4 balls to Burrell and two looked like they could have been strikes

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 01:39 AM) That was a fast inning. I blinked only one

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 01:34 AM) When his name is on the chopping block, whether it be in a trade or getting the boot to the 'pen, he was responded beautifully. he shows trhere is no crying in baseball

I am really happy for Richard and his showing tonight. Of course I am happy for the Sox leading too, but this performance can't be lost on management

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 01:31 AM) Both mancrush dudes contributing that inning . How many of you creamed in your jeans ? Is that in bad taste ? that's sour

QUOTE (Stocking @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 01:30 AM) ricciardi has set a july 28th halladay deadline, fwiw. Phillies or Dodgers take notice

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Jul 22, 2009 -> 01:27 AM) alexei is our version of randall simon swings at ANYTHING Beckham with two stikes goes with the pitch and is successful. Ramirez is fishing all the time for that low outside curve and of course misses it.

Some things are more important than baseball. Noit many mind you but a baby is one

Poreda will be back. Hopefully keep our young pitching talent in place

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 08:51 PM) Blister on his hand. He needs to urinate on it

QUOTE (knightni @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 05:28 PM) Apparently, our idea of defense and Ozzie's idea are two different things. I would say so

QUOTE (GO CHI SOX! @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 05:41 PM) I figure that Baltimore and Atlanta wanted to see Josh Fields, thats why he was starting last night. They like his strike out ability apparently. Or is that a pitchers forte?

I was very dissapointed in what Guillen said about BA. We then send BA down and keep the fellow hitting about abuck ninety who can't play the OF anywhere near the caliber of Anderson. And I am not anti-Wise here either. If D Wise is our option I hope he steps up. And I don't think Ozzie Guillen is racist. Reading that story made me angry. If the rationale is to open BA's eyes then I hope that happens and the kid plays hard to be with the Sox. But, if as the team leadership seems to think BA is playing hard only to look at being traded so he can play all the time then Anderson is wrong. I guess time will tell

QUOTE (forrestg @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 08:27 AM) me smell an upcoming trade. I am guessig that option is about 50/50. Actually I would rather stick with our own talent and not mortgage the future for a fellow that might leave to free agency and I am thinking that's the kind of hurler being dangled out there right now

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 10:50 AM) even Josh Fields hits fastballs better than Carlos Torres Not so fast there.. oh excuse me that's what Josh Fields says to the pitcher

QUOTE (Baines3 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 03:17 AM) Bobby will have us shaking in the 9th but he usually gets the job done. Nice win. It is always good to win, but this stuff from Jenks doing his best to blow games lately is not fun. He needs to figure out what's going on here because this will catch up to him and the Sox soon enough. When the team pulls it out and wins it is easy to forgive, but play with fire and you will get burnt eventually

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 03:15 AM) Carlos Torres start was pushed back a day. I'm thinking we might see him make a start if Richard struggles (with Richard or Poreda headed back to Charlotte temporarily to make roster space for Colon's short start). No reason to push it back regardless of what Richards does

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:36 AM) He might end up at 2B, but right now he's most important at 3B. Right! He is where he needs to be now

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 04:41 AM) He was the hot topic at the Cell tonight. Threw out 2 batters in 1 game WITH Gavin Floyd on the mound? Awesome. Props is deserved. The one thing you can say about is AJ is that he wants to win and plays hard-Ok maybe that's two things

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 08:06 PM) Which would explain the Tony Pena acquisition. Not sure if I buy that we're trying to trade Dotel/Liney but it wouldn't shock me either. Trade Tony Pena

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 07:59 PM) His fundamentals are garbage, his arm isn't nearly strong enough to make up for catching near every ball flat footed and most with his momentum moving in the opposite direction of the intended target. I've been saying this for years and every metric that attempts to quantify arm strength backs it up. His arm is strong and his fundementals are also. Listen to even opposing announcers and they say Dye might have lost a step with age but he has made up for it with his experience and the fact he can still cover ground with the best of them.

Who goes down or is rel when Colon is officially called up?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 07:56 PM) I want to see what a radar gun says for the good life before I get excited. Freddy lobbing 84 mph fastballs is not going to work out well. He needs to be 89 to 91 to be effective. At least he has excellent secondary stuff, unlike Colon who pumps in fastball after fastball and hopes movement gets him by. Freddie is quoted as saying he can throw 88-90. I hope he can make it back. Fraddie Garcia is a battler out there on the mound

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 08:56 PM) Wise over BA is the stupidiest decision in the KW era and total BS! It is like KW is telling fans FU! I question sometimes this teams player evaluations and their decison making

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 07:05 PM) Well, this should upset a whole bunch of people. It upsets me I can tell you for sure. No need to go over the arguments anymore, but the wrong fellow was sent down
