apparently 3-4 of them were advanced scouts, but included in the mix were the Phillies and Cubs per Bruce Levine.

Happy Birthday guys

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 01:25 AM) Didn't he already have that injury once before (I remember it was a stress fracture of some sort) Man I knew that was a brilliant trade by KW, but I'm a huge BMac fan. I hate seeing a young guy who we developed, getting his career f***ed up by another team. From the proposed adding weight, ditching the slider, etc.. It's been a mental chaos for him from what the Ranger organization has done. Yeah, I feel awful for the guy. He really is a great kid, he deserves better.

If we can get anything out of him, that is great. After the mess he was involved in, I have written him off.

Here is the "game" thread for the draft. We will discuss today on the front page of PHT http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=72142

Jared Mitchell, OF @ 23 Josh Phegley, C @ 38 Trayce Thompson, OF @ 61 David Holmberg, SP @ 71 Bryan Morgado, RP @ 102

Let's hope we keep seeing the patient Sox team that sees lots of pitches and get right back into that Tiger pen again. The Sox staff is in good shape after being saved by Contreras in game two.

Also Colon HAS to be going somewhere.

The only way I want to see Frank on the field now is in a shirt and tie. I like it.

Well we really are punting on this season. Oh well, hopefully Aaron does well.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 09:35 PM) Kinda confused what you mean here Mike, especially considering the kid is a rookie, but I guess you have a point. We have quite a few players on this team that really press too hard when they get going badly, instead of relaxing and letting it happen. If Beckham is like that, he fits right in.

I think we should fire the chat crew instead of Greg Walker. The more of them that show up, the worse the Sox hit.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 09:32 PM) With Gordo you can definitely see he's pressing. When he gets his first hit, I'm sure it'll be smooth sailing for him IMO. IN other words, he fits right in with this manic bunch.

This is not a good time for Fields to be running his mouth. The Sox are looking for players to make an example of to wake up the rest of the team.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 09:28 PM) That was a very heartless performance by the Tigers. I also bet their fans are fuming about Ordonez and Cabrera cracking up in the dugout after Bonderman was pulled and sitting next to them. Wow, that is bad. Not the time nor the place.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 09:23 PM) Sorry, I meant Wise/BA/Fields. I think Wise gets DFA'd on Wednesday, and Fields is probably on the trade block. Yeah, I realized that after I posted... I deleted.

JOSE

QUOTE (G&T @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 09:22 PM) Obligatory Marcus Thames 9th inning homer. Give him the Sammy Sosa award for meaningless homers.

QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 09:18 PM) Colon needs to just come out of the bullpen, he won't be successful in the rotation with one f***ing pitch and a mediocre pitch at that I still think a DL trip could be in his future...

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2009 -> 09:17 PM) Anderson really needs to learn to not hit the ball at very good defensive 3b. Ugh. He hasn't given Ozzie any reason to play him over Wise with the bat lately. He could try doing us all a favor and getting some damned hits! The way it is going, Wise could stick around when TCQ comes back and Fields could go to Charlotte.

Nice of the fans to recognize the pitch count and give Jose one hell of a standing ovation as he exited after last inning. Way to man up Bronze Titan

The controversial Ozzie statement should be coming soon if this doesn't work...

Meh, hopefully this is just doing the guy a favor to get him a job.
