South Side Fireworks Man

He didn't swing.

C'mon Canon!

Good eye, Gordon.

How was that foul? OK - it hit DeAza. At first I thought it hit the bag.

Eaton lucky there. Couldn't lay off the high ones but Verlander throws him a curve he could hit a weak grounder on to at least advance the runners.

Nice at bat for Nieto.

Abreu hits first pitch fastball out of here.

Danks lookin' pretty good so far again tonight.

Eaton strikes out on a high pitch way out of the strike zone.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 06:25 PM) Um, Matt Davidson was considered one of the best 3b prospects in the game. I would deal Gordon for a top 100 spect, at a position of need, playing in AA instantly. Actually faster. They better do a better job of scouting/talent evaluation next time.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 04:26 PM) Even if Gordon has improved, he's about to get expensive and then we lose control the year after that. Even if he has turned a corner, it makes all kinds of sense to cut ties with him. Put me on the record - if we sell high on Gordon and he turns into a perennial all-star, I don't care. We've seen too much bad for this to make sense. There is little incentive to keep him considering how pricey he gets next year in his final year of arb...and if he becomes worth that high price tag, then we have to pay him an assload as a FA to keep him around. I'll let him prove himself for somebody else and we can always think about signing him as a FA. For now, we have Semien, Johnson, Sanchez, and Saladino that could all contribute at that position. Hell, I'm still on the "teach Conor Gillaspie 2B" bandwagon. I'm all for trading Beckham as long as we get something more than a Leury Garcia or a Matt Davidson for him.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 10:42 PM) Flowers has looked bad, maybe we they should split 50/50 from here on out. He's wearing down from playing everyday. There aren't many catchers around like AJ Pierzynski who can take a beating behind the plate and continue playing everyday without their performance falling way off. Nieto needs more playing time for development and Flowers will benefit from more games off.

Yes!

High heat just off the corner - gets the K!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 10:14 PM) If they did, to package him with Samardzija to Toronto? OK, I guess that makes sense.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 10:13 PM) Said about a week ago that Cubs possibly are interested in Beckham. Why would the Cubs want Beckham?

Hawk.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 10:08 PM) If Rock's rumors was true about the Cubs wanting Gordon. What did I miss??

De Aza's been hot lately. Let's hope he can come through here and make them pay.

Double for Jose.

Unlucky there. Nice play by Kinsler.

Atta boy, Adam (Eaton)!

Good way to start the inning.

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 08:51 PM) Can we please not ruin a great night of Sox baseball with this trade Beckham and trade Ramirez and 3/4 of the team stuff We are in this to win. Thank you.

Adam with a line shot double. Sox offense woke up!
