We paid for it big time

Bad fielding again by the Sox. Way too many errors this year

Here's that Fox guy again with another hit. Let's hope he dopesn't come up with a RISP later when the Cubs need it to win

74 picthers by Jose and we are in the top of the 7th. That's pretty good pitchin right there

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 09:26 PM) That's just stupid. Have we even tried a hit-and-run with Alexei up and Pods on? You are assuming Thome would do what?

Dadgummit all! PK grounds out with two on. Trade that guy right away

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 08:53 PM) Dude, Jake Fox has an identical swing as Uribe. That good huh!

Castro and Contreras can't figure out how to pitch to Fox aparently. A two run dinger and what looked like top of the hitting zone-middle of the plate

QUOTE (ChiSox420* @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 08:41 PM) Final Year at 10M I hope we keep Jose. Maybe not for $10M, but something doable for both sides. You can never have enough pitching especially quality veteran starters

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 06:41 PM) Yeah, I would too. Well, it depends on the number of errors. 23 HRs and a .285 average means a lot less if you're Wilson Betemit butchering routine plays at an embarrassing rate. A real good defensive player like Uribe can be a major plus regardless of his batting average. But, you mention betemit and he is one I would like to know what is going to transpire as far as he is concerned. He was bad at 3B but I don't remember his skill at 1B. I am thinking it wasn't good either.

QUOTE (WCSox @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 06:07 PM) Wow, the ONE day that I'd be able to actually see the Sox on Fox (no WGN on Comcast out here), I'm going camping. Figures. I just got back from the Portland area and there was no sunshine. How is it now?

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 04:24 PM) They like the games for the Sox/Cubs to be during the day because there tends to be less "trouble". Well, I know why and who to blame. I would think that Sox fans can handle trouble so it must be the yuppies fault

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 07:16 PM) The Sox get to see a rookie pitcher they have never faced before, at home... Ugh. Disaster is lurking

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 07:08 PM) "The Last Boyscout" style or figuratively? Is there a difference?

We talk about moving everyone around to different positions it seems after every game or every error they make. Think long term here. What do we do with Vicideo when he is ready to play at the big league level and then what do we do with Ramirez, Getz and Beckham? What do we do with Jordan Danks and Allen when they are ready, which might be soon? Same goes for Quentin and BA? You start moving a player around just because they make an error and all of sudden you have a constant game of musical positions as prospects start popping up on the big league level and nobody fits in defensively.

I know the Sox are taking it easy with Poreda, but I am anxious to see him start. Clayton has been less than good the last several starts

I am a bit upset with three daytime starts. I was hoping at least Friday would be a night game. What's up with this scheduling for the Cubs series? Are they trying to save on the electric bill?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 26, 2009 -> 05:50 AM) Finally admitted what most people here called months ago.. though I still love that quote toward the end of it... Ozzie is brutally honest.. and hilarious. But, Alexei is playing his first year at the big league SS position. He did real good last year at 2B, which was not his "natural position". Alexei for all his talent is still learning at the big league level. I have seen some plays where he is absolutely incredible and then he blows easy ones. It is concentration he needs to work on and work hard all the time. This is Ozzie's way to motivate Ramirez I think.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 03:49 PM) I remember Frank Thomas' first year up in the bigs. Now that was impressive. Yes sir! to the Big Hurt

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 22, 2009 -> 02:47 AM) Gordon Beckham was 8-for-27 (.296) in the eight games. For a kid having to basically learn 3B at the major league level he did pretty good there from what I saw. Great athlete. Real fun to see that first ML homer too.

Friday's game is on WGN Saturday's game is the Fox Saturday Game of the Week Sunday is on WGN See you behind the Tube

He helped win a game or two and that's important. If he is going to be a part of this team then obviously he needs to produce and he did. I don't see him as more than the 4th or 5th outfielder, but regrdless when he plays he needs to step up. I believe he was rushed back from injury rehab and that was keeping him from doing well.

Let's at least acknowledge the fact Wise seems to be getting his act together also. Happy to see the guy get some hits and make a defensive play that helped

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 21, 2009 -> 08:37 PM) We may not like it but we're going to need him to work things out somehow, and the only way that's happening is on the mound unless he's actually hurt. Exactly! As was said by Hawk and Stone Linebrink wasn't able to get anything over except his fastball. Hopefully he gets things back on track

I was happy for D Wise tonight
