More weirdness happening with AJ involved with that Konerko hit.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 04:24 PM) Simply put, you don't bunt. Not in the 1st I agree, but I was deferring to Ozzie's way of thinking.

Time to prove your worth Junior.

Weird hit .

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 04:22 PM) I honestly would like to see Griffey in the 2nd spot. Not me another slow guy. If Ozzie wants a guy who can bunt use Alexei .At least if he fails the way AJ did you still have speed on 1st base.

I just don't get why Ramirez isn't near the top of the lineup instead of 7th or 8th.

WTF I knew Aj was still in the 2 hole for his bunting. Now we have his slow ass at 1st. WTF is the sense of the lefty hitting AJ bunting against a righty in the friggin' 1st inning ?

QUOTE (kjshoe04 @ Sep 5, 2008 -> 04:13 PM) I like it. The whole time though I really thought he was going to hit his hand with the bat or something. Ha good one. But as you saw it's more of an optimistic way to look at things.

Good inning MB ! Now lets have a 5 run 1st !

I love this commercial. I don't know if it's shown in Chicago or not but if you watch it keep it in mind for the Sox playoff drive without CQ . http://forbetterlife.org/be-inspired/tv.asp?id=3204

I actually laughed when reading this quote from Guillen when he was talking about Josh Fields . ''Unfortunately for him, his manager believes in defense. Defense is a big part of baseball, and people don't realize that. ''If you play good defense, your pitching staff will be better. I don't know who came up with the idea [that] your offense is going to win. Not in the American League. If you don't catch the ball in this league, I don't care how good your offense is, it will catch up to you.'' There's just no justifcation for playing Griffey in center if Guillen truly believes what he's quoted as saying here and this was before we learned of Quentins injury. Now if we see the weak hitting/fielding Owens in CF ahead of BA I hope someone throws this quote in his face.

The official word is Q fouled off a pitch from Cliff Lee , wasn't happy he fouled it off and did what he always does : holding the bat in his left hand he basically punches the sweet spot of the bat with his right hand. I saw the exact replay and I didn't notice if it was palm open or closed fist but he probably missed the part of his hand he wanted to hit the bat with coming too close to the wrist. The surgery is the fastest way they can deal with the injury and leaves open the option of returning for the postseason if everything falls into place . Heal well and quickly Q and "GO SOX" . Start off the homestand on the right foot and kick some rookie pitcher ass tonight.

We will be ahead by 1 game going into the last game of the season. Will win the division by 2 games.

Yea and good to see #14 too.

I'm guessing here but he had 99 rbi's for a few games then got 100 and hasn't had an rbi since. That makes 1 rbi in his last 6 or 7 games. So he had to be hurting. Need him healthy for the home stand where we need to win 7/10 minimum.

Will JD be distracted by OC ?

QUOTE (nitetrain8601 @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 05:53 PM) Exactly my thoughts. He's not good. I hope KW just cuts him so Ozzie stops using him. I wish we had Timo Perez because at least he didn't suck this much. No chance of KW cutting him at all. I'm sure KW was in on the discussion about who to bring up.

Carrasco looking good. Now more runs please.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 05:52 PM) designated september pinch runner sounds good to me....maybe we can teach usain bolt to run the bases....i think oakland tried that in the 70s Herb Washington.

QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 05:46 PM) Let Getz or Griffey or CQ bat for Owens! Anybody please.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 05:44 PM) A HR now would be awesome. Almost got it.

Ha That didn't even come close to hitting Alexei.

A HR now would be awesome.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Sep 2, 2008 -> 05:09 PM) what the hell is up with the sox offense?they look lethargic You don't get runs, you look lethargic, you score and you look fine. 4-0

QUOTE (Disco72 @ Sep 1, 2008 -> 12:54 PM) So, Jerry Owens couldn't even get a hit in a simulated game? See, Ozzie doesn't hate BA. He got into a simulated game.
