QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 30, 2010 -> 07:06 AM) Threets is not a prospect. He's a 28 year old left handed reliever who has bounced around the minors for a good amount of time now. Still, he's never been up with the Sox before and with his great minor league numbers perhaps a bit of an introduction is needed for those with less knowledge of the Sox minor league system.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 29, 2010 -> 09:28 PM) Let's finish the month with Randy Williams being sent down. What do you say? Don't we usually see a separate thread in the important topics section when a prospect is called up such as Threets ?

I don't know weather to be happy or sad with those stats. You're pointing out the Bacon has a chance to have a gang buster 2nd half, which is good. OTOH you're comparing him to Joe Crede which in and of itself is not a bad thing. Many of us were hoping he had a higher ceiling and every game he doesn't hit makes us wonder if he'll ever be even as good as Crede. God, I hate sophomore slumps.

Just goes to show what happens when closers can't get saves. Booby still gets saves and still gets a lot of grief.

This is aimed at Coolmanjoe. If the Sox do get Dunn you know Viceido will be part of the deal. That's why he's up here, to show he's ML ready . He can then replace Dunn at 1st for the Nats .

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 02:26 PM) I don't care how much he costs, I'd be willing to give up my left nut for a 3-4-5-6 of Rios, PK, Prince, and Quentin (if Quentin keeps hitting like he has a pair). Are the Brewers looking for a left nut ?

Thank you pitching staff for the great run. Thanks for the 2 out hitting and hitting with RISP. Thank you defense for being way above average. Thank you luck for being on our side for so long. And finally thanks for the 9th inning rally today to make things interesting even though many of the things that kept the streak going ended today. Please put an e in "deserve's " Mr. Mods.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 02:21 PM) My prediction is that in two weeks, we're going to be counting down to when Teahen returns. Maybe so if Omar stops hitting but at least his fielding is solid.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 10:44 AM) He's 43 and he plays baseball. We're not asking him to play rugby. Just think of all the guys out there wearing hardhats in the heat welding iron and working as laborers. I think Omar can handle catching a ball and swinging a bat 4 times a game. He's a special kind of player, and always has been. I think he can continue to compete at a reasonably competent level (especially defensively) on an every-day basis for the remainder of the year if we called upon him to do so. I'll give you that. In the summer I'm completely exhausted every day and have to go back out there and do it the next day . I do however get 2 days off per week and I'm way older than Omar. And I'm constantly on the move for 8 hrs. Omar can sit on the bench or might go several innings with no action at his position or no baserunning.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 02:06 PM) Amazing that he'd expand the zone like that when the f***ing guy couldn't get the ball over the plate. You almost NEVER see that. Even the Cubs announcers called that pitch a gift. I wonder what Hawk was saying .

That 2-0 call really did change that AB. Sucks if you have to swing at a pitch like that against Marmol. Might have pulled off the comeback if not for that.

Dayan with a walk . Nice.

Fear the Pierre !

Bacon mmmm !

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 01:42 PM) Dempster is the worst match-up of all the Cubs starters for our hitters, due to our lack of quality lefty hitters. AJ and Kotsay were muy malo today.

Sox are going to have to pull off a Twins/Philles rally.

It was nice knowing you Mr. Williams.

PK # 20 !!

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 12:59 PM) HE GAWN! You seem way too happy the Sox are losing . Is it better to be right for you then be wrong if the Sox can come back and win ?

Anyone else lose the sound on Comcast ?

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 12:44 PM) Game thread posters? Closer to 90%. I was being kind. Besides 50% + covers 90%.

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 12:40 PM) Those are the types that should not be allowed to root for anything. 3 weeks ago 50%+ of the game thread posters would have said the same thing.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 27, 2010 -> 12:36 PM) Ballgame, danks sucks today 1st to jump ship award.

QUOTE (beautox @ Jun 26, 2010 -> 07:14 PM) i just don't see anyone trading for Z, when the outright him, his relationship with ozzie will have him on the south side. Hey he can be the LH bat we're searching for !
