QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 09:00 PM) Wouldn't it be smarter to talk him up if we want him traded? Do you seriously think what Hawk says about a player during a game matters to anyone but himself?

QUOTE (Jimbo's Drinker @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 08:56 PM) Why do people keep saying OC will be traded? WHo will play SS?? Alexei, it's his true position.

*BIG SIGH OF RELIEF*

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 08:10 PM) Time for Floyd to limit the Twins rally here. 1 to go along with a triple and a double.

Carlos Quentin is now hitting .500/.667/1.500/2.167 with the bases loaded this season.

Carlos Quentin is a f***ING GOD!!

The Sox are hitting .303/.336/.616/.952 w/ 8 HR with the bases loaded this season.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 07:58 PM) Has anyone figured out yet why Alexei is still hitting so low in our batting order? Speed/competence at the bottom of the order as opposed to a black hole 6-9?

f***ing awesome hit by Josh, that's how you do.

Nick Swisher strikes out on more pitches off the plate than any player I've ever seen. It seems like half his K's this year have been on pitches 2-5 inches off the corner.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 07:54 PM) Why the heck did they trade for him then? They bought into the hype?

Great play right there by OC, he had not time to f*** around.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 07:50 PM) For all the Konerko apologists could you imagine if Manny or A-rod were putting up Konerko numbers this year? They would be roasted. A-Rod would be killed on his way out to third.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 07:46 PM) Just pull him from this game, as it's obvious he's not feeling good at the plate. Just terrible managing by Ozzie in putting PK right after Thome. He's made a hot Jim Thome effectively useless at the plate.

So does Konerko making contact in back to back ABs buy him another game at 1B?

Just saw on ESPNEWS that Buster Olney is reporting that the Sawx and Marlins are in serious discussions about a Manny Ramirez deal.

According to Cowley Oz has made his decision and he's sticking with Konerko in the lineup. He doesn't say for how long.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 03:37 PM) His ERA isn't bad, but he's sporting a 1.35 WHIP this season, so you have to wonder if he's been being bailed out by a couple other people in that pen. He's also inherited 5 runners this year and allowed 3 of them to score. Looks like he's been used mostly in low leverage, blowout situations and that's where he's allowing all his baserunners. He's been quite good in the high leverage situations he has pitched in even if they only make up 30% of his appearances.

QUOTE (Balance @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 03:34 PM) There is only one Pudge, and it ain't Rodriguez. (In my humble opinion) Fred Haney? He was the first to hold the nickname.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 30, 2008 -> 02:43 PM) I would love Roberts-Sherrill, but I don't like it. Sherrill is kind of icky. I don't think people realize he's 31 years old. He's also overvalued by the Orioles since he's been used primarily as a closer this year.
