Solid 4th for CR.

And Podsednik bunts in to the double play. Yay bunting!!!

Leadoff Doubleckham.

Held em to 1, not too bad.

I don't care how hot Zobrist is here or how wild Richard is...walk Longoria.

35 pitches, 22 strikes for CR early.

QUOTE (chisoxfan09 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 03:52 PM) Why would we possibly want Jerry Owens (THE BUST) the 2nd? I just can't picture this. 1. To get Fields off the roster. 2. To get a good defensive backup CF 3. To do 2, but have it be one that Ozzie will actually play.

Josh Fields for Scott Linebrink was talked about a lot when our bullpen was struggling in 2006-2007.

Is there a rule for how much is too much? Can't say I've ever hit those symptoms, but I have been looking to add protein to my diet lately.

Wakefield to the DL, Buchholz right back up.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 02:37 PM) Boston is the hands down favorite anyway. KG coming back plus Rasheed >>> any other teams off-season to date. Will KG ever be 100% again? Will Pierce and Allen start showing their age? Will Rajon Rondo run in to the crowd and beat someone up?

QUOTE (rangercal @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 11:46 AM) still a 3rd seed. Can grab #2 from cle, but not on the same planet as Boston (at full strength) . Let's take in to account which teams are likely to be closest to full strength?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 01:17 PM) No, Seattle and Piniella did. Look how many injuries Gil Meche had out there, as well...they really abused him his first 5-6 years in the big leagues. He was consistently 94-96/97 MPH with his FB when he came up. He was usually high 80's and mostly lower 90's with us. Garcia's arm really started falling off in 2006, and then he added an extra pitch that seemed to work great for a few months, but also may have been the final straw.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 10:02 AM) Why would I buy a "smart" car with almost no room in it and some safety questions that gets mileage more or less in the 30's, when I can buy a Prius with much more room and 50 mpg and lower emissions for roughly the same money? Seriously? They're that expensive and that poor in mileage?

Yay! The Senate rejected the forced-building of F-22's!

I doubt they'll get this one in.

We do have a real habit over the years of having guys stall at the AAAA level who go on to be solid relievers with other teams, don't we?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:35 AM) Why haven't people caught on to the reason? The Sox take speed off of their pitchers to get them into a repeatable arm slot that still preserves their movement on their pitchers. It is why every single pitcher we get loses velocity here, and regains it elsewhere. It also seems to do wonders to prevent injuries, because when was the last Tommy John or shoulder surgery you remember a Sox major league pitcher getting? I'm fine with them doing that...as long as the end result is actually they're controlling the pitch. He wasn't doing either.

Did you just come out in favor of child labor?

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 09:20 AM) are the modern day Yugos. At some point a Semi Truck is going to PINTO one of these into outerspace. Actual safety test data.

Houston's going to want our first round draft pick in that, no question. And they'd probably be reluctant to give up lottery protection.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 21, 2009 -> 08:51 AM) If Guillen was racist then someone has to explain to me why he keeps bringing Linebrink in during close games. Hating Brian Anderson with a passion unbeknownst to most men is not necessarily equal to being a racist.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 20, 2009 -> 08:17 PM) He's a lot like JP Howell. I look for him to eventually get cut and make it on another squad as a reliever. Does he still have any of the stuff he had with us or has he legit lost stuff? The curve ball and the low 90's fastball?

Whoof.

Fist pump.
