QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 07:26 AM) He was actually hitting in the .260-.280 range when he was actually getting everyday playing time. Unless you just want to ignore that. He had plenty of playing time for an entire season in 2006.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 10:22 PM) Be nice if BA got some consistant playing time.... Yeah lets coddle this guy for the next 15 years in hopes that he can hit slightly above .240 for his career. GMAFB. It's not like he just came up for the first time a month ago. Play well when you have your chance.

And to think we were in the playoffs a few months ago.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 04:15 PM) No Beckham. Why the f*** is he up with the team?

First 15,000 fans get chopsticks to skewer their eyeballs during the Sox ABs.

Watched the original "The Day the Earth Stood Still" yesterday on cable. Good stuff.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 03:50 PM) He is on pace to strike out 7000 times this year. That's a lot of ABs!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 03:50 PM) It likely won't be a pretty sight. I sense a ton of booing at the park if Contreras tanks. Including me if he tanks.

QUOTE (Wanne @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 03:49 PM) please just get rid of Fields. I don't care how...please just get him off this team. They should send him and Wise on a 4 year scavenger hunt.

Are you in or out... of the closet?

Well at least the game 2 thread will have one less pessimist as I'll be at the game tonight.

I don't see how anyone can stick up for Fields anymore. The guy is no better than a backup.

Where's TimoMB345? He pull a Carradine after that last run?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 03:42 PM) Doesn't matter, if we lose in the 9th, it should be with our 2 best (and I think we all agree that those 2 are Thornton and Jenks). Knowing Ozzie, he'll say we were sving them for the second game. Meh. Of all things to complain about this doesn't make the top 10 list. The lower part of their order was coming up and Jenks sucks in non-save situations.

Where's Cintron?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 03:39 PM) I can't believe we didn't pitch Thornton or Jenks this inning. The biggest game of our season to this point, and we went with our 4th best reliever (I don't care what stats say, Linebrink has not looked overly sharp this year). Uh you do realize we gave them extra outs this inning?

QUOTE (TitoMB345 @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 03:38 PM) And this game is OVA! f*** this team, HARD. For the love of God get a hold of yourself.

Game

Here's the AB you've been waiting for Balta.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 03:33 PM) Linebrink? Interesting, as Ozzie always uses Jenks in this situation. Does he know it's the 9th, and not the 8th? Perhaps he finally figured out that Jenks isn't that impressive in non-save situations.

We can hope for 3 consecutive wild pitches.

Wise should just forfeit his AB.

I think that's AJ's first career walk.

Any reason why Pods hasn't tried stealing 2nd in this inning?

Josh Fields couldn’t hold Herbert Perry’s jock.
