See it's not just the Sox who are bad at situational hitting.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Jul 15, 2008 -> 09:25 PM) It's destiny for Uggla to f*** up multiple times this game only to come up now in a situation to give the NL the lead. It is ? Better get your crystal ball fixed.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Jul 15, 2008 -> 09:23 PM) too much of a slow loopy toss No stretch towards the throw either.

Maybe Uggla can hit into another DP.

Second time Q had the 2-0 count and then made an out.

American League got hosed twice on the basepaths.

Hamilton won't even have to hit again.

QUOTE (bschmaranz @ Jul 14, 2008 -> 05:49 PM) Isn't everyone's favorite part of the Josh Hamilton saga when the Cubs dealt him for nothing? HA yes it is !

WOW ! When will he get tired ?

What's he hit about 18 in a row ?

This is so much fun to watch.

All you have to do is bump the where the sox will finish predictions thread to see that most Sox fans should be overjoyed at being in 1st place. I predicted a .500 or worse team based on only 1 or 2 of the young players improving on last season along with career norms for the rest of the team. Almost every young guy has done way better than expected. CQ, Alexei, Danks and Floyd in particular have catapulted this team into a bonafide contender. The bullpen's 1st half numbers far exceed the numbers from last year. I fully expect the young hitters to keep up the pace. It's the pitchers I worry about returning to the mean. But if everyone keeps doing what they're doing we're a playoff bound team and I couldn't be happier about that.

Thome's been very good since I went to the young Mr. Thome avatar .

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 10, 2008 -> 08:35 AM) I don't get everyone saying how much Texas stinks. They are 36-25 since May 1st. You posted in this thread without threatening to close it or actually closing it. Are you OK ?

yep

Just an amazing game. Hamilton is too good and Kinsler has the quietest 24 game hitting streak around. Nice to see Paulie hitting. Thome with a bomb and the final out by Alexei and Swish just made me stare open mouthed. Was listening to Oingo Boingo's 2nd album "Nothing to Fear" and a song called "Reptiles and Samurai".Was perfect up tempo music for up tempo baseball.

Wow ! just plain wow. Helluva game.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 9, 2008 -> 06:36 PM) BTW, it did look like Dye was the one that brought everything up, not Cabrera. OC was getting congrats in the dugout when he passed JD , JD said something , probably something like , "thanks for getting getting in my way" and it pissed off OC mightily. OC on 3rd with 1 out is a lot better than him on 2nd with 1 out and he was also giving JD a chance at an easy RBI so JD was definitely in the wrong.

QUOTE (tommy @ Jul 9, 2008 -> 06:28 PM) All we saw on TV was O CAB screaming and swinging his arms a lot but not sure why. OC was at the far end of the dugout yelling and cursing at someone at the other end or middle of the dugout. Contreras was restraining him. Dye possibly said something to OC about distracting him when OC stole 3rd while JD swung and missed to be in an 0-2 hole at the plate. Subsequently JD struck out.

OC was hot cursing up a storm , maybe JD said something about distracting him.

QUOTE (That funky motion @ Jul 9, 2008 -> 04:37 PM) I have dtv Its fine on 668 Thanks its listed as supposed to be on channels 741 and 742 on the extra innings package but isnt.But it is on 668 . I would've never found it . Any reason why its on that channel ?
