QUOTE (jphat007 @ Jul 3, 2009 -> 08:08 PM) What an incredible pickup that Scotty Pods was for us. I was very much in the "at least he's not Owens" camp

Thats my man DW. Rooting for you has been heartache laden this year . Keep turning it around.

I still would flip Alexei and Beckham but I know they wont do it. That 2 through 6 would tire the hell out of pitchers. And then Alexei can capitalize w/ men on base

What a huge 'addition' he would be to what we're already doing. Get a bad bat out of the lineup and put in a great one. Even if not at last year's level, he gives us so much more than what we have now Then move Beckham up in the order and we have a nice attack

And wow, Wise would make a huge mistake leaving this organization. They have an unfounded level of trust in his abilities that he will find nowhere else.

Also the possibility of Pods getting injured or fading some....that's still huge. Not trying to be a downer, but you still may need BA/Wise. If Pods gets injured then we'd have a huge dependence on Wise. Unless Ozzie ever wants to give AR in CF a shot, but he wont.

Yea, i mean that presupposes Brian would start somewhere else. Maybe for a particularly bad or in need team.

against lefties at 2b.... spell alexei, becks here and there, get him in LF at times. i think it's the best we can do. at the very least we have some pop off the bench.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jul 2, 2009 -> 09:36 PM) My friends, that is a 6 game winning streak. Too bad the old deal with David Kaplan isnt on this year.

Too bad it's not 8-1 or we could potentially risk using Brink

just get that W.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 2, 2009 -> 08:43 PM) Is anyone else... I'm not kidding... starting to get that '05 feeling? I hate to say it, because it sounds douchy... but the coaches are all funny, the personalities are coming out... I dunno. I have a good feeling about this team right now. I think you're mainly saying that because Jeff Cox was absolutely hysterical to watch in that clip. Like one of those crank yankers puppets

that run was batted in but it was not a run batted in.

ok they heard me.

When we get CQ in here, it's the possibility that we have last yr's lineup coming together with what we had all wished for. WHAT IF konerko was producing 0708. + becks. it's nuts to think about.

Cmon Sox. Seen this guy a few times now through the order. Lets do it now.

That was the weirdest pitch call. Ump seemed to indicate strike but yells ball. AND pods was doing his head-down walk to the dugout.

More Nix thoughts: is he Josh Fields of 07

i dont know if i can remember a slap hitter so committed to solely slap hitting. he was not always this way.

we'll win this 1-0. It wil be done quick

what the hell was that EDIT: yea i was gonna say. he shouldntve gone but also he was safe.

I know some south american countries have big asian populations. Peru had a recent president who I believe was a son of Japanese immigrants. It wouldbe a shame if we dont find a spot for Nix here, he really could develop as a hitter. And great glove already.

OR: Severe bout with clutchness last year, has recovered this year.

Alexei has a bad case of being outstanding. Real bad.

I have never had good seats. Not even halfway good. When i was an usher -thats when i got close.
