South Side Fireworks Man

Nice - first and third. Gotta score here.

Nice hitting, Tim.

Nice job Q.

Well, there's your run support, Q.

Time for Todd to go long here.

Abreu gets him in with an opposite field single. Nice job.

Eaton hit it hard, got one in.

Anderson almost went oppo. 2nd & 3rd, gotta score two here.

I miss Jason Benetti.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 3, 2016 -> 09:59 AM) Rather see Saladino at 3rd and Frazier DHing. Improves D and doesn't hurt O. Also risk, although slight, of losing DH spot. Rather see Frazier at 1B with Abreu DH.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 07:11 PM) Seven solo homers.

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 05:44 PM) Sox don't need Rick Hahn making any more trades. They had a CF, they had a 17 homer guy, and they had a starter w/ a 1.06 WHIP. The D at 3rd isn't the best either...he's probably the best choice to play first. Agree with you on Hahn, but I wish the Sox could make some good trades/acquisitions for bullpen help and a couple of bats that can also play defense. Don't know if it's possible but if it would require JR overspending in salary as opposed to trading talent than so be it.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 06:01 PM) That my friends was the definition of "winning ugly..." 41 wins, halfway to a winning season! WOO HOO! (Hey at least that would be something...) Mark I'd rather win ugly than lose looking good.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 05:35 PM) I was just going with getting the original starters (Cabrera and Jackson) back and adding Morneau. Yeah it will be nice having the three of them back, that's for sure.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 05:29 PM) Yes, they could have 3 new position players soon after the all star break. Any ideas? As far as position players I'd like to see them add a centerfielder that can hit and a good hitting first baseman who plays good defense so Abreu can DH. Unless Morneau shows he still has something left in the tank. I'd really like them to picjk up a couple of solid relievers. Don't know if all of this is possible though.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 05:25 PM) Making judgments based on no information usually doesn't lead to the right conclusions. There are many reasons why the team can be playing the way they are. Making judgments based on absolutely no information only conjecture is fine if you want, my opinion is that it's not a good way to judge what's really going on. None of us know what is really going on behind the scenes. We can only go by what we observe. But we're all entitled to our opinions, including you and SouthSideSale.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 05:21 PM) BLOW IT UP MANGGGG Buy a center fielder, a first baseman and a couple of good relievers and we're right there.

QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 05:20 PM) Let's take the series tomorrow!! Q is gonna have to pitch a shutout tomorrow!

Got the job done, David. Shook off the home run and got Rasmus for the third out. Big win Sox!!

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 05:11 PM) Who would you people say is the smartest baseball player on the team... maybe Saladino? Maybe Saladino or Avila? Or Frazier?

That was a big run to leave out there at second base. Let's hope Robertson can nail this one down. This is a good game to win.

Ugh. C'mon Brett, we need to get this run in!

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 05:00 PM) Got it. I though it was KW who did it and had the argument with Sale. My mistake, it was KW. Forgot Hahn is the GM for a moment!

QUOTE (TitoMB @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 04:52 PM) Got a text an hour ago from my Astro's fan buddy saying "Lol Eaton is an idiot". What did Adam do now? QUOTE (soxfan85 @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 04:54 PM) 1) Slipped and fell rounding third on a single to LF...decided to ignore the third base coach and still go home...got thrown out. 2) Man on first and second, no out (Eaton at second). Decides to steal third...gets thrown out. He has been a bonehead today. The worst part about the play at home plate was he did a Walter Payton dive over the catcher's head and landed on the plate on his hand. He could have easily broken his wrist.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jul 2, 2016 -> 04:54 PM) Sorry, I was commenting on the post that this club has too much of a country club atmosphere. Not sure what your post was about then. I just answered your post about LaRoche. You brought up Laroche as an example to another poster who said it was like a country club. My point was that it took the GM to come in and settle a clubhouse issue.
