QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 04:01 PM) I agree. I'm just saying that BA isn't like a "perfect" centerfielder, which he pretty much has to be as bad as he is at the plate. Pods is bad in left. There is no debating that. Pods caught looking once again.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 03:59 PM) BA has made quite a few mental mistakes in the field as well. Not recently, what have you done for me lately? BA is one of the best out in CF, it's pretty retarded to bench him right now especially when he's absolutely killing the ball like he is now.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 03:58 PM) Why. He's hitting the ball well. Especially against righties. And he's had a horrible game today. I really could care less about a couple singles he laces together if he's going to be making these sort of mental mistakes.

QUOTE(jphat007 @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 03:56 PM) Pods is hitting .350 in his last 50 ABs. He's heating up. No need to cool him down. He defense isn't good, but I'd rather have Pods and Mack and their great averages against righties. Defense won't be the best, but the bottom of that lineup would be much, much better. The defense could very well lose the game for us tomorrow if Mac and Pods are out there. Pods' performance today has earned him a day off tomorrow.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 03:55 PM) I think Brian has put several great swings on the ball today, just got unlucky. BA has been hitting the ball incredibly hard the past few days including today. Hopefully Mac is in LF tomorrow with Pods riding the pine pony.

AJ's the man.

QUOTE(southsideirish71 @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 03:46 PM) BTW Which Drunken always a cubs fan celebrity sang the Take me out to the ballgame. Andre Dawson

I have all the faith in the world in Brandon McCarthy.

Hard to tell if he touched it or not with all the dirt flying up around his hand.

Hawk also said that Podsednik took a pathetic route to that ball . . . per usual. If you're not going to get there then just cut the damn ball off and hold him to 2. The Cubs are so horrible.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 03:37 PM) No, but seriously I hate Pods. This Figgy rumor has to be true, I don't think I can watch another game with Podsednik in leftfield.

I HATE SCOTT PODSEDNIK.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 03:32 PM) I love Chone but this rumor is definitely b.s. No, I refuse to believe that. This is so f***ing perfect it just has to be true damnit.

GRRR, this caught looking crap is quite annoying. I still love JD though.

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 03:17 PM) I like this too. Switch hitter, but he's not that good of a hitter against LHP. Shouldn't cost too much, but does have some value, and he has playoff experience...I'd be cool with it. Great speed, great versatility are also nice. Only real negative is that he is basically another LH bat, because he cant s*** left-handed pitching for s***. Not gonna cost too much either, seeing as how Figgins is having a bad year. I think he'd be an ideal fit for the Sox simply because he could replace Podsednik right now and play 1000X better defense with an arm that's not even comparable. If the Sox could pull of a trade for him, it would really go a long way in solidifying this team for this year and the future. Plus in '04 Vs lefties he did hit .304 in 169 ABs, if he could find a way to tap into that s***, he'd be such an asset.

It's one thing to be inconsistent from game to game but to do it from inning to inning is just maddening.

This is just one of the many reasons why Jon Garland is so frustrating to watch, the inconsistency just insane.

Where has this tenacious Garland been the whole time?

This is how nightmare innings are started.

QUOTE(TitoMB345 @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 03:12 PM) Has Garland started a batter off without going 2-0 yet? Have you watched the last 4 innings?

QUOTE(Capn12 @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 03:11 PM) Meh, I'm one of the biggest Pods critics around, but I don't have an issue with that. He was trying to read and get a Lance Johnson type walking lead on Marshall..he read wrong, it happens. Hes done a pretty damn good job the last week or so with the bat and on the bases. If he only occasionally got picked off, it would not be a problem but it seems he's doing it about once a series now a days.

I f***ING hate Scott Podsednik. He does absolutely nothing well.

BA working the count nicely. BOOOO! That ball was kilt.

Garland = 85 pitches through 5 Marshall = 92 pitches through 5

QUOTE(StrangeSox @ Jun 30, 2006 -> 03:01 PM) Poorly, I would imagine. Horrid.
