. vomits Gload made it look so easy when he just served the low sinker to left field. QUOTE(stretchstretch @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:29 PM) congrats Minny and Detroit, with that inning we officially conceded the AL central and WC spot, not being able to get a sac fly or hit with men in easy position seems unending, and I think the mental rut this team is in may not be overcome this season, they simply expect to fail in those situations Wow

JimH....at what point does the organization try someone else in LF? The sad thing is that Mackowiak is a bigger threat on the bases than Pods has become.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:24 PM) Gload has more range than Kong at 1B, but Kong is much softer hands than Gload. Everyone on the team says Gload is this Gold Glove caliber 1st baseman, but I've yet to see it.

Our left side of the infield = overrated on defense. These guys can't throw with any velocity over to first base now.

QUOTE(Brian @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:22 PM) It's Bizzaro Pods. He is striking out looking and getting picked off since he came to the Sox. Fixed QUOTE(JimH @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:23 PM) I have seen some bad and dumb at bats in my life, but that decision by Podsednik to swing 2-0 in that situation is right at the top of the list. Really dumb. Well said! Even if you take a strike, you still don't have to worry about eventually striking out.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) Why is Pods on our team again. He doesnt do anything at all for this team. Because what jersey would all the fat girls wear to the games then?

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:20 PM) fish this team, I hope they lose out the rest of the year. Adios peeps. Corey is crying again. Wow...this is just a ridiculous post.

Well...we deserve to lose this game.

QUOTE(3E8 @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:19 PM) Put Gload in left Considering how bad Pods defense is, it's not a horrible idea. I still would like to see Mackowiak get more PT in LF.

You've got to be kidding me. 2-0 against a pitcher with bad control? Stick to being a bencher Pods.

Do some damage Pods...to the opposition, of course.

We have to get at least one of these runs in. This pitcher is TERRIBLE!

QUOTE(The Ginger Kid @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:10 PM) is it just me or has crede been popping out a TON lately? He looks dead tired at the plate and in the field.

Credepopsitup is definitely back

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jul 29, 2006 -> 09:08 PM) I am still trying to figure out how the rookie got out of the top half of this inning without getting destroyed. He had nothing but a medicore fastball. He threw a hanging curve for a strike, and managed to get out of it with only giving up one run. Jon on the other side, decided to forget that he is good when he throws strikes, but not high ones. Hopefully he will take off the ruby slippers for the rest of the game. Terrible base running. We've made more outs on the bases in the last month than we did all last year.
