ANd again come on Abreu he wants to walk u !

WTF swinging 3-0 at a terrible pitch.

A Palka sighting and a hit !

SLider was actually working for him when he couldn't locate the fastball.

On the bright side the Sox are near the top of the league in runs scored from the 7th to 9th innings

Gordon the veteran swinging at the 1st pitch. I like it.

Do we see the Royal double steal here or just see if Ruiz can throw strikes ?

What if it slips ? Can't prove intent.

Wrong guy to walk. Hell throw 99 down the middle to Hamilton.

I want a bomb (HR) now not an actual explosive device.

I hope MCann hit's a HR and pimps it like Tim.

Oh man no White Castle's in California

Got to pay your dues, if ya wanna sing the blues, and you know it don't come easy. A little Ringo Starr for u.

Hey no sweat Chicago White Sox *the poster" said sweep and I believe him.

My bad I'm much more aware of the game when I can watch it. Game day kinda bores me

Woot now get the DP from Gordon.

Geez nice spot for Osich. Probably will be at least tied after this inning and that's if Osich does well.

You really don't bunt when the count is no balls and 2 strikes , if you foul off the bunt attempt it is strike 3. What he needed to do was after the 1st pitch right down the middle realize how badly the pitcher had been throwing and take the 2nd pitch. Have to have a brain in baseball and be aware of the situation and how things have unfolded.

Oh Leury Keller was all over the place, Either he was missing badly or throwing it right done the middle. Can't K on 3 pitches there. 1st one was right down the middle after 2 of them just like that to Engel , then 2 balls Leury swung at.

Bazox gives Timmy good luck !!

Ok Eloy time to get that OPS back above .700

I keep looking for the :predict the record after 30 games" thread but I can't find it. I want to say to those who predicted disaster records to know they were wrong the second the Sox pass the predicted wins.

Help him out tell him when talking about a 5 tool player they are talking about. Arm, speed. fielding, hit for average and hit for power.Educate the ignorant. Berating doesn't teach him anything. Arm and speed are usually natural gifts whereas fielding, hitting for average ,and power can be developed.

You know like in football we are all armchair QB's , In a minor league threads many are armchair scouts and coaches .Comes with the territory and it isn't going to change. If they all disappeared there would be no Soxtalk . If there is no pessimism how can an admitted optimist like me talk/argue with anyone ? I hate how Fathom is such a pessimist but at least he's a quality contributor to the board and some posters appear to have a mancrush on him. At least he's not a dickhead like some of the other constant critics around here. Sox game threads annoy the hell out of me because everything is he sucks ,he sucks, he sucks, DFA, DFA,send him down. head case, mental midget !! Everyone is right (including me) and no one is wrong.

This is the you I like. This is the you that makes me crazy, In one post you realize a baseball season is a marathon and not a sprint and in the 2nd one you're getting concerned over a 15 AB SSSS (seriously small sample size). It's great we're all excited about the way he's hitting but adjustments from the pitchers will be forthcoming in the next 550 or so AB's of this season. Stay calm and be the you of the 1st post more often. When Konerko learned not too be too hard on himself he became a better player . As fans we could all learn to not be as hard on our team especially in light of the fact there's a lot of players coming and going during a rebuild. Criticism is warranted when players or management establishes a track record but all the SSSS BS is analyzing baseball like it's football and success at baseball is incredible harder.
